HW:SMP spin up

SMP spin-up

From the ADT:

• /arm-io/pmgr[reg] power manager registers
  • CPU start block at + 0x54000
• /cpus/cpu<n>[cpu-impl-reg] CPU implementation registers

CPU start registers in PMGR:

54004: System-wide CPU core startup/active bitmask
54008: Cluster 0 (e) CPU core startup
5400c: Cluster 1 (p) CPU core startup

Startup sequence

• Write start address to RVBAR at cpu-impl-reg + 0x00
  • This is locked for cpu0 by iBoot, other CPUs are free to change
• Set (1 << cpu) in pmgr[54004]
  • This seems to be some kind of system-wide "core alive" signal. It is not required for the core to spin up, but without it AIC interrupts won't work, and probably other things.
• Set (1 << core) in pgr[54008 + 4*cluster] (that's core from 0-3, cluster 0-1)
  • This starts up the core itself.

Core starts up at RVBAR. Chicken bits / etc must be applied as usual.
