Subject: [PATCH] drm/panfrost: Ignore core_mask for poweroff and sync interrupts

Some SoCs may be equipped with a GPU containing two core groups
and this is exactly the case of Samsung's Exynos 5422 featuring
an ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU: the support for this GPU in Panfrost
is partial, as this driver currently supports using only one
core group and that's reflected on all parts of it, including
the power on (and power off, previously to this patch) function.

The issue with this is that even though executing the soft reset
operation should power off all cores unconditionally, on at least
one platform we're seeing a crash that seems to be happening due
to an interrupt firing which may be because we are calling power
transition only on the first core group, leaving the second one
unchanged, or because ISR execution was pending before entering
the panfrost_gpu_power_off() function and executed after powering
off the GPU cores, or all of the above.

Finally, solve this by changing the power off flow to
1. Mask and clear all interrupts: we don't need nor want any, as
we are polling PWRTRANS anyway;
2. Call synchronize_irq() after that to make sure that any pending
ISR is executed before powering off the GPU Shaders/Tilers/L2
hence avoiding unpowered registers R/W; and
3. Ignore the core_mask and ask the GPU to poweroff both core groups

Of course it was also necessary to add a `irq` variable to `struct
panfrost_device` as we need to get that in panfrost_gpu_power_off()
for calling synchronize_irq() on it.

Could we split that in two patches? 1+2 in one patch, and 3 in another.
These are two orthogonal fixes IMO.

I know it's the only irq being stored at the panfrost_device level, but
I think it's clearer if we explicitly prefix it with gpu_.

I kinda agree with that, but that's not exactly why we're
masking+syncing IRQs here. If that was the only reason, the right fix
would be to modify GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL so it doesn't include the PWRTRANS
bits.

This fix should cover more than just the power transition IRQ use case:
we want all IRQs to be disabled before the device is suspended.

Could we move that to a panfrost_gpu_suspend_irq() helper? I'm also not
sure making it part of panfrost_gpu_power_off() is a good idea. I'd
rather have this panfrost_gpu_suspend_irq() helper called from
panfrost_device_[runtime_]suspend(), along with
panfrost_{mmu,job}_suspend_irq().

It was safe before too, it's just that we probably don't want to be
interrupted, if all we do is ignore the interrupts we receive, hence
the suggestion to not use GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL, and only enable the
IRQs we care about instead.

I really think we should have a helper doing the 'write(PWROFF_{LO,HI} +
poll(PWRTRANS_{LO,HI})' sequence, similar to what's done here [1][2],
such that, once we got it right for one block, we have it working for
all of them. And if there's a fix to apply, it automatically applies
to all blocks without having to fix the same bug in each copy.

Note that these panthor_gpu_block_power_{on,off}() helpers also handle
the case where power transitions are already in progress when you ask a
new power transition, which I don't think is checked in
panfrost_gpu_power_{off,on}().

Not introduced by the patch, but I noticed args passed on the second
line are no longer aligned on the open parens.

My initial idea was exactly that, but I opted for one patch doing 'em all
because a "full fix" comprises all of 1+2+3: the third one without the
first two and vice-versa may not fully resolve the issue that was seen
on the HC1 board.

So, while I agree that it'd be slightly more readable as a diff if those
were two different commits I do have reasons against splitting.....

Eh I should reword that, effectively, because what I wrote as comments make
sense (as in, the logic of it completes) only if you read both of them "as one".

I'll do that in the new suspend irq helper :-)

Okay I will move that to a helper, but I still want to clarify:
- For JOB, we're checking if panfrost_job_is_idle() before trying
to runtime_suspend() (hence before trying to power off cores),
so implicitly no interrupt can fire I guess? Though there could
still be a pending ISR there too.... mmh. Brain ticking :-)
- For MMU, we're not checking anything, but I guess that if there
is no job, the mmu can't be doing anything at all?
...but then you also gave me the doubt about that one as well.

What I think that would be sensible to do is to get this commit as
a "clear" fix for the "Really power off" one, then have one or more
additional commit(s) without any fixes tag to improve the IRQ suspend
with the new mmu/job irq suspend helpers.

Of course *this* commit would introduce the panfrost_gpu_suspend_irq()
helper directly, instead of moving the logic to a helper in a later one.

Any reason against? :-)

In theory yes, in practice the Odroid HC1 board crashed :-P

...technically yes, but practically this driver doesn't currently support any
GPU that even fills the _LO registers.

