	okaya, Sasha Levin

From: Rui Zhao <ruizhao@microsoft.com>

New driver supports DRAM error detection and correction on DMC520
controller.

Validated on actual hardware: DRAM errors showed up once the DDR core
voltage was lowered down by 200+mV using test tool.

That's this thing, right?

> Validated on actual hardware:

Which is what exactly?

This looks like a driver for the memory controller IP and that could get
integrated in other platforms so I'd prefer if this driver was called
<your_platform>_edac and the DMC520 was a generic piece of functionality
like the FSL memory controller IP:

mpc85xx_edac_mod-y                      := fsl_ddr_edac.o mpc85xx_edac.o
obj-$(CONFIG_EDAC_MPC85XX)              += mpc85xx_edac_mod.o

layerscape_edac_mod-y                   := fsl_ddr_edac.o layerscape_edac.o
obj-$(CONFIG_EDAC_LAYERSCAPE)           += layerscape_edac_mod.o

Thx.

Where do I find the dt-binding for this?

It would be good if we can make this generic, so it works on all platforms with
a DMC520, possibly along with other components. (e.g. the a15 L2 driver posted
recently).

This will mostly be getting the DT right, as we can refactor the code when a
second user comes along, but can't change the DT format.


The TRM describes 'a set of interrupts', which ones does the binding anticipate
are wired up for this? There are separate status bits for corrected and
uncorrected, and one pair for dram versus ram. (not sure what this corresponds
with).

Do we care about the link-error interrupt?


It looks you're platform has wired corrected and uncorrected dram up as separate
SPI, but not touched the ram interrupts. These are choices the soc designers
made, we need to capture this stuff in the binding.

A system may have multiple memory controllers, they may share the interrupts.

(It looks like you've folded these corners out by not using IRQF_SHARED: this
driver only works for independent interrupts, which can run concurrently, but
work fine because the only register they both touch is interrupt_clr, which is
write-only.)


For these pre-v8.2-RAS things the expectation is firmware handles all this
stuff. I'm surprised your platform hasn't made the memory-controller
'secure-only', so only platform-firmware can touch it.

I can't see how this could be used on v8/aarch64, it would imply there is no
firmware, which suggests this is a UP system. (or firmware trusts linux not to
mess it up!)

I'm guessing this is for 32bit, where on your platform linux is running in
'secure'. This is a significant platform policy, to make this generic we'd need
to find a way of describing it. i.e., other platforms may have a dmc520, the DT
may describe where it is, but linux can't touch it.
I believe that today this depends on the bootloader knowing which nodes to
remove when starting linux.

I think this policy-bit can be done by having a soc-family/vendor specific
driver that knows which of the edac components can be used on this platform.
The altera driver does something along these lines in altr_sdram_probe().
Obviously if we can have all the data come from DT that is better.

Should these be in the DT?
If someone else has a dmc520 configured slightly differently, how can we get
both systems going, without having to change your system's DT?

If you can read the rank count, why hard code the bank?
(which is what I assume channels corresponds to ... although this has confused
me before [0]).

Is this saying the device supports error scrubbing, but its disabled?
Do we know that?

Can the user try and turn it on? (I can't find anything that reads this!)

It doesn't look like we can configured scrubbing if it wasn't done at boot.
3.3.245 scrub_control0_now of the TRM has "Cannot be written to and only updated
when in CONFIG or LOW-POWER states". I assume we can't put this thing back into
config mode when we're running.

What if they were enabled before? (e.g. enabled by firmware, the bootloader or
kdump). If they're already enabled, can we race with the interrupt handler on
another CPU and get double reporting of the error counter?

When the time comes, could you post a dt-binding as the first patch? These add
the documentation under Documentation/device-tree/bindings, and need to be CC'd
to the DT folks.

I don't think the code needs to change, we just need to make it clear these are
the dram interrupts, and they are different numbers.
This means someone can add the ram interrupts later, and not have to
disambiguate them to keep your platform going.

