OMAP4 introduces a Hardware Spinlock device, which provides hardware
assistance for synchronization and mutual exclusion between heterogeneous
processors and those not operating under a single, shared operating system
(e.g. OMAP4 has dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP).

The intention of this hardware device is to allow remote processors,
that have no alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual
exclusion operations, to share resources (such as memory and/or any other
hardware resource).

This patchset adds hwspinlock framework that makes it possible
for drivers to use those hwspinlock devices and stay platform-independent.

Currently there are two users for this hwspinlock interface:

1. Inter-processor communications: on OMAP4, cpu-intensive multimedia
tasks are offloaded by the host to the remote M3 and/or C64x+ slave
processors.

To achieve fast message-based communications, a minimal kernel support
is needed to deliver messages arriving from a remote processor to the
appropriate user process.

This communication is based on a simple data structure that is shared between
the remote processors, and access to it is synchronized using the hwspinlock
module (remote processor directly places new messages in this shared data
structure).

2. On some OMAP4 boards, the I2C bus is shared between the A9 and the M3,
and the hwspinlock is used to synchronize access to it.

While (2) can get away with an omap-specific hwspinlock implementation,
(1) is by no means omap-specific, and a common hwspinlock interface is
needed to keep it generic, in hopes that it will be useful for other
platforms as well.

Changes v2->v3:
- Remove the timeout-less _lock API variant (Tony)
- s/state->io_base/io_base/ (Ionut)
- Remove the "generic" wording (David)
- s/hwspinlock_/hwspin_lock_/ (Mugdha)
- Use MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT to indicate no timeout (Mugdha)
- Be more verbose on egregious API misuse (Olof)
- locking API misuse is BUG_ON material (Russell)

  Note: Russell also suggested compiling out NULL checks on ARM.
  I've posted an initial proposal for this (see
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/29/96), which I'm going to resubmit
  separately. If accepted, I'll adopt hwspinlocks to use it.

Patches are tested against linux-omap-2.6 master, which is 2.6.37-rc4 plus
omap material. All, but the third (the hwmod omap patch), apply on top of
mainline 2.6.37-rc4 as well

Changes v1->v2:
- Convert to a generic interface (Tony)
- API should silently succeed if framework isn't built (Greg)
- Don't use ERR_PTR pattern (Grant)
- Use tristate, fix and extend commentary (Kevin)
- Provide API flexibility regarding irq handling (Arnd, Grant)

  Note: after reviewing OMAP's L4 access times, and comparing them with
  external memory latencies, I can say that there is no notable difference.
  Because of that, we can safely treat the hwspinlock like we do
  with regular spinlocks: preemption should be disabled, but whether
  to disable interrupts or not is up to the caller.

  So despite the TRM's recommendation to always disable local interrupts
  when taking an OMAP Hardware Spinlock, I have decided to allow callers
  not to do that (by providing the full extent of hwspin_lock(),
  hwspin_lock_irq() and hwspin_lock_irqsave() API).

  Just like regular spinlocks, it's up to the callers to decide whether
  interrupts should be disabled or not.

  Sleeping, btw, is still prohibited of course.

Contributions:

Previous versions of an omap-specific hwspinlock driver circulated in
linux-omap several times, and received substantial attention and contribution
from many developers (see [1][2][3][4][5][6]):

Simon Que did the initial implementation and pushed several iterations
Benoit Cousson provided extensive review, help, improvements and hwmod support
Hari Kanigeri helped out when Simon was away
Sanjeev Premi, Santosh Shilimkar and Nishanth Menon did lots of review

I'd like to thank Benoit Cousson, Steve Krueger, Hari Kanigeri,
Nourredine Hamoudi and Richard Woodruff for useful discussions about
the OMAP Spinlock requirements and use-cases.

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.

