[PATCHv3 2/5] arm64: factor out spin-table boot method

Mark Rutland mark.rutland at arm.com
Wed Aug 14 12:20:25 EDT 2013


The arm64 kernel has an internal holding pen, which is necessary for
some systems where we can't bring CPUs online individually and must hold
multiple CPUs in a safe area until the kernel is able to handle them.
The current SMP infrastructure for arm64 is closely coupled to this
holding pen, and alternative boot methods must launch CPUs into the pen,
where they sit before they are launched into the kernel proper.

With PSCI (and possibly other future boot methods), we can bring CPUs
online individually, and need not perform the secondary_holding_pen
dance. Instead, this patch factors the holding pen management code out
to the spin-table boot method code, as it is the only boot method
requiring the pen.

A new entry point for secondaries, secondary_entry is added for other
boot methods to use, which bypasses the holding pen and its associated
overhead when bringing CPUs online. The smp.pen.text section is also
removed, as the pen can live in head.text without problem.

The smp_operations structure is extended with two new functions,
cpu_boot and cpu_postboot, for bringing a cpu into the kernel and
performing any post-boot cleanup required by a bootmethod (e.g.
resetting the secondary_holding_pen_release to INVALID_HWID).
Documentation is added for smp_operations.
