Subject: [PATCH v4] dt-bindings: riscv: deprecate riscv,isa

From: Conor Dooley <[email protected]>

intro
=====

When the RISC-V dt-bindings were accepted upstream in Linux, the base
ISA etc had yet to be ratified. By the ratification of the base ISA,
incompatible changes had snuck into the specifications - for example the
Zicsr and Zifencei extensions were spun out of the base ISA.

Fast forward to today, and the reason for this patch.
Currently the riscv,isa dt property permits only a specific subset of
the ISA string - in particular it excludes version numbering.
With the current constraints, it is not possible to discern whether
"rv64i" means that the hart supports the fence.i instruction, for
example.
Future systems may choose to implement their own instruction fencing,
perhaps using a vendor extension, or they may not implement the optional
counter extensions. Software needs a way to determine this.

versioning schemes
==================

"Use the extension versions that are described in the ISA manual" you
may say, and it's not like this has not been considered.
Firstly, software that parses the riscv,isa property at runtime will
need to contain a lookup table of some sort that maps arbitrary versions
to versions it understands. There is not a consistent application of
version number applied to extensions, with a higgledy-piggledy
collection of tags, "bare" and versioned documents awaiting the reader
on the "recently ratified extensions" page:
https://wiki.riscv.org/display/HOME/Recently+Ratified+Extensions

As an aside, and this is reflected in the patch too, since many
extensions have yet to appear in a release of the ISA specs,
they are defined by commits in their respective "working draft"
repositories.

Secondly, there is an issue of backwards compatibility, whereby allowing
numbers in the ISA string, some parsers may be broken. This would
require an additional property to be created to even use the versions in
this manner.

~boolean properties~ string array property
==========================================

If a new property is needed, the whole approach may as well be looked at
from the bottom up. A string with limited character choices etc is
hardly the best approach for communicating extension information to
software.

Switching to using properties that are defined on a per extension basis,
allows us to define explicit meanings for the DT representation of each
extension - rather than the current situation where different operating
systems or other bits of software may impart different meanings to
characters in the string.
Clearly the best source of meanings is the specifications themselves,
this just provides us the ability to choose at what point in time the
meaning is set. If an extension changes incompatibility in the future,
a new property will be required.

Off-list, some of the RVI folks have committed to shoring up the wording
in either the ISA specifications, the riscv-isa-manual or
so that in the future, modifications to and additions or removals of
features will require a new extension. Codifying that assertion
somewhere would make it quite unlikely that compatibility would be
broken, but we have the tools required to deal with it, if & when it
crops up.
It is in our collective interest, as consumers of extension meanings, to
define a scheme that enforces compatibility.

The use of individual elements, rather than a single string, will also
permit validation that the properties have a meaning, as well as
potentially reject mutually exclusive combinations, or enforce
dependencies between extensions. That would not have be possible with
the current dt-schema infrastructure for arbitrary strings, as we would
need to add a riscv,isa parser to dt-validate!
That's not implemented in this patch, but rather left as future work (for
the brave, or the foolish).

parser simplicity
=================

Many systems that parse DT at runtime already implement an function that
can check for the presence of a string in an array of string, as it is
similar to the process for parsing a list of compatible strings, so a
bunch of new, custom, DT parsing should not be needed.
Getting rid of "riscv,isa" parsing would be a nice simplification, but
unfortunately for backwards compatibility with old dtbs, existing
parsers may not be removable - which may greatly simplify
dt parsing code. In Linux, for example, checking for whether a hart
supports an extension becomes as simple as:
of_property_match_string(node, "riscv,isa-extensions", "zicbom")

vendor extensions
=================

Compared to riscv,isa, this proposed scheme promotes vendor extensions,
oft touted as the strength of RISC-V, to first-class citizens.
At present, extensions are defined as meaning what the RISC-V ISA
specifications say they do. There is no realistic way of using that
interface to provide cross-platform definitions for what vendor
extensions mean. Vendor extensions may also have even less consistency
than RVI do in terms of versioning, or no care about backwards
compatibility.
The new property allows us to assign explicit meanings on a per vendor
extension basis, backed up by a description of their meanings.

fin
===

Create a new file to store the extension meanings and a new
riscv,isa-base property to replace the aspect of riscv,isa that is
not represented by the new property - the base ISA implemented by a hart.

As a starting point, add properties for extensions currently used in
Linux.

Finally, mark riscv,isa as deprecated, as removing support for it in
existing programs would be an ABI break.

Changes in v4:
- Drop the ACPI section at Anup's request.
- Pick up tags from Rob.
- Reword some counter access clarification bits in I & Zicsr.

Changes in v3:
- Per Rob's suggestion, switch to an array of strings. Cuts down on the
size, compared to booleans. It has a standard mechanism for parsing
(you need to parse arrays of strings for compatibles). It still allows
for having a limited set of explicitly defined properties - so the
advantages over a free-form string still apply.
- Pick up Palmer's Ack and Review (although I expect that he will be the
one to apply this).

This generally LGTM. I'm fine taking this for the current merge window.

I've got some stuff in flight: first some stuff that's being staged, and
then some stragglers from the lists. I'm going to take Saturday off and
handle that on Sunday, so I probably wont get to this until late Sunday
or Monday (assuming nothing goes too far off the rails).

Unless there's any opposition I'll pick it up when it comes back around
in a few days.

Sure, is just s/oneOf/anyOf/.

I guess this means a DT must have either isa or isa-base, but not both.
What should QEMU and other platforms which want to provide DTs that work
for older kernels, but also start using the new schema do? I'd guess
they'd like to provide both, where they'd expect isa-base to be used by
newer kernels and isa by the old.

Thanks,