+Hardware Spinlock Framework
+
+1. Introduction
+
+Hardware spinlock modules provide hardware assistance for synchronization
+and mutual exclusion between heterogeneous processors and those not operating
+under a single, shared operating system.
+
+For example, OMAP4 has dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP,
+each of which is running a different Operating System (the master, A9,
+is usually running Linux and the slave processors, the M3 and the DSP,
+are running some flavor of RTOS).
+
+A generic hwspinlock framework allows platform-independent drivers to use
+the hwspinlock device in order to access data structures that are shared
+between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism
+to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.
+
+This is necessary, for example, for Inter-processor communications:
+on OMAP4, cpu-intensive multimedia tasks are offloaded by the host to the
+remote M3 and/or C64x+ slave processors (by an IPC subsystem called Syslink).
+
+To achieve fast message-based communications, a minimal kernel support
+is needed to deliver messages arriving from a remote processor to the
+appropriate user process.
+
+This communication is based on simple data structures that is shared between
+the remote processors, and access to it is synchronized using the hwspinlock
+module (remote processor directly places new messages in this shared data
+structure).
+
+A common hwspinlock interface makes it possible to have generic, platform-
+independent, drivers.
+
+2. User API
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request(void);
+   - dynamically assign an hwspinlock and return its address, or NULL
+     in case an unused hwspinlock isn't available. Users of this
+     API will usually want to communicate the lock's id to the remote core
+     before it can be used to achieve synchronization.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request_specific(unsigned int id);
+   - assign a specific hwspinlock id and return its address, or NULL
+     if that hwspinlock is already in use. Usually board code will
+     be calling this function in order to reserve specific hwspinlock
+     ids for predefined purposes.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_free(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - free a previously-assigned hwspinlock; returns 0 on success, or an
+     appropriate error code on failure (e.g. -EINVAL if the hwspinlock
+     is already free).
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_timeout(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long timeout);
+   - lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock with a timeout limit (specified in
+     jiffies). If the hwspinlock is already taken, the function will busy loop
+     waiting for it to be released, but give up when the timeout meets jiffies.
+     If timeout is 0, the function will never give up (therefore if a faulty

+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock and enable local interrupts.
+     The caller should _never_ unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.

+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption and local
+     interrupts are enabled. This function will never sleep.
+
+  void
+  hwspin_unlock_irqrestore(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long *flags);

+     the given flags. This function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_get_id(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - retrieve id number of a given hwspinlock. This is needed when an
+     hwspinlock is dynamically assigned: before it can be used to achieve
+     mutual exclusion with a remote cpu, the id number should be communicated
+     to the remote task with which we want to synchronize.
+     Returns the hwspinlock id number, or -EINVAL if hwlock is null.
+
+3. Typical usage
+
+#include <linux/hwspinlock.h>
+#include <linux/err.h>
+
+int hwspinlock_example1(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;
+	int ret;

+
+	/* take the lock, spin for 1 sec if it's already taken */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_timeout(hwlock, msecs_to_jiffies(1000));
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	/*
+	 * we took the lock, do our thing now, but do NOT sleep
+	 */
+
+	/* release the lock */
+	hwspin_unlock(hwlock);
+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+int hwspinlock_example2(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;

+
+	/*
+	 * assign a specific hwspinlock id - this should be called early
+	 * by board init code.
+	 */
+	hwlock = hwspin_lock_request_specific(PREDEFINED_LOCK_ID);
+	if (!hwlock)
+		...
+
+	/* try to take it, but don't spin on it */
+	ret = hwspin_trylock(hwlock);
+	if (!ret) {
+		pr_info("lock is already taken\n");
+		return -EBUSY;
+	}
+
+	/*

