x86: mpspec: Allow platform to determine how PIRQ is connected to I/O APIC

2015-07-28T16:36:24Z

Currently during writing MP table I/O interrupt assignment entry, we assume the PIRQ is directly mapped to I/O APIC INTPIN#16-23, which however is not always the case on some platforms. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng Acked-by: Simon Glass

x86: Generate a valid MultiProcessor (MP) table

2015-07-15T00:03:17Z

Implement write_mp_table() to create a minimal working MP table. This includes an MP floating table, a configuration table header and all of the 5 base configuration table entries. The I/O interrupt assignment table entry is created based on the same information used in the creation of PIRQ routing table from device tree. A check duplicated entry logic is applied to prevent writing multiple I/O interrupt entries with the same information. Use a Kconfig option GENERATE_MP_TABLE to tell U-Boot whether we need actually write the MP table at the F seg, just like we did for PIRQ routing and SFI tables. With MP table existence, linux kernel will switch to I/O APIC and local APIC to process all the peripheral interrupts instead of 8259 PICs. This takes full advantage of the multicore hardware and the SMP kernel. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng Acked-by: Simon Glass

x86: Add MultiProcessor (MP) table APIs

2015-07-15T00:03:17Z

The MP table provides a way for the operating system to support for symmetric multiprocessing as well as symmetric I/O interrupt handling with the local APIC and I/O APIC. We provide a bunch of APIs for U-Boot to write the floating table, configuration table header as well as base and extended table entries. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng Acked-by: Simon Glass
