cover at91 : cleanup pm.h

This patchset makes some cleanup and fix the rm9200 code by replacing the standby routine by a asm routine where we have a better control.

This patchset has been tested on a sam9263, compiled on the other platform but not tested because I don't have the hardware.

This is my first attempt for an asm arm routine ...

PATCH 1/4 at91 : coding style fixes

This patch is mindless and does only fix the line length. The purpose is to facilitate the review of the next patches.

In reply to Daniel Lezcano

Add the header and define the macro to prevent multiple inclusion like the others headers.

PATCH 3/4 at91 : remove wait_for_interrupt definition

In reply to Daniel Lezcano

All the "wait_for_interrupt" definition are aliases to cpu_do_idle. Only the rm9200 has an asm routine to switch to wfi. But the cpu_do_idle for this platform has exactly the same asm routine.

arch/arm/mm/proc-arm920.S
...
ENTRY(cpu_arm920_do_idle)
mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c0, 4 @ Wait for interrupt
...

Then it is safe to invoke cpu_do_idle for this platform. As all the wait_for_interrupts are definition for cpu_do_idle, let's remove it and replace its invokation by cpu_do_idle.

This patch looks like an improvement. Though, because you are removing all of the definitions of wait_for_interrupt_enable in this patch, it doesn't seem worth fixing the coding style of them in patch 1 of this series.

PATCH 4/4 at91 : implement the standby function for pm/cpuidle

In reply to Daniel Lezcano

This patch groups the self-refresh on/cpu_do_idle/self-refresh off into a single 'standby' function.

The standby routine for rm9200 has been turned into an asm routine to have a better control of the self refresh and to prevent a memory access when running this code.

Draining the write buffer is done automatically when switching for the self refresh on sam9, so the instruction is added to the rm9200 only.

PATCH 4/4 at91 : implement the standby function for pm/cpuidle

Quoted 11 lines · Daniel Lezcano

This patch groups the self-refresh on/cpu_do_idle/self-refresh off into a single 'standby' function.

The standby routine for rm9200 has been turned into an asm routine to have a better control of the self refresh and to prevent a memory access when running this code.

Draining the write buffer is done automatically when switching for the self refresh on sam9, so the instruction is added to the rm9200 only.

I don't think is an improvement. Russell's suggestion was to convert the pm operations into a structure, like:

struct at91_pm_ops {
	u32  (*sdram_selfrefresh_enable)(void);
	void (*sdram_selfrefresh_disable)(u32 saved_lpr);
};

This structure should be integrated into soc.h. Note that at91_init_soc is __initdata, so you can't use that directly, but the basic principle is the same.

Quoted 1 line

From there, move the pm functions for each platform to their respective

core file. For example, move the at91rm9200 functions to at91rm9200.c, something like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_PM
static u32 at91rm9200_sdram_selfrefresh_enable(void)

{
        u32 saved_lpr = at91_sys_read(AT91_SDRAMC_LPR);

        at91_sys_write(AT91_SDRAMC_LPR, 0);
        at91_sys_write(AT91_SDRAMC_SRR, 1);
        return saved_lpr;
}

static void at91rm9200_sdram_selfrefresh_disable(u32 saved_lpr)

{
	at91_sys_write(AT91_SDRAMC_LPR, saved_lpr);
}

static struct at91_pm_ops at91rm9200_pm_ops = {
.sdram_selfrefresh_enable = at91rm9200_selfrefresh_enable, .sdram_selfrefresh_disable = at91rm9200_selfrefresh_disable,
};
#endif /* CONFIG_PM */

Then register at91rm9200_pm_ops structure some way similar to how the at91_init_soc is done. This will mean that the pm ops for all of the at91 platforms can be compiled into a single kernel without all of the ifdef crud.

Thanks,
~Ryan

PATCH 4/4 at91 : implement the standby function for pm/cpuidle

Quoted 15 lines · Ryan Mallon
Quoted 11 lines · Daniel Lezcano

This patch groups the self-refresh on/cpu_do_idle/self-refresh off into a single 'standby' function.

The standby routine for rm9200 has been turned into an asm routine to have a better control of the self refresh and to prevent a memory access when running this code.

Draining the write buffer is done automatically when switching for the self refresh on sam9, so the instruction is added to the rm9200 only.

Quoted 7 lines

I don't think is an improvement. Russell's suggestion was to convert the pm operations into a structure, like:

struct at91_pm_ops {
	u32  (*sdram_selfrefresh_enable)(void);
	void (*sdram_selfrefresh_disable)(u32 saved_lpr);
};

Actually no, that was my first suggestion. I then went on to a second suggestion, which is what Daniel has implemented.

The improvement is we've gone from this:

		asm("b 1f; .align 5; 1:");
		asm("mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c10, 4");	/* drain write buffer */
		cpu_do_idle();
		sdram_selfrefresh_disable(saved_lpr);

which is really undefined, and may break with a later compiler, to:

	u32 lpr = at91_sys_read(AT91_SDRAMC_LPR);

	asm volatile(
		"b    1f\n\t"
		".align    5\n\t"
		"1:  mcr    p15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 4\n\t"
		"    str    %0, [%1, %2]\n\t"
		"    str    %3, [%1, %4]\n\t"
		"    mcr    p15, 0, %0, c7, c0, 4\n\t"
		"    str    %5, [%1, %2]"

which gcc guarantees it won't insert instructions randomly into the middle of this.

So this is technically a far superior solution.

It also means that the implementation of at91_standby() can preserve as many registers as are necessary over the standby itself - it seems some AT91 SoCs require two registers rather than just one.

Ah, sorry. I seem to have missed the middle of the discussion :-).

Ok, I see.

After this patch we still have the limitation that only one at91 platform can be built into the kernel (this is an existing problem, which there is an on going effort to resolve) because the at91_standby function is defined via ifdefs. So the at91_standby define should still be converted to a function pointer and assigned via the soc right? Of course, this can be done in a subsequent patch.

Thanks,

Correct; that's something I did suggest.

Yes, this is what I planned to do but I wanted to bring this fix and do some code cleanup before switching this to an ops.

cover at91 : cleanup pm.h

In reply to Daniel Lezcano

This patchset makes some cleanup and fix the rm9200 code by replacing the standby routine by a asm routine where we have a better control.

This patchset has been tested on a sam9263, compiled on the other platform but not tested because I don't have the hardware.

This is my first attempt for an asm arm routine ...

Daniel,

You can add my:

to the whole patch series. Thanks for your work (and I am looking forward for your future improvements ;-)).

Best regards,