+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+
+4. API for implementors
+
+  int hwspin_lock_register(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - to be called from the underlying platform-specific implementation, in
+     order to register a new hwspinlock instance. Can be called from an atomic
+     context (this function will not sleep) but not from within interrupt
+     context. Returns 0 on success, or appropriate error code on failure.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_unregister(unsigned int id);
+   - to be called from the underlying vendor-specific implementation, in order
+     to unregister an existing (and unused) hwspinlock instance.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (will not sleep) but not from
+     within interrupt context.
+     Returns the address of hwspinlock on success, or NULL on error (e.g.
+     if the hwspinlock is sill in use).
+
+5. struct hwspinlock
+
+This struct represents an hwspinlock instance. It is registered by the
+underlying hwspinlock implementation using the hwspin_lock_register() API.
+
+/**
+ * struct hwspinlock - vendor-specific hwspinlock implementation
+ *
+ * @dev: underlying device, will be used with runtime PM api
+ * @ops: vendor-specific hwspinlock handlers
+ * @id: a global, unique, system-wide, index of the lock.
+ * @lock: initialized and used by hwspinlock core
+ * @owner: underlying implementation module, used to maintain module ref count
+ */
+struct hwspinlock {
+	struct device *dev;
+	const struct hwspinlock_ops *ops;
+	int id;
+	spinlock_t lock;
+	struct module *owner;
+};
+
+The underlying implementation is responsible to assign the dev, ops, id and
+owner members. The lock member, OTOH, is initialized and used by the hwspinlock
+core.
+
+6. Implementation callbacks
+
+There are three possible callbacks defined in 'struct hwspinlock_ops':
+
+struct hwspinlock_ops {
+	int (*trylock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*unlock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*relax)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+};
+
+The first two callbacks are mandatory:
+
+The ->trylock() callback should make a single attempt to take the lock, and
+return 0 on failure and 1 on success. This callback may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->unlock() callback releases the lock. It always succeed, and it, too,
+may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->relax() callback is optional. It is called by hwspinlock core while
+spinning on a lock, and can be used by the underlying implementation to force
+a delay between two successive invocations of ->trylock(). It may _not_ sleep.

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.

+Hardware Spinlock Framework
+
+1. Introduction
+
+Hardware spinlock modules provide hardware assistance for synchronization
+and mutual exclusion between heterogeneous processors and those not operating
+under a single, shared operating system.
+
+For example, OMAP4 has dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP,
+each of which is running a different Operating System (the master, A9,
+is usually running Linux and the slave processors, the M3 and the DSP,
+are running some flavor of RTOS).
+
+A generic hwspinlock framework allows platform-independent drivers to use
+the hwspinlock device in order to access data structures that are shared
+between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism
+to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.
+
+This is necessary, for example, for Inter-processor communications:
+on OMAP4, cpu-intensive multimedia tasks are offloaded by the host to the
+remote M3 and/or C64x+ slave processors (by an IPC subsystem called Syslink).
+
+To achieve fast message-based communications, a minimal kernel support
+is needed to deliver messages arriving from a remote processor to the
+appropriate user process.
+
+This communication is based on simple data structures that is shared between
+the remote processors, and access to it is synchronized using the hwspinlock
+module (remote processor directly places new messages in this shared data
+structure).
+
+A common hwspinlock interface makes it possible to have generic, platform-
+independent, drivers.
+
+2. User API
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request(void);
+   - dynamically assign an hwspinlock and return its address, or NULL
+     in case an unused hwspinlock isn't available. Users of this
+     API will usually want to communicate the lock's id to the remote core
+     before it can be used to achieve synchronization.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request_specific(unsigned int id);
+   - assign a specific hwspinlock id and return its address, or NULL
+     if that hwspinlock is already in use. Usually board code will
+     be calling this function in order to reserve specific hwspinlock
+     ids for predefined purposes.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_free(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);

+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption and the local
+     interrupts are disabled so caller must not sleep, and is advised to

+     The function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_trylock_irqsave(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long *flags);
+   - attempt to lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock, but immediately fail if

