commit 3631073659d0aafeaa52227bb61a100efaf901dc upstream.

ARM64 irq work self-IPI support depends on __smp_cross_call to point to
some relevant IRQ controller operations. This information should be
available after the call to init_IRQ().

Lets implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() accordingly.

 "Nicolas Pitre added generic tracepoints for tracing IPIs and updated
  the arm and arm64 architectures.  It required some minor updates to

The strings used to list IPIs in /proc/interrupts are reused for tracing
purposes.

While at it, the code is slightly cleaned up so the ipi_types array
indices are no longer offset by IPI_RESCHEDULE whose value is 0 anyway.

<id>urn:sha1:df857416a13734ed9356f6e4f0152d55e4fb748a</id>
<content type='text'>
Several kernel subsystems need to know details about CPU system register
values, sometimes for CPUs other than that they are executing on. Rather
than hard-coding system register accesses and cross-calls for these
cases, this patch adds logic to record various system register values at
boot-time. This may be used for feature reporting, firmware bug
detection, etc.

Separate hooks are added for the boot and hotplug paths to enable
one-time intialisation and cold/warm boot value mismatch detection in
later patches.

Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from
arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ).

This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1.

commit bf18525fd793101df42a1344ecc48b49b62e48c9
Author: Stephen Boyd &lt;sboyd@codeaurora.org&gt;
Date:   Tue Oct 29 20:32:56 2013 +0100

    ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs

    By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see
    irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full
    NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and
    if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we
    have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via
    self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again.
    Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on
    SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only
    supported on SMP builds anyway.

<content type='text'>
PSCIv0.2 adds a new function called AFFINITY_INFO, which
can be used to query if a specified CPU has actually gone
offline. Calling this function via cpu_kill ensures that
a CPU has quiesced after a call to cpu_die. This helps
prevent the CPU from doing arbitrary bad things when data
or instructions are clobbered (as happens with kexec)
in the window between a CPU announcing that it is dead
and said CPU leaving the kernel.

<title>arm64: topology: Implement basic CPU topology support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6e763b93a6cd3411fd8df925344022719bcba62</id>
<content type='text'>
Add basic CPU topology support to arm64, based on the existing pre-v8
code and some work done by Mark Hambleton.  This patch does not
implement any topology discovery support since that should be based on
information from firmware, it merely implements the scaffolding for
integration of topology support in the architecture.

No locking of the topology data is done since it is only modified during
CPU bringup with external serialisation from the SMP code.

The goal is to separate the architecture hookup for providing topology
information from the DT parsing in order to ease review and avoid
blocking the architecture code (which will be built on by other work)
with the DT code review by providing something simple and basic.

Following patches will implement support for interpreting topology
information from MPIDR and for parsing the DT topology bindings for ARM,
similar patches will be needed for ACPI.

processor debug state PSTATE.D is unmasked in smp call
clear_os_lock for secondary cpus. So debug state is still
masked in normal kernel context.  With this patch, unmask
debug state on secondary boot for the cpus in normal kernel
context. Now kgdb tests passed with multicore.

So any FIQ handling is superfluous at the moment.  The functions to
disable/enable FIQs is kept around if ever someone needs them in the
future, but existing calling sites including arch_cpu_idle_prepare()
may go for now.
