> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] SMP support for RISC-V
> 
> This patch series adds SMP support for RISC-V to U-Boot. It allows U-Boot to
> run on multi-hart systems (hart is the RISC-V terminology for hardware
> thread). Images passed to bootm will be started on all harts.
> The bootm command is currently the only one that will boot images on all
> harts, bootefi is not yet supported.
> 
> The patches have been successfully tested on both QEMU (machine and
> supervisor mode) and the HiFive Unleashed board (supervisor mode), using
> BBL and OpenSBI.
> Mainline QEMU requires two patches [1, 2] to run in this configuration.

> [1]: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1039493/
> [2]: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1039082/
> 
> Changes in v2:
> - Remove unneeded quotes from NR_CPUS Kconfig entry
> - Move memory barrier from send_ipi_many() to handle_ipi()
> - Add check in send_ipi_many so that IPIs are only sent to available harts as
> indicated by the available_harts mask
> - Implement hart lottery to pick main hart to run U-Boot
> - Remove CONFIG_MAIN_HART as it is not required anymore
> - Register available harts in the available_harts mask
> - New patch to populate register a0 with the hart ID from the mhartid CSR in
> machine-mode
> - New patch to enable SMP on the SiFive FU540, which was previously sent
> independently
> 
> Lukas Auer (9):
>   riscv: add infrastructure for calling functions on other harts
>   riscv: import the supervisor binary interface header file
>   riscv: implement IPI platform functions using SBI
>   riscv: delay initialization of caches and debug UART
>   riscv: add support for multi-hart systems
>   riscv: boot images passed to bootm on all harts
>   riscv: do not rely on hart ID passed by previous boot stage
>   riscv: fu540: enable SMP
>   riscv: qemu: enable SMP

I tried this series on U-Boot-2019.04-rc3 and works fine on
SiFive Unleashed board.

Tested-by: Anup Patel <anup.patel at wdc.com>

I have also pushed these patches to riscv_sifive_fu540_smp_v4
branch of https://github.com/avpatel/u-boot.git

Anup
