Subject: Locking in the clk API, part 2: clk_prepare/clk_unprepare

I think that clk_prepare/clk_unprepare looks like the most promising solution,
so will try to get some preliminary patches done. Here's what I'm planning:

-----

The changes to the API are essentially:

1) Document clk_enable/clk_disable as callable from atomic contexts, and
so clock implementations must not sleep within this function.

2) For clock implementations that may sleep to turn on a clock, we add a
new pair of functions to the clock API: clk_prepare and clk_unprepare.

These will provide hooks for the clock implmentation to do any sleepable
work (eg, wait for PLLs to settle) in preparation for a later clk_enable.

For the most common clock implemntation cases (where clocks can be enabled
atomically), these functions will be a no-op, and all of the enable/disable
work can be done in clk_enable/clk_disable.

For implementations where clocks require blocking on enable/disable, most
of the work will be done in clk_prepare/clk_unprepare. The clk_enable
and clk_disable functions may be no-ops.

For drivers, this means that clk_prepare must be called (and have returned)
before calling clk_enable.

== Enable/Prepare counts ==

I intend to do the enable and prepare "counting" in the core clock API,
meaning that that the clk_ops callbacks will only invoked on the first
prepare/enable and the last unprepare/disable.

== Concurrency ==

Splitting the prepare and enable stages introduces the concurrency
requirements:

1) clk_enable must not return before the clock is outputting a valid clock
signal.

2) clk_prepare must not return before the clock is fully prepared (ie, it is
safe to call clk_enable).

It is not possible for clk_enable to wait for the clock to be prepared,
because that would require synchronisation with clk_prepare, which may then
require blocking. Therefore:

3) The clock consumer *must* respect the proper ordering of clk_prepare and
clk_enable. For example, drivers that call clk_enable during an interrupt
must ensure that the interrupt handler will not be invoked until
clk_prepare has returned.

== Other considerations ==

The time that a clock spends "prepared" is a superset of the the time that a
clock spends "enabled". Therefore, clocks that are switched on during
clk_prepare (ie, non-atomic clocks) will be running for a larger amount of
time. In some cases, this can be mitigated by moving some of the final
(atomic) switching functionality to the clk_enable function.

== Implementation ==

Basically:

struct clk {
const struct clk_ops *ops
int enable_count;
spinlock_t enable_lock;
int prepare_count;
struct mutex prepare_lock;
};

int clk_enable(struct clk *clk)
{
int ret = 0;

spin_lock(&clk->enable_lock);
if (!clk->enable_count)
ret = clk->ops->enable(clk);

if (!ret)
clk->enable_count++;
spin_unlock(&clk->enable_lock);

return ret;
}

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
int ret = 0;

mutex_lock(&clk->prepare_lock);
if (!clk->prepare_count)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);

if (!ret)
clk->prepare_count++;
mutex_unlock(&clk->prepare_lock);

return ret;
}

Comments welcome, code coming soon.

Cheers,


Jeremy

Do you plan to handle the case that clk_enable is called while prepare
isn't completed (considering the special case "not called at all")?
Maybe BUG_ON(clk->ops->prepare && !clk->prepare_count)?

Alternatively don't force the sleep in clk_prepare (e.g. by protecting
prepare_count by a spinlock (probably enable_lock)) and call clk_prepare
before calling clk->ops->enable?

That might result in a driver working on some platforms(those have
atomic clk_prepare)
and not on others(those have sleeping).

That's a completely bad idea. I assume you haven't thought about this
very much.

There's two ways I can think of doing what you're suggesting:

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
unsigned long flags;
int ret = 0;

might_sleep();

spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->enable_lock, flags);
if (clk->prepare_count++ == 0)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->enable_clock, flags);

return ret;
}

The problem is that clk->ops->prepare() is called in a non-sleepable
context. So this breaks the whole idea of clk_prepare(), and so isn't
a solution.

The other solution is:

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
unsigned long flags;
int ret = 0;
bool first;

might_sleep();

spin_lock_irqsave(clk->enable_lock, flags);
first = clk->prepare_count++ == 0;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(clk->enable_clock, flags);

if (first)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);

return ret;
}

The problem with this is that you now don't have any sane locking on
the prepare callback, and the circumstances under which it's called
are very indefinite. For example, consider a preempt-enabled system:

thread 1 thread 2 prepare_count
clk_prepare 0
clk->prepare_count++ 1
<thread switch>
clk_prepare 1
clk->prepare_count++ 2
clk_prepare returns 2

clk_enable 2
<explodes as clock is not prepared>
<thread switch>
clk->ops->prepare(clk)

So really, what you're suggesting is completely broken.

The first option has the same result. E.g. on some platforms
clk->ops->prepare might be NULL, on others it's not.

Right, but I thought it a bit further than you did. Like the following:

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
int ret = 0, first;
unsigned long flags;

spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->enable_lock, flags);
if (clk->flags & CLK_BUSY) {
/*
* this must not happen, please serialize calls to
* clk_prepare/clk_enable
*/
ret = -EBUSY;
goto out_unlock;
}
first = clk->prepare_count++ == 0;
if (first)
clk->flags |= CLK_BUSY;
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->enable_lock, flags);

if (!first)
return 0;

if (clk->ops->prepare) {
might_sleep();
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);
}

spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->enable_lock, flags);
clk->flags &= ~CLK_BUSY;
if (ret)
clk->prepare_count--;
out_unlock:
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->enable_lock, flags);

return ret;
}

If you now find a problem with that you can blame me not having thought
it to an end.

And note, this is only a suggestion. I.e. I don't know what is the best
to do in the case where I implemented returning -EBUSY above. BUG?
Wait for CLK_BUSY to be cleared?

I'm not sure I like "clk_prepare sleeps iff unprepared but preparable".
Still I think the approach is worth to be discussed.

Uwe

How do different drivers serialize calls to clk_prepare? Are you
really suggesting that we should have a global mutex somewhere to
prevent this?

So what're you proposing that a driver writer should do when he sees
-EBUSY returned from this function? Abandon the probe() returning -EBUSY
and hope the user retries later? Or maybe:

do {
err = clk_prepare(clk);
} while (err == -EBUSY);

?

I don't think that's reasonable to offload this onto driver writers, who
already have a big enough problem already. The less complexity that
driver writers have to deal with, the better.

Hi Uwe,

Why is this an error? Two separate drivers may be clk_prepare()-ing at the
same time, which should be acceptable. Both calls should block until the
prepare is complete.

If clk->ops->prepare is NULL, then clk_prepare() better return success
as it should mean "no preparation necessary", not "someone didn't
implement it so its an error".

Calling clk->ops->enable() with a spinlock held will ensure that no one
tries to make that method sleep, so if people want sleeping stuff they
have to use the clk_prepare() stuff. It's a self-enforcing API which
ensures that we don't get sleeping stuff inside clk_enable().

And with a check in clk_enable() for a preparation, it helps to ensure
that drivers do call clk_prepare() before clk_enable() - though it can't
guarantee it in every case.

yeah, didn't thought about multiple consumers, so (as Jeremy suggested)
the right thing is to sleep until CLK_BUSY is cleared.

