[PATCH] MIPS: Allow using more than 32-bit addresses for reset vectors when possible

From: Gregory CLEMENT
Date: Fri Oct 11 2024 - 07:33:52 EST


While most MIPS64 CPUs use 32-bit values for their VP Local Reset
Exception Base registers, some I6500 CPUs can utilize a 64-bit value,
allowing addressing up to 47 bits of physical memory.

For the EyeQ6H CPU, where physical memory addresses exceed the 4GB
limit, utilizing this feature is mandatory to enable SMP support.

Unfortunately, there is no way to detect this capability based solely
on the ID of the CPU. According to Imagination, which designed the
CPU, the only reliable method is to fill the reset base field with
0xFF and then read back its value. If the upper part of the read-back
value is zero, it indicates that the address space is limited to 32
bits.

Hello,

The following patch enables SMP on EyeQ6H SoCs.

It was successfully tested on EyeQ5 and EyeQ6H, as well as on MIPS32
CPUs such as ocelot on board PCB123 and JZ4780 on CI20. However, I
must admit that none of these platforms ran SMP. The ocelot has only
one core, and while the JZ4780 does have SMP capabilities, its support
is not yet available in the mainline kernel.
