[RFC PATCH 0/5] New RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver

[RFC PATCH 0/5] New RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver

[Anup Patel]

This patchset provides a new RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver
for managing per-CPU local interrupts. The overall approach is inspired
from the way per-CPU local interrupts are handled by Linux ARM64 and
ARM GICv3 driver.

Few advantages of having this new driver are as follows:
1. It registers all local interrupts as per-CPU interrupts
2. We can develop drivers for devices with per-CPU local interrupts
without changing arch code or this driver
3. It allows local interrupt controller DT node under each CPU DT node
as well as single system-wide DT node for local interrupt controller.

With this patchset, output of "cat /proc/interrupts" looks as follows:
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3       
  5:        995       1012        997       1015  RISC-V INTC   5 Edge      riscv_timer
  8:         23          6         10          7  SiFive PLIC   8 Edge      virtio0
 10:          9         10          5          4  SiFive PLIC  10 Edge      ttyS0

The patchset is based up Linux-4.19-rc2 and can be found at
riscv_intc_v1 branch of:

[RFC PATCH 1/5] RISC-V: Make IPI triggering flexible

[Anup Patel]

The mechanism to trigger IPI is generally part of interrupt-controller
driver for various architectures. On RISC-V, we have an option to trigger
IPI using SBI or SOC vendor can implement RISC-V CPU where IPI will be
triggered using SOC interrupt-controller (e.g. custom PLIC).

This patch makes IPI triggering flexible by providing a mechanism for
interrupt-controller driver to register IPI trigger function using
set_smp_ipi_trigger() function.

The scause is already part of pt_regs so no need to pass
scause as separate arg to do_IRQ().

[RFC PATCH 4/5] irqchip: RISC-V Local Interrupt Controller Driver

[Anup Patel]

The RISC-V local interrupt controller manages software interrupts,
timer interrupts, external interrupts (which are routed via the
platform level interrupt controller) and per-HART local interrupts.

This patch add a driver for RISC-V local interrupt controller. It's
a major re-write over perviously submitted version.
(Refer, https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg241230.html)

Few advantages of this new driver over previous one are:
1. It registers all local interrupts as per-CPU interrupts
2. We can develop drivers for devices with per-CPU local interrupts
without changing arch code or this driver
3. It allows local interrupt controller DT node under each CPU DT node
as well as single system-wide DT node for local interrupt controller.

The RISC-V INTC driver is compliant with RISC-V Hart-Level Interrupt
Controller DT bindings located at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/riscv,cpu-intc.txt

[RFC PATCH 5/5] clocksource: riscv_timer: Make timer interrupt as a per-CPU interrupt

[Anup Patel]

Instead of directly calling RISC-V timer interrupt handler from
RISC-V local interrupt conntroller driver, this patch implements
RISC-V timer interrupt as a per-CPU interrupt using per-CPU APIs
of Linux IRQ subsystem.

Re: [RFC PATCH 1/5] RISC-V: Make IPI triggering flexible

Which is exactly what we want to avoid, and should not make it easy.

The last thing we need is non-standard whacky IPI mechanisms, and
that is why we habe SBI calls for it.  I think we should simply
stat that if an RISC-V cpu design bypasse the SBI for no good reason
we'll simply not support it.

So NAK for this patch.

This is already selected by arch/riscv/Kconfig.

This is something only used by ISA drivers.  Why would we want that
on RISC-V?

> GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL

We don't really have any special level triggerd irq handling in
RISC-V.  That being said this is trivial and I don't see why it
even is a Kconfig option.  Please have a discussion with Thomas
and Marc on why we have this option instead of a default.

> HANDLE_DOMAIN_IRQ

We aren't using handle_domain_irq anywhere in RISC-V, no need to
build this.

Please explain why this is an advantage.

Please explain why this is a good thing and not just a workaround for
the fact that some moron decided they need non-standard interrupts
and should only be done as a last resort.

Please explain why this is can't happen right now.

Downsides are that it is a heck lot more code and introduces indirect
calls in the interrupt fast path.

So for now a clear NAK.

It's outrageous to call IPI mechanisms using interrupt-controller as "wacky".

Lot of architectures have well thought-out interrupt-controller designs with
IPI support.

