[PATCH v7 0/2] Add rpmsg tty driver

[PATCH v7 0/2] Add rpmsg tty driver

[Arnaud Pouliquen]

This patch set introduces a TTY console on top of the RPMsg framework which
enables the following use cases:
- Provide a console to communicate easily with the remote processor application.
- Provide an interface to get the remote processor log traces without ring
  buffer limitation.
- Ease the migration from MPU + MCU processors to multi core processors
  (MPU and MCU integrated in one processor) by offering a virtual serial link.

An alternative of this proposed solution would consist in using the virtio
console:
The drawback with that solution is that it requires a specific virtio buffer
(in addition to the one already used for RPMsg) which does not fit with remote
processors with little memory. The proposed solution allows to multiplex the
console with the other rpmsg services, optimizing the memory.

The first patch adds an API to the rpmsg framework ('get max transmission unit')
and the second one is the rpmsg tty driver itself.

Previous revision:
- the patch 1/2 ("rpmsg: core: add API to get MTU) has been discussed in a
  separate thread on remoteproc mailing list:
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11333509/
- Previous version of the patch 2/2 (tty: add rpmsg driver) available here:
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11130213/

Main delta vs v6:
 - Pack the rpmsg_tty_ctrl struct.
 - MTU API acked by Suman Anna from Texas Intruments company.

[PATCH v7 1/2] rpmsg: core: add API to get MTU

[Arnaud Pouliquen]

Return the rpmsg buffer MTU for sending message, so rpmsg users
can split a long message in several sub rpmsg buffers.

Hmm, I don't think all callers of tty_write_room() handle negative values...

But some drivers also return negative values. There is some work to be
done, adding to TODO.

For the time being, I suggest returning 0 instead.

Or better, convert the negative to 0 in rpmsg_tty_write_room for now.

Right, seems that a negative return of tty_write_room seems not always handled
so i will force to 0 in rpmsg_tty in case of error returned. I will also
add a comment in code that explain the context.

[PATCH v7 2/2] tty: add rpmsg driver

[Arnaud Pouliquen]

This driver exposes a standard TTY interface on top of the rpmsg
framework through a rpmsg service.

This driver supports multi-instances, offering a /dev/ttyRPMSGx entry
per rpmsg endpoint.

+=============
+The rpmsg TTY
+=============
+
+The rpmsg tty driver implements serial communication on the RPMsg bus to makes possible for user-space programs to send and receive rpmsg messages as a standard tty protocol.
+
+The remote processor can instantiate a new tty by requesting:
+- a "rpmsg-tty-raw" RPMsg service, for TTY raw data support without flow control
+- a "rpmsg-tty-ctrl" RPMSg service, for TTY support with flow control.
+
+Information related to the RPMsg and associated tty device is available in
+/sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.
+
+RPMsg TTY without control
+---------------------
+
+The default end point associated with the "rpmsg-tty-raw" service is directly
+used for data exchange. No flow control is available.
+
+To be compliant with this driver, the remote firmware must create its data end point associated with the "rpmsg-tty-raw" service.
+
+RPMsg TTY with control
+---------------------
+
+The default end point associated with the "rpmsg-tty-ctrl" service is reserved for
+the control. A second endpoint must be created for data exchange.
+
+The control channel is used to transmit to the remote processor the CTS status,
+as well as the end point address for data transfer.
+
+To be compatible with this driver, the remote firmware must create or use its end point associated with "rpmsg-tty-ctrl" service, plus a second endpoint for the data flow.
+On Linux rpmsg_tty probes, the data endpoint address and the CTS (set to disable)
+is sent to the remote processor.
+The remote processor has to respect following rules:
+- It only transmits data when Linux remote cts is enable, otherwise message
+  could be lost.
+- It can pause/resume reception by sending a control message (rely on CTS state).
+
+Control message structure:

It's packed as payload of the RP message and so define is global size.
This struct is misaligned with the code.

I will take into account your comments in next version.

I still don't like the idea that the tty devices are tied to channels by
fixed names.

This makes the driver unusable for communicating with any firmware out
there that provides tty-like data over a channel with a different name -
such as modems with channels providing an AT command interface (they are
not named "rpmsg-tty-raw").

I also fail to see how you would distinguish ttys when the firmware
provides more than a single tty - e.g. say you have a modem-like device
that provides an AT command channel and a NMEA stream.


These are the reasons why drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_char registers a "control
device", from which you can spawn new char devices. As I've said before,
I really think the same approach should be taken for ttys - perhaps by
just extending the rpmsg_char to allow it to create tty devices in
addition to the "packet based" char device?

Bjorn

This point has been discussed with Xiang, he has the same kind of requirement. 
My proposal here is to do this in two steps. First a fixed name, then
in a second step we can extend the naming using the implementation proposed
by Mathieu Poirier:

[1]https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/12/1083

Is this patch could answer to your requirement?

if requested i can I can integrate the Mathieu's patch in this patchset.

