[PATCH v2 0/7] ARM: Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache support

[Florian Fainelli]

Hi all,

This patch series adds support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache.
I submitted that patch series a couple of years ago, and then slept on it so
here is another stab at it.

Note that we did not implement this cache as a version of an outer cache
for several reasons:

- we initially thought we needed to intercept flush_icache_all and
  flush_kern_cache_louis but upon further inspection we convinced ourselves
  this is no longer needed, still, flush_cache_all() needs special handling
  here and needs to be wrapped around

- the outer cache does not allow differentiating a DMA transfer direction
  this is a readahead cache, so it does not participate in writes, flushing
  it during reads *and* writes kills the performance completely

- finally, most operations that outer_cache cares about are on MVA, which
  is transparent to the readahead cache here

Changes in v2:

- clarify that the read-ahead caches does invalidates on writes (IOW) based
  on Russell's feedback

[PATCH v2 1/7] ARM: v7: allow setting different cache functions

[Florian Fainelli]

In preparation for adding support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 read-ahead
cache which requires a different set of cache functions, allow the
__v7_proc macro to override the cache_fns settings, and default to
v7_cache_fns unless specified otherwise.

[PATCH v2 2/7] ARM: Add Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache support

[Florian Fainelli]

This patch adds support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU readahead cache
controller. This cache controller sits between the L2 and the memory bus
and its purpose is to provide a friendler burst size towards the DDR
interface than the native cache line size.

The readahead cache is mostly transparent, except for
flush_kern_cache_all, which is precisely what we are overriding here.

The readahead cache only intercepts reads, and does invalidate on
writes (IOW), as such, some data can remain stale in any of its buffers, such
that we need to flush it, which is an operation that needs to happen in
a particular order:

- disable the readahead cache
- flush it
- call the appropriate cache-v7.S function
- re-enable

This patch tries to minimize the impact to the cache-v7.S file by only
providing a stub in case CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled (default for
ARCH_BRCMSTB since it is the current user).

[PATCH v2 2/7] ARM: Add Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache support

[Florian Fainelli]

This patch adds support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU readahead cache
controller. This cache controller sits between the L2 and the memory bus
and its purpose is to provide a friendler burst size towards the DDR
interface than the native cache line size.

The readahead cache is mostly transparent, except for
flush_kern_cache_all, which is precisely what we are overriding here.

The readahead cache only intercepts reads, and does invalidate on
writes (IOW), as such, some data can remain stale in any of its buffers, such
that we need to flush it, which is an operation that needs to happen in
a particular order:

- disable the readahead cache
- flush it
- call the appropriate cache-v7.S function
- re-enable

This patch tries to minimize the impact to the cache-v7.S file by only
providing a stub in case CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled (default for
ARCH_BRCMSTB since it is the current user).

[PATCH v2 3/7] ARM: Hook B15 readahead cache functions based on processor

[Florian Fainelli]

If we detect that we are running on a Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU, and
CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled, make sure that we pick-up the
b15_cache_fns function operations.

If CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled, but we are not running on a Broadcom
Brahma-B15 CPU, we will fallback to calling into the regular
v7_cache_fns with no cost. If CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is disabled, there is
no cost and we just use the regular v7_cache_fns.

[PATCH v2 4/7] ARM: B15: Add CPU hotplug awareness

[Florian Fainelli]

The Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache needs to be disabled,
respectively re-enable during a CPU hotplug. In case we were not to do,
CPU hotplug would occasionally fail with random crashes when a given CPU
exits the coherency domain while the RAC is still enabled, as it would
get stale data from the RAC.

In order to avoid adding any specific B15 readahead-cache awareness to
arch/arm/mach-bcm/hotplug-brcmstb.c we use a CPU hotplug state machine
which allows us to catch CPU hotplug events and disable/flush enable the
RAC accordingly.

[PATCH v2 5/7] ARM: B15: Add suspend/resume hooks

[Florian Fainelli]

The Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU readahead cache registers will be restored
to their Power-on-Reset values after a S3 suspend/resume cycles, so we
want to restore what we had enabled before.

Another thing we want to take care of is disabling the read-ahead cache
prior to suspending to avoid any sort of side effect with the spinlock
we need to grab to serialize register accesses.

[PATCH v2 6/7] ARM: B15: Register reboot notifier for KEXEC

[Florian Fainelli]

During kexec, we will go through kernel_kexec() -> syscore_suspend() if
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP is set, if not, down the road we end-up calling
kernel_restart_prepare() which invokes reboot notifiers with
SYS_RESTART.

We register a reboot notifier to make sure that the B15 read-ahead cache
is disabled, since it is another level of instruction and data cache,
and we want to avoid any potential side effects with booting a new
kernel with such a cache still turned on.
