v2 changes:
 - convert to pm_runtime_force_(suspend|resume)
 - add pm_runtime_set_active in probe()
 - also (un)prepare clocks when they are dis-/enabled
 - add some missing calls to pm_runtime_get()
 - use pm_runtime_put() instead of sync variant
 - remove gpio chip in driver remove()
 - remove redundant type casts
 - directly use IO helpers
 - use BIT macro to set/clear bits
 - migrate to GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP

* [PATCH v2 1/2] gpio: Add driver for Zynq GPIO controller
@ 2014-06-18 11:39 ` Harini Katakam
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 46+ messages in thread
From: Harini Katakam @ 2014-06-18 11:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

From: Harini Katakam <harini.katakam@xilinx.com>

Add support for GPIO controller used by Xilinx Zynq.

Signed-off-by: Harini Katakam <harinik@xilinx.com>
Signed-off-by: Soren Brinkmann <soren.brinkmann@xilinx.com>
---

v2 changes:
 - convert to pm_runtime_force_(suspend|resume)
 - add pm_runtime_set_active in probe()
 - also (un)prepare clocks when they are dis-/enabled
 - add some missing calls to pm_runtime_get()
 - use pm_runtime_put() instead of sync variant
 - remove gpio chip in driver remove()
 - remove redundant type casts
 - directly use IO helpers
 - use BIT macro to set/clear bits
 - migrate to GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP

Hi Linus,

I did some of the changes for this v2 and a few things are not clear to
me.

The first is, how is userspace supposed to find the correct offset for a
GPIO pin. E.g. let's say GPIO 10 of this SOC-internal GPIO controller is
something I want to control. So, I'd export GPIO (chip-base + 10). But
this chip-base seems pretty variable. v1 of this patch had it hardcoded
to 0, which resulted in a predictable offset, but apparently was utterly
wrong. Now I see an offset of 138 for this chip when using my config.
And when I use multi_v7_defconfig the offset is somewhere in the 800s,
IIRC. The best I found was the 'label' in the gpiochip's sysfs entry,
but documentation says that is not necessarily unique, and parsing labes
seems sub-optimal too.

The second issue is a stack trace (below) I see when triggering
interrupts (e.g. echo rising > edge; and then pushing the connected
button). Looking at the stack trace, I don't see an obvious error (I
think I pretty much copied the IRQ registration from the gpio-pl061.c
driver you mentioned). Is this an issue in this driver or the core code?
This happens on Linus' latest tip. Despite all this chatter the system
still works and doesn't not seem to lock up.

Here the stack trace:

Hi Linus,

I did some of the changes for this v2 and a few things are not clear to
me.

The first is, how is userspace supposed to find the correct offset for a
GPIO pin. E.g. let's say GPIO 10 of this SOC-internal GPIO controller is
something I want to control. So, I'd export GPIO (chip-base + 10). But
this chip-base seems pretty variable. v1 of this patch had it hardcoded
to 0, which resulted in a predictable offset, but apparently was utterly
wrong. Now I see an offset of 138 for this chip when using my config.
And when I use multi_v7_defconfig the offset is somewhere in the 800s,
IIRC. The best I found was the 'label' in the gpiochip's sysfs entry,
but documentation says that is not necessarily unique, and parsing labes
seems sub-optimal too.

The second issue is a stack trace (below) I see when triggering
interrupts (e.g. echo rising > edge; and then pushing the connected
button). Looking at the stack trace, I don't see an obvious error (I
think I pretty much copied the IRQ registration from the gpio-pl061.c
driver you mentioned). Is this an issue in this driver or the core code?
This happens on Linus' latest tip. Despite all this chatter the system
still works and doesn't not seem to lock up.

Here the stack trace:

This is a great improvement! Only small stuff remains.

This should be:

Why is irq kept around in this struct? It looks like it could just
be a local variable in probe()?

Apart from that this nitpicking the driver looks very nice.

The sysfs interface to GPIO is *NOT* *GOOD* this is universally
agreed upon.

This needs someone to step in and provide a replacement, my preferred
mechanism would be a /dev/gpiochip0/... hierarchy using char devices.

You see. It is badly designed and needs to be rewritten.

It was merged into the kernel at a time when the GPIO subsystem
was unmaintained, sadly.

Probably.

