[PATCH v2 0/6] clocksource: Fix MIPS GIC and DW APB Timer for Baikal-T1 SoC support

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <fancer.lancer@gmail.com>

As for all Baikal-T1 SoC related patchsets, which need this, we replaced
the DW APB Timer legacy plain text-based dt-binding file with DT schema.
Similarly the MIPS GIC bindings file is also converted to DT schema seeing
it also defines the MIPS GIC Timer binding.

Aside from MIPS-specific r4k timer Baikal-T1 chip also provides a
functionality of two another timers: embedded into the MIPS GIC timer and
three external DW timers available over APB bus. But we can't use them
before the corresponding drivers are properly fixed. First of all DW APB
Timer shouldn't be bound to a single CPU, since as being accessible over
APB they are external with respect to all possible CPUs. Secondly there
might be more than just two DW APB Timers in the system (Baikal-T1 has
three of them), so permit the driver to use one of them as a clocksource
and the rest - for clockevents. Thirdly it's possible to use MIPS GIC
timer as a clocksource so register it in the corresponding subsystem
(the patch has been found in the Paul Burton MIPS repo so I left the
original Signed-off-by attribute). Finally in the same way as r4k timer
the MIPS GIC timer should be used with care when CPUFREQ config is enabled
since in case of CM2 the timer counting depends on the CPU reference clock
frequency while the clocksource subsystem currently doesn't support the
timers with non-stable clock.

This patchset is rebased and tested on the mainline Linux kernel 5.6-rc4:
commit 98d54f81e36b ("Linux 5.6-rc4").

Changelog v2:
- Fix the SoB tags.
- Our corporate email server doesn't change Message-Id anymore, so the
  patchset is resubmitted being in the cover-letter-threaded format.
- Convert the "snps,dw-apb-timer" binding to DT schema in a dedicated
  patch.
- Convert the "mti,gic" binding to DT schema in a dedicated patch.

[PATCH v2 1/6] dt-bindings: rtc: Convert snps,dw-apb-timer to DT schema

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>

Modern device tree bindings are supposed to be created as YAML-files
in accordance with DT schema. This commit replaces Synopsys DW Timer
legacy bare text binding with YAML file. As before the binding file
states that the corresponding dts node is supposed to be compatible
with generic DW APB Timer indicated by the "snps,dw-apb-timer"
compatible string and to provide a mandatory registers memory range,
one timer interrupt, either reference clock source or a fixed clock
rate value. It may also have an optional APB bus reference clock
phandle specified.

I have doubts that this binding file belongs to the bindings/rtc
directory seeing it's a pure timer with no rtc facilities like
days/months/years counting and alarms. What about moving it to the
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/" directory?

I also don't know who is the corresponding driver maintainer, so I added
Daniel Lezcano to the maintainers schema. Any idea what email should be
specified there instead?

Please also note, that "oneOf: - required: ..." pattern isn't working
here. So if you omit any of the clock-related property the
dt_binding_check procedure won't fail. Seeing the anyOf schema is working
I suppose this happens due to the dtschema/lib.py script, which replaces
the global oneOf with a fixup for the interrupts/interrupts-extended
properties:

> def fixup_interrupts(schema):
>    # Supporting 'interrupts' implies 'interrupts-extended' is also supported.
>    if not 'interrupts' in schema['properties'].keys():
>        return
>
>    # Any node with 'interrupts' can have 'interrupt-parent'
>    schema['properties']['interrupt-parent'] = True
>
>    schema['properties']['interrupts-extended'] = { "$ref": "#/properties/interrupts" };
>
>    if not ('required' in schema.keys() and 'interrupts' in schema['required']):
>        return
>
!>    # Currently no better way to express either 'interrupts' or 'interrupts-extended'
!>    # is required. If this fails validation, the error reporting is the whole
!>    # schema file fails validation
!>    schema['oneOf'] = [ {'required': ['interrupts']}, {'required': ['interrupts-extended']} ]

