Thunderbolt material for v4.20, comprising:

* A fix to skip disabled ports on tunnel establishment.  I am not aware
  that this has caused breakage in the real world so far, so no need to
  apply to v4.19 or backport to stable.

* Obtain PCI slot number from DROM and use it to correlate PCI devices
  with Thunderbolt ports.

* I am nominating myself as co-maintainer, see commit message for the
  reasons.

Regarding the driver's verbosity which Stephen Hemminger and Mika
Westerberg have taken exception to:

* Patch [2/5] logs the PCI slot number as well as data whose purpose is
  unknown at KERN_INFO severity.  I am not opposed to log the former at
  KERN_DEBUG severity, but the latter must stay at KERN_INFO to allow us
  to collect the data of various Thunderbolt devices in the wild and
  reverse-engineer its meaning.  If Intel divulges the data's meaning then
  it need no longer be dumped.  This would be ideal for everyone involved.

* Patch [4/5] logs a message at KERN_INFO severity whenever a PCI device
  correlates or no longer correlates with a Thunderbolt port.  I am not
  opposed to toning this down to KERN_DEBUG, subject to the introduction
  of tb_port_dbg().

Thanks,

Lukas

If a PCIe downstream adapter is marked disabled in the DROM, that port
is ineligible for tunnel establishment, so skip over it when searching
for an unused port.

The port numbers of PCIe adapters on a CIO switch and the slot numbers
of their corresponding PCI devices don't necessarily match up in
ascending order.

E.g. Light Ridge in host mode (MacBookPro9,1) mixes them up like this:
switch port  7 == pci slot 4 (PCIe downstream port)
switch port  8 == pci slot 5 (PCIe downstream port)
switch port  9 == pci slot 6 (PCIe downstream port)
switch port 10 == pci slot 3 (PCIe downstream port)

Light Ridge in endpoint mode (Sonnet Echo Express):
switch port  7 == pci slot 4 (PCIe downstream port)
switch port  8 == pci slot 5 (PCIe downstream port)
switch port  9               (PCIe downstream port, disabled in DROM)
switch port 10 == pci slot 0 (PCIe upstream port, pci slot 3 in DROM)

Obtain the slot number used by a switch port from the DROM and store it
in struct tb_port.  This will allow us to correlate PCI devices with
Thunderbolt ports.  For space efficiency, use a union in struct tb_port
to store attributes that are specific to certain port types.
Attributes specific to TB_TYPE_PORT could be moved into a separate
struct within the union.

The slot number occupies 3 bits in the third byte of PCI DROM entries.
The purpose of the remaining 5 bits is unknown (function number?).

Downstream port entries have 3 bytes, upstream port entries 11 bytes.
The slot number in upstream port entries is not that of the port itself
(which is always zero), but that of the PCI endpoint device built into
the Thunderbolt product.  In the case of the Sonnet Echo Express, the
upstream port specifies slot 3, which is used by a PLX switch.

The purpose of the additional 8 bytes present on upstream ports is
unknown (number of PCIe lanes, priority requirements, direct tunnel to
the host desired?).  Examples:

01 00 64 00 00 00 00 00      (Sonnet Echo Express, PLX switch)
01 40 0a 00 00 00 00 00      (Apple Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, BCM957762)

The code for ICM-controlled tunnel management stores a pointer to the
upstream port in struct icm.  We're going to need it in the code for
OS-controlled tunnel management as well, so move the pointer to
struct tb which is shared by both tunnel management methods.

Searching for the upstream port previously comprised walking upward from
the NHI until a PCIe upstream port is found.  That seems needlessly
complicated since on all known Thunderbolt controllers, the upstream
port is the NHI's grandparent, i.e. exactly two levels above.  Simplify
the search accordingly.

