+===========================================
+CPU topology binding description
+===========================================
+
+===========================================
+1 - Introduction
+===========================================
+
+In a SMP system, the hierarchy of CPUs is defined through three entities that
+are used to describe the layout of physical CPUs in the system:
+
+- socket
+- cluster
+- core
+- thread
+
+The bottom hierarchy level sits at core or thread level depending on whether
+symmetric multi-threading (SMT) is supported or not.
+
+For instance in a system where CPUs support SMT, "cpu" nodes represent all
+threads existing in the system and map to the hierarchy level "thread" above.
+In systems where SMT is not supported "cpu" nodes represent all cores present
+in the system and map to the hierarchy level "core" above.
+
+CPU topology bindings allow one to associate cpu nodes with hierarchical groups
+corresponding to the system hierarchy; syntactically they are defined as device
+tree nodes.
+
+Currently, only ARM/RISC-V intend to use this cpu topology binding but it may be
+used for any other architecture as well.
+
+The cpu nodes, as per bindings defined in [4], represent the devices that
+correspond to physical CPUs and are to be mapped to the hierarchy levels.
+
+A topology description containing phandles to cpu nodes that are not compliant
+with bindings standardized in [4] is therefore considered invalid.
+
+===========================================
+2 - cpu-map node
+===========================================
+
+The ARM/RISC-V CPU topology is defined within the cpu-map node, which is a direct
+child of the cpus node and provides a container where the actual topology
+nodes are listed.
+
+- cpu-map node
+
+ Usage: Optional - On SMP systems provide CPUs topology to the OS.
+ Uniprocessor systems do not require a topology
+ description and therefore should not define a
+ cpu-map node.
+
+ Description: The cpu-map node is just a container node where its
+ subnodes describe the CPU topology.
+
+ Node name must be "cpu-map".
+
+ The cpu-map node's parent node must be the cpus node.
+
+ The cpu-map node's child nodes can be:
+
+ - one or more cluster nodes or
+ - one or more socket nodes in a multi-socket system
+
+ Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+The cpu-map node can only contain 4 types of child nodes:
+
+- socket node
+- cluster node
+- core node
+- thread node
+
+whose bindings are described in paragraph 3.
+
+The nodes describing the CPU topology (socket/cluster/core/thread) can
+only be defined within the cpu-map node and every core/thread in the
+system must be defined within the topology. Any other configuration is
+invalid and therefore must be ignored.
+
+===========================================
+2.1 - cpu-map child nodes naming convention
+===========================================
+
+cpu-map child nodes must follow a naming convention where the node name
+must be "socketN", "clusterN", "coreN", "threadN" depending on the node type
+(ie socket/cluster/core/thread) (where N = {0, 1, ...} is the node number; nodes
+which are siblings within a single common parent node must be given a unique and
+sequential N value, starting from 0).
+cpu-map child nodes which do not share a common parent node can have the same
+name (ie same number N as other cpu-map child nodes at different device tree
+levels) since name uniqueness will be guaranteed by the device tree hierarchy.
+
+===========================================
+3 - socket/cluster/core/thread node bindings
+===========================================
+
+Bindings for socket/cluster/cpu/thread nodes are defined as follows:
+
+- socket node
+
+ Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
+ per physical socket in the system. A system can
+ contain single or multiple physical socket.
+ The association of sockets and NUMA nodes is beyond
+ the scope of this bindings, please refer [2] for
+ NUMA bindings.
+
+ This node is optional for a single socket system.
+
+ The socket node name must be "socketN" as described in 2.1 above.
+ A socket node can not be a leaf node.
+
+ A socket node's child nodes must be one or more cluster nodes.
+
+ Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+- cluster node
+
+ Description: must be declared within a cpu-map node, one node
+ per cluster. A system can contain several layers of
+ clustering within a single physical socket and cluster
+ nodes can be contained in parent cluster nodes.
+
+ The cluster node name must be "clusterN" as described in 2.1 above.
+ A cluster node can not be a leaf node.
+
+ A cluster node's child nodes must be:
+
+ - one or more cluster nodes; or
+ - one or more core nodes
+
+ Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+- core node
+
+ Description: must be declared in a cluster node, one node per core in
+ the cluster. If the system does not support SMT, core
+ nodes are leaf nodes, otherwise they become containers of
+ thread nodes.
+
+ The core node name must be "coreN" as described in 2.1 above.
+
+ A core node must be a leaf node if SMT is not supported.
+
+ Properties for core nodes that are leaf nodes:
+
+ - cpu
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <phandle>
+ Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to the
+ core node.
+
+ If a core node is not a leaf node (CPUs supporting SMT) a core node's
+ child nodes can be:
+
+ - one or more thread nodes
+
+ Any other configuration is considered invalid.
+
+- thread node
+
+ Description: must be declared in a core node, one node per thread
+ in the core if the system supports SMT. Thread nodes are
+ always leaf nodes in the device tree.
+
+ The thread node name must be "threadN" as described in 2.1 above.
+
+ A thread node must be a leaf node.
+
+ A thread node must contain the following property:
+
+ - cpu
+ Usage: required
+ Value type: <phandle>
+ Definition: a phandle to the cpu node that corresponds to
+ the thread node.