Full ack. (I wonder if you misunderstood me or wanted to put my
statement into more words. Jassi didn't like that a clk_enable without
a previous clk_prepare worked on some platforms and on others it
doesn't. With BUG_ON(clk->ops->prepare && !clk->prepare_count) in
clk_enable we have exactly this situation.)

A simpler way to write this is:

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
int ret = 0;

mutex_lock(&clk->mutex);
if (clk->prepared == 0)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);
if (ret == 0)
clk->prepared++;
mutex_unlock(&clk->mutex);

return ret;
}

I think we want to take a common mutex not only for clk_prepare(), but
also for clk_set_rate(). If prepare() is waiting for a PLL to lock,
we don't want a set_rate() interfering with that.

I'd also be tempted at this stage to build-in a no-op dummy clock,
that being the NULL clk:

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk)
{
int ret = 0;

if (clk) {
mutex_lock(&clk->mutex);
if (clk->prepared == 0)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);
if (ret == 0)
clk->prepared++;
mutex_unlock(&clk->mutex);
}

return ret;
}

as we have various platforms defining a dummy struct clk as a way of
satisfying various driver requirements. These dummy clocks are exactly
that - they're complete no-ops.

Even with a NULL clk->ops->prepare function, we still want drivers to
have called clk_prepare(). So we can do something like:

if (WARN_ON(clk->prepare_count == 0))
return -EINVAL;

in clk_enable() should be sufficient and noisy enough not to be missed.

I'd avoid BUG_ON() here as that will take the system down, which may
increase the chances of getting useful bug reports.

But you cannot call this in atomic context when you know the clock is
already prepared.

So? You're not _supposed_ to call it from any atomic context ever.

My motivation for a more complicated clk_prepare was to make clk_prepare
atomic when that's possible (i.e. when the clk is already prepared) and
call it before the enable callback in clk_enable. Then everything
behaves nicely even if clk_enable is called from atomic context provided
that the clock was prepared before (or doesn't need to).

If a driver writer doesn't know that a certain clock might need to sleep
at some point he runs into an atomic might_sleep with your approach and
with mine.

You really don't get the point of clk_prepare() do you. I'm not
going to bother trying to educate you anymore.

Hopefully someone with more patience can give you the necessary
teaching to make you understand.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

We _do_ want drivers to _always_ call clk_prepare() in sleepable
context, and _then_ always call clk_enable() in whatever context they
wish. Period.

Uwe,

If the driver is calling clk_prepare() right next to clk_enable()
knowing it's been already prepared and will hence be "atomic" (this is
actually not true), then by your description, it's pointless to call
clk_prepare().

If you want the driver to call clk_prepare() in atomic context because
it will be atomic in most cases -- well, that's wrong. It's either
atomic or is NOT atomic. There is no in between. If a call is NOT
atomic, it can't be called in atomic context. Long story short, if you
expect clk_prepare() to be atomic under any circumstance, it beats the
point of introducing clk_prepare().

Hope I helped.

Looks like this is the best acknowledgment/response I can expect to get
from Russell on this point that I raised.

Jeremy,

When you update the comments/doc to indicate clk_prepare/unprepare is
not atomic, can you also update the comment for set_rate() and mark it
as non-atomic?

Thanks for starting this thread. My efforts to reignite the other thread
didn't go anywhere. Glad to see it's moving forward.

Sorry, I've been up to my eyeballs with other stuff over the last few
weeks. Yes, I think clk_set_rate() needs to be sleep-able too.

Well not completely, as it increases the reference count. The advantage
would be that clk_enable counts addionally as prepare, so it would be
impossible to unprepare an enabled clock. And the other way round an
unprepared clock would never be enabled.

Well, with my suggestion it's atomic when certain precondions are given.
IMHO that's better than "atomic in most cases" because the caller can
assert that everything goes smooth.
These preconditions are asserted when the driver writer is careful
enough to stick to the API.

Either my idea is bad or I'm unable to sell it appropriately. Be it as
it is, I will stop to make a case for it.

Best regards and thanks for your try,
Uwe

This code will only catch the error when it actually happens and will
even miss catching some of them (if timed right -- unprepare happens in
the other core after this check is executed).

I really wish there was something better we could do to help driver devs
catch errors of calling enable without calling prepare(). Some thing
like spin lock debug, or the might_sleeps() inside mutexes, etc.

Hmm... Jeremy, how about doing a similar check in the unprepare code?
You could WARN/BUG ON the prepare count going to zero when the enable
count is still non-zero?

Thanks,
Saravana

I'm afraid this will hide enable/disable imbalances on some targets and
then expose them on others. Maybe its not a big problem though since
this also elegantly handles the root(s) of the tree.

You can't catch enable/disable imbalances in the prepare code, and you
can't really catch them in the unprepare code either.

Consider two drivers sharing the same struct clk. When the second driver
prepares the clock, the enable count could well be non-zero, caused by
the first driver. Ditto for when the second driver is removed, and it
calls unprepare - the enable count may well be non-zero.

The only thing you can check is that when the prepare count is zero,
the enable count is also zero. You can also check in clk_enable() and
clk_disable() that the prepare count is non-zero.

If you want tigher checking than that, you need to somehow identify and
match up the clk_prepare/clk_enable/clk_disable/clk_unprepare calls from
a particular driver instance. Addresses of the functions don't work as
you can't be certain that driver code will be co-located within a certain
range. Adding an additional argument to these functions which is driver
instance specific seems to be horrible too.

Having thought about it, I think it's not necessary to immediately catch
drivers that work on some platforms and not on others -- a mere comment
'please add clk_prepare' during code review or a patch adding 'clk_prepare'
later upon stumbling across a platform on which the driver doesn't work,
should be OK. Let us not fret about it.

That leaves us with only having to ensure that :-
a) No two calls to clk_prepare/unprepare _hooks_ are consecutive.
b) clk_prepare is done on the clock (not necessarily by the driver
under consideration) before calls to clk_enable.

I think (a) is already easily managed by having the prepare_count,
and (b) can be reasonably managed by what Russell suggests above.

So, FWIW, I am for the idea.

Njoi!

IMHO, clk_prepare is always called in non-atomic context, so it doesn't matter
whether it's really atomic or not. We don't have to make it as atomic as
possible.

but how can we check prepare count without mutex lock? Even if prepare count
is atomic_t, it can not guarantee the clock is actually prepared or unprepared.
So it's important for driver writer to maintain the call sequence.

I happily point out that the prepare_count needs to be protected by a
spinlock and you need a flag that signals a prepare or unprepare is
currently running.

Forget atomic_t - it's the most abused type in the kernel. Just because
something says its atomic doesn't make it so. In a use like this,
atomic_t just buys you additional needless complexity with no benefit.

Of course we can check the prepared count. What we can't do is check
that it doesn't change concurrently - but that's something we can't do
anyway.

int clk_enable(struct clk *clk)
{
unsigned long flags;
int ret = 0;

if (clk) {
if (WARN_ON(!clk->prepare_count))
return -EINVAL;

spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->lock, flags);
if (clk->enable_count++ == 0)
ret = clk->ops->enable(clk);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->lock, flags);
}
return ret;
}

is entirely sufficient to catch the case of a single-use clock not being
prepared before clk_enable() is called.

