[PATCH 0/2] powerpc: define and implement MPIC message register support

[Meador Inge]

This patch set defines a binding for FSL MPIC message registers and implements
an API for accessing those message registers.  Testing was done on a MPC8572DS
in an Linux-Linux AMP setup using OpenMCAPI (www.openmcapi.org) to communicate
between OS instances.  The message register API is used by the OpenMCAPI shared 
memory driver to send notifications between cores.

interrupt-parent is not required; it can be inherited from an ancestor.  In
any case, this description doesn't say anything specifically about MPIC
message nodes.

Could be more simply worded as, "If not present, all message registers in
the group are available."

I think the "in order to be discovered" statement is specific to your use
case.

The hw docs refer to "group A" and "group B", not "block 0" and "block 1".

Plus, I'd put "mpic-" in the alias name.

A mask of 0x5 specifies message registers 0 and 2 (as do interrupts 0xb0
and 0xb2), not 0 and 3.

Are you suggesting that the alias should be called: 'mpic-groupA',
'mpic-groupB', 'mpic-groupC', etc... ?  Or just that I should use the terminology
group instead of block where discussing things in the binding?

I was thinking something like "mpic-msgr-group-a", "mpic-msgr-group-b" --
though if you want to use numbers instead to more easily map to potential
APIs, that's OK.

Hmmm ...  In the MPC8572E and P1022DS manuals I don't see the terminology
group used for message registers.  The MPIC global timers on the other hand
do use group A and group B.  I will definitely add the 'mpic-' prefix, but
unless I am looking in the wrong place in the manuals, then I am not so
sure there are MPIC message register groups.  As a side note,
the term "register block" pops up in a few places not related to
message registers.

If you feel like group is a more idiomatic term, I can change it.

I was looking at the P4080 manual, which does use it.  It looks like some
other chip manuals just use MSGR0-MSGR7.

Since the docs aren't consistent, I don't really have a strong opinion
here.  Just make clear in the binding what you're referring to.

I was looking at the P4080 manual, which does use it.  It looks like some
other chip manuals just use MSGR0-MSGR7.

Since the docs aren't consistent, I don't really have a strong opinion
here.  Just make clear in the binding what you're referring to.

[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: add support for MPIC message register API

[Meador Inge]

Some MPIC implementations contain one or more blocks of message registers
that are used to send messages between cores via IPIs.  A simple API has
been added to access (get/put, read, write, etc ...) these message registers.
The available message registers are initially discovered via nodes in the
device tree.  A separate commit contains a binding for the message register
nodes.

RE: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc: add support for MPIC message register API

[Kushwaha Prabhakar-B32579]

Hi,

I have no comments about coding and architecture. It looks fine.

Only have a query about its use case..
  "Any application intended to use message interrupt requires to know reg_num because of struct mpic_msgr* mpic_msgr_get(unsigned int reg_num) API"

It will be good to search available unit internally and provide its pointer. It will make application more flexible. 

Regards,
Prabhakar

The problem is that you fundamentally cannot implement an allocator for 
MSG registers if you're going to communicate with another kernel (how 
would both kernels' allocators be synchronized?). So the message 
register allocation must be decided at design time, not run time.

I agree with you..  It is true while communicating with another kernel.
But message interrupts can be used by different independent drivers within same kernel. For eg. PCIe and Ethernet driver. 
As per current design both drivers needs to be in sync before requesting any message unit for avoiding any conflict. As these drivers are completely independent. It is very difficult. 

Can it be possible to provide new API to take care it.

Do you have a real use case in mind where these message registers (not
MSIs) are used internally in this manner?

Perhaps an allocator could be added in the same patchset that adds such a
user.

Yes, we use for PCIe host/agent test case scenario.
Host usage message register to interrupt Agent...
Agent uses message register to generate irq_out (automatically generate MSI) to interrupt master. Please see RM for more details about irq_out
 

Note: PCIe host/agent test scenario is used internally and we are working on pushing it out..

Yaa. It can be done. Otherwise module has to query each message unit for its availability.

I believe this has been true for several years.

No, instead the system designer should pick one. If it doesn't matter 
which one, then the designer is free to pick any.

An allocator can't work if you're going to mix drivers. For example, 
driver A needs MSRG0, and driver B doesn't care. Driver B loads first, 
the allocator selects MSGR0; driver A loads and fails. Having an 
allocator at all will create this conflict.

To prevent this scenario, either don't use a MSGR (can you configure 
anything else for irq_out?), or have the system designer choose all MSGRs.

We should avoid resorting to the notion of a "system designer" if possible
-- it's hard to avoid it when dealing with partitioning, but it shouldn't
be needed for unpartitioned basic driver operation.

In the absence of partitioning, no driver should need a specific one.  With
partitioning, let the system designer mark those resources as reserved so
they don't get allocated. :-)

That seem reasonable.  Back to the device tree then.  One option is to bring
back the sister-send property 'mpic-msgr-send-mask', which was discussed some
months back.  For example, consider:

	/* OS 1 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0xa>;
	};

	mpic_msgr_block1: mpic-msgr-block@42400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x42400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb4 2 0xb6 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
	};

	/* OS 2 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0xa>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0x5>;
	};

	mpic_msgr_block1: mpic-msgr-block@42400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x42400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb4 2 0xb6 2>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0x5>;
	};

In block0 for both OSes, all registers are partitioned and are thus not
available for allocation.  In block1 for both OSes, registers 0 and 2 are
reserved and registers 1 and 3 are available for general allocation.

