Re-add the previous compatible string "riscv-virtio-soc" to the soc
device tree node to allow U-Boot and Linux to bind machine-specific
drivers to it. The current compatible string "simple-bus" is retained.

This is required by U-Boot to bind devices early, as part of the
pre-relocation driver model.

This looks fine to me.

I see no problem with U-Boot working with current compatible string
"simple-bus". In fact I had planned to remove the compatible string
"riscv-virtio-soc" in U-Boot but did not get time to work on it.

It is only required if U-Boot is running in machine-mode. For
relocation it needs to use the CLINT driver to send appropriate IPIs to
the other harts. To be able to probe the driver, the device and its
parent device tree node (soc) must therefore be available in the pre-
relocation device model.
This patch was the easiest way I could think of for achieving this. It
could be that there is a better way of solving this.

Thanks,
Lukas

I tested your SMP U-Boot series in both M-mode and S-mode, using a 4
core 'virt' target. Works fine. I am using QEMU 3.1.0 so it is
"simple-bus".

That is actually my fault, it should not work.
What is happening is that U-Boot fails to relocate the secondary harts,
because the CLINT driver cannot get the memory address of the CLINT
device. This error is currently silently ignored.
The secondary harts are still waiting to receive IPIs, so booting Linux
works fine, because U-Boot can now send IPIs. This will however break
if U-Boot overwrites the code the secondary harts are running, which
could happen when loading an image.

I will update my SMP U-Boot series to print a warning if sending an IPI
fails.

Thanks,
Lukas

I still don't understand. Why does the CLINT driver fail to get the
memory address? U-Boot has been supporting "simpile-bus" for a long
time. It was because QEMU 3.0.0 generated the /soc node with
"riscv-virtio-soc" compatible string, U-Boot was taught to treat such
compatible string as a "simple-bus" too (that was the U-Boot commit
27dc2c130e29)

That's correct. The problem with the default simple-bus U-Boot driver
is that it does not have the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag set. The /soc and
/soc/clint nodes are therefore not available before relocation, meaning
that IPIs cannot be sent to relocate the secondary harts.

Thanks for the clarifications. Now I see the problem. But I think we
should fix U-Boot "simple-bus" driver instead. As seen on FU540 or
likely other hardware, QEMU generates the "simple-bus" compatible
string for the /soc node, as well as the DT provided by the hardware.

That makes sense, I can send a patch to set the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag
in the simple-bus U-Boot driver. I think it's best to send it
separately from the SMP patch series, since it could affect other
boards and it's a bit late in the release cycle. What do you think?

This patch can be dropped then.

Yes, agreed that the "simple-bus" driver changes should be next U-Boot
release. We should try to get the U-Boot SMP series in the v2019.04
release.

Yes definitely, I have just sent version 3 of the series. I hope it is
ready to go into mainline now.

I still had this at the top of my patch queue, but from looking at the thread 
it appears the resolution here is to drop this in favor of generic support.  
LMK if I missed something.

Yes, you are right. We are going to fix this from the U-Boot side, so
this patch can be dropped.
