      remoteproc: remove unused resource type · 2fd51811
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      RSC_VIRTIO_CFG isn't being used, so remove it.
      
      Originally it was introduced to overcome a resource table limitation
      that prevented describing a virtio device in a single resource table
      entry.
      
      The plan though is to describe resource table entries in a TLV fashion,
      where each entry will consume the amount of space it requires,
      so the original limitation is anyway temporary.

      rpmsg: add virtio-based remote processor messaging bus · bcabbcca
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables
      kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote
      processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol.
      
      Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send
      and receive the messages over shared memory.
      
      The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst
      addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on
      the same vring.
      
      Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added,
      and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned
      a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback.
      
      When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver,
      its callback is invoked by the bus.
      
      This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces
      will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus.

      remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors · 400e64df
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
      application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
      multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
      of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
      
      Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
      - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
      - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
      - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
      - Powering on the device
      
      This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
      that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
      management and error recovery.
