Add the possibility to dump the SFDP data of a flash device.

More and more flash devices share the same flash ID and we need per device
fixups. Usually, these fixups differentiate flashes by looking at
differences in the SFDP data. Determining the difference is only possible
if we have the SFDP data for all the flashes which share a flash ID. This
will lay the foundation to dump the whole SFDP data of a flash device.

This is even more important, because some datasheets doesn't even contain
the SFDP data. Fixups for these kind of flashes are nearly impossible to
do.

I envision having a database of all the SFDP data for the flashes we
support and make it a requirement to submit it when a new flash is added.
This might or might not have legal implications. Thus I'd start with having
that database private to the SPI NOR maintainers.

Changes since RFC:
 - Don't read SFDP data after probe. The flash might already be switched to
   8D-8D-8D mode. Instead, cache the SFDP data
 - add two sysfs files: jedec-id and name
 - change the file mode of the sfdp file from 0400 to 0444. There is no
   hardware access anymore.

Due to possible mode switching to 8D-8D-8D, it might not be possible to
read the SFDP after the initial probe. To be able to dump the SFDP via
sysfs afterwards, make a complete copy of it.

Add support to show the name and JEDEC identifier as well as to dump the
SFDP table. Not all flashes list their SFDP table contents in their
datasheet. So having that is useful. It might also be helpful in bug
reports from users.

The idea behind the sysfs module is also to have raw access to the SPI
NOR flash device registers, which can also be useful for debugging.

Hi Michael,

I like the idea to dump the sfdp data,it will make debug easier. should it go in debugfs?
we already have debugfs files for partname and partid of the flash.

perhaps sysfs_emit() instead if we go sysfs? as suggested by [1].

I've seen that, but thats for the MTD subsystem and is per MTD. Well,
one could add an own debugfs for spi-nor, but I still fear it might
not be available just when its needed. Of course a developer can
easily enable it for its debugging kernel. But I'm not sure if thats
the only use case.

I'd guess it boils down to, whether there could also be tooling
around this. Eg. think of something like "lssfdp".

I'd prefer sysfs, but lets hear what the maintainers think.

Thanks, didn't know about that new helper.

*sigh* If BFPT header was not made a part of the main SFDP header, two 
"sfdp_size = ..." would not be needed, and we could do it all in one 
place.

You can do that refactor if you're feeling like it, but I won't insist 
on it.

Ok. 4K should be large enough for any reasonable SFDP table.

I assume you made nor->sfdp a pointer and not an embedded struct so it 
can easily indicate if SFDP was found or not, correct?

The SFDP spec says that Parameter Table Pointer should be DWORD aligned 
and Parameter Table length is specified in number of DWORDs. So, 
sfdp_size should always be a multiple of 4. Any SFDP table where this is 
not true is an invalid one.

Also, the spec says "Device behavior when the Read SFDP command crosses 
the SFDP structure boundary is not defined".

So I think this should be a check for alignment instead of a round-up.

Free sfdp here since it won't be used any longer.

Free sfdp and sfdp->dwords here since they won't be used any longer.

nor->sfdp is a pointer. This should not be needed.

Hi Michael,

I have not worked with sysfs much so only giving this patch a quick 
overview.

Your current patch does not add this feature. Why do you think it is 
important enough to mention it?

Is a NULL check needed here? If the flash does not have a SFDP table 
nor->sfdp will be NULL.

It was part of my first (not submitted) version. I.e. you could also
read the status register(s). Comes in handy for debugging the locking
code, for example.

I can also remove that paragraph ;)

I think that could be refactored when we also use the SFDP cache for
the remaining parsing.

Well, that woundn't help for debugging. I.e. you also want the SFDP data
in cases like this. IMHO we should try hard enough to actually get a
reasonable dump.

OTOH we also rely on the header and the pointers in the header. Any
other ideas, but just to chicken out?

I see, spi_nor_parse_sfdp() is optional and won't fail the probe.
Nice catch.

Oh, forgot to mention, sfdp_size is used to read the data. I just want
to make sure, the allocated area is large enough. We shouldn't hit the
undefined behavior by reading past the SFDP.

Maybe that check should be part of the parsing code.

Honestly, I don't think reading past the SFDP boundary would be too bad. 
It probably will just be some garbage data. But if you want to avoid 
that, you can always round down instead of up. This way you will only 
miss the last DWORD at most. In either case, a warning should be printed 
so this problem can be brought to the user's attention.

Like I said, while the storage will be rounded up to a multiple of
DWORDs, only sfdp_size is transferred. Thus it case a pointer is not
DWORD aligned, we end up with zeros at the end.

I'll add a comment.

I was about to add a warning/debug message. But its the wrong place.
It should really be checked in the for loop which iterates over the
headers before parsing them. You could check sfdp_size but then two
unaligned param pointers might cancel each other out.

This can be a seperate patch, besides adding a warning, should there
be any other things to do, e.g. stop parsing and error out?