I'm not fixed on the naming, any proposal is welcome.
If we use the patch [1], could be renamed 
"rpmsg-tty". then for AT command could be something like "rpmsg-tty-at"

But here seems we are speaking about service over TTY and not over RPMsg.

Today it is a limitation. In fact this limitation is the same for all RPMsg
devices with multi instance.
The patch [1] will allow to retrieve the instance by identifying
the service device name in /sys/class/tty/ttyRPMSG<X>/device/name

I'm not very familiar with the rpmsg_char so please correct me if i'm wrong:

The rpmsg_char exposes to userland an interface to manage rpmsg channels
(relying on a char device). This interface offers the  possibility to create
new channels/endpoints and send/received related messages. 
 
Thus, the application declares the RPMsg channels which is bound if they matches
with the remote processor channel (similar behavior than a kernel rpmsg driver).
There is no constrain on the service once same service is advertised by remote
firmware.

In addition, a limitation of the rpmsg_char device is that it needs to be
associated with an existing device, as example the implementation in qcom_smd
driver.

If i try to figure out how to implement TTY using the rpmsg_char:
I should create a rpmsg_char dev in the rpmsg tty driver. Then application
will create channels related to its service. But in this case
how to ensure that channels created are related to the TTY service?  


I would also expect to manage RPMsg TTY such as a generic TTY: without
extra interface and auto mounted as an USB TTY. this means that the
/dev/ttyRMPSGx are created automatically at remote firmware startup
(without any application action). For instance a generic application 
(e.g. minicom) could control an internal remote processor such as
an external processor through a TTY link. 

Then we have also similar RPMsg driver for I2C and SPI virtual link. So extend
the rpmsg_char to support TTY seems not a good solution for long terms. 

For these reasons i would prefer to have a specific driver. And found a solution
to allow user to differentiate the TTY instances.

Anyway I am very interesting in having more details of an implementation relying
on rpmsg_char if you still thinking that is the good approach here.

Arnaud

Do you think you would find time to move forward with this discussion?
I would like to prepare a v8 to fix issue reported on v7, but as your comments
challenges the driver itself, i would prefer that we first find solutions
that address your concerns.

Correct, the rpmsg_char control device must be associated with a
transport instance, e.g. a virtio rpmsg instance sitting on a
remoteproc. This is necessary in order to be able to tie the dynamically
created rpmsg_char endpoints (i.e. the thing that is similar to your tty
devices) to a particular transport/remoteproc..

The reason why qcom_smd needs to be involved is because of the problem
that I want the control device to appear without depending on particular
channels being exposed by the firmware.

My proposal/wish is that 1) rpmsg_char is implemented for virtio/rpmsg,
so that the control device is registered as virtio rpmsg is initiated
and 2) that rpmsg_char is extended to allow creating tty devices in
addition to the existing interface (if the existing read/write interface
isn't enough).

And that's not possible using the two-stage approach rpmsg_char takes,
instead I use udev rules to invoke the ioctl on the control device.

The benefit is that the design of the firmware is not tied to the design
of the Linux system.

I do think it's a good idea to decouple the system design on the Linux
side from the naming of channels provided by the firmware.

So your proposal is to manage the tty devices throught the rpmsg_char. 

Look to me that we have two use cases here:
1) offer a standard tty device to allows application to communicate with
the remote firmware:
 - allow to use "standard application such as terminal tools,
 - keep application compatibility to communicate with an external processor
 through a serial link or with an co processor through rpmsg.
 - take benefice of the line discipline management uses by applications.
=> need an "auto" probe of the tty device

2) Expose the channels to the userland without devices. This would
be the role of the rpmsg_char probed by the virtio rpmsg.
=> application manages the channels using the char device.
=> only the application has the notion of the service associated to the channel.

Look to me that correlate both would be not flexible. 
I would keep rpmsg_char device channel service agnostic, and let application
manage the service.
In this case it would a design choice to support the service trough the TTY
interface or the rpmsg char device interface.

Agree, the rpmsg char device is very interesting for this. Today the alternative
is to implement RPMsg in userland using the OpenAMP library.

No my point here is that we have also on shelves an rpmsg_i2c and an rpmsg_spi
drivers to manage in the same way a virtual i2c[1] and a virtual SPI with
the possibility to have Linux client drivers and/or userland interface.

So extend rpmsg_char to create a tty device in addition could be the first
step of the support of a lot of in-kernel and/or userland interfaces.

IMO both have to be considered in parallel and should not be correlated as far as
possible. Extend the char device to decouple the system from the naming this seems to me a
good solution but another topic.

That said, I may not fully understand your approach. Please don't hesitate to correct me.

In any case, I cannot/will not go ahead with this implementation without your agreement.
So, please, could you tell me if an rpmsg_tty is acceptable from your point of view or if
you consider that it is mandatory to implement the tty device in rpmsg_char.

Arnaud

Provided you always pass TTY_NORMAL, why not simply call

Number to bool implicit conversion needs no magic, just do:

Should the state be bool? Should it be named "ready" instead?

This is kmemdup, but why do you do that in the first place?

data of rpmsg_trysendto is not const. OK, you seem you need to change
that first, I see no blocker for that.