I guess that we can do that later?

That's just to (paranoidly) avoid any risk to introduce other regressions in
this merge window, since we're fixing one that shouldn't have happened in the
first place...

I admit I didn't analyze the panthor driver - but here, the only power transitions
that may happen are either because of panfrost_gpu_power_on(), or because of
panfrost_gpu_power_off(), and both are polling and blocking... so from what I
understand, there's no possibility to have "another" power transition happening
while calling poweron, or poweroff.

That would change if we start to selectively turn on and off a number of shaders
and/or a number of tilers (not all of them) depending on the workload, but we're
not doing that...

...yet?

Sorry for the double reply - I just noticed that you're seeing this misalignment
because I had a *local* commit introducing that but, on linux-next, this is not
present, so there's no misalignment to fix........ :-)

Guess it depends how you see it. I'd argue that these are 2 orthogonal
bugs, and the suspend fix might be worth backporting to older versions.

If we just need a quick fix to avoid PWRTRANS interrupts from kicking
in when we power-off the cores, I think we'd be better off dropping
GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] from the value we write to GPU_INT_MASK
at [re]initialization time, and then have a separate series that fixes
the problem more generically.

There's indeed no reason to see job interrupts if we're asked to enter
suspend, but it's mostly a matter of safety/correctness. If, as
expected, there's no pending interrupt, the write(_INT_MASK) +
synchronize_irq() should be relatively cheap.

Same here, if we've properly flushed all jobs, and handled all pending
interrupts, we shouldn't end up with pending MMU irqs when we're asked
to suspend. But the extra mask+synchronize_irq() buys us extra safety.

If you need a self-contained fix to avoid power transition interrupts
messing up with suspend, then, as I suggested, it might make more sense
to drop GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] when writing GPU_INT_MASK, which
you want anyway, to avoid being interrupted when you do power
transitions.

Just to be clear, it's not the accesses to the PWROFF/PWRTRANS
registers in this function that were causing the crash, it's the fact we
were writing to those regs, and leaving the corresponding interrupt
unprocessed before returning from panfrost_device[_runtime]_suspend().

Once we have a solution that works for all use cases, it can work for
the limited set we support at the moment :P.

Sure, that was more of a follow-up patch suggestion.

Agreed, but if that's the goal, then I'd go for the simpler change I
suggested above (dropping GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] from the
interrupt mask altogether). This way you don't have to worry about
receiving power transition interrupts in the first place, and you also
save interrupt context switching time when you power on the various
blocks.

Well yes, in theory there's no reason to have more than one transition
happening at a given time (that's assuming power transition never time
out, or if they do, the system gets back to an idle state before we try
to do the next power transition). It's just that, if it ever happens,
for any reason, we'd be safe against this unexpected situation, for a
cost that's relatively low (just an extra register read if things are in
the expected idle state).

Definitely not saying we should do that in this patch, but I think we
should do anything we can do to improve robustness, assuming the cost
of these extra checks is acceptable (we're not really in a fastpath
here).

Yes, but older versions are not affected by this regression because the GPU
was never turned off for real... so this commit is really fixing just the
issues that came out *because* of the "Really power off" commit, which is
not worth backporting as we already saw one regression with that and doing
such thing would be mostly dangerous.

If your suggestion was to backport 1+2 instead, I disagree: there are no
suspend instabilities in older kernel versions, so we'd be fixing something
that anyway always worked fine for years.

This is to say: the "Really power off" code should be treated like a commit
that implements a new feature, rather than fixing an old one, *only* because
there is a possibility to create regressions somehow (again, we already had
one).

At least IMO...

There's a lot of room for improvement in Panfrost, on that I agree.

I meant, your 'ignore-core_mask' fix + the
'drop GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED[_ALL] in GPU_INT_MASK' one.

It's a half-baked solution for the missing irq-synchronization-on-suspend
issue IMHO. I understand why you want it all in one patch that can serve
as a fix for 123b431f8a5c ("drm/panfrost: Really power off GPU cores in
panfrost_gpu_power_off()"), which is why I'm suggesting to go for an
even simpler diff (see below), and then fully address the
irq-synhronization-on-suspend issue in a follow-up patchset.

...but if we do that, the next patch(es) will contain a partial revert of this
commit, putting back this to gpu_write(pfdev, GPU_INT_MASK, GPU_IRQ_MASK_ALL)...