We're after detecting drivers missing calls to clk_prepare(), we're not
after detecting concurrent calls to clk_prepare()/clk_unprepare().

It's really simple. You don't use a struct clk pointer in any way until
you've called a clk_get() to get a pointer. So what's the problem with
ensuring that you do clk_prepare() on it before you register whatever
services may end up calling clk_enable().

That is good practice. It's precisely the same practice which says that
you shall not register device drivers with subsystems, thereby making
them visible, until you're absolutely ready in the driver to start taking
requests to use your driver. Precisely the same thing applies here.

In other words, to go back to the UART console driver case, in the
UART console setup function, you do this:

clk = clk_get(...);
if (IS_ERR(clk))
return PTR_ERR(clk);

err = clk_prepare(clk);
if (err) {
clk_put(clk);
return err;
}

rate = clk_get_rate(clk);
... setup UART, setup baud rate according to rate ...

return 0;

So, this means that clk_enable() in the console write function will not
be called until after the initialization function has finished - by which
time clk_prepare() will have completed.

There is no need for any kind of spinlocking, atomic types or other such
crap for the prepare count. We do not care about concurrent clk_enables().

The only time you'd need such games as you're suggesting is if you're still
promoting your idea about calling clk_prepare() from clk_enable() "in case
driver writers forget it", which is soo broken it's untrue.

I hope you mean 'making sure the clock is prepared before it's enabled
' rather than
'catching a driver that doesn't do clk_prepare before clk_enable'.
Because, the above implementation still doesn't catch a driver that
doesn't call clk_prepare
but simply uses a clock that happens to have been already prepare'd by
some other
driver or the platform.

No, I mean what I said.

The only way to do what you're asking is to attach a list of identifiers
which have prepared a clock to the struct clk, where each identifier is
unique to each driver instance.

So what that becomes is:

struct prepared_instance {
struct list_head node;
void *driver_id;
};

int clk_prepare(struct clk *clk, void *driver_id)
{
struct prepared_instance *inst;
int ret = 0;

if (clk) {
inst = kmalloc(sizeof(*inst), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!inst)
return -ENOMEM;

inst->driver_id = driver_id;

mutex_lock(&clk->mutex);
if (clk->prepare_count++ == 0)
ret = clk->ops->prepare(clk);

if (ret == 0) {
spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->lock, flags);
list_add(&inst->node, &clk->prepare_list);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->lock, flags);
} else
clk->prepare_count--;
mutex_unlock(&clk->mutex);
}
return ret;
}

int clk_enable(struct clk *clk, void *driver_id)
{
unsigned long flags;
int ret = 0;

if (clk) {
struct prepare_instance *inst;

spin_lock_irqsave(&clk->lock, flags);
list_for_each_entry(inst, &clk->prepare_list, node)
if (inst == driver_id)
ret = -EINVAL;

if (ret == 0 && clk->enable_count++ == 0) {
ret = clk->ops->enable(clk);
if (ret)
clk->enable_count--;
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&clk->lock, flags);
}
return ret;
}

I think that's going completely over the top, and adds needless complexity
to drivers, which now have to pass an instance specific cookie into every
clk API call.

Then, how does that function catch a driver that, say, doesn't do clk_prepare
but share the clk with another already active driver?
Because you said - "We're after detecting drivers missing calls to
clk_prepare()"

The point is, there is difference between detecting drivers that miss
the clk_prepare
and ensuring clk_prepare has been called before any call to
clk_enable. And making
that clear helps get rid of lots of confusion/misunderstanding. Uwe
seems to have
had similar confusions.

I am not asking what you think.
In my second last post, I am rather asking the other way around - that
let us not worry
about drivers missing the clk_prepare and not try to catch those by the new API.

Exactly.
All we need is to ensure clk_prepare has been called atleast once before
any call to clk_enable.

No. That means we have no way to flag a call to clk_enable on an
unprepared clock, and will lead to unexplained system lockups. What
I've been suggesting all along is the "best efforts" approach. I'm
sorry you can't see that, but that's really not my problem.

I described this fully in my reply to Stephen Boyd on 1st February,
which is a parent to this sub-thread.

Why do we not call parent's clk_enable in this function? For flexible? How many
different cases is causing us to move the effert to platform clock driver?

Same as above.
And for most clocks, prepare/unprepare may be NULL. So in such case, is it
better to call parent's prepare and increase its own prepare_count here?

You may notice that struct clk above doesn't have a parent.

Subject: [RFC,PATCH 1/3] Add a common struct clk

We currently have ~21 definitions of struct clk in the ARM architecture,
each defined on a per-platform basis. This makes it difficult to define
platform- (or architecture-) independent clock sources without making
assumptions about struct clk, and impossible to compile two
platforms with different struct clks into a single image.

This change is an effort to unify struct clk where possible, by defining
a common struct clk, containing a set of clock operations. Different
clock implementations can set their own operations, and have a standard
interface for generic code. The callback interface is exposed to the
kernel proper, while the clock implementations only need to be seen by
the platform internals.

This allows us to share clock code among platforms, and makes it
possible to dynamically create clock devices in platform-independent
code.

Platforms can enable the generic struct clock through
CONFIG_USE_COMMON_STRUCT_CLK. In this case, the clock infrastructure
consists of a common struct clk:

struct clk {
const struct clk_ops *ops;
unsigned int enable_count;
unsigned int prepare_count;
spinlock_t enable_lock;
struct mutex prepare_lock;
};

And a set of clock operations (defined per type of clock):

struct clk_ops {
int (*enable)(struct clk *);
void (*disable)(struct clk *);
unsigned long (*get_rate)(struct clk *);
[...]
};

To define a hardware-specific clock, machine code can "subclass" the
struct clock into a new struct (adding any device-specific data), and
provide a set of operations:

struct clk_foo {
struct clk clk;
void __iomem *some_register;
};

struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops = {
.get_rate = clk_foo_get_rate,
};

The common clock definitions are based on a development patch from Ben
Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>.

Subject: [RFC,PATCH 0/3] Common struct clk implementation, v11

Hi all,

These patches are an attempt to allow platforms to share clock code. At
present, the definitions of 'struct clk' are local to platform code,
which makes allocating and initialising cross-platform clock sources
difficult, and makes it impossible to compile a single image containing
support for two ARM platforms with different struct clks.

The three patches are for the architecture-independent kernel code,
introducing the common clk infrastructure. The changelog for the first
patch includes details about the new clock definitions.

Ben Herrenschmidt is looking at using common struct clk code for powerpc
too, hence the kernel-wide approach.

Many thanks to the following for their input:
* Ben Dooks <[email protected]>
* Baruch Siach <[email protected]>
* Russell King <[email protected]>
* Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>
* Lorenzo Pieralisi <[email protected]>
* Vincent Guittot <[email protected]>
* Sascha Hauer <[email protected]>

Cheers,


Jeremy

Subject: [RFC, PATCH 3/3] clk: add warnings for incorrect enable/prepare semantics

This change adds warnings to check for:

1) enabling a clock that hasn't been prepared; and

2) unpreparing a clock that is still enabled

While the correctness can't be guaranteed, these warnings should cover
most situations.

