      arm64: kernel: add CPU idle call · b8824dfe
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

When CPU idle is enabled, the architectural idle call should go through
the idle subsystem to allow CPUs to enter idle states defined
by the platform CPU idle back-end operations.

This patch, mirroring other archs behaviour, adds the CPU idle call to the
architectural arch_cpu_idle implementation for arm64.

      arm64: enable generic clockevent broadcast · 1f85008e
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

On platforms with power management capabilities, timers that are shut
down when a CPU enters deep C-states must be emulated using an always-on
timer and a timer IPI to relay the timer IRQ to target CPUs on an SMP
system.

This patch enables the generic clockevents broadcast infrastructure for
arm64, by providing the required Kconfig entries and adding the timer
IPI infrastructure.

      arm64: kernel: implement HW breakpoints CPU PM notifier · 60fc6942
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

When a CPU is shutdown either through CPU idle or suspend to RAM, the
content of HW breakpoint registers must be reset or restored to proper
values when CPU resume from low power states. This patch adds debug register
restore operations to the HW breakpoint control function and implements a
CPU PM notifier that allows to restore the content of HW breakpoint registers
to allow proper suspend/resume operations.

Most of the code executed to install and uninstall breakpoints is
common and can be factored out in a function that through a runtime
operations type provides the requested implementation.

This patch creates a common function that can be used to install/uninstall
breakpoints and defines the set of operations that can be carried out
through it.

      arm64: kernel: implement fpsimd CPU PM notifier · fb1ab1ab
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

When a CPU enters a low power state, its FP register content is lost.
This patch adds a notifier to save the FP context on CPU shutdown
and restore it on CPU resume. The context is saved and restored only
if the suspending thread is not a kernel thread, mirroring the current
context switch behaviour.

      arm64: kernel: cpu_{suspend/resume} implementation · 95322526
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

Kernel subsystems like CPU idle and suspend to RAM require a generic
mechanism to suspend a processor, save its context and put it into
a quiescent state. The cpu_{suspend}/{resume} implementation provides
such a framework through a kernel interface allowing to save/restore
registers, flush the context to DRAM and suspend/resume to/from
low-power states where processor context may be lost.

The CPU suspend implementation relies on the suspend protocol registered
in CPU operations to carry out a suspend request after context is
saved and flushed to DRAM. The cpu_suspend interface:

int cpu_suspend(unsigned long arg);

allows to pass an opaque parameter that is handed over to the suspend CPU
operations back-end so that it can take action according to the
semantics attached to it. The arg parameter allows suspend to RAM and CPU
idle drivers to communicate to suspend protocol back-ends; it requires
standardization so that the interface can be reused seamlessly across
systems, paving the way for generic drivers.

Context memory is allocated on the stack, whose address is stashed in a
per-cpu variable to keep track of it and passed to core functions that
save/restore the registers required by the architecture.

Even though, upon successful execution, the cpu_suspend function shuts
down the suspending processor, the warm boot resume mechanism, based
on the cpu_resume function, makes the resume path operate as a
cpu_suspend function return, so that cpu_suspend can be treated as a C
function by the caller, which simplifies coding the PM drivers that rely
on the cpu_suspend API.

Upon context save, the minimal amount of memory is flushed to DRAM so
that it can be retrieved when the MMU is off and caches are not searched.

The suspend CPU operation, depending on the required operations (eg CPU vs
Cluster shutdown) is in charge of flushing the cache hierarchy either
implicitly (by calling firmware implementations like PSCI) or explicitly
by executing the required cache maintainance functions.

Debug exceptions are disabled during cpu_{suspend}/{resume} operations
so that debug registers can be saved and restored properly preventing
preemption from debug agents enabled in the kernel.

      arm64: kernel: suspend/resume registers save/restore · 6732bc65
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

Power management software requires the kernel to save and restore
CPU registers while going through suspend and resume operations
triggered by kernel subsystems like CPU idle and suspend to RAM.

This patch implements code that provides save and restore mechanism
for the arm v8 implementation. Memory for the context is passed as
parameter to both cpu_do_suspend and cpu_do_resume functions, and allows
the callers to implement context allocation as they deem fit.

