Both ACPI and MP specifications require that the APIC id in the respective tables must be the same as the APIC id in CPUID. The kernel retrieves the physical package id from the APIC id during the ACPI/MP table scan and builds the physical to logical package map. The physical package id which is used after a CPU comes up is retrieved from CPUID. So we rely on ACPI/MP tables and CPUID agreeing in that respect. There exist VMware and XEN implementations which violate the spec. As a result the physical to logical package map, which relies on the ACPI/MP tables does not work on those systems, because the CPUID initialized physical package id does not match the firmware id. This causes system crashes and malfunction due to invalid package mappings. The only way to cure this is to sanitize the physical package id after the CPUID enumeration and yell when the APIC ids are different. Fix up the initial APIC id, which is fine as it is only used printout purposes. If the physical package IDs differ yell and use the package information from the ACPI/MP tables so the existing logical package map just works. Chas provided the resulting dmesg output for his affected 4 virtual sockets, 1 core per socket VM: [Firmware Bug]: CPU1: APIC id mismatch. Firmware: 1 CPUID: 2 [Firmware Bug]: CPU1: Using firmware package id 1 instead of 2 .... Reported-and-tested-by: "Charles (Chas) Williams" <ciwillia@brocade.com>, Reported-by: M.