Using GPIOs for IRQs in userspace is an even worse idea than using
GPIOs from userspace in general :-D

But before you add any hairy code in userspace, please have a look
at Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt:

"Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons"
 GPIO tasks:  "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively. Use those
 instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel
 frameworks better than your userspace code could."

So: what is the usecase for these GPIOs?

I really like the ability to control GPIOs from shell, both interactively and 
scripted. I find it useful for quick hardware level debugging, and for boot 
time scripting (mainly in initramfs). Do you intend to preserve this 
capability in the future? Will I need a special utility (or Busybox applet) to 
do this with char device ioctl?

Yea, in this case it was a button. I have to look at these drivers. It's
very likely that they cover what I want. But this case is trivial. I
really don't do anything but enabling the IRQ by writing to the edge
attribute and press the push-button connected to that GPIO line.

But as a general note: I think we have quite some customers trying to do
GPIO in userspace. With Zynq's FPGA portion, a lot of things come down
to make signals accessible in Linux and a lot of people do not want or
need a full blown kernel driver and use GPIO. The request for 'how to
handle GPIO IRQs in userspace' is pretty common. Often this gets passed
on to UIO though.

Thanks for the answers.

It's also not mentioning the second cell at all. I'll take the part from
gpio-msm to document this property and replace 'pin' with 'GPIO line'.

I would be happy to carry it in the unstable-ABI debugfs for sure.

What is the usecase here?

It is ABI so we have to preserve it. But sometimes people come with
new zuper-complex userspace usecases and want to add this or
that crazy ABI to do stuff in userspace that the kernel can do better.
And all that I intend to just NACK.

I would be happy to carry it in the unstable-ABI debugfs for sure.

What is the usecase here?

It is ABI so we have to preserve it. But sometimes people come with
new zuper-complex userspace usecases and want to add this or
that crazy ABI to do stuff in userspace that the kernel can do better.
And all that I intend to just NACK.

In case of a system using device tree it is very trivial to add a gpio
key binding. After compiling in the gpio keys driver this small
snipper type is all that is really needed in most cases:

        /* User key mapped in as "escape" */
        gpio-keys {
                compatible = "gpio-keys";
                user-button {
                        label = "user_button";
                        gpios = <&gpio0 3 0x1>;
                        linux,code = <1>; /* KEY_ESC */
                        gpio-key,wakeup;
                };
        };

For what? I mean the use cases. Usually it is a bad idea, and
as shown above, just using the right existing device driver with
device tree is much easier, also for an end user, given they know
how to alter DTs and compile in kernel modules.

The short answer is don't handle GPIO IRQs in userspace.

Userspace drivers is generally a bad idea and should not be written.
The kernel is intended to handle hardware.

The above is doubly true for anything involving IRQs. Just think
of what IRQs are. They are one of the reasons why we have a
kernel and not just write all software on a system from scratch
ourselves.

Thanks for the example. I think for my cases these drivers are exactly

I fully agree and you don't have to convince me. But to a lot of our
customers that are used to use FPGAs, SOCs and Linux are pretty new. You
see a lot of scary stuff. Accessing /dev/mem seems to be a lot of
people's big hammer solution for everything. Then I always perceive it
as great progress if things like the sysfs interface are used instead.

Well as upstream maintainer I really don't differentiate on the level
of badness of different bad solutions, none of them are really helpful
to the community, only to some specific user, so they get to carry the
quirks...

During boot I need to know, for example, when an FPGA is ready to be 
programmed, and when said FPGA has finished its initialization. I also read 
the sate of on-board DIP switches to determine the desired boot method. I find 
the current sysfs interface quite convenient for these and similar tasks.

So given that an FPGA is a piece of hardware, it should have its firmware
loaded from the kernel and a kernel driver communicating with it I guess?

I feel the smell of a huge bundle of userspace drivers for something that
should be handled by the kernel.

The FPGA can be loaded using simple SPI bit-banging, for which I used the 
userspace SPI interface. Nothing fancy, just a few hundred LoC. Kernel driver 
along with a userspace interface to be maintained forever for this task seems 
an overkill to me.

OK I'd say yes maybe it's like a modem on the other side of a serial
line then, and then it makes sense to have that as a userspace thing.

It's just that when it comes to anything relating to the electrical
connections on the board, that stuff should be in some device tree
or similar HW description format, and then this needs to be parsed
by userspace too, and ... yuck. It's just so incoherent in a
helicopter view.
