Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform
doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die
op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU
and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this
stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file
doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to
hotplug the CPU.

We re-purpose the cpu_disable smp op here and rename it to
cpu_can_disable because all users use the op to indicate if a CPU
can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion.  With PSCI we may
need to reintroduce the cpu_disable op so that the secure OS can
be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug. We'll need to
indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable in that case but this
shouldn't be any worse than something like x86 where we indicate
that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally we can't offline
a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable().

Its not clear to me why r8a7779_cpu_disable() has been

By default ARM's smp.c assumes that CPU0 can't be hotplugged. The
function is redundant. I guess I should have mentioned that in the
commit text.

Thanks for your efforts. Can you please tell me where that limitation
is located? I'm quite sure I've brought CPU cores up and down
including CPU0, but maybe something is missing?

The assumption is made if there isn't a cpu_disable (now
cpu_can_disable) op. See platform_cpu_disable() in
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c. If there isn't such a limitation on a particular
platform, the platform needs to set the cpu_disable/cpu_can_disable op
and indicate that there isn't a limitation (by returning 1 for example).

Thanks, I now understand.

The mach-shmobile bits look fine to me, but if I could pick freely
then I would prefer the changes to be broken out a bit more. For
instance, separate the r8a7779_cpu_disable() removal from the callback
renaming and the logic changes.

Also, based on the comment in mcpm_cpu_can_disable() it looks like the
PSCI hook may be executed once only with your change in place?
Hopefully PSCI is OK not being invoked for every CPU shutdown.

Cheers,

This is the default if you don't provide a cpu_disable function, so it
should be removed irrespective of this patch.

If you don't provide a cpu_disable function, by default only the non-boot
(iow, non-CPU0) CPUs can be hotplugged.

If you provide a cpu_disable function, it can instruct the system that
fewer or more CPUs can be hotplugged, including the boot CPU.  The system
will then restrict you to a minimum of any one CPU online.

This is why I've said (in the parent thread) that I'm not happy to
apply this patch.  Mark Rutland has indicated that he has MCPM cases
where the CPUs which can be disabled changes dynamically according
to the secure firmware requirements, and ripping out todays
infrastructure in light of that, only to have to add it back again
later makes no sense.

However, cleaning things up by removing unnecessary cpu_disable
methods is a good thing to do irrespective of that.

Thanks and agreed.

I'd be quite happy to take such a patch through my tree.

Putting it back is not hard. And the infrastructure is not currently
used for these purposes so renaming it is appropriate. I can leave it in
place if you like, i.e. make a new op for cpu_can_disable and repoint
mcpm's mcpm_cpu_disable() at it. Then when mcpm gets migrate support it
can actually implement a cpu_disable op.

That's fine I can split it out.

To clarify, PSCI and MCPM are unrelated. It was originally conceived
that MCPM would use PSCI as a backend, but it turns out that they're
effectively mutually exclusive, and are handled separately. I still want
to add support for MIGRATE in the PSCI client code, but this is
independent of MCPM.

In some cases it's possible to determine at boot time that a CPU cannot
be hotplugged (e.g. in PSCI if the TOS is non-migrateable), so having
separate hooks for determining that static and dynamic ability to
hotplug a CPU sounds reasonable to me.

Thanks,
Mark.
