Krzysztof Kozlowski 97d5c7a77e Documentation: EXYNOS: Update bootloader interface on exynos542x
Update the documentation about:
1. Usage of PMU_SPARE2 register.
   Bootloaders on Exynos542x-based boards often use the register
   PMU_SPARE2 (0x908) in the same way as on Exynos3250: as a indicator
   the secondary CPU was booted on. The bootloader will set this value
   to non-zero, after sucessfull power up of secondary CPU. In the same
   time this booted CPU will stuck (spin) waiting for software reset.
2. Exynos542x entry address for secondary CPU boot up after system
   suspend (with MCPM enabled and in non-secure mode).

See arch/arm/mach-exynos/mcpm-exynos.c for source code.

Interface between kernel and boot loaders on Exynos boards
==========================================================
Author: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date : 6 June 2015
The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
for information purpose only.
In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
executing kernel.
1. Non-Secure mode
Address: sysram_ns_base_addr
Offset Value Purpose
=============================================================================
0x08 exynos_cpu_resume_ns, mcpm_entry_point System suspend
0x0c 0x00000bad (Magic cookie) System suspend
0x1c exynos4_secondary_startup Secondary CPU boot
0x1c + 4*cpu exynos4_secondary_startup (Exynos4412) Secondary CPU boot
0x20 0xfcba0d10 (Magic cookie) AFTR
0x24 exynos_cpu_resume_ns AFTR
0x28 + 4*cpu 0x8 (Magic cookie, Exynos3250) AFTR
2. Secure mode
Address: sysram_base_addr
Offset Value Purpose
=============================================================================
0x00 exynos4_secondary_startup Secondary CPU boot
0x04 exynos4_secondary_startup (Exynos542x) Secondary CPU boot
4*cpu exynos4_secondary_startup (Exynos4412) Secondary CPU boot
0x20 exynos_cpu_resume (Exynos4210 r1.0) AFTR
0x24 0xfcba0d10 (Magic cookie, Exynos4210 r1.0) AFTR
Address: pmu_base_addr
Offset Value Purpose
=============================================================================
0x0800 exynos_cpu_resume AFTR, suspend
0x0800 mcpm_entry_point (Exynos542x with MCPM) AFTR, suspend
0x0804 0xfcba0d10 (Magic cookie) AFTR
0x0804 0x00000bad (Magic cookie) System suspend
0x0814 exynos4_secondary_startup (Exynos4210 r1.1) Secondary CPU boot
0x0818 0xfcba0d10 (Magic cookie, Exynos4210 r1.1) AFTR
0x081C exynos_cpu_resume (Exynos4210 r1.1) AFTR
3. Other (regardless of secure/non-secure mode)
Address: pmu_base_addr
Offset Value Purpose
=============================================================================
0x0908 Non-zero Secondary CPU boot up indicator
on Exynos3250 and Exynos542x
4. Glossary
AFTR - ARM Off Top Running, a low power mode, Cortex cores and many other
modules are power gated, except the TOP modules
MCPM - Multi-Cluster Power Management
