cover irqchip/dra7: crossbar bug fixes

These are fixes for the crossbar to handle two interrupts getting mapped twice to same crossbar and to skip some interrupts being used due to hardware bugs.

Nishanth Menon (5):
irqchip: crossbar: dont use '0' to mark reserved interrupts
irqchip: crossbar: check for premapped crossbar before allocating
irqchip: crossbar: Skip some irqs from getting mapped to crossbar
irqchip: crossbar: Initialise the crossbar with a safe value
irqchip: crossbar: Change allocation logic by reversing search for
free irqs

PATCH 1/5 irqchip: crossbar: dont use '0' to mark reserved interrupts

From: Nishanth Menon <[email protected]>

Today '0' is actually reserved, but may not be the same in the future.

So, use a flag to mark the GIC interrupts that are reserved.

PATCH 2/5 irqchip: crossbar: check for premapped crossbar before allocating

In reply to Sricharan R

From: Nishanth Menon <[email protected]>

If irq_of_parse_and_map is executed twice, the same crossbar is mapped to two different GIC interrupts. This is completely undesirable. Instead, check if the requested crossbar event is pre-allocated and provide that GIC mapping back to caller if already allocated.

PATCH 3/5 irqchip: crossbar: Skip some irqs from getting mapped to crossbar

In reply to Sricharan R

From: Nishanth Menon <[email protected]>

When, in the system due to varied reasons, interrupts might be unusable due to hardware behavior, but register maps do exist, then those interrupts should be skipped while mapping irq to crossbars.

PATCH 3/5 irqchip: crossbar: Skip some irqs from getting mapped to crossbar

When, in the system due to varied reasons, interrupts might be unusable due to hardware behavior, but register maps do exist, then those interrupts should be skipped while mapping irq to crossbars.

Just wondering, instead of hardcoding this data in the code, and introducing additional flags (IRQ_SKIP), why not just put these GIC IRQs in the ti,irq-reserved property in DTS for platforms where such IRQs are not usable. That way you're skipping these IRQs anyway.

Also that would avoid adding more hard coded data for future SoCs into the source for such IRQs that must be skipped, and also reduces LOC.

thanks,

Just wondering, instead of hardcoding this data in the code, and introducing additional flags (IRQ_SKIP), why not just put these GIC IRQs in the ti,irq-reserved property in DTS for platforms where such IRQs are not usable. That way you're skipping these IRQs anyway.

Also that would avoid adding more hard coded data for future SoCs into the source for such IRQs that must be skipped, and also reduces LOC.

Good question - lets try to explain the hardware a little here -> obviously a driver that cannot use the hardware is useless compared to reducing LOC count ;).. and apologies about the long reply..

Basic understanding:
GIC has 160 SPIs and number of hardware block interrupt sources is around or more than 400. So, in comes crossbar - which is basically a mapper by allowing us to select an hardware block interrupt source (identified as crossbar_number or cb_no in code). So all we have to do is to write to a register in crossbar corresponding to GIC and viola, we now routed the interrupt source to a GIC interrupt of our choice. At least the Specification reads so.... until you drill down to the details.

A) You have 160 SPI GIC, and 152 crossbar registers. So, you have 8 GIC SPI interrupts that are hardwired. the reserved mapping basically marks these to indicate that we dont have registers. Example: 0 1 2 3 5
6 131 and 132
- Limitation today - if you want to use PMU for CPU0, SPI interrupt is 131, then if you define, in dts:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 131 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>
driver assumes it is crossbar number 131(reserved), Similarly:
GIC CS_CTI_MPU_C0_IRQ (SPI 1) is ELM_IRQ (crossbar 1)
GIC CS_CTI_MPU_C1_IRQ (SPI 2) is EXT_SYS_IRQ_1 (crossbar 2) GIC MPU_CLUSTER_IRQ_AXIERR (SPI 3) is reserved (crossbar 3) GIC WD_TIMER_MPU_C0_IRQ_WARN (SPI 5) is L3_MAIN_IRQ_APP_ERR (crossbar 5) GIC WD_TIMER_MPU_C1_IRQ_WARN (SPI 6) is PRM_IRQ_MPU (crossbar 6) GIC MPU_CLUSTER_IRQ_PMU_C0 (SPI 131) is reserved (crossbar 131) GIC MPU_CLUSTER_IRQ_PMU_C1 (SPI 132) is reserved (crossbar 132)

As of today, we cannot differentiate in DTS if it is one of these "direct map" interrupts we are requesting or crossbar number we are requesting.