[PATCH v2 2/6] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Convert mti,gic to DT schema

[Sergey.Semin]

From: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>

Modern device tree bindings are supposed to be created as YAML-files
in accordance with DT schema. This commit replaces MIPS GIC legacy bare
text binding with YAML file. As before the binding file states that the
corresponding dts node is supposed to be compatible with MIPS Global
Interrupt Controller indicated by the "mti,gic" compatible string and
to provide a mandatory interrupt-controller and '#interrupt-cells'
properties. There might be optional registers memory range,
"mti,reserved-cpu-vectors" and "mti,reserved-ipi-vectors" properties
specified.

MIPS GIC also includes a free-running global timer, per-CPU count/compare
timers, and a watchdog. Since currently the GIC Timer is only supported the
DT schema expects an IRQ and clock-phandler charged timer sub-node with
"mti,mips-gic-timer" compatible string.

I don't really know who is the corresponding driver maintainer, so I
added to the maintainers schema Paul since he used to be looking for the
MIPS arch and Thomas looking after it now. Any idea what email should be
specified there instead?

Similarly to the previous patch the "oneOf: - required: ..." pattern isn't
working here. Supposedly due to the script' dtschema/lib.py
interrupts/interrupts-extended fixup.

Agreed. I am pretty sure Rob find something to be fixed and the main part
of the patchset still hasn't been reviewed. So v3 will be necessary for sure.
I'll move this binding out of rtc in a dedicated patch then.

P.S. For some reason your email still hasn't been delivered to my corporate
email, so responding from the private one.

I'll fix this. I'll have to check for 'oneOf' and if it exists then put 
it under an 'allOf'.

If you have an unit-address, then there should be a 'reg' property.

Seems like this can be just 'timer'?

My manager said we can submitted the DT schema bindings under both GPL and
BSD licenses. Though I don't know what license was of the legacy binding file.

BTW Rob, you ask about the license very often whether I set pure GPL-2.0
or dual-license header. Just wondering is it some kind of protocol to make
sure a submitter has got proper rights to submit the binding?

Ok. reg property isn't supported by the timer sub-node. So I'll make it to
be just "timer" node with no unit-address number.

Anything in the kernel without an explicit license is GPL-2.0-only.

New bindings should be dual GPL/BSD. Converted bindings should be
relicensed if the authors of the original agree or you should maintain
GPL-2.0-only.

Ah. ok. I didn't know that the legacy bindings have GPL-2.0 license by
default. Thanks. I'll keep it in mind in patchsets with bindings conversion.

[PATCH v3 0/7] clocksource: Fix MIPS GIC and DW APB Timer for Baikal-T1 SoC support

[Serge Semin]

From: Serge Semin <fancer.lancer@gmail.com>

As for all Baikal-T1 SoC related patchsets, which need this, we replaced
the DW APB Timer legacy plain text-based dt-binding file with DT schema.
Similarly the MIPS GIC bindings file is also converted to DT schema seeing
it also defines the MIPS GIC Timer binding.

Aside from MIPS-specific r4k timer Baikal-T1 chip also provides a
functionality of two another timers: embedded into the MIPS GIC timer and
three external DW timers available over APB bus. But we can't use them
before the corresponding drivers are properly fixed. First of all DW APB
Timer shouldn't be bound to a single CPU, since as being accessible over
APB they are external with respect to all possible CPUs. Secondly there
might be more than just two DW APB Timers in the system (Baikal-T1 has
three of them), so permit the driver to use one of them as a clocksource
and the rest - for clockevents. Thirdly it's possible to use MIPS GIC
timer as a clocksource so register it in the corresponding subsystem
(the patch has been found in the Paul Burton MIPS repo so I left the
original Signed-off-by attribute). Finally in the same way as r4k timer
the MIPS GIC timer should be used with care when CPUFREQ config is enabled
since in case of CM2 the timer counting depends on the CPU reference clock
frequency while the clocksource subsystem currently doesn't support the
timers with non-stable clock.

