[RFC] arm64: Add new cpu-return-addr device tree binding

Geoff Levand geoff at infradead.org
Fri Aug 15 12:48:50 PDT 2014


Add a new device tree binding cpu-return-addr.  This binding is required for
all ARM v8 CPUs that have an "enable-method" property value of "spin-table". The
value is a 64 bit read-only physical address that secondary CPU execution will
transfer to upon CPU shutdown.

Hi All,

We currently have no way for arm64 spin-table CPUs to re-enter the spin
table code, and some way to do so is needed to implement a hot-plug
cpu_die() for these CPUs.  

I just wanted to get this binding patch out for review now.  I have other
patches that implement the spin-table hot-plug in my kexec repo [1].

Please consider.

-Geoff