So any register mentioned in one of 'mpic-msgr-receive-mask' or
'mpic-msgr-send-mask' is out of the running for general allocation.
If neither of the properties appear, then all registers are available
for general allocation.

You could get into trouble with this method with cases like:

	/* OS 1 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0xa>;
	};

	/* OS 2 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
	};

Now OS 1 has registers 0 and 2 available for general allocation, which
OS 2 is receiving on.  However, we already have that problem if someone
botches the masks.  So I am not very worried about that.

Clearly this is just one method, but I think tagging what is available from the
device tree is a must.


Thoughts?

How can both OSes independently own registers 1 and 3 for alloction?  And
where are the interrupt specifiers for these registers?

> So any register mentioned in one of 'mpic-msgr-receive-mask' or
> 'mpic-msgr-send-mask' is out of the running for general allocation.

mpic-msgr-receive-mask has to match interrupts -- it's not intended to be
an indication of usage, just that this partition is granted those
interrupts.

Plus, a dynamically allocated message register must be owned for both
sending and receiving, so it doesn't make sense to separate it.  I'd have
an "mpic-msgr-free-mask" property, which must be a subset of
"mpic-msgr-receive-mask".  If the register is not in free-mask, it is
reserved for a fixed purpose.  If free-mask is absent, all registers in the
receive-mask can be allocated.

So the above example would be:

	/* OS 1 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
		mpic-msgr-free-mask = <0>;
	};

	mpic_msgr_block1: mpic-msgr-block@42400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x42400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb4 2 0xb5 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x3>;
		mpic-msgr-free-mask = <0x2>;
	};

	/* OS 2 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb1 2 0xb3 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0xa>;
		mpic-msgr-free-mask = <0>;
	};

	mpic_msgr_block1: mpic-msgr-block@42400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x42400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb6 2 0xb7 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0xc>;
		mpic-msgr-free-mask = <0x8>;
	};

mpic-msgr-send-mask could be added as well, as a permissions mechanism to
serve as extra protection against an improperly specified non-free message
register -- especially if the interface is exposed to a less-trusted realm
such as userspace, or if a hypervisor is reading the device tree to
determine what to allow guests to do.  In this case, just like
mpic-msgr-receive-mask, it would list both free and non-free message
registers that the partition can send to, and mpic-msgr-free-mask would be
a subset of both the send and receive masks.

There's a big difference between "botching the masks" and having no way to
express the situation properly.

BTW, the above fragment has the two OSes inappropriately sharing
interrupts, and OS1 has only two interrupts but no receive mask
(and therefore owns all 4 message registers for receive).  Only one OS
should be able to receive any given interrupt.

Consider this:

	/* OS 1 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb1 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x3>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0xc>;
	};

	/* OS 2 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb2 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x4>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0x1>;
	};

	/* OS 3 */
	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
		interrupts = <0xb3 2>;
		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x8>;
		mpic-msgr-send-mask = <0x2>;
	};

None of the message registers are actually free for allocation, but with
your scheme OS 2 would think it could allocate 1 and 3, and OS 3 would
think it could allocate 0 and 2.  Even if a register were actually free
from a reserved use, it would have to be owned by one partition.

They can't.  I just choose a horrible example.  It does point to a serious
flaw (which you allude to later) in inferring free registers from send/receive:
in some cases one will have to arbitrarily add registers to send/receive masks
just to keep registers out of the free allocation pool.  Your free-mask
proposal is better.

free-mask seems reasonable.  Although, all of these masks are starting to get
rather complicated :-)

Anyway, I am going to cut a v2 patch without the dynamic allocation.  All
of this is getting complicated without a public use case.  I agree with your
previous suggestion that the dynamic allocation can be added as a part of the
patch set that actually uses it.

Thanks Scott.

+      <prop-encoded-array>.
+
+    - interrupts: Specifies a list of interrupt source and level-sense pairs.
+      The type shall be <prop-encoded-array>.  The length shall be equal to
+      the number of registers that are available for receiving interrupts.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+    - mpic-msgr-receive-mask: Specifies what registers in the containing block
+      are allowed to receive interrupts.  The value is a bit mask where a set
+      bit at bit 'n' indicates that message register 'n' can receive interrupts.
+      The type shall be <prop-encoded-array>.  If not present, then all of
+      the message registers in the block are available.
+
+Aliases:
+
+    An alias should be created for every message register block.  They are not
+    required, though.  However, a particular implementation of this binding
+    may require aliases to be present.  Aliases are of the form
+    'mpic-msgr-block<n>', where <n> is an integer specifying the block's number.
+    Numbers shall start at 0.
+
+Example:
+
+	aliases {
+		mpic-msgr-block0 = &mpic_msgr_block0;
+		mpic-msgr-block1 = &mpic_msgr_block1;
+	};
+
+	mpic_msgr_block0: mpic-msgr-block@41400 {
+		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
+		reg = <0x41400 0x200>;
+		// Message registers 0 and 2 in this block can receive interrupts on
+		// sources 0xb0 and 0xb2, respectively.
+		interrupts = <0xb0 2 0xb2 2>;
+		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
+	};
+
+	mpic_msgr_block1: mpic-msgr-block@42400 {
+		compatible = "fsl,mpic-v3.1-msgr";
+		reg = <0x42400 0x200>;
+		// Message registers 0 and 2 in this block can receive interrupts on
+		// sources 0xb4 and 0xb6, respectively.
+		interrupts = <0xb4 2 0xb6 2>;
+		mpic-msgr-receive-mask = <0x5>;
+	};
