2013-12-23ARC: [SMP] IPI ACK interface doesn't need "self" cpu-idVineet Gupta
The interface is confusing, it feels like we are getting "sender" info, whereas it is the "receiver", which can very well be retrived by smp_processor_id(), if need be. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-12-23ARC: [SMP] cpumask not needed in IPI send pathVineet Gupta
The current IPI sending callstack needlessly involves cpumask. arch_send_call_function_single_ipi(cpu) / smp_send_reschedule(cpu) ipi_send_msg(cpumask_of(cpu)) --> [cpu to cpumask] plat_smp_ops.ipi_send(callmap) for_each_cpu(callmap) --> [cpuask to cpu] do_plat_specific_ipi_PER_CPU Given that current backends are not capable of 1:N IPIs, lets simplify the interface for now, by keeping "a" cpu all along.

2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #8: platform registers SMP callbacksVineet Gupta
Platforms export their SMP callbacks by populating arc_smp_ops. The population itself needs to be done pretty early, from init_early callback. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #4: Isolate platform headersVineet Gupta
-Top level ARC makefile removes -I for platform headers -asm/irq.h no longer includes plat/irq.h -platform makefile adds -I for it's specfic platform headers -platform code to directly include it's plat/irq.h -Linker script needed plat/memmap.h for CCM info, already in .config Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #3: switch to board callbackVineet Gupta
-platform API is retired and instead callbacks are used Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2013-02-15ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta
ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
