Enhance the API to support SMT threads, this will allow sharing
resources among multiple SMT threads.
Enabled the sharing of resources, such as L1 Cache and clocks, between
SMT threads. It introduces a fix that uses thread IDs to match each CPU
thread in the register array within the cpu-node. This ensures that the
cpu-map or any driver relying on this API is fine even when SMT threads
share resources.
Additionally, I have tested this for CPU based on the discussions in
[1], I adopted the new cpu-map layout, where the first parameter is a
phandle and the second is the local thread index, as shown below:
core0 {
thread0 {
cpu = <&cpu0 0>;
};
thread1 {
cpu = <&cpu0 1>;
};
};
Also, there are devices such as below that are a bit different.
arm_dsu at 0 {
compatible = "arm,dsu";
cpus = <&cpu0 &cpu1 &cpu2 &cpu3>;
}
In these cases, we can also point to a CPU thread as well like the
following:
arm_dsu at 0 {
compatible = "arm,dsu";
cpus = <&cpu0 5 &cpu1 9 &cpu2 1 &cpu3 0>;
}
It should be possible to know how many arguments a phandle might
require, and this information is encoded in another variable in the dt
called #cpu-cells in cpu node.
