The patchs add smp support for Allwinner A20. It add cpuregister node in dts forsmp configure. The patchs also add a options for phy count timer to replace vir count timer as ARM arch timer clocksource. About ARM arch timer: 1. Current kernel use vir count timer, vir count timer can be accessed in any cpu mode for kernel, but it need bootloader set vir count offset rigister zero at first. 2. Phy count timer can be accessed in most cpu mode for kernel except NS-PL1 mode when register CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is set to zero. To ensure to use phy count timer, bootloader should set register CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is 1 at first. At all, to ensure kernel can use arch timer, bootload should set some generic timer register(cntvoff or cnthctl) at first. the kernel should select which count timer by reading current kernel running mode.
Fan Rong (4):
Add smp support for Allwinner A20(sunxi 7i).
Add cpuconfig nodes in dts for smp configure.
Add physical count arch timer support for clocksource in ARMv7.
Add arch count timer node in dts for Allwinner A20(sunxi 7i).

This cannot be a compile-time option as above in a multiplatform build.
Other paltforms (e.g. KVM guests) *must* use the virtual counters to get
any semblance of a consistent view of time.
Why can the bootloader not be fixed to set CNTVOFF (or to boot the
kernel in Hyp mode)?
Thanks,
Mark.

This seems to get called repeatedly in sunxi7i_boot_secondary, so you're
repeatedly trying to find the cc node and mapping it, but never
unmapping it. That's both a waste of time and a waste of address space.
It would be nicer to map this once at the start. That seems simpler than
stashing the physical address and mapping/unmapping it repeatedly.

You can use %p to print pointers, without casting to an integer type.

As this may be called repeatedly, from a function that can return
errors, it would be nice to propagate an error code if there's a
failure.

Even ignoring the above, as long as your dt is correct
arm_dt_init_cpu_maps (called from stup_arch) will set the cpus as
possible (and handles arbitrary MPIDR values as may be the case in
multi-cluster).
You don't need this function -- please remove it.

A look in smp.c shows smp_prepare_cpus is perfectly happy to not have a
smp_prepare_cpus callback. You don't need this function -- please remove
it.

This can fail. You should propagate the error when it does.

I believe only smp_boot_secondary is necessary here.

NAK - There's no binding document for this in mainline or this series.

This seems to get called repeatedly in sunxi7i_boot_secondary, so you're
repeatedly trying to find the cc node and mapping it, but never
unmapping it. That's both a waste of time and a waste of address space.
It would be nicer to map this once at the start. That seems simpler than
stashing the physical address and mapping/unmapping it repeatedly.

You can use %p to print pointers, without casting to an integer type.

As this may be called repeatedly, from a function that can return
errors, it would be nice to propagate an error code if there's a
failure.

Invalid comment. Judging by the encoding, this is the L2CTLR, not the
CCSIDR.

Even ignoring the above, as long as your dt is correct
arm_dt_init_cpu_maps (called from stup_arch) will set the cpus as
possible (and handles arbitrary MPIDR values as may be the case in
multi-cluster).
You don't need this function -- please remove it.

A look in smp.c shows smp_prepare_cpus is perfectly happy to not have a
smp_prepare_cpus callback. You don't need this function -- please remove
it.

This can fail. You should propagate the error when it does.

I believe only smp_boot_secondary is necessary here.

Also, for future reference:
1. Use a single blank lines to separate thing like 'menu' and 'endmenu'.
2. Wrap your the help sensibly, don't put it all on one line.
3. It's conventional to use tabs up to below "help" and then two spaces
to indent the help text.
4. "," always has one space after it.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I find the above text difficult to understand. It jumps
between several issues and isn't well formatted.
You seem to be suggesting a kernel change (using CNTPCT), but also
bootloader changes (setting CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN) to make this possible at
all. If the bootloader needs to be modified, why can it not be modified
to set CNTVOFF (or to boot the kernel in Hyp where it can set it
itself)?
I'm not sure what you mean by selecting which timer to use be reading
the current running mode. We currently decide to use CNTVCT if booted in
PL1, or CNTPCT if booted in Hyp. I assume this isn't the mode you're
referring to?
Thanks,
Mark.

What exactly does this spinlock protect? The core code already provides
the guarantee that only one CPU will be brought online or taken offline
at a time.

