1 * Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)
3 Firmware implementing the PSCI functions described in ARM document number
4 ARM DEN 0022A ("Power State Coordination Interface System Software on ARM
5 processors") can be used by Linux to initiate various CPU-centric power
8 Issue A of the specification describes functions for CPU suspend, hotplug
9 and migration of secure software.
11 Functions are invoked by trapping to the privilege level of the PSCI
12 firmware (specified as part of the binding below) and passing arguments
13 in a manner similar to that specified by AAPCS:
15 r0 => 32-bit Function ID / return value
16 {r1 - r3} => Parameters
18 Note that the immediate field of the trapping instruction must be set
22 Main node required properties:
24 - compatible : Must be "arm,psci"
26 - method : The method of calling the PSCI firmware. Permitted
29 "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
32 "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
35 Main node optional properties:
37 - cpu_suspend : Function ID for CPU_SUSPEND operation
39 - cpu_off : Function ID for CPU_OFF operation
41 - cpu_on : Function ID for CPU_ON operation
43 - migrate : Function ID for MIGRATE operation
