This patch:
- abstracts the common logic from existing x86 implementation
- moves x86-specific logic to arch/x86/notify.c
A new common/notify.{c,h} is introduced to provide a common SMP call framework for
multi-arch support in ACRN.
arch-specific files such as arch/{x86,riscv}/notify.c is aim to provide the
corresponding implementations respectively.
The framework provides the following common APIs:
- init_smp_call(): initialize the SMP call support during pCPU initialization
- handle_smp_call(): execute the SMP call notification handler
- smp_call_function(): trigger the SMP call request to target pCPUs
Other SW modules should invoke these common APIs to perform arch-independent
SMP operations.
Two arch-specific hooks are abstracted:
- arch_smp_call_kick_pcpu():
- On x86, special handling is required when LAPIC is passthrough.
- On RISC-V, a plain IPI is sufficient to kick the target pCPU.
- arch_init_smp_call():
- On x86, CPU initialization reserves dedicated vectors and
registers callback handlers for purposes such as notifications
or posted interrupts.
- On RISC-V, no special handling is required at present; this
can be extended in the future if needed.

ACRN Hypervisor ############### The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the "ACRN Device Model". The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website. .. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org .. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor .. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/
