From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This patchset:
    (1)Preparation for adding GTDT support in arm_arch_timer
        1. Move some enums and marcos to header file
        2. Add a new enum for spi type.
        3. Improve printk relevant code

    (2)Introduce ACPI GTDT parser: drivers/acpi/gtdt.c
    Parse all kinds of timer in GTDT table of ACPI:arch timer,
    memory-mapped timer and SBSA Generic Watchdog timer.
    This driver can help to simplify all the relevant timer drivers,
    and separate all the ACPI GTDT knowledge from them.

    (3)Simplify ACPI code for arm_arch_timer

    (4)Add GTDT support for ARM memory-mapped timer

Changelog:
v6: split the GTDT driver to 4 parts: basic, arch_timer, memory-mapped timer,
    and SBSA Generic Watchdog timer
    Improve driver by suggestions and example code from Daniel Lezcano

v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/24/356
    Sorting out all patches, simplify the API of GTDT driver:
    GTDT driver just fills the data struct for arm_arch_timer driver.

v4: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-acpi/2016-March/006667.html
    Delete the kvm relevant patches
    Separate two patches for sorting out the code for arm_arch_timer.
    Improve irq info export code to allow missing irq info in GTDT table.

v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/658
    Improve GTDT driver code:
      (1)improve pr_* by defining pr_fmt(fmt)
      (2)simplify gtdt_sbsa_gwdt_init
      (3)improve gtdt_arch_timer_data_init, if table is NULL, it will try
      to get GTDT table.
    Move enum ppi_nr to arm_arch_timer.h, and add enum spi_nr.
    Add arm_arch_timer get ppi from DT and GTDT support for kvm.

v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/2/10
    Rebase to latest kernel version(4.4-rc3).
    Fix the bug about the config problem,
    use CONFIG_ACPI_GTDT instead of CONFIG_ACPI in arm_arch_timer.c

v1: The first upstreaming version: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/28/553

Fu Wei (10):
  clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Move enums and defines to header
    file
  clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Add a new enum for spi type
  clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Improve printk relevant code

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

To support the arm_arch_timer via ACPI we need to share defines and enums
between the driver and the ACPI parser code.

Split out the relevant defines and enums into arm_arch_timer.h.
No functional change.

This patch add a new enum "spi_nr" and use it in the driver.
Just for code's readability, no functional change.

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This patch add a new enum "spi_nr" and use it in the driver.
Just for code's readability, no functional change.

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This patch defines pr_fmt(fmt) for all pr_* functions,
then the pr_* don't need to add "arch_timer:" everytime.

Also delete some Blank Spaces in arch_timer_banner,
according to the suggestion from checkpatch.pl.

No functional change.

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This patch adds support for parsing arch timer in GTDT,
provides some kernel APIs to parse all the PPIs and
always-on info in GTDT and export them.

By this driver, we can simplify arm_arch_timer drivers, and
separate the ACPI GTDT knowledge from it.

The patch update arm_arch_timer driver to use the function
provided by the new GTDT driver of ACPI.
By this way, arm_arch_timer.c can be simplified, and separate
all the ACPI GTDT knowledge from this timer driver.

* [PATCH v6 08/10] acpi: Add memory-mapped timer support in GTDT driver
@ 2016-06-29 18:15   ` fu.wei
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 124+ messages in thread
From: fu.wei at linaro.org @ 2016-06-29 18:15 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This driver adds support for parsing memory-mapped timer in GTDT:
provide a kernel APIs to parse GT Block Structure in GTDT,
export all the info by filling the struct which provided
by parameter(pointer of the struct).

By this driver, we can add ACPI support for memory-mapped timer in
arm_arch_timer drivers, and separate the ACPI GTDT knowledge from it.

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei@linaro.org>

This driver adds support for parsing SBSA Generic Watchdog timer
in GTDT, parse all info in SBSA Generic Watchdog Structure in GTDT,
and creating a platform device with that information.

This allows the operating system to obtain device data from the
resource of platform device. The platform device named "sbsa-gwdt"
can be used by the ARM SBSA Generic Watchdog driver.

Please combine this one with the [5-6/10].  Splitting them the way you

GTDT is ARM-specific AFAICS.

If so, why do we need that code to reside in drivers/acpi/ ?

That's not enough.  The [0/10] will not go into the git log, mind you.

GTDT is part of ACPI spec, drivers/acpi/ is for driver code of
ACPI spec, I think it can stay in drivers/acpi/ from this point
of view, am I right?

Not a problem of this patch, but arch_timer_teardown is a function
name? I can't find where it's defined...

I think we can leave arch_timer as it but update it to:

pr_debug("arch_timer_stop disable IRQ%d cpu #%d\n",

Others are look good to me.

