[U-Boot] [PATCH v1 0/4] Jetson-TK1 support for PSCI

2015-01-13 Thread Ian Campbell
Hi Thierry,

I needed to boot my Jetson in NS mode (in order to boot Xen) and was
investigating the possibility of PSCI support when I discovered that you
had already started on it[0]. Hurrah!

I cherry-picked the relevant commit onto u-boot-tegra#master and added a
few more patches and now it boots correctly for me, both running Xen
(some Xen side patches are needed too) and native Linux.

The main things which was needed was to rebase for some recent Kconfig
changes relating to virt and nonsec mode and to arrange for the RAM used
by the secure code to be reserved in the FDT. I also reserved the RAM
using the hardware MC_SECURITY_CFG registers for good measure.

I also pushed my tree to gitorious:
https://gitorious.org/ijc/u-boot jetson-psci-v1

I would Ack your patch, but I don't think you've posted it and it has no
S-o-b so that would seem a bit premature/rude of me. For the same reason
I've not actually included it in the series posted (but it is in the
gitorious branch).

FWIW I think you could drop your stub versions of psci_cpu_off and
psci_cpu_suspend (assuming you don't want to implement them) since the
common code has stubs.

Albert, I've CCd you on a couple of patches which touch common ARM code.
Nothing too major I think.

Cheers,
Ian.

Thanks, any *info would be good even though I could likely decode it
from the driver...

I'm afraid I've been a bit slack about updating the series with the
other comments, mostly because I've been procrastinating over this
powergate issue.

Yes, although I don't have any 114 or 30 hardware, just a single Jetson.

(there should probably be an "eventually" near the start of that
sentence, I'm travelling for the next 10 days and don't have remote
power control...)

This was my concern. It would be good to avoid a case where we
accidentally rely on some subtle interactiion where both the FW and
kernel poke some registers in a particular way.

I guess we can check for the presence of an enable-method, and if there
is one don't register the Tegra-specific cpuidle driver; in that case we
expect the FW to own that side of things.

Nice!

I should look into getting hold of a relevant platform; I only have a
(T20) AC100, and I guess that's a bit different at the system-level.

Thanks,

 The solution that was discussed internally would involve having the

 flow controller appropriately, point the CPU reset vectors to a location
 containing a WFI instruction and power up the CPUs. That way they should
 immediately be powergated when they reach the WFI instruction and the
 PSCI implementation would then be able to wake them up without accessing
 the PMC registers once the kernel has booted.

 Adding Peter. Please correct me if I misunderstood what we discussed.
 Can you also provide Ian with pointers to the registers that need to be
 programmed to make this work? I suspect that a lot of it can be gleaned
 from the cpuidle drivers in arch/arm/mach-tegra in the upstream Linux
 kernel.

 Also adding Paul for visibility.

 As I understand it, only the flow controller is involved with CPU power
 management once the above steps have been performed by the secure
 monitor. And I don't think anyone in the kernel would need access to the
 flow controller at that point either, so I think that problem resolved
 itself nicely.

 Also note that the above should work as far back as Tegra30.

To avoid duplicate work: I started to implement the suggested algorithm
on the TK1. Just like Ian, I don't have access to any other platform
(nor docs at hand), so I will stick with Tegra124 support for the first
step. I suppose we can easily extend this later on.

Flow controller setup and the PSCI service CPU_ON already works. I'll
post patches once CPU_OFF is working as well.

Feel free to take ownership of that patch. I currently don't have the
time to work on this and it seems you've made good progress on it.

It could probably use some cleanup because there's a bit of debug output
still in there. Also...

... I'd think you'd need to implement these so that you can get proper
suspend/resume support in the kernel. I've had to disable cpuidle (via
#undef CONFIG_PM_SLEEP in arch/arm/mach-tegra/cpuidle-tegra114.c) in the
kernel to make that code not powergate CPUs. Ideally I think the kernel
would check that it's running with PSCI support and disable the cpuidle
driver. Maybe that could be done by introducing a new cpuidle driver
that checks for PSCI availability and uses it when present.

Adding Stephen and Tom for visibility.