Shouldn't the prepare_count be checked against 0 ?

Hi Jassi,

Yes, you're right, it should be clk->prepare_count == 0.

Will update for the next revision.

Did we want to check for prepare_count > 0 here? Russell's suggestion
was to do that without holding any lock.
(To make this a tad safer, you could use
ACCESS_ONCE(clk->enable_count)++ below. (Suggested by paulmck on irc.))

This implies the warning is only issued on clocks that have a prepare
callback. If we want to enforce the new API the warning here shouldn't
depend on clk->ops->prepare. (clk_prepare and clk_unprepare need to
be changed then to adapt the prepare_count even in the absence of
clk->ops->prepare.)

Uwe

Yeah, it's a decision about either adding a small cost to all clk_prepare()s
(ie, adding cost when there is no prepare callback), or checking for the
correct prepare/enable semantics for all clocks (even when it doesn't matter
for that particular clock). I chose the first as more important, but happy to
go either way here.

This comment needs a general overhaul.

The prepare method being called from non-atomic context cannot be
considered to be in a speed critical path. Most of the time, this is
going to be called on driver initialization or the like, and that's a
relatively rare event. Therefore this really small cost to clk_prepare()
is definitively worth it to help proper usage of the API. If this ever
becomes a problem then this could be confined to some CONFIG_CLK_DEBUG
or the like. But when introducing a new API it is best to be more
strict to help people get its usage right (without going overboard with
it of course).

spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore. This could get called with
irqs on or off.

If there is no ops->prepare function then we never increment
prepare_count, which means that driver writers can get sloppy if they
know that ops->prepare is no-op on their platform since they will not
get warned for omitting clk_prepare.

Also, why are the warnings added in a separate patch rather than being
rolled into this patch?

Again, you should still increment enable_count even if ops->enabled is a
no-op since it provides valuable warnings when clk_enable/disable calls
are not matched correctly.

Possibly we should shadow the clock rate if ops->get_rate is no-op? So
clock initialisation and clk_set_rate store the rate in the shadow
field, and then do:

if (clk->ops->get_rate)
return clk->ops->get_rate(clk);
return clk->shadow_rate;

Because the API is generic, driver writers should reasonably expect that
clk_get_rate will return something valid without having to know the
platform implementation details. It may also be worth having a warning
to let the user know that the returned rate may be approximate.

This has probably been covered, and I have probably missed it, but why
don't the generic clk_get/put functions do ref-counting? Drivers must
have matched clk_get/put calls so it should work like enable/prepare
counting right?

Yeah, as discussed in other replies, it's probably best that we do the
counting unconditionally. I've removed these optimisations - I think we'd best
enforce the checking here, at least at the introduction of this API.

Just splitting things up; the warnings were the most discussed issue
previously, so I wanted to separate that discussion from the API side.

Yep, as above.

I'd prefer to require that get_rate is implemented as an op, rather than
allowing two methods for retrieving the rate of the clock.

clk_get is used to find a clock; most implementations will not use this for
refcounting.

However, for the case where clocks are dynamically allocated, we need clk_put
to do any possible freeing. There's an existing API for this type of reference
counting (kref), so for the cases where this matters, the clock
implementations can use that.

The documentation on clk_ops is intended for the clock implementor, so it's
not really the right place to descibe the caller's requirements.

Indeed, the documentation for clk_prepare & clk_unprepare describe the
caller's requirements for these (and contain the words "This function may
sleep").

This 'typically' is about the actual placement of the clk_prepare and
clk_enable calls in the driver code, but I will clarify.

clk_get() is now provided in drivers/clk/clkdev.c; the arch-specific part of
this comment is old (I'll remove it).

Thanks for taking the time to review, I appreciate it.

If a platform does not provide ops->get_rate and a driver writer does
not know this, they could naively use the 0 return from clk_get_rate in
calculations, which is especially bad if they ever divide by the rate.
At the very least the documentation for clk_get_rate should state that
the return value needs to be checked and that 0 means the rate is unknown.

Ah, I see how the clkdev part fits in now. You are correct, the ref
counting is only needed/useful for dynamic allocation of clocks and
should therefore be done in the platform specific code.

We do currently have the slightly indirect route to getting a clock of
doing: clk_get -> __clk_get -> clk->ops->get. I'm guessing that the long
term goal is to remove the middle step once everything is using the
common clock api?

Also, how come you decided to keep the clk_get -> __clk_get call in
clkdev.c, but ifdef'ed clk_put? If you just leave clk_put as is in
clkdev.c and change clk_put to __clk_put in the generic clock code then
you need zero changes to clkdev.c

Okay. Should we document for the implementer that clk_enable/disable
must not sleep then? I don't think atomically is necessarily the right
word to use here. For example Documentation/serial/driver uses "This
call must not sleep".

This would be fairly evident on first boot though :)

Yes, sounds good. I was hesitant to change the documentation for parts of the
API that are unchanged, but since we're formalising this 'return 0' behaviour,
it seems reasonable to update the comment in this case.

That may never happen; I imagine that some platforms won't be converted at
all.

__clk_get has previously been used as a platform-specific hook to do
refcounting, which is exactly what we're doing here (via ops->get), so thought
it was best to use the existing __clk_get name to do this.

Yep, makes sense, I'll look at doing this.

OK, I'll clarify the comment.

Subject: [RFC, PATCH 3/3] clk: add warnings for incorrect enable/prepare semantics

This change adds warnings to check for:

1) enabling a clock that hasn't been prepared; and

2) unpreparing a clock that is still enabled

While the correctness can't be guaranteed, the warnings should cover
most situations, and won't indicate false positives.

Subject: [RFC,PATCH 1/3] Add a common struct clk

We currently have ~21 definitions of struct clk in the ARM architecture,
each defined on a per-platform basis. This makes it difficult to define
platform- (or architecture-) independent clock sources without making
assumptions about struct clk, and impossible to compile two
platforms with different struct clks into a single image.

This change is an effort to unify struct clk where possible, by defining
a common struct clk, containing a set of clock operations. Different
clock implementations can set their own operations, and have a standard
interface for generic code. The callback interface is exposed to the
kernel proper, while the clock implementations only need to be seen by
the platform internals.

This allows us to share clock code among platforms, and makes it
possible to dynamically create clock devices in platform-independent
code.

Platforms can enable the generic struct clock through
CONFIG_USE_COMMON_STRUCT_CLK. In this case, the clock infrastructure
consists of a common struct clk:

struct clk {
const struct clk_ops *ops;
unsigned int enable_count;
unsigned int prepare_count;
spinlock_t enable_lock;
struct mutex prepare_lock;
};

And a set of clock operations (defined per type of clock):

struct clk_ops {
int (*enable)(struct clk *);
void (*disable)(struct clk *);
unsigned long (*get_rate)(struct clk *);
[...]
};

To define a hardware-specific clock, machine code can "subclass" the
struct clock into a new struct (adding any device-specific data), and
provide a set of operations:

struct clk_foo {
struct clk clk;
void __iomem *some_register;
};

struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops = {
.get_rate = clk_foo_get_rate,
};

The common clock definitions are based on a development patch from Ben
Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>.