+description: |+
+ ==========================================
+ 1 - Introduction
+ ==========================================
+
+ ARM and RISC-V systems contain HW capable of managing power consumption
+ dynamically, where cores can be put in different low-power states (ranging
+ from simple wfi to power gating) according to OS PM policies. The CPU states
+ representing the range of dynamic idle states that a processor can enter at
+ run-time, can be specified through device tree bindings representing the
+ parameters required to enter/exit specific idle states on a given processor.
+
+ ==========================================
+ 2 - ARM idle states
+ ==========================================
+
+ According to the Server Base System Architecture document (SBSA, [3]), the
+ power states an ARM CPU can be put into are identified by the following list:
+
+ - Running
+ - Idle_standby
+ - Idle_retention
+ - Sleep
+ - Off
+
+ The power states described in the SBSA document define the basic CPU states on
+ top of which ARM platforms implement power management schemes that allow an OS
+ PM implementation to put the processor in different idle states (which include
+ states listed above; "off" state is not an idle state since it does not have
+ wake-up capabilities, hence it is not considered in this document).
+
+ Idle state parameters (e.g. entry latency) are platform specific and need to
+ be characterized with bindings that provide the required information to OS PM
+ code so that it can build the required tables and use them at runtime.
+
+ The device tree binding definition for ARM idle states is the subject of this
+ document.
+
+ ==========================================
+ 3 - RISC-V idle states
+ ==========================================
+
+ On RISC-V systems, the HARTs (or CPUs) [6] can be put in platform specific
+ suspend (or idle) states (ranging from simple WFI, power gating, etc). The
+ RISC-V SBI v0.3 (or higher) [7] hart state management extension provides a
+ standard mechanism for OS to request HART state transitions.
+
+ The platform specific suspend (or idle) states of a hart can be either
+ retentive or non-rententive in nature. A retentive suspend state will
+ preserve HART registers and CSR values for all privilege modes whereas
+ a non-retentive suspend state will not preserve HART registers and CSR
+ values.
+
+ ===========================================
+ 4 - idle-states definitions
+ ===========================================
+
+ Idle states are characterized for a specific system through a set of
+ timing and energy related properties, that underline the HW behaviour
+ triggered upon idle states entry and exit.
+
+ The following diagram depicts the CPU execution phases and related timing
+ properties required to enter and exit an idle state:
+
+ ..__[EXEC]__|__[PREP]__|__[ENTRY]__|__[IDLE]__|__[EXIT]__|__[EXEC]__..
+ | | | | |
+
+ |<------ entry ------->|
+ | latency |
+ |<- exit ->|
+ | latency |
+ |<-------- min-residency -------->|
+ |<------- wakeup-latency ------->|
+
+ Diagram 1: CPU idle state execution phases
+
+ EXEC: Normal CPU execution.
+
+ PREP: Preparation phase before committing the hardware to idle mode
+ like cache flushing. This is abortable on pending wake-up
+ event conditions. The abort latency is assumed to be negligible
+ (i.e. less than the ENTRY + EXIT duration). If aborted, CPU
+ goes back to EXEC. This phase is optional. If not abortable,
+ this should be included in the ENTRY phase instead.
+
+ ENTRY: The hardware is committed to idle mode. This period must run
+ to completion up to IDLE before anything else can happen.
+
+ IDLE: This is the actual energy-saving idle period. This may last
+ between 0 and infinite time, until a wake-up event occurs.
+
+ EXIT: Period during which the CPU is brought back to operational
+ mode (EXEC).
+
+ entry-latency: Worst case latency required to enter the idle state. The
+ exit-latency may be guaranteed only after entry-latency has passed.
+
+ min-residency: Minimum period, including preparation and entry, for a given
+ idle state to be worthwhile energywise.
+
+ wakeup-latency: Maximum delay between the signaling of a wake-up event and the
+ CPU being able to execute normal code again. If not specified, this is assumed
+ to be entry-latency + exit-latency.
+
+ These timing parameters can be used by an OS in different circumstances.
+
+ An idle CPU requires the expected min-residency time to select the most
