In case of STM32MP15xC/F SoC, in case the RNG1 is enabled in DT, the RNG1
clock are managed by the driver. The RNG1 clock are toggled off on entry
to suspend and back on on resume. For reason thus far unknown (could this
be some chip issue?), when the system goes through repeated suspend/resume
cycles, the system eventually hangs after a few such cycles.
This can be reproduced with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG 'pm_test' this way:
"
echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
while true ; do
echo mem > /sys/power/state
sleep 2 ;
done
"
The system locks up after about a minute and if WDT is active, resets.
If the RNG1 clock are kept enabled across suspend/resume, either using
this change, or by keeping the clock enabled in RNG driver suspend/resume
callbacks, the system does not lock up.
NOTE: This patch is a workaround. It would be good to know why does this
change make the hang go away, whether this is a chip issue or some
other problem ?

Hi Marek,
Strange indeed.
A potential reason that comes to my mind would be that something tries
to get a random number after the driver suspended and fails to do so.
Else it might just be a bad clock balance.
Can you describe the software ecosystem that you're running please?
(SCMI/no SCMI)?
Do you have the 3 fixes of stm32_rng.c that you've sent recently in your
software when testing?
What if you add a trace in a random generation function in random.c?
After this, I'll try to reproduce the issue.
Thanks,
Gatien

I don't think so, this would be reported by the kernel and it would show
up in /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary as incrementing use count. It
would also not happen in a non-deterministic manner like this happens
here, the hang doesn't always happen after well defined suspend/resume
cycle count.

STM32MP157C DHCOM PDK2 with mainline U-Boot 2024.07-rc2 , no SCMI.

If you have a minute to test it on some ST MP15 board, that would be
real nice. Thanks !

I put a trace in _get_random_bytes() in drivers/char/random.c. I'm not
100% sure but this should be the entry point when getting a random number.

I tried to reproduce the issue you're facing on a STM32MP157C-DK2 no
SCMI on the 6.9-rc7 kernel tag. I uses OP-TEE and TF-A in the bootchain
but this should not have an impact here.
How did you manage to test using "echo core > /sys/power/pm_test"?
In kernel/power/suspend.c, enter_state(). If the pm_test_level is core,
then an error is fired with the following trace:
"Unsupported test mode for suspend to idle, please choose
none/freezer/devices/platform."
I've tried using "echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test" so that I can at
least test that the driver is put to sleep then wakes up. I do not
reproduce your issue.

Can you give it another shot with the trace so that we can ensure that
no random is asked after the driver is suspended in your case please?

You're right, there is a read attempt right before the hang, and
__clk_is_enabled() returns 0 in stm32_read_rng() . In fact, it is the
pm_runtime_get_sync() which is returning -EACCES instead of zero, and
this is currently not checked so the failure is not detected before
register access takes place, to register file with clock disabled, which
triggers a hard hang.
I'll be sending a patch shortly, thanks for this hint !

Could this be firmware related ?

Can you try 'processors' ?
I did also notice it sometimes takes much longer than a minute to hang,
but eventually it does hang. Maybe let it cycle for an hour or a few ?

Great news, indeed the return code isn't checked. Let's use
pm_runtime_resume_and_get().

Given this:
#ifdef CONFIG_PM_DEBUG
if (pm_test_level != TEST_NONE && pm_test_level <= TEST_CPUS) {
pr_warn("Unsupported test mode for suspend to idle, please choose
none/freezer/devices/platform.\n");
return -EAGAIN;
}
#endif
and this
static const char * const pm_tests[__TEST_AFTER_LAST] = {
[TEST_NONE] = "none",
[TEST_CORE] = "core",
[TEST_CPUS] = "processors",
[TEST_PLATFORM] = "platform",
[TEST_DEVICES] = "devices",
[TEST_FREEZER] = "freezer",
};
I'm getting the error as well.

Yes please.
I will wonder why we get EACCES though, that basically means we are
suspending already. Is it safe to return -errno from rng read function
in that case ?

You're supposed to be suspending to 'mem' , not 'idle' . Could that be it ?

The framework expects a function that can return an error code so I
don't see why not. Else the framework would have an issue.
I still haven't figured out what is happening.
Could it be that the kernel is getting entropy with hwrng_fillfn()
like it does periodically to feed the entropy pool and it happens at the
same time as your pm test sequence?
FYI, I have been running your script with (echo devices >
/sys/power/pm_test) for 5 hours now and haven't been able to reproduce
the issue.

Yes you're right, I've been missing that. I do not have "deep" available
in /sys/power/mem_sleep... not upstreamed yet maybe... Have you coded a
PSCI service for this in U-Boot?
I'm either missing something or I can't reproduce your setup.

Possibly. I use script as init which contains basically #!/bin/sh ,
mount of a few filesystems like dev, proc, sys, and then the pm_test
sequence to avoid wasting time booting full userspace.

Maybe the 'devices' test is not enough and the deeper pm_test states
have some sort of impact ?

The PSCI provider in U-Boot has been in place for years, there's no need
to code anything, just compile it and that's all:
$ make stm32mp15_basic_defconfig && make -j`nproc`
This gets you u-boot-spl.stm32 and u-boot.itb as FSBL/SSBL .

Ok,
The strangest thing is not being to enable the clock, maybe there's
something on the clock driver side. Tracking clock enable/disable
may lead to something.

Maybe, I don't have the knowledge to confirm or invalidate this.
Tasks should be frozen before drivers are put to sleep so my instinct
would say no but you can't take it for granted :)

Ok thanks.

I suspect the problem is that rng_read and runtime suspend/resume can
run in parallel, that's why this problem occurs.

Could it be the kernel that requires randomness ?

Hum, this looks strange... This would need to be confirmed in your
use case. That would mean that flags aren't synced at the entry of these
functions?

That can be confirmed by adding traces to the entry point in random.c.
Maybe activating CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM will help investigate
this. It will add verbosity if crng isn't ready.
Or maybe try calling directely rng_is_initialized() to see if the crng
is ready when your issue occurs.
