========================================================================== Interface for registering and calling firmware-specific operations for ARM ========================================================================== Written by Tomasz Figa Some boards are running with secure firmware running in TrustZone secure world, which changes the way some things have to be initialized. This makes a need to provide an interface for such platforms to specify available firmware operations and call them when needed. Firmware operations can be specified by filling in a struct firmware_ops with appropriate callbacks and then registering it with register_firmware_ops() function:: void register_firmware_ops(const struct firmware_ops *ops) The ops pointer must be non-NULL. More information about struct firmware_ops and its members can be found in arch/arm/include/asm/firmware.h header. There is a default, empty set of operations provided, so there is no need to set anything if platform does not require firmware operations. To call a firmware operation, a helper macro is provided:: #define call_firmware_op(op, ...) \ ((firmware_ops->op) ? firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS__) : (-ENOSYS)) the macro checks if the operation is provided and calls it or otherwise returns -ENOSYS to signal that given operation is not available (for example, to allow fallback to legacy operation). Example of registering firmware operations:: /* board file */ static int platformX_do_idle(void) { /* tell platformX firmware to enter idle */ return 0; } static int platformX_cpu_boot(int i) { /* tell platformX firmware to boot CPU i */ return 0; } static const struct firmware_ops platformX_firmware_ops = { .do_idle = exynos_do_idle, .cpu_boot = exynos_cpu_boot, /* other operations not available on platformX */ }; /* init_early callback of machine descriptor */ static void __init board_init_early(void) { register_firmware_ops(&platformX_firmware_ops); } Example of using a firmware operation:: /* some platform code, e.g. SMP initialization */ __raw_writel(__pa_symbol(exynos4_secondary_startup), CPU1_BOOT_REG); /* Call Exynos specific smc call */ if (call_firmware_op(cpu_boot, cpu) == -ENOSYS) cpu_boot_legacy(...); /* Try legacy way */ gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1);
