v2 cover ARMv7: add PSCI support to u-boot

PSCI is an ARM standard that provides a generic interface that supervisory software can use to manage power in the following situations:
- Core idle management
- CPU hotplug
- big.LITTLE migration models
- System shutdown and reset

It basically allows the kernel to offload these tasks to the firmware, and rely on common kernel side code.

More importantly, it gives a way to ensure that CPUs enter the kernel at the appropriate exception level (ie HYP mode, to allow the use of the virtualization extensions), even across events like CPUs being powered off/on or suspended.

The main idea here is to turn some of the existing u-boot code into a separate section that can live in secure RAM (or a reserved page of memory), containing a secure monitor that will implement the PSCI operations. This code will still be alive when u-boot is long gone, hence the need for a piece of memory that will not be touched by the OS.

This patch series contains 4 parts:
- the first four patches are just bug fixes
- the next three refactor the HYP/non-secure code to allow relocation in secure memory
- the next three contain the generic PSCI code and DT infrastructure
- the last three implement the CPU_ON method of the Allwinner A20 (aka sun7i).

I realize the A20 u-boot code is not upstream yet (BTW is anyone actively working on that?), but hopefully that should give a good idea of how things are structured so far. The patches are against the sunxi u-boot tree as of today, and the first 10 patches will directly apply to mainline u-boot.

As for using this code, it goes like this:
sun7i# ext2load mmc 0:1 0x40008000 zImage ; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x60000000 sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dtb 2270120 bytes read in 117 ms (18.5 MiB/s)
9138 bytes read in 3 ms (2.9 MiB/s)
sun7i# fdt addr 0x60000000 ; fdt resize ; fdt set ethernet0 mac-address "[5a fe b0 07 b0 07]" sun7i# setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/backup/a20_root,tcp sun7i# bootz 0x40008000 - 0x60000000

The kernel now boots in HYP mode, finds its secondary CPU without any SMP code present in the kernel, and runs KVM out of the box. Hopefully, the Xen/ARM guys can do the same fairly easily.

This code has also been tested on a VExpress TC2, running KVM with all 5 CPUs, in order to make sure there was no obvious regression.

I'm wildly cross-posting this patch series, including to lists I'm not subscribed to. Please keep me on Cc for any comment you may have.

Cheers,

PATCH v2 2/13 ARM: HYP/non-sec: move switch to non-sec to the last boot phase

In reply to Marc Zyngier

Having the switch to non-secure in the "prep" phase is causing all kind of troubles, as that stage can be called multiple times.

Instead, move the switch to non-secure to the last possible phase, when there is no turning back anymore.

PATCH v2 4/13 ARM: non-sec: reset CNTVOFF to zero

In reply to Marc Zyngier

Before switching to non-secure, make sure that CNTVOFF is set to zero on all CPUs. Otherwise, kernel running in non-secure without HYP enabled (hence using virtual timers) may observe timers that are not synchronized, effectively seeing time going backward...

PATCH v2 5/13 ARM: add missing HYP mode constant

In reply to Marc Zyngier

In order to be able to use the various mode constants (far more readable than random hex values), add the missing HYP and A values.

Also update arm/lib/interrupts.c to display HYP instead of an unknown value.

In anticipation of refactoring the HYP/non-secure code to run from secure RAM, add a new linker section that will contain that code.

Nothing is using it just yet.

PATCH v2 7/13 ARM: HYP/non-sec: allow relocation to secure RAM

In reply to Marc Zyngier

The current non-sec switching code suffers from one major issue:
it cannot run in secure RAM, as a large part of u-boot still needs to be run while we're switched to non-secure.

This patch reworks the whole HYP/non-secure strategy by:
- making sure the secure code is the *last* thing u-boot executes before entering the payload
- performing an exception return from secure mode directly into the payload
- allowing the code to be dynamically relocated to secure RAM before switching to non-secure.

This involves quite a bit of horrible code, specially as u-boot relocation is quite primitive.

PATCH v2 7/13 ARM: HYP/non-sec: allow relocation to secure RAM

Hi Marc,

Quoted 16 lines · Marc Zyngier

The current non-sec switching code suffers from one major issue:
it cannot run in secure RAM, as a large part of u-boot still needs to be run while we're switched to non-secure.

