[PATCH v10 0/2] (arm-soc for v3.10) arm: introduce psci_smp_ops

[Stefano Stabellini]

Hi all,
this is the tenth version of the patch series to move virt_smp_ops out
of mach-virt and make it a generic set of reusable PSCI based smp_ops.
psci_smp_ops are preferred over the platform smp_ops.  The last patch
introduces smp_init.

Changes in v10:
- add include <linux/types.h> to mach/arch.h.

[PATCH v10 1/2] arm: introduce psci_smp_ops

[Stefano Stabellini]

Rename virt_smp_ops to psci_smp_ops and move them to arch/arm/kernel/psci_smp.c.
Remove mach-virt/platsmp.c, now unused.
Compile psci_smp if CONFIG_ARM_PSCI and CONFIG_SMP.

Add a cpu_die smp_op based on psci_ops.cpu_off.

Initialize PSCI before setting smp_ops in setup_arch.

If PSCI is available on the platform, prefer psci_smp_ops over the
platform smp_ops.

Changes in v9:
- move comment about PSCI interface from psci.h to psci_smp.c.

Changes in v8:
- merge "prefer psci_smp_ops over mdesc->smp" into this patch.

Changes in v6:
- fixed return values for psci_smp_available and psci_init ifndef
CONFIG_ARM_PSCI.

Changes in v5:
- document psci_operations;
- psci_init returns NULL.

[PATCH v10 2/2] ARM: Enable selection of SMP operations at boot time

[Stefano Stabellini]

From: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>

Add a new 'smp_init' hook to machine_desc so platforms can specify a
function to be used to setup smp ops instead of having a statically
defined value.  The hook must return true when smp_ops are initialized.
If false the static mdesc->smp_ops will be used by default.

Add the definition of "bool" by including the linux/types.h file to
asm/mach/arch.h and make it self-contained.

I thought that we agreed that the patches should go via the arm-soc
tree, after Russell acks them.

The ping is for Russell to ack them and Arnd to merge them.

Yes they have, because I temporarily added them to my branch in
linux-next.
In fact Stephen found and solved a merge conflict here:

Sorry but I tend not to be around on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which leads
to a hell of an email problem on Thursdays.  I haven't looked at them in
any great detail (I just paged through them so far and on to the next
email.)

I don't really have sufficient time to properly deal with all the email
traffic that is now on this list - even from just flicking through the
messages.  It's far too much.

No problems, if there is one person that can understand being flooded by
emails, that's me.

This patches have been discussed in great details, would you be content
with Will Deacon and Nicolas Pitre's Acks?
Nobody objected again them so far.

Okay, well, is there a reason for them to go through arm-soc?  They
look more like core code to me than SoC specific - they only minimally
touch mach-virt.

The original reason is that some SoC specific code depends on this
series (Calxeda I believe).

But you are probably right, if you prefer that I issue a pull request
for your tree, I have no problems with that.

The only issue that there is is where we are in the development cycle
(almost mid merge window), and I've yet to push anything to Linus thanks
to late discovery of various messups in other chunks of code submitted
via my tree - I'm starting to drop stuff from my tree in the hope that
I'll get back to something that's going to be suitable for mainline.

I really don't want to go pulling anything else at the moment in the
hope of getting what I currently have out the door.

And in any case, we shouldn't be adding any new code to our trees at
this point in time.

Agreed. I would have like to see the patches in 3.10, but the timing
didn't work out.

Stefano, I'm sure we can queue it up early for 3.11 if you send them
again after the merge window. Sorry you had to go through 10 versions
and not getting it merged in time in the end.

Yeah, sorry for being quiet on this; I've seen the patches go by but
also haven't looked closely at them since timing was pointing more
towards 3.11 material. 3.10 is already a very busy release for us on
arm-soc.

If there's SoC code that needs this as a base, we can do a shared
branch with Russell. That has worked well in the past -- he merges it
but we bring in a copy of the topic in our tree.

Yes, there will be. I've got highbank about ready to go.