+     The function will never sleep.
+
+  void hwspin_unlock(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock. Always succeed, and can be called
+     from any context (the function never sleeps). Note: code should _never_
+     unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked (there is no protection
+     against this).
+
+  void hwspin_unlock_irq(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock and enable local interrupts.
+     The caller should _never_ unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.
+     Doing so is considered a bug (there is no protection against this).
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption and local
+     interrupts are enabled. This function will never sleep.
+
+  void
+  hwspin_unlock_irqrestore(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long *flags);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock.
+     The caller should _never_ unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.
+     Doing so is considered a bug (there is no protection against this).
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption is reenabled,
+     and the state of the local interrupts is restored to the state saved at
+     the given flags. This function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_get_id(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - retrieve id number of a given hwspinlock. This is needed when an
+     hwspinlock is dynamically assigned: before it can be used to achieve
+     mutual exclusion with a remote cpu, the id number should be communicated
+     to the remote task with which we want to synchronize.
+     Returns the hwspinlock id number, or -EINVAL if hwlock is null.
+
+3. Typical usage
+
+#include <linux/hwspinlock.h>
+#include <linux/err.h>
+
+int hwspinlock_example1(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;
+	int ret;

+	hwlock = hwspin_lock_request();
+	if (!hwlock)

+
+	id = hwspin_lock_get_id(hwlock);
+	/* probably need to communicate id to a remote processor now */
+
+	/* take the lock, spin for 1 sec if it's already taken */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_timeout(hwlock, msecs_to_jiffies(1000));
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	/*
+	 * we took the lock, do our thing now, but do NOT sleep
+	 */
+
+	/* release the lock */
+	hwspin_unlock(hwlock);
+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+int hwspinlock_example2(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;
+	int ret;
+
+	/*
+	 * assign a specific hwspinlock id - this should be called early
+	 * by board init code.
+	 */
+	hwlock = hwspin_lock_request_specific(PREDEFINED_LOCK_ID);
+	if (!hwlock)
+		...
+
+	/* try to take it, but don't spin on it */
+	ret = hwspin_trylock(hwlock);
+	if (!ret) {
+		pr_info("lock is already taken\n");
+		return -EBUSY;
+	}
+
+	/*
+	 * we took the lock, do our thing now, but do NOT sleep

+
+	/* release the lock */
+	hwspin_unlock(hwlock);
+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+
+4. API for implementors
+
+  int hwspin_lock_register(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - to be called from the underlying platform-specific implementation, in
+     order to register a new hwspinlock instance. Can be called from an atomic
+     context (this function will not sleep) but not from within interrupt
+     context. Returns 0 on success, or appropriate error code on failure.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_unregister(unsigned int id);
+   - to be called from the underlying vendor-specific implementation, in order
+     to unregister an existing (and unused) hwspinlock instance.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (will not sleep) but not from
+     within interrupt context.
+     Returns the address of hwspinlock on success, or NULL on error (e.g.
+     if the hwspinlock is sill in use).
+
+5. struct hwspinlock
+
+This struct represents an hwspinlock instance. It is registered by the
+underlying hwspinlock implementation using the hwspin_lock_register() API.
+
+/**
+ * struct hwspinlock - vendor-specific hwspinlock implementation
+ *
+ * @dev: underlying device, will be used with runtime PM api
+ * @ops: vendor-specific hwspinlock handlers
+ * @id: a global, unique, system-wide, index of the lock.
+ * @lock: initialized and used by hwspinlock core
+ * @owner: underlying implementation module, used to maintain module ref count
+ */
+struct hwspinlock {
+	struct device *dev;
+	const struct hwspinlock_ops *ops;
+	int id;
+	spinlock_t lock;
+	struct module *owner;
+};
+
+The underlying implementation is responsible to assign the dev, ops, id and
+owner members. The lock member, OTOH, is initialized and used by the hwspinlock
+core.
+
+6. Implementation callbacks
+
+There are three possible callbacks defined in 'struct hwspinlock_ops':
+
+struct hwspinlock_ops {
+	int (*trylock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*unlock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*relax)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+};
+
+The first two callbacks are mandatory:
+
+The ->trylock() callback should make a single attempt to take the lock, and
+return 0 on failure and 1 on success. This callback may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->unlock() callback releases the lock. It always succeed, and it, too,
+may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->relax() callback is optional. It is called by hwspinlock core while
+spinning on a lock, and can be used by the underlying implementation to force
+a delay between two successive invocations of ->trylock(). It may _not_ sleep.

