[PATCH v2 0/3] ARM: renesas: Enable SMP on R-Car E2

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

This patch series enables SMP on R-Car E2 (r8a7794).
The main hurdle here is that R-Car Gen2 boot loaders do not initialize the
arch_timer CNTVOFF register, which thus needs workarounds on Linux.

  - The first patch adds a definition for MON_MODE, as suggested by Marc
    Zyngier,
  - The second patch makes sure CNTVOFF is initialized for boot and
    secondary Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7 CPU cores, like is already done
    for the boot Cortex-A7 CPU core.  Without this, the ARM arch timer
    does not work on secondary CPU cores.
    This patch depends on "[PATCH v2] ARM: shmobile: rcar-gen2: Correct
    arch timer frequency on RZ/G1E".
  - The third patch adds the required infrastructure (APMU device node
    and corresponding enable-method) to DT.
    Obviously this must not be applied on a branch that does not contain
    the first two patches!

Due to dependencies, I think it is easiest if the ARM maintainers provide
their Acked-by for patch 1, so the whole series can go in through Simon's
Renesas tree.

Changes compared to v1:
  - New patch "[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: Add definition for monitor mode",
  - Initialize CNTVOFF on Cortex-A15, too,
  - Use *_MODE definitions instead of hardcoded values,
  - Reduce duplication by calling the asm version from C,
  - Always build headsmp-apmu.o on R-Car Gen2.

This has been tested on r8a7794/alt (dual Cortex-A7), and regression-tested
on r8a7790/lager (quad Cortex-A15), and r8a7791/koelsch, r8a7791/porter,
r8a7792/blanche, and r8a7793/gose (dual Cortex-A15).

Thanks!
