[PATCH v6 4/6] xen/cpupool: Create different cpupools at boot time



Introduce a way to create different cpupools at boot time, this is
particularly useful on ARM big.LITTLE system where there might be the
need to have different cpupools for each type of core, but also
systems using NUMA can have different cpu pools for each node.

The feature on arm relies on a specification of the cpupools from the
device tree to build pools and assign cpus to them.

ACPI is not supported for this feature.

Documentation is created to explain the feature.

Changes in v6:
- Changed docs, return if booted with ACPI in btcpupools_dtb_parse,
  panic if /chosen does not exists. Changed commit message (Julien)
- Add Juergen R-by for the xen/common/sched part that didn't change
Changes in v5:
- Fixed wrong variable name, swapped schedulers, add scheduler info
  in the printk (Stefano)
- introduce assert in cpupool_init and btcpupools_get_cpupool_id to
  harden the code
Changes in v4:
- modify Makefile to put in *.init.o, fixed stubs and macro (Jan)
- fixed docs, fix brakets (Stefano)
- keep cpu0 in Pool-0 (Julien)
- moved printk from btcpupools_allocate_pools to
  btcpupools_get_cpupool_id
- Add to docs constraint about cpu0 and Pool-0
Changes in v3:
- Add newline to cpupools.txt and removed "default n" from Kconfig (Jan)
- Fixed comment, moved defines, used global cpu_online_map, use
  HAS_DEVICE_TREE instead of ARM and place arch specific code in header
  (Juergen)
- Fix brakets, x86 code only panic, get rid of scheduler dt node, don't
  save pool pointer and look for it from the pool list (Stefano)
- Changed data structures to allow modification to the code.
Changes in v2:
- Move feature to common code (Juergen)
- Try to decouple dtb parse and cpupool creation to allow
  more way to specify cpupools (for example command line)
- Created standalone dt node for the scheduler so it can
  be used in future work to set scheduler specific
  parameters
- Use only auto generated ids for cpupools

+Boot time cpupools
+==================
+
+When BOOT_TIME_CPUPOOLS is enabled in the Xen configuration, it is possible to
+create cpupools during boot phase by specifying them in the device tree.
+ACPI is not supported for this feature.
+
+Cpupools specification nodes shall be direct childs of /chosen node.
+Each cpupool node contains the following properties:
+
+- compatible (mandatory)
+
+    Must always include the compatiblity string: "xen,cpupool".
+
+- cpupool-cpus (mandatory)
+
+    Must be a list of device tree phandle to nodes describing cpus (e.g. having
+    device_type = "cpu"), it can't be empty.
+
+- cpupool-sched (optional)
+
+    Must be a string having the name of a Xen scheduler. Check the sched=<...>
+    boot argument for allowed values [1]. When this property is omitted, the 
Xen
+    default scheduler will be used.
+
+
+Constraints
+===========
+
+If no cpupools are specified, all cpus will be assigned to one cpupool
+implicitly created (Pool-0).
+
+If cpupools node are specified, but not every cpu brought up by Xen is 
assigned,
+all the not assigned cpu will be assigned to an additional cpupool.
+
+If a cpu is assigned to a cpupool, but it's not brought up correctly, Xen will
+stop.
+
+The boot cpu must be assigned to Pool-0, so the cpupool containing that core
+will become Pool-0 automatically.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+
+A system having two types of core, the following device tree specification will
+instruct Xen to have two cpupools:
+
+- The cpupool with id 0 will have 4 cpus assigned.
+- The cpupool with id 1 will have 2 cpus assigned.
+
+The following example can work only if hmp-unsafe=1 is passed to Xen boot
+arguments, otherwise not all cores will be brought up by Xen and the cpupool
+creation process will stop Xen.
+
+
+a72_1: cpu@0 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a72";
+        reg = <0x0 0x0>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+a72_2: cpu@1 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a72";
+        reg = <0x0 0x1>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+a53_1: cpu@100 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a53";
+        reg = <0x0 0x100>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+a53_2: cpu@101 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a53";
+        reg = <0x0 0x101>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+a53_3: cpu@102 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a53";
+        reg = <0x0 0x102>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+a53_4: cpu@103 {
+        compatible = "arm,cortex-a53";
+        reg = <0x0 0x103>;
+        device_type = "cpu";
+        [...]
+};
+
+chosen {
+
+    cpupool_a {
+        compatible = "xen,cpupool";
+        cpupool-cpus = <&a53_1 &a53_2 &a53_3 &a53_4>;
+    };
+    cpupool_b {
+        compatible = "xen,cpupool";
+        cpupool-cpus = <&a72_1 &a72_2>;
+        cpupool-sched = "credit2";
+    };
+
+    [...]
+
+};
+
+
+A system having the cpupools specification below will instruct Xen to have 
three
+cpupools:
+
+- The cpupool Pool-0 will have 2 cpus assigned.
+- The cpupool Pool-1 will have 2 cpus assigned.
+- The cpupool Pool-2 will have 2 cpus assigned (created by Xen with all the not
+  assigned cpus a53_3 and a53_4).
+
+chosen {
+
+    cpupool_a {
+        compatible = "xen,cpupool";
+        cpupool-cpus = <&a53_1 &a53_2>;
+    };

+        compatible = "xen,cpupool";
+        cpupool-cpus = <&a72_1 &a72_2>;
+        cpupool-sched = "null";
+    };
