From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland) Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 23:11:14 +0100 Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] arm64: initial CPU_HOTPLUG support Message-ID: <1373494279-24712-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The following patches add basic CPU_HOTPLUG support to arm64, which combined with appropriate firmware (e.g. [1]) can be used to power CPUs up and down dynamically. From discussions at connect it seemed that several people were interested in working in this area, so I thought I'd make my current implementation public now that I've managed to regain access to my inbox. I've tested this series with the bootwrapper PSCI implementation I've placed on linux-arm.org [1] and a modified foundation model dts with a psci node and each CPU's enable-method set to "psci", using a shell while repeatedly cycling all cpus off and on: for C in $(seq 0 3); do ./cyclichotplug.sh $C >/dev/null 2>&1 & done ---->8---- #!/bin/sh # cyclichotplug.sh CPU=$1; if [ -z "$CPU" ]; then printf "Usage: $0 \n"; exit 1; fi ONLINEFILE=/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$CPU/online; while true; do echo 0 > $ONLINEFILE; echo 1 > $ONLINEFILE; done ---->8---- Patches are based on v3.10. Thanks, Mark.
