The following patches add basic HOTPLUG_CPU support to arm64, which
combined with appropriate firmware (e.g. [1]) can be used to power CPUs
up and down dynamically.
I've tested this series with the bootwrapper PSCI implementation I've
placed on linux-arm.org [1] and a modified foundation model dts with a
psci node and each CPU's enable-method set to "psci", using a shell
while repeatedly cycling all cpus off and on:
for C in $(seq 0 3); do
./cyclichotplug.sh $C&
done
---->8----
#!/bin/sh
# cyclichotplug.sh
CPU=$1;
if [ -z "$CPU" ]; then
printf "Usage: $0 <cpu id>\n";
exit 1;
fi
ONLINEFILE=/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$CPU/online;
while true; do
echo 0 > $ONLINEFILE;
sleep 0.0$RANDOM;
echo 1 > $ONLINEFILE;
done
---->8----
Nico, Santosh,
Due to rearranging smp_operations to cpu_operations, I've dropped the
Acks you provided for v3. Other than the changes to accomodate this or
the logical consequences (folding smp_psci.c and psci.c) I hope I
haven't made too major a change to not be Ack-worthy again :)
Thanks,
Mark.
Since v1 [2]:
* Rebased to v3.11-rc2 to solve cpuinit removal conflicts.
* Removed failure path for cpu_die, it causes more problems than it solves.
* Removed cpu_kill, we don't currently need it.
* Test for cpu_die in op_cpu_disable to fail early and survive when there's no
mechanism for hot unplug.
* Change pr_err on failed cpu_die to a pr_crit.
* Removed dependency on HOTPLUG, which has been obliterated.
Since v2 [3]:
* Rebased to v3.11-rc4 to prevent clash with Xen [4].
* Added proper kerneldoc comments to smp_operations.
* Removed harmful RCU_NONIDLE from cpu_die as per arm
implementation (aa03381046: ARM: smp: Drop RCU_NONIDLE usage in cpu_die()).
* Expanded cpu_die comments.
* Added missing newline to pr_crit in smp_psci_cpu_die().
Since v3 [5]:
* Rebased all the way to v3.12-rc4
* Split cpu_operations from SMP, per Catalin's comments.
* Read CPU0's enable-method even on UP kernels.
* Folded smp_psci.c into psci.c.
* Updated test scripts per Nico's comments.
