OK. Now I'm confused :) We may have several different configurations here:
1) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI are not set.
In this case keystone arch needs to have
keystone_smp_boot_secondary();
2) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI is not set.
keystone_smp_boot_secondary() is required and non PSCI
implementation of keystone_cpu_die() is also required.
3) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI=y
4) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI=y
How do I boot secondary CPUs in cases of 3 and 4?
Do I need to implement PSCI version of the
keystone_smp_boot_secondary() of adding PSCI commands to DTB is
enough?
Do I need to implement keystone_cpu_die() if PSCI commands are
added to DTB?
Thanks,
Vitaly