(its this stuff that the binding document describes)

I only have the TRM too! The section titled 'RAS' on page 2-23 talks about 'link
error protection', so it might be relevant so someone. We don't care about this
now, but if someone does in the future, we will need to have a way of adding it
to the DT.

At a guess the interrupt triggers when link_err_count increases. (link_err has
an overflow bit, so the interrupt must be related to a counter).

If we could associate a link with a layer in edac, we could report errors
against that point. But I've no idea how 'links' correspond with 'ranks and banks'!

Its an assumption. Channel seems to be an overloaded term with different meanings.
Fortunately edac drivers get to pick what their layers mean. It looks like all
this controls is the names that come out of sysfs.

rank/bank are part of the address decoding, as we can read both sizes I think it
makes sense to use both as it should further localise the error.

I don't think we could if we wanted to. This thing has 'READY' and 'CONFIG'
modes, the scrubbing can only be written to in 'CONFIG' mode. I'm willing to bet
we need it to be in 'READY' to be executing the kernel from dram.


> Will change scrub_mode to HW.

Do we know its enabled? This is something firmware has to set up, someone else's
platform may do it differently.

I think should read one of the scrub control registers to find out if its turned on.

But, I can't find what uses this value ...

What about a previous instance of this driver? Linux supports kexec, kdump and
hibernate, all of which cause us to inherit a slightly used platform.

Ah, so you still have resident firmware!
How come your firmware trusts linux not to turn off the memory controller?!
These things are usually protected by trust zone so the OS can't pull the memory
from under firmware's feet.

James

Well, I have no clue what kind of links you guys are talking but if
those are per-chance coherent links used by cores to communicate in a
coherent fabric, or cores and devices, what would showing those errors
to the user bring ya?

Or are ya talking about different kinds of links?

In any case, the first question to ask would be, can some agent or the
user do something with the information that X or Y link errors happened?

If not, then why bother?

If yes, then that's a different story.

Is that some platform which people will use and run linux on and thus

devel-only toy thing?

Searching a bit doesn't tell me a whole lot except some enablement for

It will have (a lot of) use in prod, and is not just a toy :)

Right, they hardware we're working on is nothing more than reference

Looks like if scrub_mode is set to SCRUB_SW_SRC, the MC core will do arch specific sw scrub on the page with ce error. 
We can config the mode base on register settings.

Agreed. We shouldn't make assumption on the register value when driver starts.

We have firmware to config the memory controller and want to have an EDAC driver to report ECC status.
Could you please elaborate a bit on the security concern on this approach? Like some malicious app/driver can access
memory controller registers can cause issue? 

What's the recommend approach if Linux won't be able to access memory controller registers? Have firmware do the ECC 
status monitoring and some sort of driver to query ECC status from firmware?

Appreciate your insights on this.

Thanks,
Rui

(I mentioned this because its the next interrupt in the register, its an example
of something that may be added for another platform in the future, which affects
the DT and probing)


> Or are ya talking about different kinds of links?

... whatever the manual means by 'link', good point, it could be the
interconnect side.

'alert_mode_next', in the feature control register talks about DIMM training,
and says 'dfi_err' is treated a a link error. DFI is defined earlier as the 'DDR
PHY interface', so these must be links between the DMC520 and DDR.

I agree. Surely if the DIMMs are socketed link-errors are another reason to
replace the DIMM.

It looks like this doesn't matter on Rui's platform,

I'm remembering this:

This would be a problem if you need your Secure-world software needs to keep
working, and depends on the memory behind this controller.

It might be that your secure-world software only uses some other memory, in
which case this wouldn't matter.
It may be linux _is_ your secure-world software, in which case it wouldn't
matter either.

If Linux runs in the normal-world, can't you use trust-zone to prevent Linux
from accessing the memory controller?

If you did this, you'd need to handle the UE interrupts in firmware, and
wouldn't be able to use this driver in linux. Your platform hasn't gone this
way, so I guess one of the above cases applies.


Thanks,

James

We had internal discussion with our security team and in our product we do trust Linux. I'll send an updated patch to move platform specific settings like interrupt config to DT and include DT bindings doc for this driver.

Thanks,
