>
> Qcom's implementation of arm,mmu-500 adds a WAIT-FOR-SAFE logic
> to address under-performance issues in real-time clients, such as
> Display, and Camera.
> On receiving an invalidation requests, the SMMU forwards SAFE request
> to these clients and waits for SAFE ack signal from real-time clients.
> The SAFE signal from such clients is used to qualify the start of
> invalidation.
> This logic is controlled by chicken bits, one for each - MDP (display),
> IFE0, and IFE1 (camera), that can be accessed only from secure software
> on sdm845.

> This configuration, however, degrades the performance of non-real time

> logic enabled the hardware tries to throttle non-real time clients while
> waiting for SAFE ack signals from real-time clients.

> On mtp845 and db845 devices, with wait-for-safe logic enabled by the
> bootloaders we see degraded performance of USB and UFS when kernel
> enables the smmu stage-1 translations for these clients.
> Turn off this wait-for-safe logic from the kernel gets us back the perf
> of USB and UFS devices until we re-visit this when we start seeing perf
> issues on display/camera on upstream supported SDM845 platforms.
> The bootloaders on these boards implement secure monitor callbacks to
> handle a specific command - QCOM_SCM_SVC_SMMU_PROGRAM with which the
> logic can be toggled.
>
> There are other boards such as cheza whose bootloaders don't enable this
> logic. Such boards don't implement callbacks to handle the specific SCM
> call so disabling this logic for such boards will be a no-op.

> This change is inspired by the downstream change from Patrick Daly
> to address performance issues with display and camera by handling
> this wait-for-safe within separte io-pagetable ops to do TLB
> maintenance. So a big thanks to him for the change and for all the
> offline discussions.
