[v5,1/5] arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for A-008585 erratum

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be
used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision
register from common arch timer code would be awkward.  So, describe it
in the device tree.

Hi,

The changes in arm64's <asm/arch_timer.h> are going to conflict with
some cleanup [1,2] that just landed in the arm64 for-next/core branch.

Could you please rebase atop of that?

This doesn't match the code, which doesn't seem to write TVAL at all,
and instead does the work manually, reading CNTVCT then writing to CVAL.
Please update the patch description.

Following recent cleanup, please use read_sysreg().

Rather than defining a number of inline functions here as wrappers for
read_sysreg(), can we pass the reg name down instead? e.g.

#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FSL_ERRATUM_A008585)
extern struct static_key_false arch_timer_read_ool_enabled;
#define needs_fsl_a008585_workaround() \
	static_branch_unlikely(&arch_timer_read_ool_enabled)
#else
#define needs_fsl_a008585_workaround()	false
#endif

#define arch_timer_unstable_reg_read(reg)		\
({							\
	if (needs_fsl_a008585_workaround())		\
		return __fsl_a008585_read_##reg();	\
	else						\
		return read_sysreg(reg);		\
})

... with __fsl_a008585_read_{cntp_tval_el0,cntv_tval_el0,cntvct_el0}
defined appropriately in the driver code.

Please add ARCH_TIMER_REG_CVAL to enum arch_timer_reg, and move these
accesses into arch_timer_reg_write_cp15().

Please:

* Rename this to __fsl_a008585_read_reg, as it's used for registers
  other than the counters.

* Make this a macro, to which the register name is passed in, such that
  it can use read_sysreg(), as with my suggestion above regarding how to
  restructure the function.

* Move this into the ifdef'd block in the arm64 header, leaving the
  callers where they are in the driver code.

Nit: use 'old' and 'new', so as to not imply that this applies (only) to
CNT{V,P}_CVAL.

Nit: s/timeout/retries/

What's the ISB for?

The core should order accesses to the same counter, and any ISB required
for ordering against other counters should already be present. So I
don't follow what this is trying to achieve.

If this is necessary, please add a comment explaining what it is
intended to ensure.

With the above suggestion, these will need to be renamed to something
like:

	__fsl_a008585_read_{cntvct_el0,cntv_tval_el0,cntp_tval_el0}

I'm not keen on the magic hook to reset the function pointers, and the
additional phys/virt stubs seem pointless. Instead, can we fold this
into the existing set_next_event? e.g. have that do:

	if (needs_fsl_a008585_workaround() {
		fsl_a008585_set_next_event(access, evt, clk);
		return;
	}

... with a stub BUILD_BUG() fsl_a008585_set_next_event() when
!CONFIG_FSL_ERRATUM_A008585, and:

#ifndef needs_fsl_a008585_workaround
#define needs_fsl_a008585_workaround()	false
#endif

... in the driver, so as to not cause issues for 32-bit.

Can we move the next patch before this, and avoid messing with the name
entirely?

Well, we should figure out what tree this is going through first. There
are a mixture of arm, arm64, driver and dts changes here and not all
of it is carrying the appropriate acks for me to queue it.

Given that mix, I had assumed that this would all go through the arm64
tree -- I see that Rob has already acked the binding, and I'm happy to
give my ack for the driver once that's in shape.

The dts change could go through arm-soc in parallel, I guess. It doesn't
look like arm-soc have been Cc'd for that, though.

Thanks,
Mark.

Now I see that I'd missed the arch/arm changes in patch 4, which lack a
relevant ack.

Given that, I don't know what to suggest.

Thanks,

I wouldn't mind delaying patch 4 until it gets acked by RMK, as it
doesn't impact the functionality.

The arm-soc section of MAINTAINERS says to e-mail linux-arm-kernel, which I
did.  There doesn't appear to be a separate arm-soc mailing list, nor is there
a request to CC Olof/Arnd.  I did CC Shawn Guo who has been handling the
device tree patches for these chips.

Mark asked me to move that patch before the workaround patch, to avoid ever
having to add more code that messes with the name.  Should I keep the order as
is then?

Adding ARCH_TIMER_REG_CVAL to the enum means we get warnings from bunch of
switch statements that don't actually need a CVAL implementation -- or else we
have to add untested CVAL accessors for arm32 and mmio.  The arm32 part would
add another dependency on getting an ack from RMK, that can't be postponed as
easily as the archdata/vdso patch.

Since this is specific to an erratum rather than general cval support, I can
move the accesses into fsl_a008585_set_next_event (and convert to
write_sysreg).

I think it may have been a leftover from early patch versions when this
function was entirely replacing arch_counter_get_cntvct().  I'm not sure why I
put it in the loop, though.

OK.  I had been trying to avoid messing with the standard set_next_event, but
it doesn't matter as much now that static branches are being used.  In that
case we can avoid duplicating the ctrl code, and only replace the tval write.

That is the right way to do it. If the DT change is a bugfix that should
get merged along with the rest, Shawn can also provide an Ack to have it
merged through the arm64 tree, ideally warning us if there might be any
conflicts with stuff that gets sent for arm-soc.

That's annoying. Never mind, then.

Ok. I think that's preferable given we have no other users.

Reconsidering my suggestion, I realise this will also affect the MMIO
timers, so that doesn't work.

So for the moment, I guess we have to keep fsl_a008585_set_next_event().

Yes; at this stage I think we have to.

What is the problem with MMIO timers?  needs_fsl_a008585_workaround() should
always be false for them.

As suggested, needs_fsl_a008585_workaround() takes no parameter, and
set_next_event is called for both cp15/sysreg and MMIO timers. So it
would either be true for all, or false for all.

If it's true for all, we'd end up calling fsl_a008585_set_next_event()
for the MMIO timers too.

Thanks,
Mark.

There should not be any MMIO timers on a system where
fsl_a008585_set_next_event() returns true.

I'm generally not keen on relying on that.

For reference, are no MMIO timers implemented at all, or are they simply
not listed in the DT today?

Mark.

This is kind of new feature development, and there is no hard dependency
between driver and DTS changes.  In this case, we normally pick up the
DTS patch only after driver part get accepted.

As far as I can tell they're not implemented, but it's possible I'm just not
looking at the right documentation.  

I agree though that depending on that isn't particularly pretty.  I'll stick
with the current approach for set_next_event().
