UPSTREAM: MIPS: CPS: Handle spurious VP starts more gracefully
On pre-r6 systems with the MT ASE the CPS SMP code included checks to
halt the VPE running mips_cps_boot_vpes() if its bit in the struct
core_boot_config vpe_mask field is clear. This was largely done in order
to allow us to start arbitrary VPEs within a core despite the fact that
hardware is typically configured to run only VPE0 after powering up a
core. VPE0 would start the desired other VPEs, halt itself, and the fact
that VPE0 started would be largely hidden & irrelevant.
In MIPSr6 multithreading we have control over which VPs start executing
when a core powers up via the cores CPC registers accessed remotely
through the redirect block. For this reason the MIPSr6 multithreading
path in mips_cps_boot_vpes() hasn't bothered up until now to handle
halting the VP running it.
However it is possible to power up cores entirely in hardware by using a
pwr_up pin associated with the core. Unfortunately some systems wire
this pin to a logic 1, which means that it is possible for a core to
power up at a point that software doesn't expect. The result is that we
generally go execute the kernel on a CPU that ought not to be running &
the results can be unpredictable.
Handle this case by stopping VPs that we don't expect to be running in
mips_cps_boot_vpes() - with this change even if a core powers up it will
do nothing useful & all VPs within it will stop running before they
proceed to run general kernel code & do any damage. Ideally we would
produce some sort of warning here, but given the stage of core bringup
this happens at that would be non-trivial. We also will only hit this if
a core starts up after being offlined via hotplug, and when that happens
we will already produce a warning that the CPU didn't power down in
cps_cpu_die() which seems sufficient.
