Subject: [PATCH] powercap: intel_rapl: fix CONFIG_IOSF_MBI dependency

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

When the intel_rapl driver is built-in, but iosf_mbi is a loadable module,
the kernel fails to link:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `set_floor_freq_atom':
intel_rapl_common.c:(.text+0x2dac9b8): undefined reference to `iosf_mbi_write'
x86_64-linux-ld: intel_rapl_common.c:(.text+0x2daca66): undefined reference to `iosf_mbi_read'

The driver can work with iosf_mbi completely disabled, so add a dependency
that still allows this configuration, but otherwise forces it to not be
built-in when iosf_mbi is a loadable module.

IMO, it is the intel_rapl_common.c that calls IOSF APIs without
specifying the dependency. Thus it should be fixed by something like
below,

Subject: [PATCH] powercap/intel_rapl: Fix CONFIG_IOSF_MBI dependency

After commit 3382388d7148 ("intel_rapl: abstract RAPL common code"),
accessing to IOSF interface is done in the RAPL common code.

Thus it is the CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL_CORE that has dependency of
CONFIG_IOSF_MBI, while CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL_MSR does not.

This problem was not exposed previously because all the previous RAPL
common code users, aka, the RAPL MSR and MMIO I/F drivers, have
CONFIG_IOSF_MBI selected.

Fix the CONFIG_IOSF_MBI dependency in RAPL code. This also fixes a build
time failure when the RAPL TPMI I/F driver is introduced without
selecting CONFIG_IOSF_MBI.

On the other side, I agree with you that the TPMI driver should work
with iosf_mbi completely disabled.

A cleaner way to do this is to move the rapl_defaults setting (even the
rapl_primitive_info setting) from intel_rapl_common.c to the I/F
drivers, as this is really interface specific.

Maybe we can use the above patch as a quick fix, and remove the
IOSF_MBI dependency from RAPL common code as a long term solution?

I think that has the logic slightly backwards from a usability point
of view: The way I read the arch/x86/Kconfig description, IOSF_MBI
is a feature of specific Intel hardware implementations, which
gets enabled when any of these SoC platforms are enabled in
the build, and the INTEL_RAPL driver specifically only works
on those, while the new INTEL_RAPL_TPMI driver works on other
hardware.

More generally speaking, I think it is a mistake for a device
driver in one subsystem to use 'select' to enforce a build
dependency on a driver in another subsystem when the other
symbol is user-visible.

I agree that your long-term solution is the best way to avoid the
build dependency, but for the short-term fix I think my patch
makes a little more sense than yours.

Either approach is of course enough to address the build
regression, so no objections to your patch if you still
prefer that.

IOSF_MBI is already selected from multiple places and while you can
argue that they are all mistakes, this particular new one would not be
worse than any of them.

IMO it would be better if IOSF_MBI were not user-visible (and
interestingly enough, whoever selects it should also select PCI or
depend on it - I'm not really sure if that dependency is taken care of
in all cases).

Agreed.
Even the previous RAPL code does not select PCI or depend on it.

Let me refresh the patch and resend.
