[PATCH] [ARM] Kirkwood: Prevent kernel from crashing if PCIe bridge is present

[Dieter Kiermaier]

Hi,

first: thanks to all for the help while debugging!

Below you can find a first version of the patch which enables PCI on my openrd-base board
together with a PCIe->PCI bridge.
Please let me know if something is wrong with it.

This works together with Maxime Bizon's patch to enable pci bridges:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2009-November/003784.html

Regards,
Dieter

Subject: [PATCH] [ARM] Kirkwood: Prevent kernel from crashing if PCIe bridge is present

Clear bit 2 of CPU configuration register at offset 0x20100
to disable MBUS-L Error propagation.
If this bit isn't disabled kernel crash during bootup when booted
with current mainline u-boot (version U-Boot 2009.08-00208-g9ef0569)
and a PCIe -> PCI bridge is connected to the system.

Ewwwwwwww. :)

If you dig through arch/arm/mach-orion5x/include/mach/orion5x.h you 
should be able to work out that 0xf1020100 is probably best replaced 
with something like (ORION5X_BRIDGE_PHYS_BASE | 0x100), once you add
a matching ORION5X_BRIDGE_PHYS_BASE entry alongside the
ORION5X_BRIDGE_VIRT_BASE[1].  Well, *I* prefer that sort of thing. :)

As was recently explained to me[2], that code is going to run on *all* 
kirkword platforms, not just the OpenRD.  I am guessing you want to 
shove your additional code into a seperate int returning __init function 
and call it from the machine_is_openrd_base() clause.

Also, if for some strange reason the ioremap() failed, you are going to 
call iounmap(NULL) so that should probably be moved up a line into the 
'if' clause?  However on this one I *think* I have been told in the past 
it cannot fail so you might be able to remove the 'if' clause 
altogether.

Cheers

If we go on thinking about that - I would prefer place the code - without the magick key ;) - 
in kirkwood_pcie_init()?
It will affect later or sooner more kirkwood boards if people switch form marvell stock u-boot
to mainline u-boot.
What do you think about that?

to [2]:
Hm, is this really right? Why is there a function called openrd_base_pci_init() which is inside a file
called openrd_base-setup.c and this function is called on a sheevaplug?

I couldn't believe that (but to be honest I don't know it!).
The 2 board do still have different machnumbers, right?
I've expected that these machnumbers are to determine
which board / hardware the kernel / u-boot is running.
Isn't this the case?

No idea, I could try it on both my SheevaPlug and OpenRD-Client, but 
as they are 'in production' and 200 miles away from where I am...I am 
slightly hesitate to update u-boot and test a kernel :)

My understanding is that the subsys_initcall() primes a particular 
function to be called at a particular point when the kernel fires up.  
As this code is *always* run regardless of machine ID[1] then you can 
run into problems as that code will be run on SheevaPlugs too.

include/linux/init.h might explain things better than I have.  It means 
the PCI init code is called *after* all the architecture/platform stuff 
is done, but before device drivers and filesystem support is enabled.

Cheers
 
[1] look at the MACHINE_START function, the entry points do not hook 
	anywhere into the PCI init code, that is called 'out-of-bound'

In the end, this is what the patch does, but the issue it solves is (at
least in theory) not specific to PCI.

And this should really explain why the crash happens (which is because
there is a PCI master abort because the PCI scanning code probes all
possible device IDs on the secondary side of the bridge).

This issue is not OpenRD-specific, so shouldn't be handled in the
OpenRD board setup file.

There's no need to ioremap/iounmap -- the 1MB block of CPU peripheral
registers is permanently mapped into the kernel virtual address
region.

How about something like this instead?  (Since you did most of the work
I don't mind having you as the From: on the patch.)

    [ARM] Kirkwood: disable propagation of mbus error to the CPU local bus
    
    Disable propagation of mbus errors to the CPU local bus, as this causes
    mbus errors (which can occur for example for PCI aborts) to throw CPU
    aborts, which we're not set up to deal with.

linux/io.h please (and please ensure future patches similarly use that

thanks for being patient and explain it that even a newbie can understand what's going on here!

Your version looks much more comprehensible so I would prefer your's.
And I've no problem with not being mentioned "from:" because most of the
work is done by Maxime, Alexander and yourself!

I've only triggered it - so reported by fits fine!

Will this patch together with Maximes patch:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2009-November/003784.html
applied to marvell orion.git and also upstream?

Sorry for my stupid question but was is the difference?
Is it that asm/* provides "architecture specific headers and linux/*
abstract this on level more from the hardware?

I've taken it form LDD (thanks Alessandro!)  but never thought about it.

Something new I learned. I've read much docs but everyday there is something new
like checkpatch.pl - sorry for missing that.

You can build the kernel with support for multiple boards, let's say
sheevaplug and OpenRD base/client. Since this function is marked as a
subsys_initcall, it will _always_ be called by the kernel when it has
reached far enough into the startup - it doesn't matter which board
support this function resides in.

Thus, even if you run on a sheevaplug board, it will run
openrd_base_pci_init() and clear your bit. Like Alexander, I also did
the same mistake :-)


Of course, in this particular case, it *should* probably be done for
all boards - just not in the openrd_base board support code!

Yes.  Since there is also a general move to propagate stuff out of
architecture files into generic files, it will save hastle later on
if this stuff is already correct.

LDD is sometimes out dated with things like this.  The general advice
here is that for any asm/foo.h, if there exists linux/foo.h then linux/foo.h
should be included instead.  There are exceptions to this, in particular
asm/irq.h and asm/memory.h (since the linux/ equivalents aren't really
to do with these.)
