Re: [PATCH v3 1/3] iommu: io-pgtable: Add ARM Mali midgard MMU page table format

[Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>]

First let me say congratulations to everyone working on Panfrost - it's
an impressive achievement!

Full disclosure: I used to work on the Mali kbase driver. And have been
playing around with running the Mali user-space blob with the Panfrost
kernel driver.

The nG bit should be ignored by the hardware.

The MMU in Midgard/Bifrost has a quirk similar to
IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_TLBI_ON_MAP - you must perform a cache flush for the
GPU to (reliably) pick up new page table mappings.

You may not have seen this because of the use of the JS_CONFIG_START_MMU
bit - this effectively performs a cache flush and TLB invalidate before
starting a job, however when using a GPU like T760 (e.g. on the Firefly
RK3288) this bit isn't being set. In my testing on the Firefly board I
saw GPU page faults because of this.

There's two options for fixing this - a patch like below adds the quirk
mode to the MMU. Or alternatively always set JS_CONFIG_START_MMU on
jobs. In my testing both options solve the page faults.

To be honest I don't know the reasoning behind kbase making the
JS_CONFIG_START_MMU bit conditional - I'm not aware of any reason why it
can't always be set. My guess is performance, but I haven't benchmarked
the difference between this and JS_CONFIG_START_MMU.

Subject: [PATCH] iommu: io-pgtable: IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_TLBI_ON_MAP for LPAE

Midgard/Bifrost GPUs require a TLB invalidation when mapping pages,
implement IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_TLBI_ON_MAP for LPAE iommu page table
formats and add the quirk bit to Panfrost.