In fact having IPIs through interrupt-controller drivers is much faster because
SBI call will have it's own overhead and M-mode code with eventually write
to some platform-specific/interrupt-controller register. The SBI call only makes
sense for very simple interrupt-controller (such as PLIC) which do not provide
IPI mechanism. It totally seems like SBI call for triggering IPIs was added as
workaround to address limitations of current PLIC.

RISC-V systems require a more mature and feature complete interrupt-controllers
which supports IPIs, PCI MSI, and Virtualization Extensions.

I am sure will see a much better interrupt controller (PLIC++ or something else)
soon.

>
> So NAK for this patch.

I think you jumped the gun to quickly here.

This patch does two things:
1. Adds a pluggable IPI triggering mechanism
2. Make IPI handling mechanism more generic so that we can
call IPI handler from interrupt-controller driver.

Your primary objection seems to be for point1 above. I will drop that
part only keep changes related to point2 above.

Yes, thanks for pointing. GENERIC_IRQ_PROBE is not required at

Most of MMIO device interrupts are level-interrupts. In fact, all
HW interrupt lines coming to PLIC will be level-interrupts. It's
just that PLIC does not implement state machine to sample
Level-IRQs and Edge-IRQs differently. Even the interrupt-controller
virtualization in hypervisors deal with Level and Edge interrupts
differently.

I am sure we will see both Level and Edge triggered interrupts
in RISC-V system. The MMIO device interrupts will be mostly
Level triggered and PCI MSIs will be mapped as Edge triggered
by MSI controller.

We should definitely select GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL
so that nature of IRQ interrupt line is evident in /proc/interrupts.

The new RISC-V local interrupt controller driver introduced by
this patchset uses handle_domain_irq().

The main advantage of handle_domain_irq() is that it helps reduce
few lines of code which is otherwise common across interrupt-controller
drivers (mostly code related to irq_enter(), irq_exit(), and set_irq_regs()).

Previously submitted driver, registered separate irq_domain for
each CPU and local IRQs were registered as regular IRQs to IRQ
subsystem.
(Refer, https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg241230.html)

The previously submitted driver had following sort-comings:
1. Required separate interrupt-controller DT node for each CPU
2. Wasted lot of IRQ numbers because each CPU will has its
own IRQ domain
3. irq_enable()/irq_disable() had to explicitly use smp_call_function_single()
to disable given IRQ on all CPUs

Instead of above, the new driver (this patch) registers only single
irq_domain common for each CPU and local IRQs are registered
as per-CPU IRQs to IRQ subsystem. Due to this we only need one
DT node for local interrupt controller and if multiple DT nodes are
present then we ignore them using atomic counter. We use same
IRQ number for local interrupts for all CPUs. Further, irq_enable()/
irq_disable() of per-CPU interrupts is handled internally by Linux
IRQ subsystem.

Let me give you few examples of per-CPU interrupts from ARM world:

1. CPU PMU IRQs: Lot of ARM SoCs have PMU IRQ of a CPU mapped
as PPI (i.e. Per-CPU IRQ). This means PMU events on ARM generate
per-CPU IRQs

2. GICv2/GICv3 maintenance IRQs: The virtualization extensions in
GICv2/GICv3 help hypervisor inject virtual IRQs. The list registers using
which virtual IRQs are injected is limited resource and GICv2/GICv3
provides per-CPU maintenance IRQ to manage list registers. It is quite
possible that RISC-V SOC vendors will come-up with PLIC++ which
has virtualization extension requiring per-CPU IRQs.

3, MSI to local IRQs; The GICv3 has separate module called ITS which
implements a HW MSI controller. The GICv3 ITS translates MSI writes
from PCI devices to per-CPU interrupts called LPIs. It is quite possible
that RISC-V SOC vendors will come-up with PLIC++ which allows
mapping MSI writes to local per-CPU IRQ.

Apart from above, it is possible to have a CPU interconnect which
report bus errors of a CPU as per-CPU IRQs.

If you still think above examples are moronic then I cannot help
improve your understanding of per-CPU IRQs.

Currently, we don't have any local interrupt controller driver so
DT nodes for local interrupt controller are ignored.