Not a problem of this patch, but arch_timer_teardown is a function
name? I can't find where it's defined...

I think we can leave arch_timer as it but update it to:

pr_debug("arch_timer_stop disable IRQ%d cpu #%d\n",

Others are look good to me.

The question is not "Can it?", but "Does it need to?".

It is in the spec, but still there's only one architecture needing it.

There is no way to test it on any other architecture and no reason to build it
for any other architecture, so why does it need to be located in drivers/acpi/ ?

Thanks,
Rafael

I'm fine to move it to other places such as arch/arm64/kernel/, but I
would like to ask ARM64 maintainer's suggestion for this.

Will, Catalin, what's your opinion on this?

I'm fine to move it to other places such as arch/arm64/kernel/, but I
would like to ask ARM64 maintainer's suggestion for this.

Will, Catalin, what's your opinion on this?

Thanks

Hi Rafael,

what is the problem of having it in drivers/acpi ?

There are cpufreq-dt, speedstep*, tegra124-* in drivers/cpufreq.

clocksource-probe which is DT based with different drivers using it in 
drivers/clocksource with a pletore of different archs.

Cstate code which is only used by x86 is in drivers/acpi, it is only 
used by x86/ia64 and it isn't a problem. There is a small chunk in 
arch/x86/kernel/acpi and it doesn't facilitate the comprehension of the 
code.

IMHO, having all ACPI code in the same directory will encourage the 
consolidation.

We don't have any device-tree code for the architected timer under
arch/arm64, so I don't see why we should need anything for ACPI either.

There's no reason for it to be there.

Yes, they are, but for a reason.  Having them in there makes it easier to
rework and clean up the core.

So maybe the GTDT code should be there too?

It is a problem.  drivers/acpi/ is not the right place for arch-specific code.

The consolidation of what exactly?

In particular, how does the GTDT code in drivers/acpi/ help to consolidate
anything?

And I don't see a reason for the GTDT code to be there in drivers/acpi/.

What gives?

Maybe it should go to the same place as the analogus DT code, then?

And I don't see a reason for the GTDT code to be there in drivers/acpi/.

What gives?

Maybe it should go to the same place as the analogus DT code, then?

Well, since there are things like acpi_lpss in there, my position here
is kind of weak. :-)

That said I'm not particularly happy with having them in
drivers/acpi/, so I definitely won't object against attempts to moving
them somewhere else.

> Maybe it should go to the same place as the analogus DT code, then?

I'm mostly concerned about how (and by whom) that code is going to be
maintained going forward, though.  I also think it should be made
clear that it is ARM64-only.

Can you explain why it is a problem ?

I do not understand this assertion regarding what happened during the
last years with different subsystems where the drivers were moved from
their arch specific directories to the drivers directory (cpufreq,
cpuidle, clockevent, clk, etc ...) and resulted at the end to a code
refactoring and consolidation.

Why ACPI should follow the opposite rule ?

The consolidation of the ACPI code in general which is the
counter-example of self-contained code.

If I imagine we group all ACPI code under a common directory, the first
example coming in my mind is the sharing of private headers, reducing
the scope of exported functions and global variables (eg. acpi_disabled).

That say, I can understand grouping all the ACPI into a single directory
will make it fall under a single umbrella's maintainer and that could be
a nightmare to maintain as it covers a lot of different features.
However, I believe that could be solved by clearly identifying who takes
care of what.

Because drivers/acpi/ is for common and generic ACPI code.  Maybe it
should not be located under drivers/, but that's a different matter.

Do you actually realize how much ACPI code is there in the kernel and
that moving it all into one directory would be totally
counter-productive?

You seem to be thinking that ACPI is something like cpufreq, where you
have the core and the drivers and nothing but the drivers uses the
core, but that's not the case.

And one way of doing that is to put things in different places in the
kernel source tree.

And one way of doing that is to put things in different places in the

Because drivers/acpi/ is for common and generic ACPI code.  Maybe it
should not be located under drivers/, but that's a different matter.

Do you actually realize how much ACPI code is there in the kernel and
that moving it all into one directory would be totally
counter-productive?

You seem to be thinking that ACPI is something like cpufreq, where you
have the core and the drivers and nothing but the drivers uses the
core, but that's not the case.

So is this a documentation issue in which case Fu Wei can add that to
the file to explain its limited to ARM64. Or we could even rename the
file acpi_arm64_gtdt.c

It seems a pity as the comment on this series were minors to block
things on a filename/location.

Let me repeat what I said above:

I'm mostly concerned about how (and by whom) that code is going to be
maintained going forward.

This is not about documentation, it is about responsibility.