This patch reworks the whole HYP/non-secure strategy by:
- making sure the secure code is the *last* thing u-boot executes before entering the payload
- performing an exception return from secure mode directly into the payload
- allowing the code to be dynamically relocated to secure RAM before switching to non-secure.

This involves quite a bit of horrible code, specially as u-boot relocation is quite primitive.

It seems like patch 07/13 does not apply properly on top of current ARM. Can you have a look? If a rebased V3 is needed, you can remove patch 01 from the list (or if it is simpler to you, keep it in and I'll just ignore it when applying).

PATCH v2 9/13 ARM: HYP/non-sec: add the option for a second-stage monitor

In reply to Marc Zyngier

Allow the switch to a second stage secure monitor just before switching to non-secure.

This allows a resident piece of firmware to be active once the kernel has been entered (the u-boot monitor is dead anyway, its pages being reused).

The kernel now boots in HYP mode, finds its secondary CPU without any SMP code present in the kernel, and runs KVM out of the box. Hopefully, the Xen/ARM guys can do the same fairly easily.

Indeed, I booted with this series on a cb2 and Xen SMP Just Worked.

Cool! Can you push the u-boot code you're using to your u-boot repo:

The kernel now boots in HYP mode, finds its secondary CPU without any SMP code present in the kernel, and runs KVM out of the box. Hopefully, the Xen/ARM guys can do the same fairly easily.

Indeed, I booted with this series on a cb2 and Xen SMP Just Worked.

Cool! Can you push the u-boot code you're using to your u-boot repo:
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/ianc/u-boot.git;a=summary

? that will save me reproducing your work.

I've just created
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/u-boot.git wip/psci

The mirrors seem a bit slow at the moment, but they should hopefully catch up.

v2 cover ARMv7: add PSCI support to u-boot

In reply to Marc Zyngier

Hi Marc,

Quoted 51 lines · Marc Zyngier

PSCI is an ARM standard that provides a generic interface that supervisory software can use to manage power in the following situations:
- Core idle management
- CPU hotplug
- big.LITTLE migration models
- System shutdown and reset

It basically allows the kernel to offload these tasks to the firmware, and rely on common kernel side code.

More importantly, it gives a way to ensure that CPUs enter the kernel at the appropriate exception level (ie HYP mode, to allow the use of the virtualization extensions), even across events like CPUs being powered off/on or suspended.

The main idea here is to turn some of the existing u-boot code into a separate section that can live in secure RAM (or a reserved page of memory), containing a secure monitor that will implement the PSCI operations. This code will still be alive when u-boot is long gone, hence the need for a piece of memory that will not be touched by the OS.

This patch series contains 4 parts:
- the first four patches are just bug fixes
- the next three refactor the HYP/non-secure code to allow relocation in secure memory
- the next three contain the generic PSCI code and DT infrastructure
- the last three implement the CPU_ON method of the Allwinner A20 (aka sun7i).

I realize the A20 u-boot code is not upstream yet (BTW is anyone actively working on that?), but hopefully that should give a good idea of how things are structured so far. The patches are against the sunxi u-boot tree as of today, and the first 10 patches will directly apply to mainline u-boot.

As for using this code, it goes like this:
sun7i# ext2load mmc 0:1 0x40008000 zImage ; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x60000000 sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dtb 2270120 bytes read in 117 ms (18.5 MiB/s)
9138 bytes read in 3 ms (2.9 MiB/s)
sun7i# fdt addr 0x60000000 ; fdt resize ; fdt set ethernet0 mac-address "[5a fe b0 07 b0 07]" sun7i# setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/backup/a20_root,tcp sun7i# bootz 0x40008000 - 0x60000000

The kernel now boots in HYP mode, finds its secondary CPU without any SMP code present in the kernel, and runs KVM out of the box. Hopefully, the Xen/ARM guys can do the same fairly easily.

This code has also been tested on a VExpress TC2, running KVM with all 5 CPUs, in order to make sure there was no obvious regression.

There are comments re 01/13 an 07/13. Should I expect a V3 on the U-Boot ML?

Yes. As I said yesterday, I plan to address the comments pretty quickly (during the weekend anyway), and repost a new version on the same mailing lists.
