RISC-V: Support cpu hotplug
This patch enable support for cpu hotplug in RISC-V. It uses SBI HSM extension to online/offline any hart. As a result, the harts are returned to firmware once they are offline. If the harts are brought online afterwards, they re-enter Linux kernel as if a secondary hart booted for the first time. All booting requirements are honored during this process. Tested both on QEMU and HighFive Unleashed board with. Test result follows. --------------------------------------------------- Offline cpu 2 --------------------------------------------------- $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online [ 32.828684] CPU2: off $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 hart : 0 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 1 hart : 1 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 3 hart : 3 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 4 hart : 4 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 5 hart : 5 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 6 hart : 6 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 7 hart : 7 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 --------------------------------------------------- online cpu 2 --------------------------------------------------- $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 hart : 0 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 1 hart : 1 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 2 hart : 2 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 3 hart : 3 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 4 hart : 4 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 5 hart : 5 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 6 hart : 6 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 processor : 7 hart : 7 isa : rv64imafdcsu mmu : sv48 Signed-off-by: Atish Patra <atish.patra@wdc.com> Reviewed-by: Anup Patel <anup@brainfault.org>