Btw, this can be spi_nor_read_sfdp(). But I'm not sure, what this
whole dma capable buffer should be. Is kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL)
considered DMA safe?

The buffer ends in spi_nor_read_data(), which is also called from
mtdcore:

spi_nor_read_sfdp()
   spi_nor_read_raw()
     spi_nor_read_data()

mtd_read()
   mtd_read_oob()
     mtd_read_oob_std()
       spi_nor_read()
         spi_nor_read_data()

Is the buffer passed from mtd_read() also DMA-safe? Doesn't the SPI
drivers allocate DMA safe buffers if they need them?

Just removing the bad table from the "tables to parse" list should be 
the most conservative option.

I think spi_nor_read_sfdp_dma_unsafe() is meant for buffers that are 
allocated on stack. Both its current users pass in buffers on the stack. 
Also see bfa4133795e5 (mtd: spi-nor: fix DMA unsafe buffer issue in 
spi_nor_read_sfdp(), 2017-09-06).

sfdp->dwords is a DMA safe buffer, so you should directly use 
spi_nor_read_sfdp() here. All spi_nor_read_sfdp_dma_unsafe() does is 
allocate a buffer using kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL), pass it to 
spi_nor_read_sfdp() and copy the contents back.

SPI MEM at least requires the buffers to be DMA-safe. The comment for 
data.buf.in says "input buffer (must be DMA-able)".

Dunno if mtd_read() always passes a DMA-safe buffer though.

Michael, I like the idea of saving the SFDP data, but I think this can be
improved a little. For example, it is not mandatory for the tables to be
continuous in memory, there can be some gaps between BFPT and SMPT for example,
thus we can improve the memory allocation logic. Also, we can make the saved sfdp
data table-agnostic so that we don't duplicate the reads in parse_bfpt/smpt/4bait.
Are you willing to respin?

Cheers,
ta

I want to parse the SFDP as little as possible. Keep in mind, that this 
should
help to debug SFDP (errors). Therefore, I don't want to rely on the SFDP 
saying
"hey there is a hole, please skip it". Who knows if there is some useful 
data?

This falls into the same category as above. While it might be reused, 
the
primary use case is to have the SFDP data available to a developer/user. 
Eg.
what will you do with some holes in the sysfs read()? Return zeros?

FWIW I'm planning to refactor the read code so the cached values are 
used.

What kind of useful data? Do we care about data that doesn't follow the jesd216
standard?

We don't have to have gaps in our internal buffer, we just allocate as much
as we need and we write into our internal buffer just the sfdp tables, without
the gaps.

Yes because, it should be a raw dump of the SFDP data (of whatever
the flash vendor thinks is valid). You want to be able to debug
non-compliant SFDP data. Otherwise, this doesn't make any sense to
have it in the first place.

There are two use cases:
  (1) cache the data for the SFDP table parsing
  (2) provide a raw dump of the SFDP

This patch targets (2). So first, you'd need to allocate multiple
buffers, then you'd have to combine them again for the raw SFDP dump
and finally you'd need to fill the gaps for the dump again. Because
what I expect is to have a contiguous "sfdp" sysfs file.

Sorry for the delay..

There is already debugfs support for dumping JEDEC ID [1]. Any reason to
add sysfs entry as well?

That brings up another question. Since SFDP dumps are more of a debug
aid, should this be a debugfs entry rather than sysfs entry?

Note that sysfs entries are userspace ABIs just like syscalls and thus
need to be documented in Documentation/ABI/testing/ or
Documentation/ABI/stable. Thus need to be carefully designed compared to
debugfs which are much more flexible.

This is per mtd while the sfdp is per flash device. IMHO both should
be at the same place.

And you're not the first one asking that. My argument was that the
debugfs might not be available just when you need it. A developer
could easily rebuild a kernel, but imagine some user with a COTS
distro and some problems, then it is not that easy anymore. But
thats your call to make.

Ok. But I don't see a problem adding these read-only files
  /sfdp
  /name
  /jedec-id

Do you?

This appears to be racing with user space. By the time we reach probe(), the
device embedded in the spi_device has already been registered, with the uevent
sent out, right? udev may not see the new attributes created here.

Since we reuse a preexisting device throughout spi-nor, it seems awfully
challenging to be able to safely add sysfs attributes. Would it make sense to
create a spi-nor-specific device/class? Or perhaps attach these attributes to
the device in mtd_info like I've done in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20210428052725.530939-1-awill@google.com/ ?

Do you encounter this problem? I'm currently working on this and dropped
the sysfs_create() and use dev_groups of the driver spi nor driver.

But I'm not sure how it will be handled anyway. Because we know the
content/size SFDP only after the probe and in any case the probe could
also fail. So I don't really understand how that is handled.

I've looked at your patch and it seems that the surpress_uevent() is
rarely used in the kernel.

I don't want to attach it to an MTD device because you might have
multiple ones which has the same SPI flash device as parent. The
SFDP is really a property of the flash device and not one of the
MTD partition.