Honestly, I don't think I'm the right maintainer to apply the patch
introducing this code and then handle bug reports regarding it and so
on.  That has to be done by somebody else.

That's one thing.

Another one is the question I asked a few messages ago: Why having the
GTDT code in drivers/acpi/ is actually useful to anyone?  It
definitely would not be useful to me as the maintainer of
drivers/acpi/, but maybe it would be useful to somebody for a specific
practical reason.  Or is it just "let's put this into drivers/acpi/
for the lack of a better place"?

I have not received a good answer to this one yet.

Thanks,
Rafael

Let me repeat what I said above:

I'm mostly concerned about how (and by whom) that code is going to be
maintained going forward.

This is not about documentation, it is about responsibility.

Honestly, I don't think I'm the right maintainer to apply the patch
introducing this code and then handle bug reports regarding it and so
on.  That has to be done by somebody else.

That's one thing.

Another one is the question I asked a few messages ago: Why having the
GTDT code in drivers/acpi/ is actually useful to anyone?  It
definitely would not be useful to me as the maintainer of
drivers/acpi/, but maybe it would be useful to somebody for a specific
practical reason.  Or is it just "let's put this into drivers/acpi/
for the lack of a better place"?

I have not received a good answer to this one yet.

Thanks,
Rafael

I'm working on ACPI for years and upstreamed the ARM64 ACPI core
support (with lots of people's help), I'm willing to maintain the ARM64
ACPI code under drivers/acpi/ if no objections.

Having GTDT code in drivers/acpi/ is useful as it is code that is used
by two different subsystems, clocksource and watchdog,and where people
look by default for utility ACPI code.

If the mostly concerned thing (maintainer ship) is settled down, the
second question would be easily solved.

OK

Can the ARM64-specific code go under drivers/acpi/arm64/ then, for clarity?

OK

Can the ARM64-specific code go under drivers/acpi/arm64/ then, for clarity?

I would ask you please to add Sudeep and myself for the ARM64 specific
ACPI code maintainership too.

> Can the ARM64-specific code go under drivers/acpi/arm64/ then, for clarity?

It can, but I do not understand why x86 should not have a separate
directory for all x86 specific stuff too then.

Anyway let's avoid these petty arguments, I agree there must be some
sort of ARM64 ACPI maintainership for the reasons you mentioned above.

The same logic applies to eg ioapic.c but anyway, see above, if it
can help having a separate subdirectory let's do it.

It should. :-)

It doesn't have it ATM, but that doesn't mean it's all OK.

Well, some of the x86-specific stuff goes into arch/x86/kernel/acpi/, so it
has something at least.

In any case, IMO, if some code is only used by one architecture, it should be
clear that this is the case, and moving that code into a separate directory
helps to achieve that.

> Anyway let's avoid these petty arguments, I agree there must be some

To avoid confusion on who's going to push stuff to Linus, I can do that,
but it must be clear whose ACKs are needed for that to happen.  That may be
one person or all of you, whatever you decide.

I can take pull requests too if that's more convenient.

Thanks,
Rafael

For this, it seems we have a decision now, so I will post  v7 tomorrow
following this decision:
drivers/acpi/arm64/acpi_gtdt.c

I think that is a very good idea, I also believe Hanjun can maintain it well.

I think the reasoning is the same, to avoid confusion and avoid stepping
on each other toes it is best to have a single gatekeeper (still
multiple maintainer entries to keep patches reviewed correctly), if no
one complains I will do that and a) provide ACKs (I will definitely
require and request Hanjun and Sudeep ones too appropriately on a per
patch basis) and b) send you pull requests.

Having a maintainer per file would be farcical, I really do not
expect that amount of traffic for drivers/acpi/arm64 therefore I
really doubt there is any risk of me slowing things down.

Does this sound reasonable ? Comments/complaints welcome, please

I think the reasoning is the same, to avoid confusion and avoid stepping
on each other toes it is best to have a single gatekeeper (still
multiple maintainer entries to keep patches reviewed correctly), if no
one complains I will do that and a) provide ACKs (I will definitely
require and request Hanjun and Sudeep ones too appropriately on a per

Agree, but having three of us in maintainer entries in MAINTAINERS
file will help the patches be reviewed correctly with more eyes.

Fair enough. What I'm concern most is land ACPI on ARM64 soundly,
let's do that :)

OK, let's back to this patch set, Fuwei already prepared a new version
of patches [1] (moving acpi_gtdt.c to drivers/acpi/arm64/ and add a
maintainer entries patch), shall we review and comment on this patch
set for now, or just let Fuwei send out the new version?

maintainer entries patch), shall we review and comment on this patch
set for now, or just let Fuwei send out the new version?
