[PATCH v4 0/9] remoteproc: Add support for attaching with rproc

[PATCH v4 0/9] remoteproc: Add support for attaching with rproc

[Mathieu Poirier]

This fourth iteration implements a solution that is fairly different from
what was proposed in V3 and earlier versions.  Three aspects have been 
revisited:

1) Only the scenario where the remoteproc core is attaching to the remote
   processor is implemented.  Other scenarios where actions need to be 
   taken when the remote processor is stopped or crashes will be
   considered in subsequent versions.

2) The introduction of a new RPROC_DETACHED state to be set by platform
   drivers when needing to attach to an already running remote processor.

3) New functions are introduced to replicate the functionality provided by
   rproc_fw_boot() and rproc_start(), minus operations related to firmware
   management. 

Enhancement to the documentation has been left out intentionally until it
is agreed to move forward with this implementation.

Applies cleanly on rproc-next(7dcef3988eed) and will be rebased on v5.8-rc1
when it comes out in two weeks.

Thanks,
Mathieu

[PATCH v4 1/9] remoteproc: Add new RPROC_DETACHED state

[Mathieu Poirier]

Add a new RPROC_DETACHED state to take into account scenarios
where the remoteproc core needs to attach to a remote processor
that is booted by another entity.

Afaict we don't allow the registration of a remoteproc in DETACHED state
without an "attach" function specified and as such we shouldn't be able
to end up here.

On the other hand I think it would make sense to have a system where
"attach" simply just means bring up the communication with the remote
processor, so let's keep it as is and we can adjust it as necessary
later.

[PATCH v4 3/9] remoteproc: Introducing function rproc_attach()

[Mathieu Poirier]

Introducing function rproc_attach() to enact the same actions as
rproc_start(), but without the steps related to the handling of
a firmware image.  That way we can properly deal with scenarios
where the remoteproc core needs to attach with a remote processsor
that has been booted by another entity.

Apart from that I think this looks good.

Missed that you do indeed pm_runtime_get() in the calling function, so I
think we're good on that part. Still need how to actually implement
that (and the prepare/unprepare), in particular if we're moving into
detaching a remoteproc.

I had planned to look at the interaction between the PM runtime and prepare/unprepare
callbacks later today.  Depending on what I find I may end up modifying this
patch...

[PATCH v4 4/9] remoteproc: Introducing function rproc_actuate()

[Mathieu Poirier]

Introduce function rproc_actuate() that provides the same
functionatlity as rproc_fw_boot(), but without the steps that
involve interaction with the firmware image.  That way we can
deal with scenarios where the remoteproc core is attaching
to a remote processor that has already been started by another
entity.

Add a new function to assert the general health of the remote
processor before handing it to the remoteproc core.

I would prefer that you just return -EINVAL; directly.

Overall I think this would be better represented as a switch on
rproc->state though.


I think the logic is sound though.

[PATCH v4 8/9] remoteproc: Refactor function rproc_free_vring()

[Mathieu Poirier]

When function rproc_free_vring() clears the virtio device section
it does so on the cached resource table rather than the one
installed in the remote processor memory.  When a remote processor
has been booted by another entity there is no need to use a cached
table and as such, no need to clear the virtio device section in
it.

[PATCH v4 9/9] remoteproc: Properly handle firmware name when attaching

[Mathieu Poirier]

This patch prevents the firmware image name from being displayed when
the remoteproc core is attaching to a remote processor. This is needed
needed since there is no guarantee about the nature of the firmware
image that is loaded by the external entity.

Do you need to define a new field? what about using rproc->firmware value?

In this case the platform driver could provide a name using rproc_alloc
even if in attached mode, for instance to identify a firmware version...

The problem is often that what gets loaded by the external entity is
not the same as the firmware available to the kernel.  As such
displaying the firmware name provided by the platform driver may not
be accurate when attaching to a remote processor.  Moreover I had to
introduce a new flag because the RPROC_ATTACHED state disappears as
soon as the remoteproc core attaches to the remote processor.  When
attached the state is set to RPROC_RUNNING, but there is still no
telling as to what firmware is running on the remote processor.

Thanks,
Mathieu

How about renaming the bool "firmware_unknown"?

Apart from that, I think this looks good.

My hope was to use the same variable, i.e "autonomous", for the RUNNING ->
DETACHED and CRASHED -> DETACHED scenarios to reduce the amount of
variables we need to keep track of when the functionality is implemented in
upcoming pachsets.

Thanks for the review,

Sounds like a good goal, let's keep it as is for now!

Look good to me, i have only a minor concerns about the code duplication
introduced by the point 3)

If you are agree with that, I plan to do a new review on the stm32 series
when you will start the documentation :-)

This is an idea Bjorn and I have decided to try in the hope of making
the state machine, and the feature as a whole, easier to understand.
It might be one of those rare cases where more code is better.
