This patch is based on work of "Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>"
previously published at https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/21/563.

In case when BIOS is populating MADT wiht both x2apic and local apic
entries (as per ACPI spec), e.g. for Xeon Phi Knights Landing,
kernel builds it's processor table in the following order:
BSP, X2APIC, local APIC, resulting in processors on the same core
are not separated by core count, i.e.

Core LCpu   ApicId    LCpu    ApicId     LCpu    ApicId    LCpu    ApicId
0    0 (  0 [0000]),   97 (  1 [0001]),  145 (  2 [0002]),  193 (  3 [0003])
1   50 (  4 [0004]),   98 (  5 [0005]),  146 (  6 [0006]),  194 (  7 [0007])
2   51 ( 16 [0010]),   99 ( 17 [0011]),  147 ( 18 [0012]),  195 ( 19 [0013])
3   52 ( 20 [0014]),  100 ( 21 [0015]),  148 ( 22 [0016]),  196 ( 23 [0017])
4   53 ( 24 [0018]),  101 ( 25 [0019]),  149 ( 26 [001a]),  197 ( 27 [001b])
5   54 ( 28 [001c]),  102 ( 29 [001d]),  150 ( 30 [001e]),  198 ( 31 [001f])
...

Please note, how LCpu are mixed for physical cores (Core).

This patch fixes this behavior and resulting assignment is
consistent with other Xeon processors, i.e.

Core LCpu   ApicId    LCpu    ApicId     LCpu    ApicId    LCpu    ApicId
0    0 (  0 [0000]),   72 (  1 [0001]),  144 (  2 [0002]),  216 (  3 [0003])
1    1 (  4 [0004]),   73 (  5 [0005]),  145 (  6 [0006]),  217 (  7 [0007])
2    2 (  8 [0008]),   74 (  9 [0009]),  146 ( 10 [000a]),  218 ( 11 [000b])
3    3 ( 12 [000c]),   75 ( 13 [000d]),  147 ( 14 [000e]),  219 ( 15 [000f])
4    4 ( 16 [0010]),   76 ( 17 [0011]),  148 ( 18 [0012]),  220 ( 19 [0013])
5    5 ( 20 [0014]),   77 ( 21 [0015]),  149 ( 22 [0016]),  221 ( 23 [0017])

Hi Lukasz,
	I have some concerns here about "maxcpus" and "nox2apic" kernel
parameters. Say "maxcpus=72 nox2apic" is specified, user may get
less than 72 CPUs with you patch applied. Original code will try to
only all xapic CPUs before trying x2apic CPUs, so "maxcpus" doesn't
conflict with "nox2apic".
Thanks!
Gerry

HI Gerry,

'nox2apic' is causing kernel panics with and w/o my patch.
Here's the stack trace:

#0  panic (fmt=0xffffffff818043c8 "timer doesn't work through Interrupt-remapped IO-APIC") at kernel/panic.c:72
#1  0xffffffff813df48c in panic_if_irq_remap (msg=<optimized out>) at drivers/iommu/irq_remapping.c:152

#4  0xffffffff81b59655 in apic_bsp_setup (upmode=<optimized out>) at arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2184
#5  0xffffffff81b57370 in native_smp_prepare_cpus (max_cpus=<optimized out>) at arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c:1201

#10 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

On HSW i7-4770, I'm getting 8 CPUs booted, regardless of the 'nox2apic' setting w/ my patch.

Cheers,
Lukasz

You are missing to explain WHY this is the wrong ordering.

You are missing to explain HOW you fix it. It's completely non obvious
why the conversion to an parse array makes it work.

Here you revert the parse order.

Once more.

Please add proper explanations why the array parser is required and
why the parse order needs to be reverse.