No functional change intended.

macOS correlates PCI devices with Thunderbolt ports and stores their
device paths in each other's I/O Registry entry:

  IOThunderboltPort@7 {
    "PCI Device" = 4
    "PCI Function" = 0
    "PCI Path" = "IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/PEG1@1,1/IOPP/UPSB@0/IOPP/DSB2@4"
    ...
  }

  DSB2@4 {
    "pcidebug" = "6:4:0(132:132)"
    "Thunderbolt Path" = "IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/PEG1@1,1/IOPP/UPSB@0/IOPP/DSB0@0/IOPP/NHI0@0/AppleThunderboltHAL/AppleThunderboltNHIType1/IOThunderboltController/IOThunderboltPort@6/IOThunderboltSwitchType1/IOThunderboltPort@7"
    ...
  }

Do the same by finding the Thunderbolt port corresponding to a PCI
device from a bus notifier and storing a pointer to the PCI device in
struct tb_port.  On initial switch scan, fill in the pointers for
already enumerated PCI devices.

This achieves a unidirectional mapping from tb_port to pci_dev.  If an
inverse mapping is needed, it may be possible to use the sysdata pointer
in struct pci_dev.

To find the Thunderbolt port, the PCI slot numbers specified in the root
switch's DROM need to be available.  On Macs with Thunderbolt 1 that's
not the case unless the kernel is booted by the EFI stub.

Moreover the driver needs to know which tunnels have been established,
which is not the case with ICM-controlled tunnel management, so the bus
notifier is only registered if tunnel management is under OS control.
Perhaps it is possible to retrieve a list of established tunnels from
the ICM firmware, or if all else fails, follow the hop entries in a
downstream port's config space to discover established tunnels.
Correlation would then also work for ICM-controlled tunnel management.

Ideas what we can do with correlation:

* Represent the relationship between PCI devices and Thunderbolt ports
  with symlinks in sysfs.

* Thunderbolt controllers up to revision 1 of Cactus Ridge 4C have to
  use INTx because MSI signaling is broken.  This results in hotplug
  ports sharing interrupts with other devices and, when daisy-chaining
  multiple affected Thunderbolt controllers, can lead to extremely
  unbalanced interrupt usage.  To avoid this we could prefer downstream
  ports for tunnel establishment which do not share interrupts (based
  on the nr_actions field of the correlated PCI device's irq_desc).

* Alternatively, we could use non-working MSI signaling on affected
  controllers and synthesize an interrupt whenever a tunnel is
  established or goes down on unplug.

The shared interrupts issue is grave.  This is /proc/interrupts on a
MacBookPro9,1 with a daisy-chain of two Light Ridge controllers and
one Port Ridge (all with broken MSI signaling):

Andreas Noever has let it be known off-list already a while ago that he
currently cannot spare as much time for Thunderbolt development as he'd
like.  As a result the driver's development has become dominated by
Intel.

I would like to step up as co-maintainer to provide additional checks
and balances and prevent the driver from degenerating into an Intel-only
show.  A number of things really irk me:

* I've been contributing to this driver as well as Thunderbolt-related
  bits to the EFI, GPU and PCI subsystems for close to three years and
  was explicitly asked by Intel to cc them on every Thunderbolt-related
  patch.  Yet Intel did not see fit to cc me on their changes that went
  into 4.17.  I literally only learned about their existence from
  reading the news.  In the 4.19 cycle I was only cc'ed on a subset of
  their patches.

* Intel's efforts have been focussed exclusively on firmware-controlled
  tunnel management (ICM).  They made no contributions to OS-controlled
  tunnel management.  ICM cannot be used on Macs with Thunderbolt 1 + 2.
  ICM requires trusting a firmware blob.  ICM does not offer the same
  versatility as OS-controlled tunnel management, e.g. using separate
  tunnels to afford different QoS levels or correlation of Thunderbolt
  ports with PCI devices.  Apple chose OS-controlled tunnel management
  for very valid technical reasons.

* Our OS-controlled tunnel management still lacks important features
  such as daisy-chaining and DP tunnels.  Each feature needs to be
  reverse-engineered because there is no public spec.  Intel issued a
  press statement in May 2017 promising to make the specification public
  "next year".  More than a year has passed -- no spec.  The company has
  since changed leadership, who knows if they haven't silently canned
  the plans for a public spec?  I offered to sign an NDA and go through
  a disclosure process for every patch -- no reaction.

* Reverse-engineering requires verbose logging so that we're able to
  collect data on various systems and endpoint devices to deduce the
  meaning of registers.  Yet Intel now seeks to mute log output, thereby
  curbing our reverse-engineering efforts.  This exemplifies a worrying
  tendency to ignore the needs of non-Intel stakeholders in the
  developer community or even undermine them.

