[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: wait for CMCNT on init

[Biju Das]

As per section 57A.3.5/69A.3.5/79.A.3.5 of rz/g/r-car gen2/3 hardware
manual,it is mentioned that we need to provide 2 cycles in counter input
clock (RCLK) for reflecting written data to counter behaviour. Adding
sufficient wait to let the CMCNT register value settle before starting the
timer channel.

It fixes the error "sh_cmt ffca0000.timer: ch1: cannot clear CMCNT"

Hello,

During cmt testing, the tool (tools/testing/selftests/timers/clocksource-switch.c)
is complaining about the error "sh_cmt ffca0000.timer: ch1: cannot clear CMCNT".
The above patch fixes this issue is by adding sufficient wait to let the
CMCNT register value settle before starting the timer channel.

This issue is reproduced on Koelsch/RZ/G1[ME] based iwave boards etc...,
as I assume the same issue should be present on lager etc. as well?

regards,
Biju

This issue is related to settling of CMCNT register during init.

During my testing, I found that the first loop exit immediately
before actually settling this register value to "0". ie,
the instantaneous value of register becomes "0" in the first check and
it breaks the first loop and in the next check report the error.

The new logic is to double check this register value and
make sure that this register value is settled to "0",
before starting the timer channel.

Biju

That also works. It needs delay more than 100.
The worst case wait is around 130-150 microseconds.

Previously, I have put a print statement just before break statement during debugging.

RCLK usually runs at ca. 32 kHz, so 32µs should be sufficient on R-Car
Gen2/3 and RZ/G1.
R-Mobile A1 is the exception: RCLK runs at 23 kHz, so you need 43µs to
be safe.

100 * 1µs = 100µs, so the original code should be sufficient?
Or should it wait 42µs unconditionally, i.e. without checking CMCNT?

The datasheet mentions some other registers 2 RCLK cycles, too.
Should there be a fixed 2 RCLK delay in sh_cmt_write_cmcsr() and
sh_cmt_write_cmcor(), which are both called just before sh_cmt_write_cmcnt()
above (all out of diff context)?

This is now two loops, with two checks for CMCNT, which looks strange to me.
Do you have figures for the number of loops needed, for both the first (j=0)
and the 2nd (j=1) cycle?

From the test results,  the original code is not sufficient. It needs 137 µs on koelsch platform to settle this value.

> Or should it wait 42µs unconditionally, i.e. without checking CMCNT?

Yes, Adding  wait 42µs unconditionally, just before the for loop also fixes the issue, since worst case wait is 137 µs.
What is your suggestion here?

I am not sure on this.

From the test results, first cycle  j=0, loop count(max)=100
Second cycle  j=2, loop count(max)= 37.

137µs ~= 3 x 42µs, and there are 3 register writes above.
Is that a coincidence? ;-)

Does it work if you insert udelay(42) after the register writes in
sh_cmt_write_cmcsr(), sh_cmt_write_cmcor(), and sh_cmt_write_cmcnt()?

Thanks!

I think so.

yes,  I confirm it worked by putting  udelay(42) after the register writes in
sh_cmt_write_cmcsr(), sh_cmt_write_cmcor(), and sh_cmt_write_cmcnt().

Here  is the result after  inserting udelay (42) .

Koelsch board:-  with a max wait of (100+42) µs ( with more than 1000 iterations)
RZ/G1M board:- with a max value of (100+42) µs ( with more than 1000 iterations)
RZ/G1E board:-  with a max value of (86+42) µs (with more than 1000 iterations)

Looks like udelay(50)  is the safest, even though it worked with udelay(42). What do you think?

RE: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers/sh_cmt: wait for CMCNT on init

[Biju Das]

Hi Geert,

What should we do next for fixing this error?  Adding unconditional delays also fixes the issue.
But I do not have the setup to verify this on gen1/gen2/gen3 variants.

I have enabled CMT0/1/2/3 on R-Car M3-W Salvator-XS board and this issue is not seen with original code.

Only on R-Car Gen2/ RZ/G1, we are seeing this issue.

Note:-

For R-Car M3-W board, inconsistency-check and nanosleep tests are working fine.

However  there is a failure with clocksource_switch  "asynchronous"  test.
The inconsistency-check is failing  for "arch_sys_counter" after some clocksource_switch operations

So I skipped the "clocksource_switching"  for  arch_sys_counter  and the asynchronous test is passing for
CMT0/1/2/3 timers.

Biju

I'd add 50 µs delays after the three register writes.

As you can test on Koelsch, M3-W Salvator-XS, and RZ/G1, that should
cover most variants we care about.

CMT does not seem to be enabled on R-Car M1A and H1.
I'l do boot tests on older SH/R-Mobile SoCs as part of my general testing.

Sorry, being no timer expert, I don't understand the impact of the

Hi Geert,

Thanks for the feedback.

It make sense to me as well, since the hardware manual is mentioning about inserting delays
for the reliable counter operation.

I will send a patch  V2, after testing on all these variants.

We may start a discussion on this, when we start upstreaming CMT for R-Car M3-W devices.

Basically clocksource_switch  test in "selftests "uses 2 threads,
In 1 thread it executes inconsistency-check test followed by nano sleep test
and on the  second thread it keep changing clock source one after the another.

This test always fails  on R-Car M3-W which is based on arm64.

Sergei already enabled CMT on R-Car V3M and V3H, perhaps he has seen
similar issues?