Subject: [RFC,PATCH 0/3] Common struct clk implementation, v12

Hi all,

These patches are an attempt to allow platforms to share clock code. At
present, the definitions of 'struct clk' are local to platform code,
which makes allocating and initialising cross-platform clock sources
difficult, and makes it impossible to compile a single image containing
support for two ARM platforms with different struct clks.

The three patches are for the architecture-independent kernel code,
introducing the common clk infrastructure. The changelog for the first
patch includes details about the new clock definitions.

Ben Herrenschmidt is looking at using common struct clk code for powerpc
too, hence the kernel-wide approach.

Many thanks to the following for their input:
* Ben Dooks <[email protected]>
* Baruch Siach <[email protected]>
* Russell King <[email protected]>
* Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>
* Lorenzo Pieralisi <[email protected]>
* Vincent Guittot <[email protected]>
* Sascha Hauer <[email protected]>
* Ryan Mallon <[email protected]>
* Colin Cross <[email protected]>
* Jassi Brar <[email protected]>

Cheers,


Jeremy

Since most platforms will need a fixed-rate clock, add one. This will
also serve as a basic example of an implementation of struct clk.

Hi, guys,
is there a documentation about clk framework?
Or only to read the sources?

Thanks a lot, and best regards

WARN_ON(clk->prepare_count == 0); ?

Does it make sense to have a clock with no enable function which still
returns success from clk_enable? Do we have any platforms which have
NULL clk_enable functions?

I think that for enable/disable at least we should require platforms to
provide functions and oops if they have failed to do so. In the rare
case that a platform doesn't need to do anything for enable/disable they
can just supply empty functions.

This is a bit misleading. It's not "should be called", it "is called". I
think you should just remove the documentation for __clk_get/__clk_put
or move it into clk.c since the functions are only used internally by
the common clock code.

Ah, missed that. I still think that patch 3 should just be rolled into
patch 1. I don't see why we should add a new file in one patch and then
randomly add some warning code to it in another patch. It makes
reviewing harder for one thing :-).

Shouldn't you be grabbing the prepare_lock here? Set rate and
prepare/unprepare would be working on the same shared resource (say,
PLL). That was the reason we are making set_rate() sleepable too.

As a nice side effect, it will also enforce the "might sleep" nature of
this API.

You should probably rename the lock to something else since it's not
limited to prepare/unprepare. How about resource_lock?

I'm not sure on this one. If the prepare ops for a clock also calls the
prepare ops on the parent, shouldn't we prevent changing the parent
while the prepare/unprepare is going on?

Do we need these inits? Doesn't check patch complain about initing
static/global to 0? If it's generally frowned upon, why the exception
here. I realize that checkpatch won't catch this, but still...

After a long day, I'm not able to wrap my head around this. Probably a
stupid question, but will this name.xxx thing prevent using this
INIT_CLK macro to initialize an array of clocks? More specifically,
prevent the sub class macro (like INIT_CLK_FIXED) from being used to
initialize an array of clocks?

Aren't all locks blocking? Shouldn't it be, "If turning on a clock
requires code that might sleep, it should be done in clk_prepare"?
Replace all "blocking" with "sleepable" or "sleeping" in the comments?

Other drivers may be using the clock and increased the enable_count.
This check may be moved to where we actually do unprepare.

It's possible to be NULL. So are set_rate/get_rate.
Ideally, if it's NULL:
prepare/unprepare: only call parent's prepare/unprepare
enable/disable: only call parent's enable/disable
set_rate: fail
get_rate: reture parent's get_rate
set_parent: fail
get_parent: fail

No, the whole point of the generic framework is that _all_ clock users
must call prepare/enable and disable/unprepare. Drivers, etc should not
rely on underlying knowledge of a platform. This is why, for instance,
clk_enable will warn if prepare count is zero.

However, I can see that a clock may be fully enabled by its prepare
function and so the enable function is a no-op. User must still call
both prepare and enable though. Perhaps this is what you meant?

I wouldn't hard-code the parents into the generic functions. But I
suggest to provide generic callbacks to do this, e.g.

clk_get_rate_from_parent(struct clk *c)
{
struct clk *parent = clk_get_parent(c);

return clk_get_rate(parent);
}

Best regards
Uwe

I mean prepare/unprepare, enable/disable and get_rate ops null can be handled
in the common clock code. But it needs parent clock pointer.

Why? what restriction will it cause to add parent in clk?
Two benifits at least I can see:
1. null ops handle, as I said above.
2. export clock tree to user level for debug. It's very helpfull.

Don't be tempted to expand what's done at the generic level. Platforms
may need special handling at the current clock level before the parent
clock level is considered. Also platforms may not have parents so it
becomes mere bloat.

The more complicated the generic level becomes, the more platforms won't
covert to it.

A fixed clock may still have other operations such as enable/disable.
Maybe do something like this instead:

#define INIT_CLK_FIXED(name, ops, r) { \
.clk = INIT_CLK(name.clk, ops, rate), \
.clk.ops.get_rate = clk_fixed_get_rate, \
.rate = (r), \
}

That's untested though. I'm not sure if you can reliably assign
something twice in a struct initialiser?

It does, yes. Driver code should be always be calling clk_enable before using
a clock, regardless of the implementation (which it shouldn't have to care
abut), and should abort their initialisation if the clk_enable() fails.

Some clocks are always running, so the enable op will be empty. This is not an
error, so the driver is free to continue.

Sounds like useless boilerplate - it's not an error to not need
enable/disable, so I don't see why we need to add extra effort to handle this
case.

It'd be nice to remove this from the header, but this means we'll need extern
prototypes in clkdev.c. Might be a reasonable compromise though.

I have been convinced that enable/prepare potentially being NULL

That's probably a better approach anyway, since that makes it blatantly
obvious that the __clk_get and __clk_put functions should not be called
from anywhere except clkdev.c.

Hi Saravana,

This depends on semantics that (as far as I can tell) aren't defined yet. We
may even want to disallow set_rate (and set_parent) when prepare_count is non-
zero.

Ideally, we should work out what the semantics are with regards to changing a
clock's rate when it has multiple users and/or is enabled or prepared, but
that's a separate issue, and we should *definitely* implement that as a
separate change.

I'd prefer to enforce the 'sleepability' with might_sleep instead.

It's not, but that's the only thing it's protecting in the common code. I'm
open for better names, but resource_lock is too generic.

Again, this is related to set_rate during enable/disable or prepare/unprepare;
we don't have defined semantics for this at present.

This took some reading through c99, but yes, it looks like we can drop these
zero initialisations.

However, the coding style convention for the implicit zeroing of static
variables is to allow these variables to be put into the .bss section,
reducing object size. In this case, the clock will never be able to go into
.bss (it has non-zero elements too), and so this will have no change on object
size. I prefer to be explicit here, and show that the counts are initialised
to zero.

I'm happy to go either way. I have a preference for the explicit
initialisation, but that may not be general style.

That's correct. For an array of clocks, you'll have to use a different
initialiser. We can add helpers for that that when (and if) the need arises.

