Thanks, Rick,

It's very helpful. I'll fix them.

Please don't describe the file path because in the following log it
can be found obviously.
or you can reword as:
Add a callback harts_early_init() to start.S

Don't describe the called path.
_weak function is a common usage in U-Boot, if someone grep the U-Boot
and will know how to use this callback.

allow to disable/enable features ...
it shall be reword as:
configure feature settings of each hart (Because someone maybe not
just enable or disable features but need to adjust the default value
or somewhat)

> + * core. For example, turn on or off the functional block of CPU harts.

Same meaning as disable/enable features of each hart. It is
unnecessary to describe again.

The point is atomic instruction but not the available_harts_lock, it
is only a variable allocated in memory.
You may describe that:
Memory access shall be careful here, it shall take care race conditions.

Don't describe too much duplicate words for harts_early_init in
start.S and cpu.c.
Here you just describe this callback can configure not standard or
customized CSRs.
And describe race condition issue of memory access in SMP system for
harts_early_init() in cpu.c

Thanks,
Rick

[RFC PATCH v5 1/2] arch: riscv: cpu: Add callback to init each core

2021-04-13 Thread Green Wan
Add a callback harts_early_init() to ./arch/riscv/cpu/start.S to
allow different riscv hart perform setup code for each hart as early
as possible. Since all the harts enter the callback, they must be able
to run the same setup.
