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 : should contain at least one of:
26 * "arm,psci" : for implementations complying to PSCI versions prior to
27 0.2. For these cases function IDs must be provided.
29 * "arm,psci-0.2" : for implementations complying to PSCI 0.2. Function
30 IDs are not required and should be ignored by an OS with PSCI 0.2
31 support, but are permitted to be present for compatibility with
32 existing software when "arm,psci" is later in the compatible list.
34 - method : The method of calling the PSCI firmware. Permitted
37 "smc" : SMC #0, with the register assignments specified
40 "hvc" : HVC #0, with the register assignments specified
43 Main node optional properties:
45 - cpu_suspend : Function ID for CPU_SUSPEND operation
47 - cpu_off : Function ID for CPU_OFF operation
49 - cpu_on : Function ID for CPU_ON operation
51 - migrate : Function ID for MIGRATE operation
53 Device tree nodes that require usage of PSCI CPU_SUSPEND function (ie idle
54 state nodes, as per bindings in [1]) must specify the following properties:
56 - arm,psci-suspend-param
57 Usage: Required for state nodes[1] if the corresponding
58 idle-states node entry-method property is set
61 Definition: power_state parameter to pass to the PSCI
66 Case 1: PSCI v0.1 only.

77 Case 2: PSCI v0.2 only
80 compatible = "arm,psci-0.2";
84 Case 3: PSCI v0.2 and PSCI v0.1.
86 A DTB may provide IDs for use by kernels without PSCI 0.2 support,
87 enabling firmware and hypervisors to support existing and new kernels.
88 These IDs will be ignored by kernels with PSCI 0.2 support, which will
89 use the standard PSCI 0.2 IDs exclusively.