The registers that are saved and restored correspond to the registers set
actually required by the kernel to be up and running which represents a
subset of v8 ISA.

      arm64: kernel: build MPIDR_EL1 hash function data structure · 976d7d3f
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      

On ARM64 SMP systems, cores are identified by their MPIDR_EL1 register.
The MPIDR_EL1 guidelines in the ARM ARM do not provide strict enforcement of
MPIDR_EL1 layout, only recommendations that, if followed, split the MPIDR_EL1
on ARM 64 bit platforms in four affinity levels. In multi-cluster
systems like big.LITTLE, if the affinity guidelines are followed, the
MPIDR_EL1 can not be considered a linear index. This means that the
association between logical CPU in the kernel and the HW CPU identifier
becomes somewhat more complicated requiring methods like hashing to
associate a given MPIDR_EL1 to a CPU logical index, in order for the look-up
to be carried out in an efficient and scalable way.

This patch provides a function in the kernel that starting from the
cpu_logical_map, implement collision-free hashing of MPIDR_EL1 values by
checking all significative bits of MPIDR_EL1 affinity level bitfields.
The hashing can then be carried out through bits shifting and ORing; the
resulting hash algorithm is a collision-free though not minimal hash that can
be executed with few assembly instructions. The mpidr_el1 is filtered through a
mpidr mask that is built by checking all bits that toggle in the set of
MPIDR_EL1s corresponding to possible CPUs. Bits that do not toggle do not
carry information so they do not contribute to the resulting hash.

Pseudo code:

/* check all bits that toggle, so they are required */
for (i = 1, mpidr_el1_mask = 0; i < num_possible_cpus(); i++)
	mpidr_el1_mask |= (cpu_logical_map(i) ^ cpu_logical_map(0));

/*
 * Build shifts to be applied to aff0, aff1, aff2, aff3 values to hash the
 * mpidr_el1
 * fls() returns the last bit set in a word, 0 if none
 * ffs() returns the first bit set in a word, 0 if none
 */
fs0 = mpidr_el1_mask[7:0] ? ffs(mpidr_el1_mask[7:0]) - 1 : 0;
fs1 = mpidr_el1_mask[15:8] ? ffs(mpidr_el1_mask[15:8]) - 1 : 0;
fs2 = mpidr_el1_mask[23:16] ? ffs(mpidr_el1_mask[23:16]) - 1 : 0;
fs3 = mpidr_el1_mask[39:32] ? ffs(mpidr_el1_mask[39:32]) - 1 : 0;
ls0 = fls(mpidr_el1_mask[7:0]);
ls1 = fls(mpidr_el1_mask[15:8]);
ls2 = fls(mpidr_el1_mask[23:16]);
ls3 = fls(mpidr_el1_mask[39:32]);
bits0 = ls0 - fs0;
bits1 = ls1 - fs1;
bits2 = ls2 - fs2;
bits3 = ls3 - fs3;
aff0_shift = fs0;
aff1_shift = 8 + fs1 - bits0;
aff2_shift = 16 + fs2 - (bits0 + bits1);
aff3_shift = 32 + fs3 - (bits0 + bits1 + bits2);
u32 hash(u64 mpidr_el1) {
	u32 l[4];
	u64 mpidr_el1_masked = mpidr_el1 & mpidr_el1_mask;
	l[0] = mpidr_el1_masked & 0xff;
	l[1] = mpidr_el1_masked & 0xff00;
	l[2] = mpidr_el1_masked & 0xff0000;
	l[3] = mpidr_el1_masked & 0xff00000000;
	return (l[0] >> aff0_shift | l[1] >> aff1_shift | l[2] >> aff2_shift |
		l[3] >> aff3_shift);
}

The hashing algorithm relies on the inherent properties set in the ARM ARM
recommendations for the MPIDR_EL1. Exotic configurations, where for instance
the MPIDR_EL1 values at a given affinity level have large holes, can end up
requiring big hash tables since the compression of values that can be achieved
through shifting is somewhat crippled when holes are present. Kernel warns if
the number of buckets of the resulting hash table exceeds the number of
possible CPUs by a factor of 4, which is a symptom of a very sparse HW
MPIDR_EL1 configuration.

The hash algorithm is quite simple and can easily be implemented in assembly
code, to be used in code paths where the kernel virtual address space is
not set-up (ie cpu_resume) and instruction and data fetches are strongly
ordered so code must be compact and must carry out few data accesses.