If at all possible, your bootloader should set CNTFREQ, and
clock-frequency should only be used as a last resort when it's
impossible to get it to set CNTFREQ. It's not possible to set CNTFREQ
from the non-secure side, so guests (which might not be Linux, and might
not handle DT in the same way) may see a completely wrong frequency
value.

If at all possible, your bootloader should set CNTFREQ, and
clock-frequency should only be used as a last resort when it's
impossible to get it to set CNTFREQ. It's not possible to set CNTFREQ
from the non-secure side, so guests (which might not be Linux, and might
not handle DT in the same way) may see a completely wrong frequency
value.

It can:

I was waiting for Andre's hyp mode u-boot patches to land before posting
the sunxi bits on top. I'm not sure what the status of that is.

I think kernel should can support both CNTVCT and CNTPCT. Yes, if
bootloader have set CNTVOFF to zero, then CNTVCT is OK, kvm guest
using CNTVCT can run more efficient then that using CNTPCT. but if
bootloader dont set it, how about kernel booting? I think kernel
should try it's best to boot and run ok even bootload dont set any
generic timer register including CNTVOFF and CNTHCTL. So i gave a
compile options using CNTPCT. That is only options, If CNTVCT can not
working, you have others choice.
Of cause, It is best that kerne can select which timer count is used
in running time,

Yep, kernel can run PL1 NS=1, PL1 NS=0, PL2. If kernel can know
current running Mode.then kernel can chose which timer is OK in
running time. 1: If kernel is runing at PL2 and PL1 NS=0, then CNTPCT
is OK in any case even CNTVOFF is not zero and CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is
zero. 2: if kernel is running at PL1 NS=1,then kernel maybe should
select CNTVCT. But it has risk to using CNTVCT when CNTVOFF is not
zero.
How to deal with the case CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is zero and CNTVOFF is not
zero? current kernel cant using any arch timer incluing CNTVCT and
CNTPCT. with this case, I think kernel should use CNTVCT by other
ways: Kernel runing CPUn read CNTVCT and save it to local variable
for example InitVctVALUEn in initialization, then kernel running CPUn
read timer later return a value as ReadTIMERn=CNTVCTn-InitVctVALUEn,
This way can run in any generic timer registe set and in any kernel
runing mode. I try to write this patch for new way. But the new way
should need more time than old in read timer funcation because it
need more calculate.
.
Thanks for your question.

Yes I accept compile-time option is not perfect in my pre email,
But,Why Ohter paltforms *must* use the virtual counters? I think KVM
should not limit how to use arch timer in its guest OS. Of cause, if
KVM guest use vct can be more efficiency then that use pct. but KVM
should and must support guest OS to access pct.

I want kernel should try its best to boot and run with the bootloader
not be fixed.
BTW, I also hope all bootloader fix the problem.

Yes, My bootloader dont set it, and I have to set it at dtsi fot

The virtual counter is there for a good reason: it allows a virtual
machine to:
- see its time starting at zero
- be migrated to another host without seeing time shifting one way or
another.
So using the physical counter in a VM is a recipe for disaster if you're
doing any kind of time tracking. The counter being used for
sched_clock(), we cannot afford to see it being shifted one way or another.
If you have issues with the use of the virtual counter, I suggest you
fix your firmware to have a consistent CNTVOFF across CPUs. And/or even
better, boot your kernel in HYP mode, as it will take care of setting
CNTVOFF to zero.
Cheers,
M.

I accept that virtual count is better in VM than physical counter
because hypversion can modify VM timer by set CNTVOFF. But I think
hypversior should support that VM should can access physical counter,
When VM use physical count. hypversior could trap accessing physical
count from guest OS, and return a value that guest OS want liking
hypervisor set CNTVOFF for virtual counter. On this way, VM could too
see its timer at zero and VM could too be migrated to another host
without seeing time shifting.

What should be done in bootloader and what should be done in kernel?
As you said, If kernel boot from hyp, Kernel can set CNTVOFF to zero
directly, does we add the code to set CNTVOFF in kernel? But, if
kernel boot from PL1 NS=0, Does kernel need to switch hyp mode to
set CNTVOFF and return PL1 NS=0 mode? Or,kernel dont care it because
kernel believe bootloader have set CNTVOFF before?