+ appropriate idle state based on the expected expiry time of the next IRQ
+ (i.e. wake-up) that causes the CPU to return to the EXEC phase.
+
+ An operating system scheduler may need to compute the shortest wake-up delay
+ for CPUs in the system by detecting how long will it take to get a CPU out
+ of an idle state, e.g.:
+
+ wakeup-delay = exit-latency + max(entry-latency - (now - entry-timestamp), 0)
+
+ In other words, the scheduler can make its scheduling decision by selecting
+ (e.g. waking-up) the CPU with the shortest wake-up delay.
+ The wake-up delay must take into account the entry latency if that period
+ has not expired. The abortable nature of the PREP period can be ignored
+ if it cannot be relied upon (e.g. the PREP deadline may occur much sooner than
+ the worst case since it depends on the CPU operating conditions, i.e. caches
+ state).
+
+ An OS has to reliably probe the wakeup-latency since some devices can enforce
+ latency constraint guarantees to work properly, so the OS has to detect the
+ worst case wake-up latency it can incur if a CPU is allowed to enter an
+ idle state, and possibly to prevent that to guarantee reliable device
+ functioning.
+
+ The min-residency time parameter deserves further explanation since it is
+ expressed in time units but must factor in energy consumption coefficients.
+
+ The energy consumption of a cpu when it enters a power state can be roughly
+ characterised by the following graph:
+
+ |
+ |
+ |
+ e |
+ n | /---
+ e | /------
+ r | /------
+ g | /-----
+ y | /------
+ | ----
+ | /|
+ | / |
+ | / |
+ | / |
+ | / |
+ | / |
+ |/ |
+ -----|-------+----------------------------------
+ 0| 1 time(ms)
+
+ Graph 1: Energy vs time example
+
+ The graph is split in two parts delimited by time 1ms on the X-axis.
+ The graph curve with X-axis values = { x | 0 < x < 1ms } has a steep slope
+ and denotes the energy costs incurred while entering and leaving the idle
+ state.
+ The graph curve in the area delimited by X-axis values = {x | x > 1ms } has
+ shallower slope and essentially represents the energy consumption of the idle
+ state.
+
+ min-residency is defined for a given idle state as the minimum expected
+ residency time for a state (inclusive of preparation and entry) after
+ which choosing that state become the most energy efficient option. A good
+ way to visualise this, is by taking the same graph above and comparing some
+ states energy consumptions plots.
+
+ For sake of simplicity, let's consider a system with two idle states IDLE1,
+ and IDLE2:
+
+ |
+ |
+ |
+ | /-- IDLE1
+ e | /---
+ n | /----
+ e | /---
+ r | /-----/--------- IDLE2
+ g | /-------/---------
+ y | ------------ /---|
+ | / /---- |
+ | / /--- |
+ | / /---- |
+ | / /--- |
+ | --- |
+ | / |
+ | / |
+ |/ | time
+ ---/----------------------------+------------------------
+ |IDLE1-energy < IDLE2-energy | IDLE2-energy < IDLE1-energy
+ |
+ IDLE2-min-residency
+
+ Graph 2: idle states min-residency example
+
+ In graph 2 above, that takes into account idle states entry/exit energy
+ costs, it is clear that if the idle state residency time (i.e. time till next
+ wake-up IRQ) is less than IDLE2-min-residency, IDLE1 is the better idle state
+ choice energywise.
+
+ This is mainly down to the fact that IDLE1 entry/exit energy costs are lower
+ than IDLE2.
+
+ However, the lower power consumption (i.e. shallower energy curve slope) of
+ idle state IDLE2 implies that after a suitable time, IDLE2 becomes more energy
+ efficient.
+
+ The time at which IDLE2 becomes more energy efficient than IDLE1 (and other
+ shallower states in a system with multiple idle states) is defined
+ IDLE2-min-residency and corresponds to the time when energy consumption of
+ IDLE1 and IDLE2 states breaks even.
+
+ The definitions provided in this section underpin the idle states
+ properties specification that is the subject of the following sections.
+
+ ===========================================
+ 5 - idle-states node
+ ===========================================
+
+ The processor idle states are defined within the idle-states node, which is
+ a direct child of the cpus node [1] and provides a container where the
+ processor idle states, defined as device tree nodes, are listed.
+
+ On ARM systems, it is a container of processor idle states nodes. If the
+ system does not provide CPU power management capabilities, or the processor
+ just supports idle_standby, an idle-states node is not required.