From: Ohad Ben-Cohen @ 2010-12-03 23:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework.

Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data
that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no
alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations.

+Hardware Spinlock Framework
+
+1. Introduction
+
+Hardware spinlock modules provide hardware assistance for synchronization
+and mutual exclusion between heterogeneous processors and those not operating
+under a single, shared operating system.
+
+For example, OMAP4 has dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP,
+each of which is running a different Operating System (the master, A9,
+is usually running Linux and the slave processors, the M3 and the DSP,
+are running some flavor of RTOS).
+
+A generic hwspinlock framework allows platform-independent drivers to use
+the hwspinlock device in order to access data structures that are shared
+between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism
+to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.
+
+This is necessary, for example, for Inter-processor communications:
+on OMAP4, cpu-intensive multimedia tasks are offloaded by the host to the
+remote M3 and/or C64x+ slave processors (by an IPC subsystem called Syslink).
+
+To achieve fast message-based communications, a minimal kernel support
+is needed to deliver messages arriving from a remote processor to the
+appropriate user process.
+
+This communication is based on simple data structures that is shared between
+the remote processors, and access to it is synchronized using the hwspinlock
+module (remote processor directly places new messages in this shared data
+structure).
+
+A common hwspinlock interface makes it possible to have generic, platform-
+independent, drivers.
+
+2. User API
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request(void);
+   - dynamically assign an hwspinlock and return its address, or NULL
+     in case an unused hwspinlock isn't available. Users of this
+     API will usually want to communicate the lock's id to the remote core
+     before it can be used to achieve synchronization.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_request_specific(unsigned int id);
+   - assign a specific hwspinlock id and return its address, or NULL
+     if that hwspinlock is already in use. Usually board code will
+     be calling this function in order to reserve specific hwspinlock
+     ids for predefined purposes.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_free(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - free a previously-assigned hwspinlock; returns 0 on success, or an
+     appropriate error code on failure (e.g. -EINVAL if the hwspinlock
+     is already free).
+     Can be called from an atomic context (this function will not sleep) but
+     not from within interrupt context.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_timeout(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long timeout);
+   - lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock with a timeout limit (specified in
+     jiffies). If the hwspinlock is already taken, the function will busy loop
+     waiting for it to be released, but give up when the timeout meets jiffies.
+     If timeout is 0, the function will never give up (therefore if a faulty

+     release the hwspinlock as soon as possible.
+     Returns 0 when successful and an appropriate error code otherwise (most

+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption is disabled,
+     local interrupts are disabled and their previous state is saved at the

