+description: |
+ The x86 mailbox wakeup mechanism defines a mechanism to let the bootstrap
+ processor (BSP) to wake up application processors (APs) through a wakeup
+ mailbox.
+
+ The "wakeup-mailbox-addr" property specifies the wakeup mailbox address. The
+ wakeup mailbox is a 4K-aligned 4K-size memory block allocated in the reserved
+ memory.
+
+ The wakeup mailbox structure is defined as follows.
+
+ uint16_t command;
+ uint16_t reserved;
+ uint32_t apic_id;
+ uint64_t wakeup_vector;
+ uint8_t reservedForOs[2032];
+
+ The memory after reservedForOs field is reserved and OS should not touch it.
+
+ To wakes up a AP, the BSP prepares the wakeup routine, fills the wakeup
+ routine's address into the wakeup_vector field, fill the apic_id field with
+ the target AP's APIC_ID, and write 1 to the command field. After receiving the
+ wakeup command, the target AP will jump to the wakeup routine.
+
+ For each AP, the mailbox can be used only once for the wakeup command. After
+ the AP jumps to the wakeup routine, the mailbox will no longer be checked by
+ this AP.
+
+ The wakeup mailbox structure and the wakeup process is the same as
+ the Multiprocessor Wakeup Mailbox Structure defined in ACPI spec version 6.5,
+ section 5.2.12.19 [1].

+select: false
This schema is still a no-op because of this false.
What is the point of defining one property if it is not placed anywhere?
Every device node can have it? Seems wrong...
You need to come with proper schema. Lack of an example is another thing
- this cannot be even validated by the tools.

Hi, Krzysztof, I'm working to address your comments and have some questions.
Hope to get help/guide from your side.
For the select, the writing-schema.rst describes it as "A json-schema used to
match nodes for applying the schema" but I'm a bit confused. In my case, should
it be "cpus" node? Is there any code/tools that uses this property, so that I
can have a better understanding?
Usually we expect matching by compatible, but it does not seem suitable
here because it is not related to any specific device, right? That is
the problem with all this DT-reuse-for-virtual-stuff work. It just does
not follow usual expectations and guidelines - you do not describe a device.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm a bit confused on your "do not describe a device".
I think VM is also a device, it's just a virtual device, but I don't see much
difference of the virtual and physical device from DT point of view, possibly I
missed some point.

You can still match by nodes. See all top-level bindings.
After checking the code at
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/validator.py,
seems the 'select' is translated to 'if'/'then'.
Do you have any example of "top-level bindings"? I tried to check binding for
enable-methods like arm/cpu-enable-method/nuvoton,npcm750-smp or
cpu/idle-states.yaml, but they are either not schema file, or quite different.
I have been struggling on this device binding document for a while. I
reconsidered what this binding is for. This binding means, if the cpus node has
"enable-method" as "acpi-wakeup-mailbox", then the device should have property
"wakeup-mailbox-addr" with uint64 type.
In that case, I'm considering to set the "select" to be true so that it will
apply to any potential device, and add if/then keyword to check the
enable-method. But seems it does not work and I'm still trying to figure out the
reason (I'm new to the json/json schema and is still learning).
I received followed error:
cpus: '#address-cells', '#size-cells', 'cpu@0', 'enable-method' do not match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-[0-9]+'
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/x86/wakeup.yaml#
cpu@0: 'device_type', 'reg' do not match any of the regexes: 'pinctrl-[0-9]+'
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/x86/wakeup.yaml#
With the followed yaml file (I delete some description).

For your "validated by the tools", can you please share the tools you used to
validate the schema? I used "make dt_binding_check" per the
submitting-patches.rst but I think your comments is about another tool.
See writing-schema document.
Yes, I figured out in the end that the validate tools means the dt-schema tools.
Thank you

One thing just come to my mind. The
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/x86/wakeup.yaml only adds one property,
wakeup-mailbox-addr, to the cpus node, and it does not specify any new object.
Per my understanding, the json schema file normally specifies a new object.
Is my change a supported scenario in current Documentation/devicetree?
I checked similar scenario like arm/cpu-enable-method/nuvoton and
npcm750-smp/cpu-enable-method/al,alpine-smp, they don't present as a json
schema file. Wonder if it's because the same reason.
