    ARM: kernel: implement stack pointer save array through MPIDR hashing · 7604537b
    Lorenzo Pieralisi 提交于
    Current implementation of cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} relies on the MPIDR
    to index the array of pointers where the context is saved and restored.
    The current approach works as long as the MPIDR can be considered a
    linear index, so that the pointers array can simply be dereferenced by
    using the MPIDR[7:0] value.
    On ARM multi-cluster systems, where the MPIDR may not be a linear index,
    to properly dereference the stack pointer array, a mapping function should
    be applied to it so that it can be used for arrays look-ups.
    
    This patch adds code in the cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} implementation
    that relies on shifting and ORing hashing method to map a MPIDR value to a
    set of buckets precomputed at boot to have a collision free mapping from
    MPIDR to context pointers.
    
    The hashing algorithm must be simple, fast, and implementable with few
    instructions since in the cpu_resume path the mapping is carried out with
    the MMU off and the I-cache off, hence code and data are fetched from DRAM
    with no-caching available. Simplicity is counterbalanced with a little
    increase of memory (allocated dynamically) for stack pointers buckets, that
    should be anyway fairly limited on most systems.
    
    Memory for context pointers is allocated in a early_initcall with
    size precomputed and stashed previously in kernel data structures.
    Memory for context pointers is allocated through kmalloc; this
    guarantees contiguous physical addresses for the allocated memory which
    is fundamental to the correct functioning of the resume mechanism that
    relies on the context pointer array to be a chunk of contiguous physical
    memory. Virtual to physical address conversion for the context pointer
    array base is carried out at boot to avoid fiddling with virt_to_phys
    conversions in the cpu_resume path which is quite fragile and should be
    optimized to execute as few instructions as possible.
    Virtual and physical context pointer base array addresses are stashed in a
    struct that is accessible from assembly using values generated through the
    asm-offsets.c mechanism.