+
+  int hwspin_trylock(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - attempt to lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock, but immediately fail if
+     it is already taken.
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption is disabled so
+     caller must not sleep, and is advised to release the hwspinlock as soon as
+     possible, in order to minimize remote cores polling on the hardware
+     interconnect.
+     Returns 0 on success and an appropriate error code otherwise (most
+     notably -EBUSY if the hwspinlock was already taken).
+     The function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_trylock_irq(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - attempt to lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock, but immediately fail if
+     it is already taken.
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption and the local
+     interrupts are disabled so caller must not sleep, and is advised to
+     release the hwspinlock as soon as possible.
+     Returns 0 on success and an appropriate error code otherwise (most
+     notably -EBUSY if the hwspinlock was already taken).
+     The function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_trylock_irqsave(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long *flags);
+   - attempt to lock a previously-assigned hwspinlock, but immediately fail if
+     it is already taken.
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption is disabled,
+     the local interrupts are disabled and their previous state is saved
+     at the given flags placeholder. The caller must not sleep, and is advised
+     to release the hwspinlock as soon as possible.
+     Returns 0 on success and an appropriate error code otherwise (most
+     notably -EBUSY if the hwspinlock was already taken).
+     The function will never sleep.
+
+  void hwspin_unlock(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock. Always succeed, and can be called
+     from any context (the function never sleeps). Note: code should _never_
+     unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked (there is no protection
+     against this).
+
+  void hwspin_unlock_irq(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock and enable local interrupts.
+     The caller should _never_ unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.
+     Doing so is considered a bug (there is no protection against this).
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption and local
+     interrupts are enabled. This function will never sleep.
+
+  void
+  hwspin_unlock_irqrestore(struct hwspinlock *hwlock, unsigned long *flags);
+   - unlock a previously-locked hwspinlock.
+     The caller should _never_ unlock an hwspinlock which is already unlocked.
+     Doing so is considered a bug (there is no protection against this).
+     Upon a successful return from this function, preemption is reenabled,
+     and the state of the local interrupts is restored to the state saved at
+     the given flags. This function will never sleep.
+
+  int hwspin_lock_get_id(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - retrieve id number of a given hwspinlock. This is needed when an
+     hwspinlock is dynamically assigned: before it can be used to achieve
+     mutual exclusion with a remote cpu, the id number should be communicated
+     to the remote task with which we want to synchronize.
+     Returns the hwspinlock id number, or -EINVAL if hwlock is null.
+
+3. Typical usage
+
+#include <linux/hwspinlock.h>
+#include <linux/err.h>
+
+int hwspinlock_example1(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;
+	int ret;
+
+	/* dynamically assign a hwspinlock */
+	hwlock = hwspin_lock_request();
+	if (!hwlock)
+		...
+
+	id = hwspin_lock_get_id(hwlock);
+	/* probably need to communicate id to a remote processor now */
+
+	/* take the lock, spin for 1 sec if it's already taken */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_timeout(hwlock, msecs_to_jiffies(1000));
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	/*
+	 * we took the lock, do our thing now, but do NOT sleep
+	 */
+
+	/* release the lock */
+	hwspin_unlock(hwlock);
+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+int hwspinlock_example2(void)
+{
+	struct hwspinlock *hwlock;
+	int ret;
+
+	/*
+	 * assign a specific hwspinlock id - this should be called early
+	 * by board init code.
+	 */
+	hwlock = hwspin_lock_request_specific(PREDEFINED_LOCK_ID);
+	if (!hwlock)
+		...
+
+	/* try to take it, but don't spin on it */
+	ret = hwspin_trylock(hwlock);
+	if (!ret) {
+		pr_info("lock is already taken\n");
+		return -EBUSY;
+	}
+
+	/*
+	 * we took the lock, do our thing now, but do NOT sleep
+	 */
+
+	/* release the lock */
+	hwspin_unlock(hwlock);
+
+	/* free the lock */
+	ret = hwspin_lock_free(hwlock);
+	if (ret)
+		...
+
+	return ret;
+}
+
+
+4. API for implementors
+
+  int hwspin_lock_register(struct hwspinlock *hwlock);
+   - to be called from the underlying platform-specific implementation, in
+     order to register a new hwspinlock instance. Can be called from an atomic
+     context (this function will not sleep) but not from within interrupt
+     context. Returns 0 on success, or appropriate error code on failure.
+
+  struct hwspinlock *hwspin_lock_unregister(unsigned int id);
+   - to be called from the underlying vendor-specific implementation, in order
+     to unregister an existing (and unused) hwspinlock instance.
+     Can be called from an atomic context (will not sleep) but not from
+     within interrupt context.
+     Returns the address of hwspinlock on success, or NULL on error (e.g.
+     if the hwspinlock is sill in use).
+
+5. struct hwspinlock
+
+This struct represents an hwspinlock instance. It is registered by the
+underlying hwspinlock implementation using the hwspin_lock_register() API.
+
+/**
+ * struct hwspinlock - vendor-specific hwspinlock implementation
+ *
+ * @dev: underlying device, will be used with runtime PM api
+ * @ops: vendor-specific hwspinlock handlers
+ * @id: a global, unique, system-wide, index of the lock.
+ * @lock: initialized and used by hwspinlock core
+ * @owner: underlying implementation module, used to maintain module ref count
+ */
+struct hwspinlock {
+	struct device *dev;
+	const struct hwspinlock_ops *ops;
+	int id;
+	spinlock_t lock;
+	struct module *owner;
+};
+
+The underlying implementation is responsible to assign the dev, ops, id and
+owner members. The lock member, OTOH, is initialized and used by the hwspinlock
+core.
+
+6. Implementation callbacks
+
+There are three possible callbacks defined in 'struct hwspinlock_ops':
+
+struct hwspinlock_ops {
+	int (*trylock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*unlock)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+	void (*relax)(struct hwspinlock *lock);
+};
+
+The first two callbacks are mandatory:
+
+The ->trylock() callback should make a single attempt to take the lock, and
+return 0 on failure and 1 on success. This callback may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->unlock() callback releases the lock. It always succeed, and it, too,
+may _not_ sleep.
+
+The ->relax() callback is optional. It is called by hwspinlock core while
+spinning on a lock, and can be used by the underlying implementation to force
+a delay between two successive invocations of ->trylock(). It may _not_ sleep.

