+/* + * Setting up multiprocessing + * + * See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-boot-loade... + * + * Note that this file refers to the boot CPU (the one U-Boot is running on) as + * the BSP (BootStrap Processor) and the others as APs (Application Processors). + * + * This module works by loading some setup code into RAM at AP_DEFAULT_BASE and + * telling each AP to execute it. The code that each AP runs is in + * sipi_vector.S (see ap_start16) which includes a struct sipi_params at the + * end of it. Those parameters are set up by the C code. + + * Setting up is handled by load_sipi_vector(). It inits the common block of + * parameters (sipi_params) which tell the APs what to do. This block includes + * microcode and the MTTRs (Memory-Type-Range Registers) from the main CPU. + * There is also an ap_count which each AP increments as it starts up, so the + * BSP can tell how many checked in. + * + * The APs are started with a SIPI (Startup Inter-Processor Interrupt) which + * tells an AP to start executing at a particular address, in this case + * AP_DEFAULT_BASE which contains the code copied from ap_start16. This protocol + * is handled by start_aps(). + * + * After being started, each AP runs the code in ap_start16, switches to 32-bit + * mode, runs the code at ap_start, then jumps to c_handler which is ap_init(). + * This runs a very simple 'flight plan' described in mp_steps(). This sets up + * the CPU and waits for further instructions by looking at its entry in + * ap_callbacks[]. Note that the flight plan is only actually run for each CPU + * in bsp_do_flight_plan(): once the BSP completes each flight record, it sets + * mp_flight_record->barrier to 1 to allow the APs to executed the record one + * by one. + * + * CPUS are numbered sequentially from 0 using the device tree: + * + * cpus { + * u-boot,dm-pre-reloc; + * #address-cells = <1>; + * #size-cells = <0>; + * + * cpu@0 { + * u-boot,dm-pre-reloc; + * device_type = "cpu"; + * compatible = "intel,apl-cpu"; + * reg = <0>; + * intel,apic-id = <0>; + * }; + * + * cpu@1 { + * device_type = "cpu"; + * compatible = "intel,apl-cpu"; + * reg = <1>; + * intel,apic-id = <2>; + * }; + * + * Here the 'reg' property is the CPU number and then is placed in dev->req_seq + * so that we can index into ap_callbacks[] using that. The APIC ID is different + * and may not be sequential (it typically is if hyperthreading is supported). + * + * Once APs are inited they wait in ap_wait_for_instruction() for instructions. + * Instructions come in the form of a function to run. This logic is in + * mp_run_on_cpus() which supports running on any one AP, all APs, just the BSP + * or all CPUs. The BSP logic is handled directly in mp_run_on_cpus(), by + * calling the function. For the APs, callback information is stored in a + * single, common struct mp_callback and a pointer to this is written to each + * AP's slot in ap_callbacks[] by run_ap_work(). All APs get the message even + * if it is only for one of them. When an AP notices a message it checks whether + * it should call the function (see check in ap_wait_for_instruction()) and then + * does so if needed. After that it sets its slot to NULL to indicate it is + * done. + * + * While U-Boot is running it can use mp_run_on_cpus() to run code on the APs. + * An example of this is the 'mtrr' command which allows reading and changing + * the MTRRs on all CPUs. + * + * Before U-Boot exits it calls mp_park_aps() which tells all CPUs to halt by + * executing a 'hlt' instruction. That allows them to be used by Linux when it + * starts up. + */ + /* This also needs to match the sipi.S assembly code for saved MSR encoding */ -struct saved_msr { +struct __packed saved_msr { uint32_t index; uint32_t lo; uint32_t hi; -} __packed; +};
