ARM CPUs bindings
=================
The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
defining properties for every cpu.
Bindings for CPU nodes follow the ePAPR v1.1 standard, available from:
https://www.power.org/documentation/epapr-version-1-1/
with updates for 32-bit and 64-bit ARM systems provided in this document.
================================
Convention used in this document
================================
This document follows the conventions described in the ePAPR v1.1, with
the addition:
- square brackets define bitfields, eg reg[7:0] value of the bitfield in
the reg property contained in bits 7 down to 0
=====================================
cpus and cpu node bindings definition
=====================================
The ARM architecture, in accordance with the ePAPR, requires the cpus and cpu
nodes to be present and contain the properties described below.
- cpus node
Description: Container of cpu nodes
The node name must be "cpus".
A cpus node must define the following properties:
- #address-cells
Usage: required
Value type: <u32>
Definition depends on ARM architecture version and
configuration:
# On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
value must be 1, to enable a simple enumeration
scheme for processors that do not have a HW CPU
identification register.
# On 32-bit ARM 11 MPcore, ARM v7 or later systems
value must be 1, that corresponds to CPUID/MPIDR
registers sizes.
# On ARM v8 64-bit systems value should be set to 2,
that corresponds to the MPIDR_EL1 register size.
If MPIDR_EL1[63:32] value is equal to 0 on all CPUs
in the system, #address-cells can be set to 1, since
MPIDR_EL1[63:32] bits are not used for CPUs
identification.
- #size-cells
Usage: required
Value type: <u32>
Definition: must be set to 0
- cpu node
Description: Describes a CPU in an ARM based system
PROPERTIES
- device_type
Usage: required
Value type: <string>
Definition: must be "cpu"
- reg
Usage and definition depend on ARM architecture version and
configuration:
# On uniprocessor ARM architectures previous to v7
this property is required and must be set to 0.
# On ARM 11 MPcore based systems this property is
required and matches the CPUID[11:0] register bits.
Bits [11:0] in the reg cell must be set to
bits [11:0] in CPU ID register.
All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
# On 32-bit ARM v7 or later systems this property is
required and matches the CPU MPIDR[23:0] register
bits.
Bits [23:0] in the reg cell must be set to
bits [23:0] in MPIDR.
All other bits in the reg cell must be set to 0.
# On ARM v8 64-bit systems this property is required
and matches the MPIDR_EL1 register affinity bits.
* If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 2
The first reg cell bits [7:0] must be set to
bits [39:32] of MPIDR_EL1.
The second reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to
bits [23:0] of MPIDR_EL1.
* If cpus node's #address-cells property is set to 1
The reg cell bits [23:0] must be set to bits [23:0]
of MPIDR_EL1.
All other bits in the reg cells must be set to 0.
