[PATCH 0/3] Support the timer on RK3368 SoC

[PATCH 0/3] Support the timer on RK3368 SoC

[Caesar Wang]

Timer0~11 count up from zero to a programmed value and
generate an interrupt when the count reaches the programmed value.

TIMER0, TIMER1, TIMER2, Timer3, TIMER4 and TIMER5 are in the CPU
subsystem, using timer ch0 ~ ch5 respectively. The timer clock is 24MHz
OSC.

This series are found on RK3368 SoC, verified on rk3368 evb board.

[PATCH 1/3] clocksource: rockchip: Make the driver more readability and compatible

[Caesar Wang]

Build the arm64 SoCs (e.g.: RK3368) on Rockchip platform,
There are some failure with build up on timer driver for rockchip.

logs:
...
drivers/clocksource/rockchip_timer.c:156:13: error: 'NO_IRQ' undeclared
/tmp/ccdAnNy5.s:47: Error: missing immediate expression at  operand 1 --
`dsb`
...

The problem was different semantics of dsb on btw arm32 and arm64,
Here we can convert the dsb with insteading of dsb(sy).

Meanwhile, I change a bit to make the code more readability for driver
when I check the code style.

I think the NO_IRQ definition is missing for ARM64.

Yep, Maybe better to compatible if we don't use the 'NO_IRQ',

The dsb() is ok for ARM32, the ARM32/64 are OK if we can convert the 
dsb() to dsb(sy).
I believe all drivers with 'dsb()' have same issue on ARM64 platform.

correct ... I read this up in the ARM docs 2 days ago too for something.

The "sy" param is the default, which you are allow to omit, so on arm32 dsb() 
and dsb(sy) are the same.

Hmm, after digging into drivers/of/irq.c and kernel/irq/irqdomain.c

when there is an error it returns zero. So NO_IRQ and -1 are not correct 
and on the other side zero can be a valid irq. That sounds a little bit 
fuzzy to me.

IRQ0 is invalid for historical reasons. End of story.

I believe the 'NO_IRQ' is better select if 'NO_IRQ' is defined on ARM64 
platform.

     irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(np, 0);

     if (irq  == NO_IRQ)
...
Also, that's ok if we instead of the 'irq < 0'  or  '!irq' , right?

Hi Thomas,

there is one thing I don't understand.

If the IRQ0 is invalid, irq_of_parse_and_map returning zero means an 
error and from what you said it is ok.

But I see the NO_IRQ on ARM is (-1) and the drivers are checking with 
NO_IRQ the return code of irq_of_parse_and_map. So if there is an error, 
that won't be detected.

For this specific use case above, shall irq_of_parse_and_map returns 
NO_IRQ or the caller checks against zero ?

Beside that, some drivers are internally defining NO_IRQ:
drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h
drivers/ata/sata_dwc_460ex.c
drivers/input/touchscreen/ucb1400_ts.c
drivers/mmc/host/of_mmc_spi.c
drivers/rtc/rtc-m48t59.c
drivers/scsi/NCR5380.h

I don't know the historical changes and the subtleties of the irq 
subsystem (I guess it is considerably complicated by each architecture 
specific bits and the drivers supported on different architectures)

If you have the time, can you give some clarification ?

Thanks

NO_IRQ being -1 is a legacy thing for ARM - all ARM drivers are supposed
to be converted to use <= 0 or == 0 to detect invalid IRQs, and _eventually_
once all users are gone, NO_IRQ deleted.

Moreover, there are supposed to be no _new_ users of NO_IRQ ever added to
the kernel.

Modern drivers should _all_ be using !irq to detect invalid IRQs, and not
using NO_IRQ.

The steps here are:

1. Convert all ARM platforms to start numbering IRQs from 1 rather than 0.
2. Convert all drivers used on ARM to detect lack of IRQ by checking for
   <= 0.
3. Replace NO_IRQ assignments with zero-initialisations.
4. Remove NO_IRQ.

The reason it hasn't happened is that it requires effort and testing,
and rather than running around getting old platforms to boot (which
includes remembering _how_ to get them to boot) with recent kernels,
I prefer to spend my time doing more productive work with modern code.

Done.

More consideration for the future.
Although the "rk3288-timer" is working for 3368, agreed to add the 
'rk3368-timer' for the rk3368-spec  timer in the future.

I understand. I will take the opportunity track down those NO_IRQ in the 
clocksource directory.

Hi Caesar,

so regarding Thomas and Russel answers, let's replace NO_IRQ by '!irq'.

Thanks.

Fixed, I will send the patch v1.

                                ^

Definitely in this case.  irq_create_of_mapping() and therefore
irq_of_parse_and_map() both return _zero_ when they fail, not whatever
happens to be NO_IRQ on a particular architecture.  New code should
_never_ be making any use of NO_IRQ.

That's why I said:

"Modern drivers should _all_ be using !irq to detect invalid IRQs, and not
using NO_IRQ."
