Subject: [RFC PATCH 00/10] Add Fujitsu A64FX soc entry/hardware barrier driver
Hello,
This series adds Fujitsu A64FX SoC entry in drivers/soc and hardware
barrier driver for it.
[Driver Description]
A64FX CPU has several functions for HPC workload and hardware barrier
is one of them. It is a mechanism to realize fast synchronization by
PEs belonging to the same L3 cache domain by using implementation
defined hardware registers.
For more details, see A64FX HPC extension specification in
https://github.com/fujitsu/A64FX
The driver mainly offers a set of ioctls to manipulate related registers.
Patch 1-9 implements driver code and patch 10 finally adds kconfig,
Makefile and MAINTAINER entry for the driver.
Also, C library and test program for this driver is available on:
https://github.com/fujitsu/hardware_barrier
The driver is based on v5.11-rc2 and tested on FX700 environment.
[RFC]
This is the first time we upstream drivers for our chip and I want to
confirm driver location and patch submission process.
Based on my observation it seems drivers/soc folder is right place to put
this driver, so I added Kconfig entry for arm64 platform config, created
soc/fujitsu folder and updated MAINTAINER entry accordingly (last patch).
Is it right?
Also for final submission I think I need to 1) create some public git
tree to push driver code (github or something), 2) make pull request to
SOC team (soc@kernel.org). Is it a correct procedure?
I will appreciate any help/comments.
sidenote: We plan to post other drivers for A64FX HPC extension
(prefetch control and cache control) too anytime soon.