This patchset is rebased and tested on the mainline Linux kernel 5.7-rc4:
0e698dfa2822 ("Linux 5.7-rc4")
tag: v5.7-rc4

Changelog v2:
- Fix the SoB tags.
- Our corporate email server doesn't change Message-Id anymore, so the
  patchset is resubmitted being in the cover-letter-threaded format.
- Convert the "snps,dw-apb-timer" binding to DT schema in a dedicated
  patch.
- Convert the "mti,gic" binding to DT schema in a dedicated patch.

Changelog v3:
- Make the MIPS GIC timer sub-node name not having a unit-address number.
- Discard allOf: [ $ref: /schemas/interrupt-controller.yaml# ] from MIPS
  GIC bindings.
- Add patch moving the "snps,dw-apb-timer" binding file to the directory
  with timers binding files.

[PATCH v3 1/7] dt-bindings: rtc: Convert snps,dw-apb-timer to DT schema

[Serge Semin]

Modern device tree bindings are supposed to be created as YAML-files
in accordance with DT schema. This commit replaces Synopsys DW Timer
legacy bare text binding with YAML file. As before the binding file
states that the corresponding dts node is supposed to be compatible
with generic DW APB Timer indicated by the "snps,dw-apb-timer"
compatible string and to provide a mandatory registers memory range,
one timer interrupt, either reference clock source or a fixed clock
rate value. It may also have an optional APB bus reference clock
phandle specified.

This binding file doesn't belong to the bindings/rtc seeing it's a pure
timer with no rtc facilities like days/months/years counting and alarms.
The binding file will be moved to the
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/" directory in the next patch.

I also don't know who is the corresponding driver maintainer, so I added
Daniel Lezcano to the maintainers schema. Any idea what email should be
specified there instead?

Changelog v3:
- Since it's a conversion patch use GPL-2.0-only SPDX header.
- Replace "additionalProperties: false" property with
  "unevaluatedProperties: false".

[PATCH v3 3/7] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Convert mti,gic to DT schema

[Serge Semin]

Modern device tree bindings are supposed to be created as YAML-files
in accordance with DT schema. This commit replaces MIPS GIC legacy bare
text binding with YAML file. As before the binding file states that the
corresponding dts node is supposed to be compatible with MIPS Global
Interrupt Controller indicated by the "mti,gic" compatible string and
to provide a mandatory interrupt-controller and '#interrupt-cells'
properties. There might be optional registers memory range,
"mti,reserved-cpu-vectors" and "mti,reserved-ipi-vectors" properties
specified.

MIPS GIC also includes a free-running global timer, per-CPU count/compare
timers, and a watchdog. Since currently the GIC Timer is only supported the
DT schema expects an IRQ and clock-phandler charged timer sub-node with
"mti,mips-gic-timer" compatible string.

[PATCH v3 4/7] clocksource: dw_apb_timer: Set clockevent any-possible-CPU mask

[Serge Semin]

Currently the DW APB Timer driver binds all clockevent timers to
CPU #0. This isn't good for multiple reasons. First of all seeing
the device is placed on APB bus (which makes it accessible from any
CPU core), accessible over MMIO and having the DYNIRQ flag set we
can be sure that manually binding the timer to any CPU just isn't
correct. By doing so we just set an extra limitation on device usage.
This also doesn't reflect the device actual capability, since by
setting the IRQ affinity we can make it virtually local to any CPU.
Secondly imagine if you had a real CPU-local timer with the same
rating and the same CPU-affinity. In this case if DW APB timer was
registered first, then due to the clockevent framework tick-timer
selection procedure we'll end up with the real CPU-local timer being
left unselected for clock-events tracking. But on most of the platforms
(MIPS/ARM/etc) such timers are normally embedded into the CPU core and
are accessible with much better performance then devices placed on APB.
For instance in MIPS architectures there is r4k-timer, which is
CPU-local, assigned with the same rating, and normally its
clockevent device is registered after the platform-specific one.