* Recent Intel contributions are maintainer self-commits without any
  Reviewed-by tags, which is generally considered a bad practice.
  Review comments offered by Intel-outsiders are not taken seriously.
  For example the driver's initcall level has been fiddled with twice
  now.  A review comment pointing out the fragility of abusing initcall
  levels to implement dependencies and suggesting the use of a notifier
  chain instead was summarily dismissed as unnecessary unless it breaks
  a third time.

Hi Lukas,

I'm including Greg here in case I've done something wrong as a maintainer.
Since I've only maintained Thunderbolt quite short time, it may be that
I've done mistakes but certainly I did not deliberately try to make life of
people developing this for older Apple systems harder.

I was not aware of this. Althought Andreas has not commented much
lately, I thought he is still looking after our changes. I hope he still
is :)

I don't have anything against this but at the same time I'm afraid it
might lead to a situation where the Thunderbolt driver evolution gets
stopped into its tracks because of unnecessary fighting over each patch
and change which does not benefit Linux kernel in general.

The reason for making the driver less verbose comes from direct feedback
from the community. For example:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/31/864

The goal is certainly not to prevent reverse-engineering. It simply logs
too much with information that is not usable to the end user. For an OS
such as Linux where drivers tend to be high-quality professional work,
logging like this is simply not acceptable.

I also concluded that all the possible logs you are interested (this
includes Thunderbolt generation 1 and 2 devices) are pretty much already
available to you. Those devices do not appear in any modern designs,
including Apple platforms who use generation 3 devices and those are
already supported by the current driver making the logs irrelevant.

Andreas who did the hard work of reverse-engineering the initial driver and
who I still consider the authorative maintainer was fine at the time to
silence the driver.

[Adding more context for Greg first]

  I noticed that if the driver is built into the kernel image, it may
  start DMA before IOMMUs get initialized. This makes it to fail once
  IOMMUs are up and running. I originally moved the driver to load
  before the networking driver (they were using both module_initcall())
  but that turned out causing problems with IOMMUs so I moved the
  initcall level so that initialization happens after IOMMUs but before
  network, and hopefully in future other drivers. Because this is
  problem of ordering of module init code, we cannot use -EPROBE_DEFER
  or device_links. The patch in question is here:

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/5/248

I mentioned during the review that the proposal you are suggesting
(adding blocking notifiers) is simply too complex solution. Other
drivers more or less use initcall levels to make sure the bus core gets
initialized before any drivers using that bus can be loaded. With
notifiers you would need to implement a proper API that drivers can hook
into which becomes complex and adds many lines of additional code that
needs to be maintained. As the guy who maintains this, I prefer the
simpler solution.

Hi Lukas,

I wonder is that really useful? I don't think we should be adding sysfs
entries without any real reason why it would be needed and who would be
using them.

Problem I see with this patch as it stands is that you add 200+ lines of
code into the driver that is not being used by anything as far as I
understand it.

No need for __packed unless you absolutely are certain the compiler does
not do the right thing. When I submitted the network driver, David
Miller explained this to me and I ended up dropping those.

Also use of bitfields is something we should avoid when touching
hardware/firmware records because compiler here can do all sorts of
tricks.

I know the driver is currently using quite many of them but I think it
is good for the new code not to include them anymore.

I am not opposed to muting messages to KERN_DEBUG severity which merely
report what the driver is doing such as:

    "control channel created"
    "control channel starting..."

However messages should NOT be muted which report register contents
or register changes unless those registers are *fully* documented and
register changes are known to work *reliably*.  The URL you're referring
to above provides an example where that's not the case:

    "disabling interrupt at register 0x38200 bit 12 (0xffffffff -> 0xffffefff)"

Something is broken here, the register was read as "all ones".
This doesn't seem to work as reliable as it should and in that case
please don't mute the message until we know it's fixed and always
works.

Also, it is quite customary and serves a useful purpose to report
devices at KERN_INFO severity as they're enumerated.  E.g. the PCI
bus logs messages for each enumerated device, pciehp logs the
port's capabilities on probe, and so on.  Therefore please do not
mute the enumeration of switches and their ports.  If you find the
messages too noisy, feel free to condense the data reported for each
port to 1 or 2 lines.

