This patchset introduces a new SMP implementation for systems based around the
MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture (ie. those with a Coherence
Manager, Cluster Power Controller & Global Interrupt Controller). Previously
the only way to run SMP on a multi-core CPS-based system was to have the
bootloader start secondary cores via the interface enabled by CONFIG_MIPS_CMP.
That causes a number of issues which this SMP implementation solves:
- The bootloader formerly had to be able to start secondary cores, even
though it probably didn't make use of them itself. As multiple different
bootloaders may be used they would all have to duplicate this functionality
despite it being of no use to them. Having the kernel bring up secondary
cores solves this problem nicely.
- There formerly had to be an interface between the bootloader and the
kernel with bootloader code available for as long as the kernel may need
to bring up secondary CPUs. Whilst right now this is only during boot, in
the future once hotplug and/or cpuidle core power down are implemented the
bootloader interface would need to be extended further and the bootloader
would need to be present always. This interface also introduces dependencies
between versions of the kernel & versions of the various bootloaders, which
are avoided by having the kernel bring up cores.
- There formerly had to be a bootloader. On some systems (primarily
development platforms) it is desirable to be able to load a kernel via means
such as a JTAG debug probe and execute it without any other code having run.
Practically that previously meant that you could not run an SMP kernel
across multiple cores.
As part of this the existing Malta-specific CM code is replaced with more
general, more consistent CM code & similar CPC code is introduced. At the end of
the series CONFIG_MIPS_CMP is marked as deprecated, since the new
CONFIG_MIPS_CPS should be used in preference to it.
