This patchset adds support for booting the secondary CPU cores (and taking them offline again) on Amlogic Meson8 and Meson8b SoCs. It is based on an earlier version from Carlo Caione - this helped me a lot to get a better understanding of how SMP/CPU hotplug works (compared to the code found in Amlogic's GPL kernel sources from year 2015). The .dts changes from series depend on: - "add the reset controller to the Meson8b clkc", see [1] - "ARM: dts: meson: add a node which describes the SRAM", see [2] Changes since v2 from [0] - added support for Meson8 (which requires a slightly different enable-method) - implemented CPU hotplug support which allows taking a CPU core offline for both, Meson8 and Meson8b - add a function to smp_scu.c which allows enabling a CPU core from a different CPU (previously only the power mode for the current CPU could be changed). Without this the CPU cores on Meson8 won't come up (Amlogic's vendor GPL kernel sources also enable power through SCU as very first step for Meson8b as well) - add a function to smp_scu.c to get the power status of a CPU core (which is needed because the code in .cpu_kill needs to wait until the core is actually powered off) - dropped patch "ARM: DTS: meson8b: Extend L2 cache controller node" as it is already applied (for both, Meson8 and Meson8b) - dropped the patches which implement the reset controller which is built into the clock-controller, these are a separate series: [1] - moved the enable-method property to each CPU node [0] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-December/390355.html [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2017-July/004283.html [2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2017-July/004282.html Carlo Caione (2): dt-bindings: Amlogic: Add Meson8 and Meson8b SMP related documentation ARM: dts: meson8b: add support for booting the secondary CPU cores Martin Blumenstingl (4): ARM: smp_scu: add a helper for powering on a specific CPU ARM: smp_scu: allow the platform code to read the SCU CPU status ARM: meson: Add SMP bringup code for Meson8 and Meson8b ARM: dts: meson8: add support for booting the secondary CPU cores .../devicetree/bindings/arm/amlogic/pmu.txt | 18 + .../devicetree/bindings/arm/amlogic/smp-sram.txt | 32 ++ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt | 2 + arch/arm/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8.dtsi | 20 + arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8b.dtsi | 20 + arch/arm/include/asm/smp_scu.h | 12 + arch/arm/kernel/smp_scu.c | 47 +- arch/arm/mach-meson/Kconfig | 1 + arch/arm/mach-meson/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm/mach-meson/platsmp.c | 502 +++++++++++++++++++++ 11 files changed, 650 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/amlogic/pmu.txt create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/amlogic/smp-sram.txt create mode 100644 arch/arm/mach-meson/platsmp.c -- 2.13.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