+ Usage and definition depend on ARM architecture version.
+
+ On ARM v8 64-bit this property is required.
+ On ARM 32-bit systems this property is optional
+
+ This assumes that the "enable-method" property is set to "psci" in the cpu

+ description: |
+ Each state node represents an idle state description and must be defined
+ as follows.
+
+ The idle state entered by executing the wfi instruction (idle_standby
+ SBSA,[3][4]) is considered standard on all ARM and RISC-V platforms and
+ therefore must not be listed.
+
+ In addition to the properties listed above, a state node may require
+ additional properties specific to the entry-method defined in the
+ idle-states node. Please refer to the entry-method bindings
+ documentation for properties definitions.

+ description: |
+ power_state parameter to pass to the ARM PSCI suspend call.
+
+ Device tree nodes that require usage of PSCI CPU_SUSPEND function
+ (i.e. idle states node with entry-method property is set to "psci")
+ must specify this property.
+
+ riscv,sbi-suspend-param:
+ $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+ description: |
+ suspend_type parameter to pass to the RISC-V SBI HSM suspend call.
+
+ This property is required in idle state nodes of device tree meant
+ for RISC-V systems. For more details on the suspend_type parameter
+ refer the SBI specifiation v0.3 (or higher) [7].

+ exit-latency-us:
+ description:

+ The exit-latency-us duration may be guaranteed only after

+
+ min-residency-us:
+ description:
+ Minimum residency duration in microseconds, inclusive of preparation
+ and entry, for this idle state to be considered worthwhile energy wise
+ (refer to section 2 of this document for a complete description).
+
+ wakeup-latency-us:
+ description: |
+ Maximum delay between the signaling of a wake-up event and the CPU
+ being able to execute normal code again. If omitted, this is assumed
+ to be equal to:
+
+ entry-latency-us + exit-latency-us
+
+ It is important to supply this value on systems where the duration of
+ PREP phase (see diagram 1, section 2) is non-neglibigle. In such