Add hwspinlock support for the OMAP4 Hardware Spinlock device.

The Hardware Spinlock device on OMAP4 provides hardware assistance
for synchronization between the multiple processors in the system
(dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP).

From: Simon Que <sque@ti.com>

Build and register an hwspinlock platform device.

Although only OMAP4 supports the hardware spinlock module (for now),
it is still safe to run this initcall on all omaps, because hwmod lookup
will simply fail on hwspinlock-less platforms.

Build and register an hwspinlock platform device.

Although only OMAP4 supports the hardware spinlock module (for now),
it is still safe to run this initcall on all omaps, because hwmod lookup
will simply fail on hwspinlock-less platforms.

Does anything other than OMAP4 have one of these things?  And are there 
any devices that are commonly encountered across more than one platform 
that might have these hardware spinlocks, thus making it advantageous to 
have a common framework?

If not why a general purpose framework for a very chip specific feature?

There are chips with hardware atomic memory, but the only time it makes 
sense to use it is in conjunction with specialize on-chip devices.  So 
the implementation details are kept in the drivers rather than creating 
a general purpose hwatomic (with its hwatomic_add() et al.) type.

Such devices are just multiple processors that have no alternative
mechanism to accomplish synchronization.

OMAP4 has a few non-coherent heterogeneous processors that do not
support fancy synchronization primitives, so it needs this hwspinlock
peripheral.

Otherwise, I don't know how common that is (/might become), and I'd
hate speculating, but I suspect that OMAP is not going to be the only
platform with multiple coprocessors, that have no other means of
achieving synchronization, and with which inter-processor
communications is desired.

>
> If not why a general purpose framework for a very chip specific feature?

We started out with an omap-specific driver (see first iteration at
http://lwn.net/Articles/410375/), but were asked to make it a
platform-agnostic framework, in order to keep the IPC drivers that
will use it generic (and assuming that more users will show up for
such framework).

To me it sounds reasonable, but again, I prefer not to speculate how
many users will show up for this, if any.

Both ways (framework / omap-specific driver) will work for us just fine.

This case is a bit different IMHO: some of the potential users of
hwspinlocks are just generic IPC drivers that are by no means
platform-specific. It's not a special on-chip device: it's just one
processor, trying to achieve mutual exclusion with another processor,
before manipulating some shared data structure.

Can you please have a look and say if this looks OK ?

If it does, where would you prefer this to go through ?

Look at what, I don't see a patch here.

I've seen a lot of discussion about this, are all of the review comments
now addressed?  Like the most important one, why is this generic code if
it's only for one specific platform?

thanks,

Here's the complete patchset:

If you prefer, I can resubmit.