Hrm, I'm not sure how this all fits together, it's not a problem I've
noted before.

FWIW I think cpu_off and cpu_suspend are optional in PSCI v0.1 so an
initial version doesn't necessarily need to implement them (sunxi
doesn't for example), but as you say they do enable useful features.

> Adding Stephen and Tom for visibility.

Oops, sorry, I got them for the patches (via docs/git-mailrc) but forgot

I think when I tried last time, without disable the cpuidle driver
things would hang at boot. I would expect that problem to exist for
any board. Perhaps you've disabled PM_SLEEP in your config?

We have a generic CPUidle driver on arm64 which can use PSCI as a
backend; we should try to reuse that. The binding should certainly be
identical.

It looks like the tegra124 dts in mainline doesn't use enable-method in
the DT, so a better option might be to fail early in cpuidle-tegra114.c 
if _any_ enable-method is present.

Thanks,
Mark.

Is there any reason that driver needs to be ARM64-specific? I would've
thought that there could be a generic PSCI driver that works anywhere.

Yes, that sounds like a good plan. The absence of an enable-method would
signal that a kernel-native method (if any) should be used.

And this reminds me that we still need to find a way to synchronize
accesses to the powergate registers between secure firmware and the
kernel. Tegra has a set of hardware semaphores, but it seems like those
can only be used to synchronize between AVP and CPU, whereas for PSCI
we'd need something to synchronize between two CPUs. Do you know of any
existing mechanism to perform that type of synchronization?

Perhaps an option would be to add some sort of global lock in the kernel
which the cpuidle driver can grab before issuing the SMC instruction.

I don't think so:
# grep PM_SLEEP /boot/config-3.18.0-trunk-armmp-lpae 
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP=y
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_DEBUG=y

I don't see anything about cpuidle in dmesg either.

Did you perhaps mean CPU_IDLE rather than PM_SLEEP because:
# CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is not set

Yes, I think that would have the same effect as disable PM_SLEEP (at
least regarding the powergate stuff that's conflicting with the PSCI
implementation).

Note also, as mentioned in another reply, that with the PSCI support
there's now two sources that can simultaneously access the powergate
functionality in the PMC. We have some locking in place to make sure
that concurrent accesses from within the kernel are serialized, but
there's no mechanism in place to protect from concurrent accesses in
secure firmware and the kernel.

I don't have any good ideas on how to solve this nicely. The best I
could come up with is to make sure that we grab a lock before doing
any PSCI calls from the kernel and release the lock upon return.

The docs are on another machine, but I take it the PMC registers are
available to NS mode? Is that configurable (from S mode) perhaps?

I don't see how that's relevant. Even if it was possible to secure the
registers against access from NS mode, there's no way we could do that
because many drivers rely on controlling their power domain using that
functionality.

Or perhaps I misunderstand what you're suggesting.

If the PMC registers aren't available to NS then the damage the
powergate driver can do by conflicting with PSCI is more limited i.e not
going to fry the h/w somehow.

Currently the arm and arm64 arch interfaces are a little different, but
with some work the bulk of the code could certainly be made common
(in drivers/firmware, perhaps).

PSCI assumes that the FW is in full control of the registers it's
poking. While a lock isn't necessarily bad, I suspect it's going to be
very difficult to have that common across all users without the code
becoming unmaintainable fast. I'd also hope that for arm64 we wouldn't
need it.

When/how/why does the kernel to poke these registers?

The PMC is what controls power partitions. Some of these partitions are
assigned to CPUs, others are assigned to things like SATA, PCIe, display
and so on. The problem is that if we manage the CPU power partitions via
the firmware, then they will conflict with calls that we need to make
from other drivers that need to gate or ungate the partitions for their
hardware. As I understand it there's no provision in PSCI to manage non-
CPU devices,

It sounds like what we figured out internally is roughly what I stated
above:

Allocate some SMC calls in the SIP and/or OEM Service Calls range for
vendor-specific device power management, and have the implementation on
the secure side (which would do the actual register poking) arbitrate
with any other secure-side access to those registers (i.e. CPU power
management, which it will already have to arbitrate).

Thanks,
Mark.
