linux.git/arch/riscv/kernel/cpu_ops_spinwait.c, branch v5.17 Linux kernel source tree RISC-V: Use __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer only for spinwait method 2022-01-20T17:27:08+00:00 Atish Patra atishp@rivosinc.com 2022-01-20T09:09:15+00:00 c78f94f35cf6486c4057317e8de3ddc4c62e12c7 The __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer array is only used for spinwait method now. The per cpu array based lookup is also fragile for platforms with discontiguous/sparse hartids. The spinwait method is only used for M-mode Linux or older firmwares without SBI HSM extension. For general Linux systems, ordered booting method is preferred anyways to support cpu hotplug and kexec. Make sure that __cpu_up_stack/task_pointer is only used for spinwait method. Take this opportunity to rename it to __cpu_spinwait_stack/task_pointer to emphasize the purpose as well.

RISC-V: Add cpu_ops and modify default booting method 2020-03-31T18:25:56+00:00 Atish Patra atish.patra@wdc.com 2020-03-18T01:11:40+00:00 2875fe0561569f82d0e63658ccf0d11ce7da8922 Currently, all non-booting harts start booting after the booting hart updates the per-hart stack pointer. This is done in a way that, it's difficult to implement any other booting method without breaking the backward compatibility. Define a cpu_ops method that allows to introduce other booting methods in future. Modify the current booting method to be compatible with cpu_ops.
