1 QEMU<->ACPI BIOS CPU hotplug interface
2 --------------------------------------
3
4 QEMU supports CPU hotplug via ACPI. This document
5 describes the interface between QEMU and the ACPI BIOS.
6
7 ACPI GPE block (IO ports 0xafe0-0xafe3, byte access):
8 -----------------------------------------
9
10 Generic ACPI GPE block. Bit 2 (GPE.2) used to notify CPU
11 hot-add/remove event to ACPI BIOS, via SCI interrupt.
12
13 CPU present bitmap (IO port 0xaf00-0xae1f, 1-byte access):
14 ---------------------------------------------------------------
15 One bit per CPU. Bit position reflects corresponding CPU APIC ID.
16 Read-only.
17
18 CPU hot-add/remove notification:
19 -----------------------------------------------------
20 QEMU sets/clears corresponding CPU bit on hot-add/remove event.
21 CPU present map read by ACPI BIOS GPE.2 handler to notify OS of CPU
22 hot-(un)plug events.