The advantage point3 (above) is in-comparison to previously
submitted driver for RISC-V local interrupt controller.
(Refer, https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg241230.html)

Without this patch IRQ handling flow is:
RISC-V entry.S --> do_IRQ() --> plic_handle_irq()

With this patch IRQ handling flow is:
RISC-V entry.S --> do_IRQ() --> riscv_intc_irq() --> plic_handle_irq()

I have an optimisation lined-up where RISC-V entry.S can
directly call handle_arch_irq (just like Linux ARM64). With
this optimisation IRQ handling flow will be:
RISC-V entry.S --> riscv_intc_irq() --> plic_handle_irq()

As you can see it is not "lot more code". In return, we get
to use per-CPU IRQs via Linux IRQ subsystem.

Instead of short-circuiting timer interrupt from low-level IRQ handler, we use
Linux per-CPU IRQ handling for timer interrupt.

Without this patch, output of "cat /proc/interrupts" looks as follows:
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3

I call pluggable IPI whacky, and it's not outragous.  What is outragous
is your bullshit architecture astronaut patches.

There might be a nned to abstract IPI details even more in the future,
but the way to do it is either architectureally in the RISC-V privileged
spec, or in the SBI spec once we actually have one.

Having host OSes go through hoops to provide pluggable IPI
implementations is complete bullshit, and the argument that we already
have this in some architectures is not a good reason to repeat that
mistake.

Please settle the argument with Thomas and Marc on what the default
for this option should be - in the end it just shows another line
in procfs, and I see no reason for RISC-V to ever deviated from the
global Linux default here, whatever that default is.

And we reject that driver approach for good reason and are now
doing the architectualy low-level irq handling in common code
without any need whatsover to duplicate information in the
privileged spec in DT.

I agree.  Hiding this sort of stuff is the whole point of the SBI.

Anup: do you have some concrete reason for trying to avoid the SBI?  If it's 
just to add non-standard interrupt controllers then I don't think that's a 
sufficient reason, as you can just add support for whatever the non-standard 
interrupt mechanism is in the SBI implementation -- that's what we're doing 
with BBL's CLINT driver, though there's not a whole lot of wackiness there so 
at least the SBI implementation is pretty small.

> So NAK for this patch.

Certainly without a compelling reason, and even then I'd only want to take some 
standard interrupt controller -- for example, the CLIC (or whatever the result 
of the fast interrupts task group is called) could be a viable option.  Even 
with a standard interrupt controller, we'd need a really compelling reason to 
do so.

This patch is doing two things:
1. Allow IRQCHIP driver to provide IPI trigger mechanism
2. Have more generic IPI handler in arch/riscv so that IRQCHIP driver
can call it

The main intention behind point1 was to allow interrupt-controller
specific IPI triggering mechanism. I am totally fine in dropping changes
related to point1. May be we can revisit this if we find compelling use-case.

I will revise this patch to have changes related to point2 only. These
changes are required for the new RISCV local interrupt controller
driver introduced by this patchset.

In other words, the whole idea of separate RISCV local interrupt
controller driver was dropped due duplicate information in privilege
spec DT ??

Anyway, I think we should certainly have RISCV local interrupt
controller driver to manage local IRQs using Linux IRQ
subsystem. This gives us future flexibility in having more
per-CPU IRQ without changing any arch/riscv code.

Based on ARM examples which I had provided, it is very
likely that we will see more per-CPU IRQs in future. Some of
these will be device IRQs and some will be CPU specific
per-CPU IRQs (such as bus error interrupts).

And the big questions is why do we want that?  The last thing we
want is for people to "innovate" on how they deliver IPIs.  RISC-V
has defined an SBI interface for it to hide all the details, and
we should not try to handle systems that are not SBI compliant.

Eventuall we might want to revisit the SBI to improve on shortcomings
if there are any, but we should not allow random irqchip drivers to
override this.

And that is rather irrelevant without 1) above.

No.  We came to the conflusion that a few registers on a cpu
that allow enabling/disabling local vs external vs timer intterupts
aren't worth writing an irqchip (or DT entries) for.

I have already dropped this part from the PATCH v2.

Nopes, this is required for the RISC-V INTC driver.

I agree.  The whole point of the SBI is to provide an interface that everyone 
uses so we can the go figure out how to make this fast later.  If each platform 
has their own magic IPI hooks then this will end up being a mess.

We've got some schemes floating around to make the SBI fast (essentially an SBI 
VDSO), I'd prefer to push on that rather than adding a bunch of complexity 
here.

Yes, I have already removed the IPI triggering part from this patchset.
