[PATCH 1/4] arm64: dts: fix PMU IRQ ordering for Juno

[PATCH 1/4] arm64: dts: fix PMU IRQ ordering for Juno

[Will Deacon]

For better or worse, perf expects the per-cpu SPI PMU interrupts to be
listed in order of logical CPU. This patch fixes the Juno .dts to
satisfy that requirement.

Without this patch, I see unhandled IRQs in mainline:

  irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
  CPU: 3 PID: 2830 Comm: cc1 Not tainted 3.19.0-rc6+ #1
  Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT)

  [...]

  handlers:
  [<ffffffc00009447c>] armv8pmu_handle_irq
  Disabling IRQ #9

Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
---

This is an immediate fix for mainline, with the remaining patches in the
series solving this by extending the binding.

[PATCH 2/4] arm64: pmu: add support for interrupt-affinity property

[Will Deacon]

Historically, the PMU devicetree bindings have expected SPIs to be
listed in order of *logical* CPU number. This is problematic for
bootloaders, especially when the boot CPU (logical ID 0) isn't listed
first in the devicetree.

This patch adds a new optional property, interrupt-affinity, to the
PMU node which allows the interrupt affinity to be described using
a list of phandled to CPU nodes, with each entry in the list
corresponding to the SPI at the same index in the interrupts property.

This covers the case we care about today, but it's problematic in cases
where the number of interrupts is not equal to the number of CPUs affine
to that interrupt. For example:

* PPIs in big.LITTLE systems, where we may need a node per cluster, and
  will need a way of associating a PMU node with a subset of all CPUs,
  despite having only one interrupt.

* Muxed SPIs per-cluster (is this likely to happen?)

The former can be covered by allowing multiple entries in
interrupt-affintiy for PPIs. I'm not sure if the latter is something we
need to cater for. If we do, then perhaps we need an interruptN-affinity
property per interrupt (though that's ugly and painful to deal with).

It would be nice to have a solution now that's not radically different
to what needs to come next.

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, that sounds like a sensible extension in the future if we have to
support such a platform.

I'm not keen to handle this, so I'd rather defer it to whoever ends up
building it. Trying to design for every possibility is usually impossible
in my experience and you just end up carrying something that isn't useful.

I suspected that would be the case. Just thought I should raise it as a
potential problem.

[PATCH 3/4] ARM: pmu: add support for interrupt-affinity property

[Will Deacon]

Historically, the PMU devicetree bindings have expected SPIs to be
listed in order of *logical* CPU number. This is problematic for
bootloaders, especially when the boot CPU (logical ID 0) isn't listed
first in the devicetree.

This patch adds a new optional property, interrupt-affinity, to the
PMU node which allows the interrupt affinity to be described using
a list of phandled to CPU nodes, with each entry in the list
corresponding to the SPI at the same index in the interrupts property.

I am very much not keen on this. While this may get things working
today, it completely relies on Linux-internal details (the order of CPU
bringup, which in this case is different from the order of entries in
/cpus).

In all other dts that I am aware of, the order of entries in /cpus
aligns with the order of interrupts in the PMU node, and the first entry
is the boot CPU.

I think that we should ensure that the ordering of CPU nodes matches the
order of interrupts here. That way we can fall back to that ordering (if
not explicitly overridden), and even after an arbitrary logical
renumbering (e.g. after a kexec) the relationship should stay intact.

This DT has clearly never worked (nor been tested), and I think having
this as an intermediary step only adds to the long term support burden
by having the juno dts arbitrarily different to all other dts files (by
relying on a logical order that's different to the /cpus order).

Longer term we must ensure we have a more explicit ordering, as with
your later patches.

Thanks,
Mark.

There are a few problems with reordering the CPU nodes:

  (1) It breaks any existing users of taskset to pin on big/little
      clusters.

  (2) It's not generally possible if, for example, the bootloader decides
      to boot Linux on a different CPU then we have no choice but to
      change the PMU interrupt order.