I think "blocking" is generally accepted as is intended in this case, but it's

I'm confused. If a clock's rate can't be changed and it can't be enabled
or disabled, then what's the point of representing that clock
signal/line as a clock in the driver. Seems like a "nothing to see here,
move along" type of clock. To express it differently, I find this
similar to "if (1) { ... }". Obviously I'm missing something here. What
is it?

Sure, one could argue that in some archs for a certain set of clocks the
slow stuff in prepare/unprepare won't need to be done during set rate --
say, a simple clock that always runs off the same PLL but just has a
integer divider to change the rate.

In those cases, not grabbing the prepare_lock would make the code less
"locky".

> We

This is definitely not right. Changing the rate of a clock when it's
already enabled/prepared is a very reasonable thing to do. It's only
doing a set rate at the "same time" as a prepare/unprepare that's wrong
for some clocks. We could have the specific implementation deal with the
locking internally.

So essentially, the prepare_lock is just for the prepare_cnt and the
call to the corresponding ops.

Agreed about having the semantics defined for setting the rate when
there are multiple users. As for "is already enabled/prepared", I think
clear that it needs to be supported/allowed. MSM drivers definitely do
it all the time.

> I'd prefer to enforce the 'sleepability' with might_sleep instead.

Yeah, I realized this option after sending out my previous email. Please
do add a might_sleep(). It will actually point out errors (per the new
clarification) in some serial drivers.

We can get back to this later after we settle on the stuff below.

After thinking about this the past couple of days, this looks like a
location where the locking is more necessary than inside set rate. I
always saw the parent clock as the clock that generates the clock signal
from which this clock derives (divide, etc) it's clock signal from.

Assuming Russell and/or the community agrees on the semantics of
"parent", without the generic implementation grabbing the prepare_lock
while setting the parent, there is no way for the specific clock driver
implementations to cleanly ensure correctness. The only option for them
would be to peek into the generic clock struct and grab the prepare lock
-- to me that would be an ugly hack and/or layering violation that would
cause problems later on.

Russell/All,

What's the meaning of a parent clock? Do you agree with my definition --
"the parent clock is the clock that generates the clock signal from
which the child clock derives (divide, etc) it's clock signal from."? Or
is it open to interpretation by each implementation?

I don't think the coding style convention was to make sure the variables
end up in the BSS. I would be surprised if GCC wasn't intelligent enough
to notice that we are initing a variable with zero and hence it can be
safely put in the BSS. It think the coding style convention was chosen
just to ensure "don't be redundant and add 'noisy' code".

I don't have a strong opinion, but I thought I should point out the
deviation from the usual coding style.

Would it even be possible to get this to work for an array? You don't
have to change this in the patch, but I'm curious to know how to get
this to work for an array without doing a run time init of the lock.

Because the drivers using this clock don't know that it's a fixed clock.

For example, a uart needs to know the rate of its clock source, so that it can
set its internal divisors to get a valid baud rate. The uart driver will query
the input rate using clk_get_rate(). The driver still needs to call
clk_enable/clk_prepare/etc, because on some systems it may have a switchable
clock.

Why is that? Consider two devices using one clock; one does some
initialisation based on the return value of clk_get_rate(), the other calls
clk_set_rate() some time later. Now the first device is incorrectly
initialised.

Regardless, this is definitely something to flag for a later discussion. I'm
happy to return to that, but we should focus on one issue at a time here.

Yes, hence leaving the locking here to the clock implementation.

I'd assume that you'd have to do this at run time, as with any other array of
structs that contain a mutex or spinlock.

The case you describe is certainly something I consider as incorrect and
agree with you in that we should try to prevent it. But

(prepare_count != 0) != (two devices using one clock).

For one, prepare_count == 1 would be a normal case when a clock is enabled
and the MSM drivers certainly want to be able to set the rate when the
clock is enabled.

But (prepare_count > 1 || enable_count > 1) doesn't mean more than one
device/device driver using the clock either. A simple example would be a
driver wrapping all it's register accesses with a clk_enable/clk_disable
and not having to worry about if a clock is enabled during register access
when it has multiple execution paths (threads, interrupt handler, timers,
etc) that access registers. The driver would just do the enable/disable
around register accesses and let the clock code's ref counting dealing
with making sure a clock is never turned off when it's needed. In these
case both the prepare_count (less likely, but likely) and enable_count can
greater than 1.

Long story short, I support your desire to prevent one driver from
changing the rate from underneath another driver, but the condition you
chose to figure that out is not accurate.

Sure, this discussion of set rate with count is non-zero can be reserved
for later. But I think the discussion of grabbing the lock during
set_parent should be discussed in the context of this patch.

Waiting to see how others feel about this.

Saravana

What about a clock sourced from a PLL which provides the dotclock for a
framebuffer device? On every mode set, should the clk have to be disabled,
unprepared, rate set, re-prepared and re-enabled?

Sounds heavy-handed, but I honestly have no idea if that's reasonable or not.

Other options are:

* Require that the driver has called clk_prepare, and that prepare_count
is 1 during the set_rate call (indicating that this is the only user); or

* Leave the set_rate and set_parent semantics as-is and assume that anything
calling either knows what it's doing (and that it won't affect other
devices)

Are you OK if we address this separately to the API unification though?

I vote the second option. Two reasons:
1. Has any mach specific clock restricted clk_set_rate use? I don't hear any.
2. In my opinion, clk_set_rate is not called very often by drivers, especially
for the clock which has child clocks. Leaf clock are seldom shared. Even if it's
shared, we can let drivers handle it case by case .

Absolutely. I think there's enough issues already without adding new
changes on top. The unification step should do just that - unify. It
should not introduce new restrictions that are not absolutely necessary
for the unification step.

Your definition seems sane - I'm not sure what use a parent clock which
had nothing to do with a child would be.

As for the locking issue, I've no idea on that at the moment. I don't
think implementations should grab the prepare lock, I think that's
something the generic code should take care of for clk_set_rate(),
clk_set_parent() etc.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add a common struct clk

We currently have ~21 definitions of struct clk in the ARM architecture,
each defined on a per-platform basis. This makes it difficult to define
platform- (or architecture-) independent clock sources without making
assumptions about struct clk, and impossible to compile two
platforms with different struct clks into a single image.

This change is an effort to unify struct clk where possible, by defining
a common struct clk, containing a set of clock operations. Different
clock implementations can set their own operations, and have a standard
interface for generic code. The callback interface is exposed to the
kernel proper, while the clock implementations only need to be seen by
the platform internals.

This allows us to share clock code among platforms, and makes it
possible to dynamically create clock devices in platform-independent
code.

Platforms can enable the generic struct clock through
CONFIG_USE_COMMON_STRUCT_CLK. In this case, the clock infrastructure
consists of a common struct clk:

struct clk {
const struct clk_ops *ops;
unsigned int enable_count;
unsigned int prepare_count;
spinlock_t enable_lock;
struct mutex prepare_lock;
};

And a set of clock operations (defined per type of clock):

struct clk_ops {
int (*enable)(struct clk *);
void (*disable)(struct clk *);
unsigned long (*get_rate)(struct clk *);
[...]
};

To define a hardware-specific clock, machine code can "subclass" the
struct clock into a new struct (adding any device-specific data), and
provide a set of operations:

struct clk_foo {
struct clk clk;
void __iomem *some_register;
};

struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops = {
.get_rate = clk_foo_get_rate,
};

The common clock definitions are based on a development patch from Ben
Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>.

Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Common struct clk implementation, v13

Hi all,

These patches are an attempt to allow platforms to share clock code. At
present, the definitions of 'struct clk' are local to platform code,
which makes allocating and initialising cross-platform clock sources
difficult, and makes it impossible to compile a single image containing
support for two ARM platforms with different struct clks.

The three patches are for the architecture-independent kernel code,
introducing the common clk infrastructure. The changelog for the first
patch includes details about the new clock definitions.

Many thanks to the following for their input:
* Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>

If we never need to dynamically create fixed clocks (which seems
unlikely) then rate can be const.

Hi Ryan,

> If we never need to dynamically create fixed clocks (which seems
> unlikely) then rate can be const.

There's been a few cases where I've needed to set the rate of a fixed clock
during boot - for example when a clock rate varies between boards, it may be
defined in a platform-wide file, but have the rate modified early (ie,
clk_foo.rate = 32678) in a board file.

Also, if we're parsing clocks from the device tree (or any other discovery
mechanism), we'll need to modify rate.

Cheers,


Jeremy

these should be static inline. Otherwise these functions end up in many
files and so provoke a build failure.

Subject: [PATCH] wip: convert imx27 to common struct clk

Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>
---
Hello,

on top of .38-rc6 + making the clk_{un,}prepare stubs static inline,
this patch makes use of Jeremy's common struct clk (v13) on a i.MX27 based
machine.

This is compile tested using mx21_defconfig and runtime tested using
mx27_defconfig.

I had to degrade one WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE in drivers/clk/clk.c to
actually make it work. Otherwise console output results in a warning
that results in console output ...

Best regards
Uwe

Ugh, brown paper bag time. Thanks for that, I'll update this patch.

You won't be able to do mainline the WARN_ON_ONCE because that will only
warn for the first clock that violates whatever condition it's warning
about.

Your probably need to fix your serial driver. What serial driver are you
using?

I wonder if it is more sensible while the warning is new. But I don't
care much because I'm going to fix the serial driver before switching.

Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Common struct clk implementation, v14

Hi all,

These patches are an attempt to allow platforms to share clock code. At
present, the definitions of 'struct clk' are local to platform code,
which makes allocating and initialising cross-platform clock sources
difficult, and makes it impossible to compile a single image containing
support for two ARM platforms with different struct clks.

The three patches are for the architecture-independent kernel code,
introducing the common clk infrastructure. The changelog for the first
patch includes details about the new clock definitions.

Many thanks to the following for their input:
* Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>
* Ben Dooks <[email protected]>
* Baruch Siach <[email protected]>
* Russell King <[email protected]>
* Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>

Jeremy Kerr (2):
Add a common struct clk
clk: Generic support for fixed-rate clocks

2011-03-03 06:40:58

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add a common struct clk

We currently have ~21 definitions of struct clk in the ARM architecture,
each defined on a per-platform basis. This makes it difficult to define
platform- (or architecture-) independent clock sources without making
assumptions about struct clk, and impossible to compile two
platforms with different struct clks into a single image.

This change is an effort to unify struct clk where possible, by defining
a common struct clk, containing a set of clock operations. Different
clock implementations can set their own operations, and have a standard
interface for generic code. The callback interface is exposed to the
kernel proper, while the clock implementations only need to be seen by
the platform internals.

This allows us to share clock code among platforms, and makes it
possible to dynamically create clock devices in platform-independent
code.

Platforms can enable the generic struct clock through
CONFIG_USE_COMMON_STRUCT_CLK. In this case, the clock infrastructure
consists of a common struct clk:

struct clk {
const struct clk_ops *ops;
unsigned int enable_count;
unsigned int prepare_count;
spinlock_t enable_lock;
struct mutex prepare_lock;
};

And a set of clock operations (defined per type of clock):

struct clk_ops {
int (*enable)(struct clk *);
void (*disable)(struct clk *);
unsigned long (*get_rate)(struct clk *);
[...]
};

To define a hardware-specific clock, machine code can "subclass" the
struct clock into a new struct (adding any device-specific data), and
provide a set of operations:

struct clk_foo {
struct clk clk;
void __iomem *some_register;
};

struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops = {
.get_rate = clk_foo_get_rate,
};

The common clock definitions are based on a development patch from Ben
Herrenschmidt <[email protected]>.

Hi Russell,

Any updates on these patches? I've added to your patch-tracker, would
you expect these to make the next merge window, or are there changes

Reason I ask is that I have a few queries from platform maintainers that

I will take it, but at the moment I'm rather unhappy about the response
from the community to Linus' complaint.

If existing platform maintainers can show that moving over to this will
result in a net reduction of code under arch/arm, then that will be good.
What I don't want to see at the moment is arch/arm increasing in size as
a result of any change. We desperately need to see a reduction for the
next merge window.

It's a chicken and egg... platform maintainers wait for you to take it
and you wait for them to take it :-)

It seems to me that this fits well into the category of "better common
abstractions" that was discussed in the thread initiated by Linus as one
of the ways to improve on the "clutter"...

Yea, do that and send it to Linus for his review. I suggest a visit your

That depends - sometimes creating generic stuff results in a net increase
in the overall size, and that's something that Linus also complained about.

According to linux-next, where we are at the moment with arch/arm is a
net increase of 6000 lines since the close of the last merge window,
and arch/arm is responsible for almost 75% of arch/ changes. It looks
very much like the same situation which Linus complained about.

Can arch/arm continue to increase in size? I think not. We desperately
need patches which reduce the size of arch/arm, and we desperately need
them *now*.

Quoting Linus:

| herring.
|
| THAT IS NOT WHY I STARTED TO COMPLAIN!
|

So we need to work on infrastructure, and the clock API is exactly that.
Obviously adding it will increase the number of lines of code initially,
but eventually this will help _reduce_ them, and more importantly it
will allow for the reduction of mindless duplication of code that was
identified as being the actual problem causing maintenance pain.

Adding it without anyone using it doesn't solve anything. We need
people to commit to producing patches to use it for the next merge
window.

And if you think its not about lines of code - grab the current linux-next
tree and look at the diff between v2.6.39-rc1 and master for arch/arm, and
then tell me whether using LOC is unreasonable given the patch content.

Anybody looked into passing the clock register and type
from device tree?

To me it looks like the above would allow doing that
pretty easily while avoiding duplicating all the
data from devicetree into struct clk_foo.

People are simply waiting for the API to hit some upstream tree (like
yours) before committing to it. You would be in a much better position
if those patches are in your tree, so that you can tell people: "Here's
the Git branch with the API in it, so now I'm expecting patches to
convert clock users to it".

I might have a look later. However it is clear that the ARM tree will
_never_ be as small as, say, X86 or even PPC given the indisputable
amount of hardware variations within the ARM landscape that is not to be
seen anywhere else. Until the ARM ecosystem converge towards a single
whole-system architecture we won't be able to match X86 in terms of code
reduction. Anyone thinking otherwise is living in a different universe.

