2017-02-06x86: Update mpspec to build on 64-bit machinesSimon Glass
At present this uses u32 to store an address. We should use unsigned long and avoid special types in function return values and parameters unless necessary. This makes the code more portable. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
2017-02-06x86: Use unsigned long for address in table generationSimon Glass
We should use unsigned long rather than u32 for addresses. Update this so that the table-generation code builds correctly on 64-bit machines. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
2015-07-28x86: mpspec: Allow platform to determine how PIRQ is connected to I/O APICBin Meng
Currently during writing MP table I/O interrupt assignment entry, we assume the PIRQ is directly mapped to I/O APIC INTPIN#16-23, which however is not always the case on some platforms. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-07-15x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) tableBin Meng
Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table. This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt assignment table entry is created based on the same information used in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O interrupt entries with the same information. Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the multicore hardware and the SMP kernel. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2015-07-15x86: Add MultiProcessor (MP) table APIsBin Meng
The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table header as well as base and extended table entries.
