If PSCI is available then most likely we are running on PSCI-enabled
U-Boot which, we assume, has already taken care of resetting CNTVOFF
before switching to non-secure mode and we don't need to.
Also, don't init CNTVOFF if we are running on top of Xen hypervisor,
as CNTVOFF is controlled by hypervisor itself and shouldn't be touched
by Dom0 in such case.

Changes in v2:
- Clarify patch subject/description
- Don't use CONFIG_ARM_PSCI option, check whether the PSCI is available,
by using psci_smp_available()
- Check whether we are running on top of Xen, by using xen_domain()

How do you prevent secure_cntvoff_init() from being called for secondary
CPUs in arch/arm/mach-shmobile/headsmp-apmu.S?
With PSCI, it is not called if "enable-method" in DT is "psci"', so that case
is covered, I guess.
What about XEN? Do you override the "enable-method"?
If yes, perhaps a check for "renesas,apmu" is more appropriate?

Yes.

No, I don't override.
The correct way to run Xen would be to use PSCI, so Linux shouldn't do
any platform low level operation with secondary CPU cores (on/off,
reset, etc) by itself when running on top of Xen hypervisor.
As Xen brings available secondary cores up before starting first domain
(Dom0) using PSCI CPU_ON call to FW, and these cores are entered Xen in
Hyp mode, so any attempts from Dom0 to perform CPU power management
directly (using APMU, RST, etc) may result in something not good. I
think that in case when someone wants to run Xen on R-Car Gen2 system
(which is SMP) without PSCI enabled, we need to forbid even trying to
start secondary cores using APMU.
What do you think?

If you are running on top of Xen, then PSCI will be available. So is
there any real value to check the presence of Xen as well?

I think, no. If the PSCI is a must to run Xen, then it is certainly an
excessive check. I will drop it in V3.

Xen does not offer another interface for SMP bring-up.
