Hi Sami,


I've been looking at this again to make sure I've addressed all the issues before sending out a v2 patch series. I'm stuck on one point though: I'm not sure how it can be split into 2-3 patches without breaking bisecting. The CpuDxe and MpInitLib changes introduce a dependency on MpInitLib, so I don't see how I can put the ArmVirtPkg change into a separate commit without breaking it?

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks you for this patch.

I think this patch could be split in 2 - 3 patches (CpuDxe  & MpInitLib and the ArmVirtPkg change should be a separate patch).

Please find my feedback inline marked [SAMI].

I think the usage of MPIDR and CpuInfo->ProcessorId needs to be revisited in this patch series. I have kept my feedback on usage of MPIDR and the MT bit [24] to give the context. But, it will be good to only retain the affinity bits and mask all other bits of the MPIDR.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Regards,

Sami Mujawar

Add support for EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL during the DXE phase under

PSCI_CPU_ON is called to power on the core, the supplied procedure is
executed and PSCI_CPU_OFF is called to power off the core.

Minimal setup is done before calling the supplied procedure: for example
the MMU and caches are not enabled.
