Interface for registering and calling firmware-specific operations for ARM. ---- Written by Tomasz Figa <t.figa@samsung.com> Some boards are running with secure firmware running in TrustZone secure world, which changes the way some things have to be initialized. This makes a need to provide an interface for such platforms to specify available firmware operations and call them when needed. Firmware operations can be specified using struct firmware_ops struct firmware_ops { /* * Enters CPU idle mode */ int (*do_idle)(void); /* * Sets boot address of specified physical CPU */ int (*set_cpu_boot_addr)(int cpu, unsigned long boot_addr); /* * Boots specified physical CPU */ int (*cpu_boot)(int cpu); /* * Initializes L2 cache */ int (*l2x0_init)(void); }; and then registered with register_firmware_ops function void register_firmware_ops(const struct firmware_ops *ops) the ops pointer must be non-NULL. There is a default, empty set of operations provided, so there is no need to set anything if platform does not require firmware operations. To call a firmware operation, a helper macro is provided #define call_firmware_op(op, ...) \ ((firmware_ops->op) ? firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS__) : (-ENOSYS)) the macro checks if the operation is provided and calls it or otherwise returns -ENOSYS to signal that given operation is not available (for example, to allow fallback to legacy operation). Example of registering firmware operations: /* board file */ static int platformX_do_idle(void) { /* tell platformX firmware to enter idle */ return 0; } static int platformX_cpu_boot(int i) { /* tell platformX firmware to boot CPU i */ return 0; } static const struct firmware_ops platformX_firmware_ops = { .do_idle = exynos_do_idle, .cpu_boot = exynos_cpu_boot, /* other operations not available on platformX */ }; /* init_early callback of machine descriptor */ static void __init board_init_early(void) { register_firmware_ops(&platformX_firmware_ops); } Example of using a firmware operation: /* some platform code, e.g. SMP initialization */ __raw_writel(virt_to_phys(exynos4_secondary_startup), CPU1_BOOT_REG); /* Call Exynos specific smc call */ if (call_firmware_op(cpu_boot, cpu) == -ENOSYS) cpu_boot_legacy(...); /* Try legacy way */ gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1);