I urge you to read the ARM ARM, and specifically the section dedicated
to trapping access to CP15 operations. If you do, you'll quickly notice
that you *cannot* trap accesses to the timer subsystem.
All you can do is disable access to the physical timer/counter,
resulting in an UNDEF in the *guest*.
Additionally, please realise the overhead of trapping is enormous, and
that we do try very hard to minimise it. Why do you think we went out of
our way to ensure that host and guest would use different timers, always?

In an ideal world, the bootloader should set CNTVOFF to zero. The fact
that the kernel does it too when booted in HYP mode is to preserve
itself from from broken bootloaders.
CNTVOFF can only be setup from either HYP or Secure Monitor mode with
SCR.NS == 1, so if you run your kernel in secure mode, it is always best
to do it in the bootloader.

CNTVOFF doesn't need to be zero -- when a guest runs under a hypervisor,
CNTVOFF may change across a suspend/resume of a VM (to give the guest
the illusion that time wasn't ticking when it wasn't running). All
that's required is that all the CPUs have the same CNTVOFF value, and
this has been valid for all platforms so far.
Does CNTVOFF vary between your CPUs, or are they a consistent value
(event if it's not zero)?
For ARMv8 systems, CNTVOFF and CNTHCTL reset to an UNDEFINED value, so
we cannot rely on the physical timers and counters being available --
the firmware and/or hypervisor must set at least one of them for an OS
to be able to use the system. The virtual timers and counters are
*always* available to PL1/EL1, so our best bet is to use them.
I'd prefer not to have to have a run-time solution to a problem that can
be avoided entirely with a simple modification to the bootloader now.

I don't think that would work. You have no way of ensuring that all CPUs
read CNTVCT at the same time, so they may record offsets that give them
different views of time. Consider the case that CNTVOFF was zero on all
CPUs. CPU0 and CPU1 might read CNTVCT at different instants, and CPU1
could record its offset as 100 while CPU1 could record its offset as
2000. That would leave CPU1 thinking it's further ahead in time than
CPU0, which could break all sorts of things. AFAICS there's no way of
telling this apart from each CPU booting with a different CNTVOFF.
As SMP support for this platform is not yet in mainline, and the
bootloader can be fixed to set CNTVOFF (as KVM and Xen do for guests),
we should get the bootloader to set CNTVOFF to a consistent value across
all CPUs.

we should get the bootloader to set CNTVOFF to a consistent value across
all CPUs.

I read it again. The ARMv7 manual said "Is accessible from Non-secure
PL1 modes only when CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is set to 1. When
CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN is set to 0, any attempt to access CNTPCT from a
Non-secure PL1 mode ***generates a Hyp Trap exception***, see Hyp Trap
exception on page B1-1206" in B8.1.2. but I dont find a special hyp
trap control for accessing CNTPCT in manual. As you said HSTR cannot
trap accessing of CP15 c14. What happer when OS access CNTPCT from PL1
NS=1 mode with CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN=0 ??? AmI wrong for understanding
the manual?
Thanks.
BTW: And I fond xen have support to trap accessing CNTPCT by this
patch on http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-08/msg00452.html.

I agree it, Bootloader do it better.

That's interesting, as I never noticed this particular line in the ARM
ARM. I'll investigate this, thanks for bringing it up.
This doesn't change the fact that using the physical timer/counter in a
VM is (or can be) horribly expensive, and should be avoided at all cost.

What would happen exactly if a kernel expects CNTVOFF to be set to 0,
and that your bootloader don't set it?
From what you're saying, it's will be set by the kernel if it's booted
in hypervisor mode, but what if it's not?
The ARM documentation says that the CNTVOFF register will hold an
undefined value, how would that affect the kernel?
Thanks,
Maxime

What would happen exactly if a kernel expects CNTVOFF to be set to 0,
and that your bootloader don't set it?
>From what you're saying, it's will be set by the kernel if it's booted
in hypervisor mode, but what if it's not?
The ARM documentation says that the CNTVOFF register will hold an
undefined value, how would that affect the kernel?
Thanks,
Maxime

It doesn't really matter if it is set to 0. What actually matters is
that all the CPUs have the same value. Otherwise, you will have time
reported differently depending on the CPU you're looking from.

See above. Without a consistent view of time across CPUs, you're in
deep trouble.

HI all,
I have modified uboot code to switch monitor mode and to set
cntvoff for all smp cpus for allwinner a20 cpu. It works, kernel can
run ok without using cntpct. I will commit the path for uboot after
reviewing the code.
