Subject: [RFC 0/3] arm64: SPE ACPI enablement

This patch series enables the Arm Statistical
Profiling Extension (SPE) on ACPI platforms.

This is possible because ACPI 6.3 uses a previously
reserved field in the MADT to store the SPE interrupt
number, similarly to how the normal PMU is
described. If a consistent valid interrupt exists
across all the cores in the system, a platform
device is registered. That then triggers the SPE module,
which runs as normal.

Subject: [RFC 2/3] arm_pmu: acpi: spe: Add initial MADT/SPE probing

ACPI 6.3 adds additional fields to the MADT GICC
structure to describe SPE PPI's. We pick these out
of the cached reference to the madt_gicc structure
similarly to the core PMU code. We then create a platform
device referring to the IRQ and let the user/module loader
decide whether to load the SPE driver.

[Nit] Does it make sense to add _OFFSET in the name ? Otherwise it may
sound like the actual interrupt number than the offset.

Other than that, this looks good to me:

Unfortunately, I don't think this is sufficient to detect a homogeneous
system: we'll have to check the MIDRs instead, which is nasty. I would
personally be in favour of enforcing homogeneity for ACPI systems when we
bring up secondary CPUs, but I suspect others would disagree.

Given that all the SPE capable machines i'm aware of at the moment are
homogeneous, are we ok with just doing an online CPU MIDR check for now,
and cleaning that up if/when someone builds a machine and complains?

Yeah, I think we added a new bit to the PPTT to tell you that the machine is
homogenous, so just check that first and bail if it's not set.

Yes of course, 100% better plan. Although its probably going to have to
be more of a case of walking all the possible cores and assuring they
have the same flag level (similar to how the socket flag is handled). Of
course that information is useful enough it should probably just be done
as part of the normal cpu topology walk. Then the people who have to
back port these patches end up with a big dependent set... <chuckle>