B) among the 152 cross bar registers, you have three sets:
B.1) The ones like Crossbar register 1 which maps to SPI4 - no problem -
you write the crossbar number you want to map, bingo, job done.
- The driver works brilliantly here. and this is true for 148 GIC SPIs.
B.2) The ones like 10 139 140 - these are interesting, because we have
crossbar registers corresponding to these, However writing anything to them has no impact - at least 10 is confirmed to have been hardwired to L3_APP_IRQ (but not documented), we are trying to get explanations for 139 and 140. - but there is strong indication based on testing performed that the registers are NOPs and GIC is hardwired in.

I had originally discovered 10, but only a day or so back did we understand what is going on, others we dont know yet.
B.3) 133 is a variation to B.2 - There is an magical efuse register
which controls if the GIC is hardwired or not. when the efuse bit is 0, it behaves like B.1(program and it works), but almost all silicon have it set to "hardwired mode" :(

The following you wont find in any TRM, and is based on tests performed during the last few days - primarily meant to illustrate this.

So, to answer your question - I hope this explains skip and reserved. Now, we happily can handle case B.1 (148 SPI interrupts) - However,

The reason I requested this series to be blocked is:
a) We dont completely (yet) have explanation about hardware for B.2 139 and 140.
b) we definitely need to be able to request the interrupts of A, B.2, B.3 - and our framework as it stands right now fails.

NOTE:
obviously we claim dra7 compatibility. dra742 and 744 seem similar - but we dont have confirmation for the same yet. following device tree maintainer recommendations of having dts compatibility closely match with SoC behavior. yeah, we could make the driver too generic and move everything to dts.. but that does not seem to be the way we do things with dt.

Thanks for the long explanation and the diagrams!

Yes, I feel there is no other way and with so many HW bugs, I think it makes sense to make it a real irqchip driver.

Further since not everything goes through the crossbar and some are direct mapped like your diagram, the correct fix is probably making it an irqchip and doing the interrupt controller parenting correctly in DT.

That would take care of A), because users of such direct mapped interrupts will go through the GIC interrupt controller directly.

It will also take care of B), because if writing to cross bar has no effect for a particular IRQ, or if those IRQs are hard-wired to something, as you said, then that something should go through the GIC directly.

I can try to whip up something like this if it makes sense, let me know...

thanks,

So, to answer your question - I hope this explains skip and reserved. Now, we happily can handle case B.1 (148 SPI interrupts) - However,

The reason I requested this series to be blocked is:
a) We dont completely (yet) have explanation about hardware for B.2 139 and 140.
b) we definitely need to be able to request the interrupts of A, B.2, B.3 - and our framework as it stands right now fails.

NOTE:
obviously we claim dra7 compatibility. dra742 and 744 seem similar - but we dont have confirmation for the same yet. following device tree maintainer recommendations of having dts compatibility closely match with SoC behavior. yeah, we could make the driver too generic and move everything to dts.. but that does not seem to be the way we do things with dt.

PATCH 3/5 irqchip: crossbar: Skip some irqs from getting mapped to crossbar

From: Nishanth Menon <[email protected]>

When, in the system due to varied reasons, interrupts might be unusable due to hardware behavior, but register maps do exist, then those interrupts should be skipped while mapping irq to crossbars.

Quoted 8 lines

Just wondering, instead of hardcoding this data in the code, and introducing additional flags (IRQ_SKIP), why not just put these GIC IRQs in the ti,irq-reserved property in DTS for platforms where such IRQs are not usable. That way you're skipping these IRQs anyway.

Also that would avoid adding more hard coded data for future SoCs into the source for such IRQs that must be skipped, and also reduces LOC.

Good question - lets try to explain the hardware a little here -> obviously a driver that cannot use the hardware is useless compared to reducing LOC count ;).. and apologies about the long reply..

Quoted 8 lines

Basic understanding:
GIC has 160 SPIs and number of hardware block interrupt sources is around or more than 400. So, in comes crossbar - which is basically a mapper by allowing us to select an hardware block interrupt source (identified as crossbar_number or cb_no in code). So all we have to do is to write to a register in crossbar corresponding to GIC and viola, we now routed the interrupt source to a GIC interrupt of our choice. At least the Specification reads so.... until you drill down to the details.

Quoted 5 lines

Thanks for the long explanation and the diagrams!

Yes, I feel there is no other way and with so many HW bugs, I think it makes sense to make it a real irqchip driver.

It doesn't because its not an irqchip.