So in order to fix all of these issues lets set the DW APB clockevent
timer cpumask to be 'cpu_possible_mask'. By doing so the clockevent
framework would prefer to select the real CPU-local timer instead
of DW APB one. Otherwise if there is no other than DW APB device for
clockevents tracking then it will be selected.

[PATCH v3 5/7] clocksource: dw_apb_timer_of: Fix missing clockevent timers

[Serge Semin]

Commit 100214889973 ("clocksource: dw_apb_timer_of: use
clocksource_of_init") replaced a publicly available driver
initialization method with one called by the timer_probe() method
available after CLKSRC_OF. In current implementation it traverses
all the timers available in the system and calls their initialization
methods if corresponding devices were either in dtb or in acpi. But
if before the commit any number of available timers would be installed
as clockevent and clocksource devices, after that there would be at most
two. The rest are just ignored since default case branch doesn't do
anything. I don't see a reason of such behaviour, neither the commit
message explains it. Moreover this might be wrong if on some platforms
these timers might be used for different purpose, as virtually CPU-local
clockevent timers and as an independent broadcast timer. So in order
to keep the compatibility with the platforms where the order of the
timers detection has some meaning, lets add the secondly discovered
timer to be of clocksource/sched_clock type, while the very first and
the others would provide the clockevents service.

[PATCH v3 6/7] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Register as sched_clock

[Serge Semin]

From: Paul Burton <paulburton@kernel.org>

From: Paul Burton <paulburton@kernel.org>

The MIPS GIC timer is well suited for use as sched_clock, so register it
as such.

Whilst the existing gic_read_count() function matches the prototype
needed by sched_clock_register() already, we split it into 2 functions
in order to remove the need to evaluate the mips_cm_is64 condition
within each call since sched_clock should be as fast as possible.

[PATCH v3 7/7] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Set limitations on clocksource/sched-clocks usage

[Serge Semin]

Currently neither clocksource nor scheduler clock kernel framework
support the clocks with variable frequency. Needless to say how many
problems may cause the sudden base clocks frequency change. In a
simplest case the system time will either slow down or speed up.
Since on CM2.5 and earlier MIPS GIC timer is synchronously clocked
with CPU we must set some limitations on using it for these frameworks
if CPU frequency may change. First of all it's not safe to have the
MIPS GIC used for scheduler timings. So we shouldn't proceed with
the clocks registration in the sched-subsystem. Secondly we must
significantly decrease the MIPS GIC clocksource rating. This will let
the system to use it only as a last resort.

Note CM3.x-based systems may also experience the problems with MIPS GIC
if the CPU-frequency change is activated for the whole CPU cluster
instead of using the individual CPC core clocks divider.

May be there is no alternative but the code looks a bit hacksih. Isn't possible
to do something with the sched_mark_unstable?

Or just not use the timer at all ?

Not using the timer might be better, but not that good alternative either
especially in our case due to very slow external timer. Me and Thomas
Bogendoerfer discussed the similar commit I've provided to the csrc-r4k driver
available on MIPS:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/11/576

To cut it short, you are right. The solution with using clocksource_mark_unstable()
is better alternative spied up in x86 tsc implementation. I'll use a similar
approach here and submit the updated patch in v3.

Could you please proceed with the rest of the series review? I'd like to send
the next version with as many comments taken into account as possible. The
patchset has been submitted a while ago, but except Rob noone have had any
comments.(

For me other patches are ok.

I can apply patches 1, 2, 4, 5, 6

Will remain patches 3 et 7

That's be great! Thanks. Is patch 3 supposed to be merged in by Rob or by you?
I don't see one being in the Rob's repo. He might be waiting for you
acknowledgment or something.

I'll send the updated patch 3 shortly today.

Ah, it's about the MIPS GIC IRQchip bindings conversion. No questions tabout
patch 3then. I'll ask Thomas about that patch status.
