This is a boot stub that is similar to the code u-boot runs, allowing
the kernel to boot the secondary CPU.

u-boot works as follows:

 1. Initialises the SMP mailbox area in the SCU at 0x1e6e2180 with default values

 2. Copies a stub named 'mailbox_insn' from flash to the SCU, just above the
    mailbox area

 3. Sets AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_READY to a magic value to indicate the
    secondary can begin execution from the stub

 4. The stub waits until the AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_GOSIGN register is set to
    a magic value

 5. Jumps to the address in AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_ENTRY, starting Linux

Linux indicates it is ready by writing the address of its entrypoint
function to AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_ENTRY and the 'go' magic number to
AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_GOSIGN. The secondary CPU sees this at step 4 and
breaks out of it's loop.

To be compatible, a fixed qemu stub is loaded into the mailbox area. As
qemu can ensure the stub is loaded before execution starts, we do not
need to emulate the AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_READY behaviour of u-boot. The
secondary CPU's program counter points to the beginning of the stub,
allowing qemu to start secondaries at step four.

Reboot behaviour is preserved by resetting AST_SMP_MBOX_FIELD_GOSIGN
when the secondaries are reset.

This is only configured when the system is booted with -kernel and qemu
does not execute u-boot first.

I was wrong, wfi does not work in this case. I must have made a
mistake when testing.

Cédric, can you please confirm my testing is correct? I was using
today's linux next, but anything newer than Linux 5.4 should have the
same result.

Peter, can you please take v2 of this patch set instead of v3?

If you've already added it to you queue I can send a follow up to fix it.

Cheers,

Joel

Indeed, with OpenBMC kernel v5.4.32-260-g7dc9442bbe7d and wfi (patch v3), 
    
    [    0.045214] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
    [    1.178127] CPU1: failed to come online
    [    1.187309] smp: Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU

    [    1.187786] CPU: All CPU(s) started in HYP mode.
    [    1.187850] CPU: Virtualization extensions available.

When using wfe (patch v2),

    [    0.091092] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
    [    0.096628] smp: Brought up 1 node, 2 CPUs

    [    0.096768] CPU: All CPU(s) started in HYP mode.

OK, I've applied patch v2 to target-arm.next.

v3 looked a bit odd anyway -- a wfi-based secondary loop generally
needs to prod the GIC to enable interrupts for the core before
going into its loop (compare the 32-bit smpboot[] code in hw/arm/boot.c).
But looking at the code in the kernel's arch/arm/mach-aspeed/platsmp.c,
it uses dsb_sev() to prod the secondary core, so only wfe will
work here. If you find that you are often in situations where the
secondary cores are not started and so QEMU is wasting host CPU
in this busy-loop, you could look at implementing a non-noop
wfe/sev in QEMU, though it's not completely trivial because of
all the things other than sev that are 'wfe wake-up events'.

thanks