I'm not sure that it's worth changing this like that, then changing it back right
after :-\

Anyway, if anyone else agrees with doing it and then partially revert, I have no
issues going with this one instead; what I care about ultimately is resolving the
regression ASAP :-)

We probably want a comment here:

Why should we revert it? We're not processing the PWRTRANS interrupts
in the interrupt handler, those should never have been enabled in the
first place. The only reason we'd want to revert that change is if we
decide to do have interrupt-based waits in the poweron/off
implementation, which, as far as I'm aware, is not something we intend
to do any time soon.

Update: I was running some (rather fast) tests here because I ... felt like playing
with it, basically :-)

So, I had an issue with MediaTek platforms being unable to cut power to the GPU or
disable clocks aggressively... and after trying "this and that" I couldn't get it
working (in runtime suspend).

Long story short - after implementing `panfrost_{job,mmu,gpu}_suspend_irq()` (only
gpu irq, as you said, is a half solution), I can not only turn off clocks, but even
turn off GPU power supplies entirely, bringing the power consumption of the GPU
itself during *runtime* suspend to ... zero.

The result of this test makes me truly happy, even though complete powercut during
runtime suspend may not be feasible for other reasons (takes ~200000ns on AVG,
MIN ~160000ns, but the MAX is ~475000ns - and beware that I haven't run that for

This means that I will take a day or two and I'll push both the "simple" fix for
the Really-power-off and also some more commits to add the full irq sync.

Do you know what's taking so long? I'm disabling clks + the main power
domain in panthor (I leave the regulators enabled), but I didn't get to
measure the time it takes to enter/exit suspend. I might have to do
what you did in panfrost and have different paths for system and RPM
suspend.

Thanks for working on that, and sorry if I've been picky in my previous
reviews. Looking forward to review these new patches.

Boris

That's SoC dependant... there's only one way to get runtime suspend right in terms
of timing, and that is to select what to do there on a per-SoC basis: this is why
some of them will take lots of time to turn off (or on!) clocks, because clock
controllers are not all equal: this is not only in relation to different vendors
(as in, rockchip vs nxp vs mediatek vs qcom vs...) but also for different parts
from the same vendor (as in, MSM8953 uses different clock controllers compared to
SM8350 and MT6795 different compared to MT6985 and MT8195).

Some of them will require a long time to turn on a PLL mainly because "locking the
PLL" (read: waiting until the PLL outputs a certain clock rate in a stable manner)
may take time, or some could lose time by waiting for ungating... though, usually
clock controllers take no time to *turn off* a clock, but needs a bit more time to
turn them *on* (which matters in runtime resume, but not much in system pm resume).

The situation is exactly the same in regard to power supplies: some may need a bit
of time to turn on/off a power *domain* (not MTK's case), some lose time turning
on/off a regulator instead.

Related to the case of my MediaTek platforms (MT8192, MT8195, MT8186), the power
domains go on/off in nanoseconds, same for clocks (as the clock tree uses a generic
PLL for init, then switches to a GPU-dedicate with "you being picky" :-)d PLL which
anyway doesn't require a
lot of time to reach lock state), but turning off the *Vgpu* (gpu core supply)
regulator takes "all that much".

So the only solution to do that on a per-SoC basis would be to have the code to
turn on/off clocks and regulators in a barrier, and have it in both runtime PM
*and* system PM, and to select - for each SoC - what to do such that the driver is
able to do *either of*:

- Runtime PM only PWRTRANS (beware: power domains off implicit, in all cases!)
- Runtime PM PWRTRANS + clocks off
- Runtime PM PWRTRANS + clocks off + regulators off

- System PM RPM() only
- System PM RPM() + clocks off (only if not done already in RPM)
- System PM RPM() + clocks off + regulators off (only if not done already in RPM)

...at least, that's to reach an "almost perfect" power save tuning on *all*, but
the shortest path is obviously to leave the "clocks off + regulators off" code in
System PM only, as that's something that 99.9% of the SoCs would support.

I'd be happy to find a (clean) solution to add what I described to Panfrost (and
would be reusable in Panthor, I believe) but I don't know if I'd be able to put
something on the table for this merge window anyway.

Many times, being picky means reaching a better solution, and this is one of those
cases: there's no need to be sorry (not to me at least).

I appreciate when others are giving out valuable *and constructive* feedback, which
again, this was the case - so thank you for "being picky"! :-)

Angelo
