[PATCH v6] arm/arm64: add arm-smccc

[PATCH v6] arm/arm64: add arm-smccc

[Jens Wiklander]

Adds helpers to do SMC and HVC based on ARM SMC Calling Convention.
CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC is enabled for architectures that may support the
SMC or HVC instruction. It's the responsibility of the caller to know if
the SMC instruction is supported by the platform.

This patch doesn't provide an implementation of the declared functions.
Later patches will bring in implementations and set
CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC for ARM and ARM64 respectively.

It is ok by me to move it there, probably we do not want it at the end of
the "ABI hall of shame" list :)

Or drivers/firmware/Kconfig ?

Strictly speaking, since PSCI uses this by default, you should also
enforce an ARM_PSCI_FW dependency on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC.

Nit: if you use a shift macro for some fields it would be clearer if you use
for all of them (I am referring to type/calling_convention here), it can
be changed later.

Other than that:

You tell me, I'm too new here to have a feeling for this.

ARM_PSCI depends on CPU_V7 and ARM_PSCI_FW doesn't really depend on
anything today.

Would it be OK if I changed ARM_PSCI to depend on HAVE_ARM_SMCCC instead
of CPU_V7 in the "drivers: psci: replace psci firmware calls" patch?
At the same time I would move the "select HAVE_ARM_SMCCC if CPU_V7" line
to the "config ARM" block instead in the
"arm: add implementation for arm-smccc" patch.

I'll include this change in the v7 patch set if I don't hear anything.

Okay, I think as we don't have a decision on this, the proximity of
Christmas, and the presumable opening of the merge window early in
the new year, I can't merge these patches for the upcoming window.
I'll discard those which have already been submitted to the patch
system.

This also has a knock-on effect on patch 8486/1:

"ARM64: kernel: PSCI: move PSCI idle management code to drivers/firmware"

which is based on top of this series.  If someone wants to replace
that patch with one which has been tested _without_ this series
then I'll look at applying it, provided its only trivially different
from the existing one.

Thanks.

I guess Jens' patches are not considered material for the upcoming merge
window, would you consider applying an updated version of 8486/1 (that does
not depend on Jens' series) or it is too late ? That patch has already
missed a merge window for patch dependencies, I would avoid another one,
I appreciate the timing is not ideal though, please let me know.

Thanks !
Lorenzo

The reason I said what I did above was to head-off the merge window
opening last night, and having a rushed job dealing with problems
with patches merged at the last minute.

Consider that the period 24th December to 3rd January does not exist
for many as far as working on the kernel is concerned, and linux-next
probably wasn't running over that period either.

The situation has changed though; last night, Linus released -rc8,
which means we have one week of breathing space before the merge window
is likely to open, and we have four days of linux-next trees.

This means that I'm willing to take patches today (and today only), as
it will give the remainder of the week (up to Thursday - due to the
linux-next timing) to sort out any deficiencies in those patches.

That all said, 8486/1 _is_ the patch you've just asked me to merge,
which has open questions from Jens that you (Lorenzo) have _not_
responded to.

Jens was asking, in response to your feedback, whether an alternative
Kconfig structure would satisfy your feedback... to which he's had no
reply from you.  So, we're waiting on your response.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Yes, I still think that HAVE_ARM_SMCCC should not be listed at the
end of "ABI hall of shame" in arch/Kconfig and you can move it to
drivers/firmware/Kconfig.

Other than that your v7 is fine by me, can you respin quickly and
ask Russell to pull today please ?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Sorry for the delay in replying. I re-tested 8486/1 on top of Jens'
v7, it is all fine, I commented on the config structure which is
a change that does not affect 8486/1 so if it is ok with you I am happy
for 8486/1 to be applied on top of Jens' series (I guess he should be
sending a v8 today which should be final).

As a heads-up, 8486/1 also depends on 8485/1 that you have already applied.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