You should return ERR_PTR(cport->id) instead. It might be ENOMEM too.

sizeof of a string feels unnatural, but will work in this case. Can a

In this case i would prefer  cport->cts = (msg->cts != 1);

I created a temporary buffer to ensure that buffer to sent does not exceed the 
MTU size.
But perhaps this is an useless protection as the rpmsg_tty_write_room already
return the MTU value, and so the 'len' variable can not be higher that value
returned by the write_room?

I don't know if a compiler can do this...
what about replacing sizeof by strlen function? 
i saw some code example that use strlen with static string...
(e.g  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c#L1193)


I will take into account all your other comments in may next version.

That still looks confusing. In the ternary operator above, you used
msg->cts as a bool implicitly and now you are trying to artificially
create one :)?

IOW in a bool context, "msg->cts ? 1 : 0" is the same as "msg->cts".

You still can limit it by msg_size without cloning the buffer, right?

No, I mean where do you use the allocated buffer? mips_ejtag_fdc.c uses it.

The question was exactly about that: can a compiler optimize it to a
bare number or will strlen call remain there?

Perfect, but:
* that is userspace (different strlen).
* what about other archs -- AFAIR, i386 implements strlen in asm in the
kernel

Maybe compilers use intrinsics and only after optimizations, they put a
call to strlen?

/me digging

Yeah, even gimple already contains:
  int D.2094;

  D.2094 = 3;
  return D.2094;


That means, even -O0 should generate 3 instead of the call:
$ echo -e '#include <string.h>\nint f() { return strlen("abc"); }' | gcc
-S -x c - -o - -O0
...
f:
.LFB0:
        .cfi_startproc
        pushq   %rbp
        .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
        .cfi_offset 6, -16
        movq    %rsp, %rbp
        .cfi_def_cfa_register 6
        movl    $3, %eax
        popq    %rbp
        .cfi_def_cfa 7, 8
        ret
        .cfi_endproc


So fine, use strlen :).

same result with  arm gcc using  -O1 or -Og:

str.o:     file format elf32-littlearm


Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <foo>:
   0:	e3a00003 	mov	r0, #3
   4:	e12fff1e 	bx	lr

So in conclusion replacing sizeof by srlen even if not optimized in -o0, right?

Right, gcc guys just confirmed, that it's constant-folded during parsing
already. I asked them as I tried to dump the tree.original and the
constant was already there.

So we are safe to use strlen, at least for gcc :P. Others should adapt
if they don't follow.

you are right, but in this case i need to cast the buff to suppress compilation

Shouldn't this be TTY_CH_NAME_RAW instead of TTY_CH_NAME_WITH_CTS?

Here too I don't understand why we are talking about the control channel when
the data channel is created.  Am I missing something?

Also I suggest function rpmsg_tty_cp() to be split, one for control and one for
data.  That will make it easier to follow who processes what.

If I'm not mistaken support for more than one tty
per remote proc can't happen because of rpmsg_find_device() in
rpmsg_create_channel() - is this correct?

Thanks,

The TTY_CH_NAME_WITH_CTS represent here the service "TTY support with flow control"
the aim here is to define 2 endpoints on top of the service channel.
the main is used for the CTS control but also to exchange the addresses of the 
second endpoint that is used for the data flow. 
here if you associate the 2nd endpoint to a différent service name, you have no
correlation between the control ept and the data endpoint ( at least if you
want to support multi instance)

I can probaly implement it in a different way using your path [1]
by creating a correlation between the control and the data, based
on the naming.
something like:
- "tty-featureA"  /* data stream associated to featureA"
- "tty-featureB"  /* data stream associated to featureB"
- "tty-ctl-featureB"  /* control associated to featureB"

That would be probably more straight forward for users...

you mean rpmsg_tty_probe?  yes i will.

There is not bloker to instantiate the same service several times.
On remote side it is enough to create 2 endpoints with the same service
name and with the destination address set to RPMSG_ADDR_ANY. This will
trig 2 rpmsg_ns_cb, that will probe 2 times the device.

As example please have a look to the stm32MP1 sample here which creates
2 tty rpmsg channels:
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/STM32CubeMP1/tree/master/Projects/STM32MP157C-DK2/Applications/OpenAMP/OpenAMP_TTY_echo

Right - the new endpoint, the one that is about to be created using
"chinfo.name" is a data endpoint, hence the confusion.

I would do "tty-featureB-ctrl".  That way "tty-featureB" and
"tty-featureB-ctrl" always appear one after the other when doing an
"ls" on the command line.

Splitting rpmsg_tty_probe() would be good too, but I was referring to
rpmsg_tty_cb().

You are correct.  I took another look at rpmsg_device_match() and the
second condition [2] allows for channels to have the same name for as
long as the destination address is different.

Series put on hold after discussion with Bjorn. First we need to define the interface and mechanism
to allow any service name to be associated with an rpmsg service based on the IOCTL user interface. 
The goal is to allow the Linux application to initiate the link. This work will be done on the 
rpmsg char and then extend to other generic interfaces such as TTY.
