2011-06-21ARM: SMP: wait for CPU to be marked activeRussell King1-1/+5
When we bring a CPU online, we should wait for it to become active before entering the idle thread, so we know that the scheduler and thread migration is going to work. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This function is only called by percpu_timer_setup() which is also __cpuinit marked. Thus it's safe to mark this function as __cpuinit as well. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-04-14sched: Provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()Peter Zijlstra1-4/+1
For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on. In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI. This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and implements it as a NOP. BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

2011-02-23ARM: 6759/1: smp: Select local timers vs broadcast timer support runtimeSantosh Shilimkar1-4/+3
The current code support of dummy timers in absence of local timer is compile time. This is an attempt to convert it to runtime so that on few SOC version if the local timers aren't supported kernel can switch to dummy timers. OMAP4430 ES1.0 does suffer from this limitation. This patch should not have any functional impact on affected files.

2010-12-22ARM: pgtable: collect up identity mapping functionsRussell King1-34/+0

2010-12-22ARM: pgtable: remove L2 cache flushes for SMP page table bring-upRussell King1-2/+0

2010-12-20ARM: SMP: ensure frame pointer is reinitialized for soft-CPU hotplugRussell King1-0/+1
When we soft-CPU hotplug a CPU, we reset the stack pointer and jump back to start_secondary(). This allows us to restart as if the CPU was actually reset. However, we weren't resetting the frame pointer, which could cause problems with backtracing. Reset the frame pointer to zero (which means no parent frame) just like the early assembly code also does. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: SMP: split out software TLB maintainence broadcastingRussell King1-126/+0

2010-12-20ARM: localtimer: clean up local timer on hot unplugRussell King1-1/+18
When a CPU is hot unplugged, the generic tick code cleans up the clock event device, but fails to call down to the device's set_mode function to actually shut the device down. To work around this, we've historically had a local_timer_stop() callback out of the hotplug code. However, this adds needless complexity when we have the clock event device itself available. Explicitly call the clock event device's set_mode function with CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED, so that the hardware can be cleanly shutdown without any special external callbacks. When/if the generic code is fixed, percpu_timer_stop() can be killed off. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: smp: improve CPU bringup failure diagnosticsRussell King1-9/+5
We used to print a bland error message which gave no clue as to the failure when we failed to bring up a secondary CPU. Resolve this by separating the two failure cases. If boot_secondary() fails, we print a message indicating the returned error code from boot_secondary(): "CPU%u: failed to boot: %d\n", cpu, ret. However, if boot_secondary() succeeded, but the CPU did not appear to mark itself online within the timeout, indicate that it failed to come online: "CPU%u: failed to come online\n", cpu Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: CPU hotplug: ensure correct ordering of unplugRussell King1-1/+3

2010-12-20ARM: CPU hotplug: move cpu_killed completion to core codeRussell King1-1/+13
We always need to wait for the dying CPU to reach a safe state before taking it down, irrespective of the requirements of the platform. Move the completion code into the ARM SMP hotplug code rather than having each platform re-implement this. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: SMP: consolidate trace_hardirqs_off() into common SMP codeRussell King1-0/+1
All platforms call trace_hardirqs_off() in their secondary startup code, so move this into the core SMP code - it doesn't need to be in the per-platform code. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: SMP: consolidate the common parts of smp_prepare_cpus()Russell King1-11/+38
There is a certain amount of smp_prepare_cpus() which doesn't belong in the platform support code - that is, code which is invariant to the SMP implementation.

2010-12-20ARM: SMP: ensure smp_send_stop() waits for CPUs to stopRussell King1-3/+15

2010-12-18ARM: smp: avoid incrementing mm_users on CPU startupRussell King1-1/+0
We should not be incrementing mm_users when we startup a secondary CPU - doing so results in mm_users incrementing by one each time we hotplug a CPU, which will eventually wrap, and will cause problems. Other architectures such as x86 do not increment mm_users, but only mm_count, so we follow that pattern. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-03ARM: SMP: remove IRQ-disabling for smp_cross_call()Russell King1-6/+0
As we've now removed the spinlock and bitmask, we have nothing left which requires interrupts to be disabled when sending an IPI. All current IPI-sending implementations use the GIC, which also does not require interrupts disabled when calling gic_raise_softirq(). Remove the now unnecessary IRQ disable.

x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs. So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does.

2010-07-27ARM: SMP: Always enable clock event broadcast supportRussell King1-1/+5
The TWD local timers are unable to wake up the CPU when it is placed into a low power mode, eg. C3. Therefore, we need to adapt things such that the TWD code can cope with this. We do this by always providing a broadcast tick function, and marking the fact that the TWD local timer will stop in low power modes. This means that when the CPU is placed into a low power mode, the core timer code marks this fact, and allows an IPI to be given to the core.

Fix: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die() The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section. Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel() The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel(). This is often seen when error handling in the exit function uses functionality in the init path. The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section. Sam says: > The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong. > To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall: > - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n > - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are also wrong.