Quoted 8 lines

Further since not everything goes through the crossbar and some are direct mapped like your diagram, the correct fix is probably making it an irqchip and doing the interrupt controller parenting correctly in DT.

That would take care of A), because users of such direct mapped interrupts will go through the GIC interrupt controller directly.

Quoted 7 lines

It will also take care of B), because if writing to cross bar has no effect for a particular IRQ, or if those IRQs are hard-wired to something, as you said, then that something should go through the GIC directly.

I can try to whip up something like this if it makes sense, let me know...

I have been ignoring this series considering they were just fixes but you comments are like re-inventing wheel. Please read all the old threads and comments from Thomas and me on why we took approach and why it is not an irqchip. There is no need to complicate it further.

Santosh

Are you talking about the discussion on this thread?
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-August/194318.html

I didn't really get a sense that there was a common agreement that irqchip is not the way to go there. I can stand corrected if there was a common consensus that irqchip is not the right solution (with any specific comments why). There was a concern in the thread that making it irqchip doesn't help dma reuse the infrastructure, but that concern seems moot now that the driver is proposed to live in drivers/irqchip.

Further, I don't think my comments are re-inventing anything because the brand-new bugs that are being found now weren't found then and my comments were more related to these bugs.

As for complexity, it appears there will be signficant hacks coming up that are required to handle the corner cases by adding more lists and dt-properties. So its already on a complicated path.. Even with such hacks, Nishanth pointed out that the implementation can break. Its already like a deck of cards in my opinion and complicates things for everyone using it. You said you hadn't gone through the fixes in this series, you should go over them and see the new lists added to skip and reserve various things.

thanks,

-Joel

Obviously you haven't read all the threads... Please read [1]. There was a reason I said read *all* the threads. Because anyone who looks at this hardware IP block thinks it can be irqchip. You are not the first one who said that.

The concern was really not where the code resides but what the actual hardware is and how can it fit into Linux. The whole reason I was actually against irqhcip from beginning of crossbar series was the hardware is not irqchip rather just a router. Thomas the formally NAKed that approach on thread [1]. If there are bugs, doesn't mean we can make fit the hardware into some subsystem where it can't be described.

Yep - thanks Santosh for clarifying this. Now, we still have the issues that I pointed out in [1] - without resolving which, we should not enable crossbar for dra74x/72x.

A. taking example of PMU
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 131 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>
this wont work. instead the crossbar driver needs some sort of a hint to know that it should not map these on crossbar register instead assign GIC mapping directly.

I propose doing the following
#define GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(irq_no) ((irq_no) | (0x1 << 31))

and dts will define the following:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(131) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

This will also work for the other cases (B.2, B.3)

For B.2: L3_APP_IRQ:
instead of:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 5 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>
we do:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(10) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

For B.3: NMI
interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(133) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

We already have equivalents for these -> reserved and skip. Problem is how does crossbar driver know the difference between direct maps and crossbar value?

6 is one of those reserved ones. dts for a device says:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 6 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

Now, xlate gets intspec[1] = 6. 6 is valid crossbar number PRM_IRQ_MPU, however GIC 6 is mapped to WD_TIMER_MPU_C1_IRQ_WARN -> you need to be able to get a hint that this is direct mapping dts intended.

in the "6" example:

How do i get PRM_IRQ_MPU?
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 6 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

How do I get WD_TIMER_MPU_C1_IRQ_WARN?
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 6 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH> ????? - that wont work as crossbar driver thinks it is crossbar 6 (PRM_IRQ_MPU)

interrupts = <GIC_SPI 6 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH> ????? - that wont work as crossbar driver thinks it is crossbar 6 (PRM_IRQ_MPU)

Looks like I am missing something. Is the issue because of SPI offset (32) which makes above confusion ?

The way we modelled crossbar is that the irqchip is GIC and routable mapper is crossbar - which makes sense. now for every "interrupts" description we try to find a map using the crossbar driver as the irq framework rightly identifies that peripheral interrupts are routable and crossbar driver is the guy who knows how to map these to a proper GIC interrupt number. So far, we are good.

Now the trouble starts when our hardware description in dts assumes that every peripheral interrupt is a routable interrupt - as this thread describes - that is NOT the case.

Now the question is how do you differentiate?

interrupts = <GIC_SPI Number Level>

GIC_SPI is correct since we are attempting to describe the SPI interrupt (offset what ever it is, is a NOP from conceptual discussion).

Level is fine as well.

Number: what does this indicate? crossbar number is what we have assumed so far. however, then you loose the ability to describe interrupts on GIC SPI which dont have crossbar interrupts.

