The boot_lock is something that was required for ARM development
platforms to ensure that the delay calibration worked properly. This
is not necessary for modern platforms that have better bus bandwidth
and do not need to calibrate the delay loop for secondary cores.
Remove the boot_lock entirely.

Andy have you had a chance to test/apply this patch?
I think the majority of Qcom systems use CLKSRC_QCOM
which registers an arch delay timer and swiftly bypasses the
calibration anyways so this code is pretty much pointless.
There is a question about MSM8974 though. This appears
to not use CLKSRC_QCOM but rather HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER.
drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c seems to
not register a delay timer, which is probably something that
should be fixed?
Mark/Marc: is there any specific reason to why the ARM arch
timer does not register an arch delay timer?
Yours,
Linus Walleij

Doesn't the ARM arch timer get registered in
arch/arm/kernel/arch_timer.c via arch_timer_delay_timer_register()?

Ah indeed it does, OK then, this patch should be fine from that
point of view.

I would rather folk do not _apply_ these patches - the final patch
is dependent on all the preceeding patches, and if they're applied
to individual trees, it will mean that the final patch has to be
delayed by a complete kernel development cycle to avoid bisect
breakage.

The CPU hotplug implementation on this platform is cargo-culted from
the plat-versatile implementation, and is buggy. Once a CPU hits the
"low power" loop, it will wait for pen_release to be set to the CPU
number to wake up again - but nothing in this implementation does that.
So, once a CPU has entered cpu_die() it will never, ever leave.
Remove this useless cargo-culted implementation.

The pen_release implementation was created for Versatile platforms to
work around boot loaders that did not differentiate between the
various different secondary CPUs on this ARM development platform.
This should not be true of modern platforms where we send IPIs to
specific CPUs to wake them up. Remove the pen_release stuff from
SoCs that make use of the per-CPU IPI mechanism.
The boot_lock is something that was required for ARM development
platforms to ensure that the delay calibration worked properly. This
is not necessary for modern platforms that have better bus bandwidth
and do not need to calibrate the delay loop for secondary cores.
Remove the boot_lock entirely.

Even if this patch is breaking the secondary CPU's bringup, it can be
merged as explained in the commit message.
I will send an additionnal patch to restore the secondary CPU's bringup.
Thanks for this clean-up.

The actions SMP implementation has several issues:
1. pen_release is only ever read and compared to -1, and is defined in
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c to be -1. This test will always succeed.
2. we are already guaranteed to be single threaded while bringing up a
CPU, so the spinlock makes no sense, remove it.
3. owl_secondary_startup() is not referenced nor defined, the prototype
is redundant, remove it.

The only difference between the hotplug implementation for Realview
and Versatile Express are the bit in the auxiliary control register
to disable coherency. Combine the two implentations accounting for
that difference.
Rename the functions to try to discourage cargo-cult copying of this
code.

The arm boot_lock is used by the secondary processor startup code. The locking
task is the idle thread, which has idle->sched_class == &idle_sched_class.
idle_sched_class->enqueue_task == NULL, so if the idle task blocks on the
lock, the attempt to wake it when the lock becomes available will fail:
try_to_wake_up()
...
activate_task()
enqueue_task()
p->sched_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags)
Fix by converting boot_lock to a raw spin lock.

Consolidating the "pen_release" stuff amongst the various SoC
implementations gives credence to having a CPU holding pen for
secondary CPUs. However, this is far from the truth.
Many SoC implementations cargo-cult copied various bits of the pen
release implementation from the initial Realview/Versatile Express
implementation without understanding what it was or why it existed.
The reason it existed is because these are _development_ platforms,
and some board firmware is unable to individually control the
startup of secondary CPUs. Moreover, they do not have a way to
power down or reset secondary CPUs for hot-unplug. Hence, the
pen_release implementation was designed for ARM Ltd's development
platforms to provide a working implementation, even though it is
very far from what is required.
It was decided a while back to reduce the duplication by consolidating
the "pen_release" variable, but this only made the situation worse -
we have ended up with several implementations that read this variable
but do not write it - again, showing the cargo-cult mentality at work,
lack of proper review of new code, and in some cases a lack of testing.
While it would be preferable to remove pen_release entirely from the
kernel, this is not possible without help from the SoC maintainers,
which seems to be lacking. However, I want to remove pen_release from
arch code to remove the credence that having it gives.
This patch removes pen_release from the arch code entirely, adding
private per-SoC definitions for it instead, and explicitly stating
that write_pen_release() is cargo-cult copied and should not be
copied any further. Rename write_pen_release() in a similar fashion
as well.

Thanks.
These patches aren't all build tested - I don't see the point of wasting
hours build testing when these platforms /really/ need something better.
This is not supposed to be a finished patch, but a patch to get folk
to do something about this issue.
Please fix this issue properly. I can't give you a patch to do that,
you need to sort it yourself, but failure to do anything _will_ result
in an updated version of this patch being merged.

Ah okay.

I was expecting it to be build tested at least, to be honest. But anyway, we
will see build failures from bots if any such cases exist.

Yeah, I know. I have seen the thread and it was lack of knowledge in the
beginning which made us copy code from rest of ARM platforms. That was stupid
and there can't be any excuse for that.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to hardware to test this stuff and so
wouldn't be possible to send a patch as well.
Lets get your patch merged at least.

Since almost no one has responded, my intention is to queue up
patches 1-3,5-8 for the Christmas-time merge window through my
tree. They will be in linux-next tonight.

AFAIU, the patch 9 (or entire patchset) was not build tested, did not
compile and therefore was not in linux-next. Sending something, which
was not building, to linux-next just few days before Christmas merge
window makes the schedule really tight. Especially that during
Christmas some people might be offline.
I think it should sit in linux-next for few weeks... it should sit
there already so the auto-testers would try it. At least if it were in
linux-next, the booting and few simple tests were already done, e.g.
by my boards, without any additional effort.
So please give it a time after putting it into next.
Best regards,
Krzysztof

If you're only testing linux-next, then you have a hole in your test
regime.

As I've said, I'm omitting patches 4 and 9. Patch 9 is the troublesome
patch and can't be merged anyway since patch 4 is going via the STi
maintainer along with other changes. The remainder of the patch set
are all specific to individual platforms, some of which have been
acked, but most platform maintainers have not responded in _any_ way.
You are aware that the autobuilders do build patches sent to the
mailing list, and then we have kernelci which builds my tree, builds
linux-next etc. There's multiple stages of build test that such
stuff goes through.
Lastly, linux-next is not a general test tree, it is for integration
testing of code destined for the _NEXT_ merge window. The clue is
in the name. It is not for code destined for the following merge
window - only code for _this_ merge window should be in linux-next.
