Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/arm: Switch OMAP5 secondary cores into hyp mode
Hello Julien, I put my two cents in: On 18.07.19 13:09, Julien Grall wrote: On 7/17/19 10:55 PM, Denis Obrezkov wrote: Hi, Hi, Well, Xen has been supported the omap5 for quite a while.

It works on Jacinto6 (dra7xx) with modifications in u-boot. As suggested in 4557c2292854d047ba8e44a69e2d60d99533d155. I'd cite the message: As part of this change drop support for switching from secure mode to NS HYP as well as the early CPU kick. Xen now requires that it is launched in NS HYP mode and that firmware configure things such that secondary CPUs can be woken up by a primarly CPU in HYP mode. This may require fixes to bootloaders or the use of a boot wrapper. I'm not sure what Chen upstreamed for OMAP5. Prior to 4557c2292 there is no mode switch code for omap5. Maybe, it was a switch in u-boot from the beginning. If we are talking about beagleboard-x15 it has no OMAP5, but has Sitara AM5728 SoC. Surprisingly, in am57xx-beagle-x15-common.dtsi, I see the following: compatible = "ti,am572x-beagle-x15", "ti,am5728", "ti,dra742", "ti,dra74", "ti,dra7"; I guess we also need another patch which adds "ti,am5728" as the platform supported by XEN. Looking at the mailing list archive and wiki, I believe 2) is closer to the current reality. So this raise the question whether your patch will break any existing setup. I'd bet, the patch will not break support of any existing setup. OMAP5 is discontinued long ago. Jacinto6 (dra7xx) is from a conservative automotive world. Existing setups likely would not be updated. At least blindly. (I hope). Sitara SoC's are not supported yet. if none is received then please go ahead resending a version with my analysis From my point of view, the commit message should describe, that we are switching from the model suggested in 4557c2292854d047ba8e44a69e2d60d99533d155 to a different one. With the appropriate reasoning, e.g. aligning to Linux kernel. -- Sincerely, Andrii Anisov. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel

Don't get me wrong, the code is perfectly fine as, to the best of my knowledge, it matches what Linux does.

Cheers, I hoped to hear more opinions because I don't really understand where to start - I don't know much about how xen and Linux worked with omap5. I am afraid I never had the chance to use the omap5. I provided an analysis in my first answer based on my finding. This is the kind of things I would expect in the commit message. However, I would like more opinions from people who have been working with the omap5 platform. I would give until Monday for an answer, if none is received then please go ahead resending a version with my analysis.

Hi Denis,

This function allows xen to bring secondary CPU cores into non-secure
HYP mode. This is done by using a Secure Monitor call.
As I pointed out in the previous version, the current code is likely
working on some omap5 platform. So your commit message should provide
some information on why this is necessary and on which platform (i.e
beagleboard x15).
It would be nice to also have summary of why it is fine to extend to all
the omap5 platform. For reminder, below the analysis I wrote earlier on:
I am trying to understand how this ever worked. omap5_smp_init is called
by two sets of platforms (based on compatible):
- ti,dra7: there were some hacks in U-boot to avoid the SMC. If I am
right, then I would not bother to support hacked U-boot.
- ti,omap5: [1] suggest that U-boot do the switch for us but it is
not clear whether this is upstreamed. @Chen, I know you did the port a
long time ago. Do you recall how this worked?
Linux seems to use the smc on any dra7 and omap54xx. So maybe we can use
safely here.