Question is how do we differentiate between the two?

Ok, thanks for pointing to the post.

Yep - thanks Santosh for clarifying this. Now, we still have the issues that I pointed out in [1] - without resolving which, we should not enable crossbar for dra74x/72x.

A. taking example of PMU
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 131 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>
this wont work. instead the crossbar driver needs some sort of a hint to know that it should not map these on crossbar register instead assign GIC mapping directly.

I propose doing the following
#define GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(irq_no) ((irq_no) | (0x1 << 31))

and dts will define the following:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(131) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

This will also work for the other cases (B.2, B.3)

Quoted 9 lines

For B.2: L3_APP_IRQ:

interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(133) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

Quoted 2 lines

ti,irqs-direct-map = <131 132>;

We already have equivalents for these -> reserved and skip. Problem is how does crossbar driver know the difference between direct maps and crossbar value?

6 is one of those reserved ones. dts for a device says:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 6 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

Now, xlate gets intspec[1] = 6. 6 is valid crossbar number PRM_IRQ_MPU, however GIC 6 is mapped to WD_TIMER_MPU_C1_IRQ_WARN -> you need to be able to get a hint that this is direct mapping dts intended.

IMO even the direct-mapped ones can go come from a list, trouble is with the buggy hardware hard-coded mappings which map some random crossbar to some random GIC and can't be changed.

Only way to handle this is with a sort of an associative map in DT, not a list. But that's far more overkill than anyone could imagine, and the suggestion to set BIT 31 is cleaner without needing any lists at all, while hiding all the complexity within the crossbar driver. After xlate, the IRQ number is corrected, so the flag disappears, and the info that its DIRECT can be stored to retrieved later during map/unmap.

Updating the thread about an off-list discussion on $subject. Nishant understood the how he was indirectly changing the meaning of IRQ bindings and why its a bad idea. The point which didn't came out clearly on the list was also the limited set of route-able IRQ registers at cross-bar which is utter non-sense and broken hardware. And since we are patching up the cross-bar hardware bugs, it should be done such a way that the cross-bar device tree bindings reflect that.

Here is the way forward we decided...
Add additional/optional properties to cross-bar binding so that you can represent IRQs which can't be routed by cross-bar. Something like 'MAX_ROUTABLE_IRQS'.

Then on the cleint modules which has the shortcoming, you just add MAX_ROUTABLE_IRQS to those IRQs. That way cross-bar driver fails to route them and just returns the offset IRQline thinking it is already hard wired.

As a proof of concept I suggest you to just create a bidnig patch with example usage of such case in the Documentation and send it for review.

Copy Device Tree folks and Thomas to see if they are ok with it or can suggest some better way to deal with the issue.

Thanks for the patience and explaining the issue repeatedly.

Santosh

That wont work for cases where the cross bar has hardware bugs as Nishanth pointed in his example.

For such cases, you need to differentiate between a "direct-map" GIC IRQ and a regular working logical cross-bar number.

For example, what if IRQ no 10 has a crossbar bug? Does this mean you will also make crossbar number (not IRQ no, logical cross bar no) also suffer?

The way to fix this is like Nishanth pointed by introducing some encoding or flag:

For someone using the logical cross bar, they would say:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 10 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

and in the same dts, for someone else who is using the direct-mapped buggy IRQ 10, they would use the the PASSTHROUGH flag:
interrupts = <GIC_SPI GIC_CROSSBAR_PASSTHROUGH(10) IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>

In this case, a "direct-map" list as you suggested doesn't work.

PATCH 4/5 irqchip: crossbar: Initialise the crossbar with a safe value

In reply to Sricharan R

From: Nishanth Menon <[email protected]>

Since crossbar is s/w configurable, the initial settings of the crossbar cannot be assumed to be sane. This implies that:
a) On initialization all un-reserved crossbars must be initialized to a known 'safe' value.
b) When unmapping the interrupt, the safe value must be written to ensure that the crossbar mapping matches with interrupt controller usage.

So provide a safe value in the compatible data to map if '0' is not safe for the platform and use it during init and unmap

Looks good!

I tested this patch series (plus the necessary dts changes) on a DRA7xx-EVM with the work in progress VIP driver which needs a crossbar mapping otherwise it won't get any interrupts (using 3.15-rc4 kernel). It boots cleanly and interrupts are firing for VIP, so everything working for me.

Without this patch series I can't even get the DRA7xx EVM to boot with IRQ crossbar support enabled so this is a big improvement.