Yes, all comments were addressed in this v3 iteration, and this thread
has been idle for about 10 days.

>  Like the most important one, why is this generic code if
>  it's only for one specific platform?

We started out with an omap-specific driver, but Tony preferred that we
make this a platform-agnostic framework, in order to keep the IPC drivers that
will use it generic, and assuming that more users will show up for
such framework.

To me it sounds reasonable, but both ways (framework / omap-specific
driver) will work for us just fine, and I can switch back to a misc
driver if this is preferred.

The complete discussion of v1 is at:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1049802

We also discussed this at v2 of the patches with David, see the
complete discussion at:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1067016

Thanks,
Ohad.

I was just told about additional users for this (thanks Mugdha):

1) There are several platforms (such as omap3530 and omapl1xx) that
have no such hardware support, but would still need to use the same
IPC drivers (to communicate with their DSP).

The only way to achieve mutual exclusion on those platforms is by
using a shared-memory synchronization algorithm called Peterson's
Algorithm [1]. We would still need the same hwspinlock framework for
that - the busy looping, the timeout, the various locking schemes, the
resource allocation - are all still valid. The only difference is the
actual lock implementation.

2) The C6474, which is a multi-core DSP device [2], have Linux running
on one of its cores, and would be using the same IPC drivers, too.
C6474 has hardware support for synchronization, which would also
benefit from such hwspinlock module (btw the C6474 has a richer
hardware module that would need more than the hwspinlock framework
offer today - it also supports queuing, owner semantics and interrupt
notification to let a processor know when it acquires a lock, so it
wouldn't have to spin..)

Thanks,
Ohad.

That's because we are all busy with other things :(

Sorry, I really don't have the time at the moment to review this code,
nor does it seem to affect areas that I maintain, so I don't understand
what you are looking for from me.

Oh sure, my intention was only positive (to demonstrate that there are
no outstanding comments), sorry if it sounded differently than

Sorry for the noise - I contacted you because you maintain the driver
core, in the hope you could suggest where this can go through.

Tony, Andrew, can you please have a look ?

Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ohad.

Oh sure, my intention was only positive (to demonstrate that there are
no outstanding comments), sorry if it sounded differently than
intended.

Looks sane to me from omap point of view and it seems the locks
are now all timeout based:

Can you please have a look at this patch set (see link no. [1] below) ?

Short summary:

This hwspinlock framework adds support for hardware-based locking
devices, needed to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion
operations between remote processors that have no alternative
mechanism to do so.

This patch set adds a framework and an OMAP implementation. It had
circulated several times in the relevant mailing lists, and all
comments were addressed. The third version of this patch set [1] was
submitted about a month ago and so far there is no outstanding
comment.

Users for this framework that we are aware of:

1. OMAP4 and Davinci Netra (DM8168): both of these SoC have the same
hwspinlock module and will share the same host implementation.

2. Other platforms (such as omap3530 and omapl1xx) that have no such
hardware support, but would still need to achieve synchronization (to
communicate with their DSP).

The only way to achieve mutual exclusion on those platforms is by
using a shared-memory synchronization algorithm called Peterson's
Algorithm [2].

We would still need the same hwspinlock framework for that - the busy
looping, the timeout, the various locking schemes, the lock resource
allocation - are all still valid. The only difference would be the
actual lock implementation, therefore we will add another host
implementation
for these platforms.

3. The C6474, a multi-core DSP device [3], have Linux running on one
of its cores, and hardware support for synchronization (btw the C6474
has a richer hardware module that would need more than the hwspinlock
framework offer today - it also supports queuing, owner semantics and
interrupt notification to let a processor know when it acquires a
lock, so it wouldn't have to spin..).  Disclaimer: it will probably
take some time until c6x support is merged upstream, but this is
something that is being actively worked on [4].


Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ohad.

I looked - it looks reasonable.  This is exactly the wrong time to be
looking at large new patchsets - please refresh, retest and resend
after -rc1 is released?