We currently print "Port ..." on enumeration, but use the syntax
"<route string>:<port number>" for other port-related messages
printed with tb_port_*().  It might be beneficial to use a single
syntax consistently.

In one of the patches I've posted yesterday, I'm logging unknown
data that is stashed in the DROM for PCI ports.  To make sense of
that data, at least one line for each port needs to be logged.
(Such that we know which data pertains to which port.)

I don't really like spamming the log with this unknown data that
needs to be reverse-engineered.  I hate it.  You would do everyone
a favor if you could divulge the meaning of such unknown registers.
Then we don't need to log it in the first place.

Thanks,

Lukas

That is actually already on my todo list. What happens here is that on
PCs the controller is hot-removed and the driver is removed but it tries
to touch hardware after it is already gone. We have a flag for that
already so I'm hoping to use that and skip touching hardware if it is
set.

That I realized also myself after testing the patch bit more. We could
print some information that is useful upon device connect/disconnect.

But I don't think dumping the switch structure and ports are useful. I
would rather make it to follow USB and print the actual device that was
connected (this is the information read from DROM and which is exported
in sysfs as well).

So I'm experimenting patch that does something like this when device is
connected:

  thunderbolt 0-1: device 1:8003 connected
  thunderbolt 0-1: Apple, Inc Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter

and when it is disconnected

  thunderbolt 0-1: device disconnected

Since thunderbolt is now bus and all the devices include embedded struct
device we can use dev_*() just like everybody else is doing.

I think we have enough maintainers in this subsystem:

  Andreas - Apple hardware
  Michael and me - Intel
  Yehezkel - Microsoft

But I think we can make you a dedicated reviewer. This should make sure
you get to review all the patches touching this subsystem.

However, first I would like to get confirmation from Andreas that he
approves this.

I also would like that anyone submitting patches to this subsystem do
not get bad feelings during the review but instead possible issues and
improvement suggestions are written in such way that the submitter feels
his work is valued (even if not always correct).

This is especially important when a random Intel (well, or Apple)
engineer submits a patch, say fixing a typo in a comment of some data
structure. There is no point starting to demand that the specific
register meaning needs to be disclosed. I've said this before but I or
any other Intel engineer do not have any power over when the spec is
released or any other related matter (like disclosing registers) and I
really don't want that every single patch review starts with demanding
people to disclose something extra. After all they are just trying to
improve the driver which is good for Linux.

If Andreas approves this, please send a patch adding you as a reviewer
and I'll apply it. Just please write the changelog in good will without
any personal frustration as those will be recorded forever in the kernel
history and you never know in future who you are working for.

From my point of view, I welcome you on board as good reviewer :)

I think Lukas mentioned where it can be useful, even if it isn't used right now.
We also know this can be useful for some QoS configurations (even if we didn't
found it useful enough for now).


Lukas,
What I'd like to ask is: if your point is mainly for OS-controlled tunneling
management, I'd hope this future Connection Manager will have better ways to
determine the assigned PCI bus number of the PCI devices it tunnels than the
walk over the PCI tree the current patch does. Isn't it?

I have not seen anything to complain about here, so why would I?  :)

That would be good.  But always remember, no one, not even a maintainer,
is there as a "gatekeeper".  Everyone can be routed around, or
accidentally forgotten to be cc:ed or patches can come in from other
subsystems as needed.

So adding more reviewers is always great, but it's never a "requirement"
that all people have to review everything before things are merged.

Well said, this is a tough area when dealing with both undocumented
hardware combined with a spec that is not public.  Everyone's trying to
do their best so we should always assume that first.

I have no doubts that is not useful :) The issue is that currently it
does not do anything except adds this functionality to the driver but
nobody uses it. Like in the other parts of the kernel, let's merge this
at the same time when there is a legitimate user for the feature.

As mentioned by Lukas I'm currently quite preoccupied with other commitments
and have not done much more than skimming the incoming patches (especially
those touching the Intel part - as I trust you know what you are doing there :))
If there is concern over too many maintainers then please give my spot to Lukas.
Since I no longer use my MacBook regularly my ability to effectively
test stuff is
quite limited anyways.

Thanks,
Andreas
