Subject: [PATCH] sysfs, device-tree: aid for debugging device tree boot problems

Create some infrastructure to aid trouble shooting device tree related
boot issues.

Add a %driver_name file to each device tree node sysfs directory which has had
a driver bound to it. This allows detecting device tree nodes which failed
to be bound to any driver.

Examples of using the %driver_name file (note that /proc/device-tree is a
link to the base of the device tree sysfs tree):


1) To find list of device tree nodes with no driver:

# A few false positives may be reported. For example,
# node_full_path of "." is the board.
#
# output is: node_full_path compatible_string
#
cd /proc/device-tree
for k in `find . -type d`; do
if [[ -f ${k}/compatible && ! -f ${k}/%driver_name ]] ; then
if [[ "`cat ${k}/compatible`" != "simple-bus" ]] ; then
echo `echo ${k} | sed -e 's|./||'` `cat ${k}/compatible`
fi
fi
done | sort


2) To find list of device tree nodes with a bound driver:

# output is: node_full_path driver_name
#
cd /proc/device-tree
for k in `find . -name %driver_name` ; do
echo `echo ${k} | sed -e 's|./||' -e 's|/%driver_name$||'` `cat ${k}`
done | sort


3) To find list of device tree nodes with a bound driver:

# output is: driver_name node_full_path
#
cd /proc/device-tree
for k in `find . -name %driver_name` ; do
echo `cat ${k}` `echo ${k} | sed -e 's|./||' -e 's|/%driver_name$||'`
done | sort

Why is this needed, shouldn't there already be a "driver" symlink in
sysfs for these devices when a driver binds to them? The rest of the
driver model works that way, why is of devices any different?

If we take this patch, these examples should be somewhere in the
documentation to make it easy for others.

Minor nit, your From: line doesn't match this signed-off-by: so
something has to change (or add a new From: line, like SubmittingPatches
decribes how to do.)

Because it hasn't been added yet! I only just committed the change to
convert device_nodes into kobjects in v3.14. The next step is to add
driver symlinks.

That said, the devicetree node is already exposed in the uevent for a
device. It should already be possible to find all device tree nodes that
don't have a device, or devices without a driver:

To get a list of all nodes:

find /proc/device-tree/ -type d | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'

or a little more nuanced, only choosing nodes with a compatible property:

for k in `find /proc/device-tree/ -name compatible`; do
echo $(dirname $k) | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'
done | sort

It can get even more refined than that if need be.

To get a list of all nodes with a device that has been created:

for k in `find devices -name uevent`; do
grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
done | sort

To get a list of all nodes with a device that has been bound to a driver:

for k in `find devices -name uevent`; do
if [[ -d $(dirname $k)/driver ]]; then
grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
fi
done | sort


The suggestions you have below would be the anything in the first list
that isn't in the second or third:

bound=$(for k in `find /sys/devices -name uevent`; do
if [[ -d $(dirname $k)/driver ]]; then
grep '^OF_FULLNAME' $k | sed -e 's/OF_FULLNAME=//'
fi
done)

nodes=$(for k in `find /proc/device-tree/ -name compatible`; do
echo $(dirname $k) | sed -e 's/\/proc\/device-tree//'
done | sort)

for n in $nodes; do
if ! echo $bound | grep -q "$n"; then
echo $n $(cat /proc/device-tree/$n/compatible)
fi
done

Yes, the devices do have a "driver" symlink in sysfs.

The problem I had was that I could not deterministically determine the
device name in /sysfs that was associated with a device tree node that
the device was created for. And I couldn't find a link from the device
tree entries to the device tree node.

Grant's reply to your email provided the solution to my problem; the
device uevents file contains the full device tree path of the associated
device tree node.

Grant's reply removes the need for my patch.

That is a good idea. I'll package up the equivalent shell code from
Grant's email. Any suggestions on location?

scripts/debug/devicetree/
scripts/devicetree/debug/
Documentation/devicetree/scripts/

If there is no good location in the kernel tree, then I will put them
either on the devicetree wiki, or the devicetree section of the
elinux wiki.

No need to add a "driver" symlink. The device directories in sysfs already
have a driver symlink.

Sorry, I meant of_node symlink. That is the bit I've been planning to add.
