Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] K3 R5F & DSP IPC-only mode support

Hi All,

The following is a revised version (v3) of the series that adds the
IPC-only mode support for the TI K3 R5F and DSP (C66x and C71x) remoteprocs
covering AM65x, J721E, J7200, AM64x and the recently added J721S2 SoCs.
Patches are on top of 5.17-rc2 (since rproc-next is baselined on rc2).

Please see the v1 cover-letter [1] for the design details of the
'IPC-only' mode functionality.

The following are the main changes w.r.t v2 [2], please see the individual
patches for the exact deltas:
- The first patch in v2 "remoteproc: Add support for detach-only during
shutdown" is dropped
- Added a new "remoteproc: Change rproc_shutdown() to return a status"
patch as the first patch in v3.
- Adjusted the K3 R5F and DSP remoteproc drivers to invoke
rproc_detach() in the case of IPC-only mode during teardown

The following is a summary of patches in v3:
- Patch 1 enhances the remoteproc core to return a status for
rproc_shutdown() that is in turn returned in the sysfs and cdev
interfaces. This replaces the flag-based logic in v2 and is used to
return an error for K3 SoCs that don't supply a .stop() ops in
IPC-only mode.
- Patches 2 and 4 refactor the mailbox request code out of start
in the K3 R5F and DSP remoteproc drivers for reuse in the new attach
callbacks.
- Patch 3 adds the IPC-only mode support for R5F.
- Patch 5 adds the IPC-only mode support for both K3 C66x and C71x
DSPs.

I have re-verified the different combinations on J721E, J7200 and AM65x
SoCs. AM64x currently lacks early-boot support, but the logic is ready
for Single-CPU and Split modes that are specific to AM64x SoCs. J721S2
doesn't have either early-boot support yet, and the dts nodes are also
not added yet, but I have tested locally using additional patches.

regards
Suman

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] remoteproc: k3-r5: Add support for IPC-only mode for all R5Fs

Add support to the K3 R5F remoteproc driver to configure all the R5F
cores to be either in IPC-only mode or the traditional remoteproc mode.
The IPC-only mode expects that the remote processors are already booted
by the bootloader, and only performs the minimum steps required to
initialize and deinitialize the virtio IPC transports. The remoteproc
mode allows the kernel remoteproc driver to do the regular load and
boot and other device management operations for a R5F core.

The IPC-only mode for a R5F core is detected and configured at driver
probe time by querying the System Firmware for the R5F power and reset
state and/or status and making sure that the R5F core is indeed started
by the bootloaders, otherwise the device is configured for remoteproc
mode.

Support for IPC-only mode is achieved through .attach(), .detach() and
.get_loaded_rsc_table() callback ops and zeroing out the regular rproc
ops .prepare(), .unprepare(), .start() and .stop(). The resource table
follows a design-by-contract approach and is expected to be at the base
of the DDR firmware region reserved for each remoteproc, it is mostly
expected to contain only the virtio device and trace resource entries.

NOTE:
The driver cannot configure a R5F core for remoteproc mode by any
means without rebooting the kernel if that R5F core has been started
by a bootloader. This is the current desired behavior and can be
enhanced in the future if the feature is needed.

This change surfaced some complex issue in the K3 core: Turning on the
RTI1 watchdog also powers up R5F core 1. And this could happen either in
U-Boot or in the kernel. If the kernel finds the core running, it also
expects a resource table in the reserved RAM. But as the core is
supposed to start via remoteproc, there is none, rather often garbage.
Sometimes, a consistency check catches that, but not always:

(this crash was with a stable kernel, but same issue with head of tree)

This raises several questions:
- Is it a hardware property that RTI1 powers up core 1 as well?
- If so, how can we use both watchdog and remoteproc so that the latter
loads the firmware for the former? We are currently doing that from
U-Boot, but what if that is not desired? Should the watchdog driver
take care to not leave core 1 in a different power state behind?
- Can and should we do more while parsing the resource table to prevent
such crashes?

When writing "... also powers up...", other than R5F core 1, what else is being
powered?

If I understand correct and strictly addressing the Linux case, the R5F is
configured to operate in split mode and both cores are off. An RTI1 watchdog
happens, which has the side effect of turning on core 1. At some later time core
1 is turned on from the sysfs interface, the remoteproc driver recognizes that
it is already powered and as such enacts the "attach" scenario. That leads to a
crash because the resource table hasn't been loaded into memory.

Is this a proper description?

Right, stable or head the result would be the same.

I will leave that question to the TI guys.

Making sure core1 is turned off by the watchdog driver is a solution but based
on how the HW is behaving and when the interrupt service routine runs, there
may be a race condition when core1 is genuinely enabled.

That's a tricky question. The kernel's firmware subsystem ensures the validity
of the ELF image by looking at the image's magic number. But for the attach()
case only the address of the resource table is provided, and that resource table
doesn't have a magic number. As such I am not sure that is it possible to parse
the resource table that is provided while keeping things generic. That said,
I'm open to ideas.

Since this is a platform problem I think the checks need to happen in
k3_r5_get_loaded_rsc_table(). I can't advise on what those should be since I do
not have the HW.

Would be a question for the SoC vendor - I assumed that only mcu_rti1
[1] goes on when enabling it. But also mcu_r5fss0_core1 is enabled after
that, at least according to the respective TI-SCI query that the is_on
handler is performing. I've tested that under Linux and in U-Boot.

Almost: The watchdog device (rti_wdt [2]) is probed before
k3-r5-remoteproc. This comes with powering up rti1, and that turns on R5
core 1 as well. There is no watchdog fired.

After that, the k3-r5 driver probes the available cores, finds the
second one enabled, and goes down the IPC-only road for it.

Yes, that worries me as well. In Linux, watchdog and the R5 cores have
no explicit dependency, although you need a firmware on the cores so
that the watchdog event is handled (it does not trigger a hw reset
directly, sadly, that's why there is [3] eg.). That could also cause
probing to happen in parallel, in theory.

Sure, thanks nevertheless.

As described in section 12.5.2.1 of AM64x TRM
(https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/SPRUIM2) -There is a RTI for each CPU core.
And it is not intended to be use RTI provisioned for a particular CPU
core with a different core.
And also as shown in section (5.2.2.2.1.3.1) the CPU core and
corresponding RTI share the same power sub module (LPSC), so enabling
one powers on the other.

As Suman suggested, it seems more appropriate to enable the RTI watchdog
timers in the remoteproc driver. Legacy omap remoteproc drivers have
this support and needs to be extended to k3 remoteproc drivers.
Another option could be to DEFER RTI probe until corresponding
remoteproc driver is probed.

Any other solutions to maintain this order of enabling remote core and
the corresponding RTI/WDT?