However we can and must do better in consolidation work in order to make
the tree more maintainable of course. _That_ is the real issue and
_that_ is what the ARM tree sucks at. The fact that this consolidation
work might reduce the size of the ARM code is only a side effect, not
the primary goal. So let's not get too hung up about LOC but focus on
improving the infrastructure instead.

One way of doing this would be to apply the patches to a branch in your
tree which isn't merged into -next and request that architecture
maintainers wishing to make use of the branch pull it into their trees.
That way it'll go into -next with at least one user but multiple
architectures can still work on using it in the initial merge.

Look, this is what is in amongst the 6K lines of new code - these are
the top two in the diffstat with the highest number of additional lines:

arch/arm/mach-ux500/clock-db8500.c | 1291 +++++++++++++
arch/arm/mach-ux500/prcmu-db8500.c | 2018 ++++++++++++++++++++

These comprise 50% of the 6K of new code. clock-db8500.c is a mixture
of code and data declarations for individual clocks - which is essentially
what Linus picked up with his complaint on under OMAP. That in itself
makes me worried.

Looking at the other file, prcmu-db8500.c seems to contain at least 5 sets
of mailbox support code. Take a look at "Subject: [PATCH 9/9] mach-ux500:
add DB5500 PRCMU interface" from Linus Walleij on 31st March on this list
for the patch. Are we sure that this couldn't be consolidated in some
way, at least at file level?

So while you can say about not getting hung up about LOC, LOC is a good
indication that things are still going wrong in much the same way.

On the positive note, it looks like MX3 is being merged into IMX stuff,
which is good news, and the mxc91231 has been dropped. We need to ensure
that good work like this, which will make Linus happy, doesn't get
swamped by new stuff.

We must take Linus' complaint about 'churn' seriously - it's not something
new that he's just started to complain about in the last month. It's
something which he's complained about on a number of occasions. Feel free
to think what you may about that, but just bear in mind that Linus holds
the keys to the mainline kernel, and he can put us in a different universe.

Now, the next thing is that Linus hasn't been too happy about driver stuff
coming via my tree either - it's something which has been the subject of
concern in private email. I've _already_ said something about that prior
to the recent merge window. So should I take the clk API stuff which
touches the drivers subtree? If yes, it needs to be kept entirely separate
from the rest of the ARM stuff so we don't end up mixing drivers stuff with
ARM stuff.

Sure. So... let's see what we can do about it. Having 1300 lines only
for clock stuff on only one platform certainly looks silly. Either we
can consolidate some of that stuff with another similar-enough platform,
or we're stuck with the ST-E hardware being just too different from,
say, the OMAP clock hardware for those to be consolidated. In the
former case we can work towards a solution and that code currently in
next won't make it to mainline, or in the later case... well... we'll
have to live with it. If in doubt let's simply ask the opinion of those
mainline people who said they're willing to help with advices. If in
the end they have no better solutions than what we have now then it will
be harder for them to complain.

Agreed. My point is, we shouldn't be afraid to add more code if that
code is allowing for some consolidation to happen down the road, which
should be the case with the initial subject of this thread.

Well, looking at the output of

git diff --dirstat=3 linus/master...next/master -- arch

(with linus/master == 85f2e689a and next/master == 9e06a6ea7) I think
the main culprit is 12dc7eff5 that moved arch/arm/mach-mx3 to
arch/arm/mach-imx. (75 files changed, 9783 insertions(+), 9731
deletions(-)) That's a part of the effort to consolidate the i.MX
platforms and allow to compile more SoCs in a single image.

That commit accounts for more than the half of the (loc) changes in
arch/arm.

OK, this doesn't discuss away the 6000 added lines, but at least the
percentage thingy. And I think when you point out this commit Linus will
be much quiter when replying to your pull request.

Best regards
Uwe

OK, so the solution is to put this in a seperate branch. But then when
platform maintainers start working with it the resulting changes will
most probably go to arch/arm. So if Linus doesn't want to pull a tree
that touches both drivers/clk and arch/arm, then either he has to pull
the clk branch first or we have to wait for the next merge window until
we can use it.

I prefer the former.

Best regards
Uwe

Russell,

In your first reply to Jeremy you said this:
"I will take it, but at the moment I'm rather unhappy about the response
from the community to Linus' complaint."

So, if you are going to pull in his patches for the next merge, you can
ignore this most of this email.

Talking for MSM, I'm waiting for some kind of certainty that these APIs
will not be changed again before I rework our clock code to it. Even if
I decide to move to this new framework without that certainty, it's
going to be hard to convince driver teams to start using this new API if
it's not already accepted upstream. At which point we would be back to
square one -- "we need to see drivers (clock consumers) use these new
APIs/rework before we pull it in".

Long story short, it's exactly the chicken and egg problem Nicolas was
talking about and we need to break the egg :-)

Also, Jeremy's changes are more than just consolidation. They add
clk_prepare/clk_unprepare APIs and those would be quite beneficial to
quite a few machs/archs.

I'm sure lines of code is important, but saying we won't add any
architectural improvements because it adds LOC seems backwards. If we go
by that policy, the end result would be a freeze of the kernel.

Btw, what's your position on device tree for ARM? Device tree should
help out a lot with clock data taking up too many LOCs.

Thanks,
Saravana

A common struct clk implementation will at least allow you to whittle
this number down a bit, but it's obviously not possible to attempt to
work with the generic infrastructure prior to it being merged. Given that
there is nothing ARM-specific about the patch series it doesn't much
matter which tree it ultimately gets merged through, so long as it's in
place for people to build on top of for the next merge window.

ARM has been the defacto owner for the clock bits to date, but between
clkdev and a common struct clk it's certainly possible to move to a clock
tree and treat it the same as any other subsystem. Moving things out of
arch/arm and in to more generic maintenance paths certainly reduces the
chance for abuse -- and also provides a path for driver stuff.

SH and ARM-based SH/R-Mobile CPUs already share a clock framework, which
I've slowly been refactoring in preparation for Jeremy's common struct
clk. With that merged I'll be able to kill off a couple hundred lines
from the existing implementation at least.

If you'd prefer not to be the guinea pig for the clock bits going in to
.40 I'm certainly happy to take them in a topic branch, convert my
platforms on top of that and send the bits off to Linus early in the
merge window.

To get this forward I set up a branch with the generic bits sent to the
list so far. I really think this should be fixed better now than later
to give enough time for potential users of the new API to implement it
for their platform.

I declare this to be stable, so assuming people are OK with it, you can
use that as a base to convert your platforms.

@Linus: I hope you're willing to pull this branch after .39?! (A public
"yes" might motivate one or the other maintainer to convert their
platform to it.)

There is a 2nd branch on that repository that also contains my RFC patch
just sent to this list in case you want to test it.

You declare that stable? Interesting.

Which is utter crap as I pointed out a few minutes ago.

Also that clk thing is neither stable nor complete. It's just designed
wrong.

As long as it does not handle nested clocks proper and by default w/o
your tasteless add ons, it's just moving the status quo of ARM into a
common infrastructure file.

Yes, that's probably better than not having common infrastructure at
all, but trying to build up conversions on that lot would be a
complete waste of time and resources. Simply because you need to
convert the already converted stuff another time.