  (3) I didn't think that the ordering of CPU nodes was guaranteed to be
      preserved by dtc, whereas the order of the interrupts will be.

Agreed. This is intended as something simpler for -stable.

This is unfortunate, but this is also the case if the boot CPU is
different.

In that case _this_ patch is broken.

If we associate the interrupt with a CPU by node order, the relationship
is preserved regardless of which CPU is the boot CPU (whether it was the
bootloader's choice, kexec, or whatever).

The order of nodes is presently preserved.

Right, so don't change the boot CPU. In that vain, we also shouldn't change
the CPU order in the .dts -- the current .dts is working for taskset and
we shouldn't break people's scripts just because they want to use the PMU.

Why? I'm not denying that changing the boot CPU causes problems, I'm saying
that you *can't* fix that by changing the CPU node order. You still have
to change the interrupt order in that case, so why not just localise the
changes there in the first place?

Sure, and that requires code changes. If we're going to change the code,
then I'd much rather we make the binding explicit, like I did in the
follow-up patches to this one. As I mentioned before, this is a .dts fix
to get things working with the current code. It's really too late to argue
about the existing binding, even if it sucks.

It's not about the present behaviour; I need a _guarantee_ that dtc/libfdt
will *never* reorder CPU nodes. Today's working .dts file needs to continue
to work with future tools.

It's not about the present behaviour; I need a _guarantee_ that dtc/libfdt
will *never* reorder CPU nodes. Today's working .dts file needs to continue

I think this is an orthogonal discussion. If Linux is booted on a
different CPU, it's not the fault of Linux that CPU0 is different.

If we're going to try to maintain support for these DTs long-term (with
kexec and whatever logical renumbering can occur there), then we need a
consistent invariant that we can rely on to associate interrupts and
CPUs correctly.

The Linux logical ordering is not invariant, so we know that this _will_
break.

As far as I am aware, every other DT lists the boot CPU first, and the
order of entries in /cpus mathes the logical order. Using the order of
entries in /cpus will remain consistent in the face of arbitrary
renumbering, and is (currently) consistent with logical numbering.

So keeping the CPU nodes and interrupt entries in the same order
provides us with a long-term consistent order, regardless of which CPU
is the boot CPU.

This DT is currently broken. If we're going to make it work we should do
so in a manner that will continue to work. Anything else is a broken
bodge that hurts us in the long-term as we'll have to hack around it.

Sure, the binding sucks.

This DT has also _never_ worked.

If we're going to fix things, let's not introduce a middle step that's
broken in a different way.

As a general rule, neither dtc nor libfdt will re-order any nodes
unless you explicitly ask them to (e.g. dtc's "-s" option).  That
said, you should try not to rely on dt order.

Hi guys,

As you explicitly solicited my opinion, I will tell you what I think.

First, I agree with David: DTC and libfdt are not gratuitously
re-ordering the nodes within the tree.  But nothing should rely
on that behaviour either.  It is a tree, and the children of a
particular node are unordered.  There *are* manipulation primitives
that can cause a restructuring of the tree, and DTS consumers should
be prepared to accomodate that.

Second, that Linux assumes an ordering on nodes from the tree is
really unfortunate.  I think we should try to remoce any such
dependency or accomodate a more relaxed DTB read.

Finally, remember that the DTS is supposed describe the hardware.
The hardware doesn't (*usually*) require an ordering on its
components.  In a true SMP, it is S -- symmetric -- and shouldn't
rely on one Core being more first than another.  That one is treated
as a special entity is entirely a SW description.  As such, it
really shouldn't be represented as some tacit or hidden fact within
the DTS.

I agree. Will's later patch will do this by describing the relationship
between interrupts and CPUs explciitly:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-January/319899.html

I completely agree with this, which is why I'm opposed to relyiong on
the order Linux probes CPUs (as this has no guaranteed relationship with
the DTB).

While relying on the order of CPU nodes is not something I want to do,
it's at least contained within the DTB and has some chance of
functioning when Linux aribtrarily renumbers CPUs.

Does that make sense?
