From: Tze Yee Ng <tze.yee.ng@altera.com>

This series adds hardware monitor support for Altera SoC FPGA devices.
Temperature and voltage sensors are accessed through the Stratix 10
service layer and Secure Device Manager (SDM).

Patch 1 adds async HWMON SMC support to stratix10-svc and registers the
socfpga-hwmon platform device.

Patch 2 adds the socfpga-hwmon driver, documentation, Kconfig, and
MAINTAINERS entry.

Changes in v6:
- Rebase on torvalds/master (given “Linux 7.2-rc4”)
- No functional changes in Patch 1 and Patch 2

Changes in v5:
- Rebase on dinguyen/socfpga_svc_fixes_for_v7.2
- Address Sashiko review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
  - Poll async responses until HWMON_TIMEOUT instead of a fixed
    3-iteration retry loop (~3 ms), fixing premature timeouts on
    silicon
  - Add MODULE_ALIAS("platform:socfpga-hwmon")
- No functional changes in Patch 1

Changes in v4:
- Address maintainer and review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
  - Register devm_add_action_or_reset() before
    devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() to fix devres teardown order
  - Remove unreferenced completion and pre-poll
    wait_for_completion_io_timeout() from async reads; poll directly
    with a retry loop after async_send()
- No functional changes in Patch 1

Changes in v3:
- Address review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
  - Fix 16-bit Q8.8 temperature sign extension
  - Drop unused async callback; pass NULL to stratix10_svc_async_send()
  - Document and retain pre-poll wait (RSU pattern; firmware needs time
    before async_poll())
  - Align async poll retry behaviour with RSU
  - Use uninterruptible wait_for_completion_timeout() for sync reads
  - Handle -EINVAL and -EOPNOTSUPP when falling back to sync mode
  - Defer SVC channel cleanup via devm_add_action_or_reset()
- No functional changes in Patch 1

Changes in v2:
- Drop altr,stratix10-hwmon DT binding and intel,stratix10-svc hwmon
  child property
- Drop Stratix 10 SoCDK DTS hwmon node
- Register socfpga-hwmon from stratix10-svc (RSU-style)
- Replace DT channel parsing with hardcoded Stratix 10 and Agilex tables
- Rename driver/module to socfpga-hwmon 
  (CONFIG_SENSORS_ALTERA_SOCFPGA_HWMON)
- Add Agilex channel support
- Fix SDM value conversion (Q8.8 degrees Celsius and Q16 volts to hwmon
  millidegrees/millivolts)
- Improve sync-mode error handling via last_err

From: Tze Yee Ng <tze.yee.ng@altera.com>

Add asynchronous Stratix 10 service layer support for hardware monitor
temperature and voltage read commands in stratix10_svc_async_send() and
stratix10_svc_async_prepare_response().

Register a socfpga-hwmon platform device from the service layer driver
when hardware monitor support is enabled, similar to the RSU device.

Changes in v6:
- No functional changes from v5

Changes in v5:
- No functional changes from v4

Changes in v3:

Changes in v6:
- No functional changes from v5

Changes in v5:
- Poll async responses until HWMON_TIMEOUT (2 s) instead of a fixed
  3-iteration retry loop (~3 ms), fixing premature timeouts observed
  on silicon
- Add MODULE_ALIAS("platform:socfpga-hwmon")

Changes in v4:
- Register devm_add_action_or_reset() before
  devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(); drop manual channel cleanup
  on hwmon registration failure
- Remove unreferenced async completion and pre-poll
  wait_for_completion_io_timeout(); poll directly after async_send()
  with the existing retry loop

Changes in v3:
- Fix 16-bit signed Q8.8 temperature conversion (cast through s16)
- Remove unused async callback; pass NULL to stratix10_svc_async_send()
- Keep wait_for_completion_io_timeout() before polling with comment
  explaining the service layer never invokes the callback but firmware
  needs time to complete the transaction (RSU pattern)
- Align async poll loop with RSU (retry on failure instead of aborting)
- Use wait_for_completion_timeout() for synchronous reads
- Handle -EINVAL and -EOPNOTSUPP when async client registration fails
- Defer SVC channel/async cleanup via devm_add_action_or_reset();
  drop .remove()

Changes in v2:
- Drop altr,stratix10-hwmon OF compatible and DT channel parsing
- Select channels from hardcoded tables using parent SVC compatible
  (intel,stratix10-svc or intel,agilex-svc)
- Rename driver from stratix10-hwmon to socfpga-hwmon
- Rename Kconfig symbol to CONFIG_SENSORS_ALTERA_SOCFPGA_HWMON
- Add Agilex voltage and temperature channel tables
- Convert SDM Q8.8 degrees Celsius to hwmon millidegrees
- Convert SDM Q16 volts to hwmon millivolts
- Use socfpga_hwmon as hwmon sysfs device name
- Add last_err for synchronous SVC read error propagation
- Update Documentation/hwmon and MAINTAINERS accordingly

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Missing break in async poll loop causes severe kernel log spam and unnecessary blocking on hard errors.
- [High] Synchronous read timeouts leave stale requests in the channel FIFO, causing all subsequent reads to process stale data and return mismatched sensor values.

[Severity: High]
Does this loop need a break statement here when status < 0? 

If stratix10_svc_async_poll() returns a hard error, the code sets 
ret = -ETIMEDOUT but continues to loop for up to 2 seconds. This could
flood the kernel log with dev_alert() messages on every 1ms retry.

[Severity: High]
If a timeout occurs here, could the unfulfilled request remain in the
SVC channel's FIFO?

When the timeout hits, this path calls stratix10_svc_done() which stops the
worker thread, but it doesn't appear to remove the request from chan->svc_fifo.

Would the next sensor read enqueue a new request and receive the stale data
from this timed-out request, permanently desynchronizing all subsequent
sensor readings?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Medium] Hardware monitoring functionality is registered as a platform device rather than an auxiliary device, violating hwmon subsystem layering rules.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Asynchronous service layer APIs and resources are destroyed before client devices are unregistered, leading to a Use-After-Free and NULL pointer dereference race condition.

Author: Tze Yee Ng <tze.yee.ng@altera.com>

firmware: stratix10-svc: add async HWMON read commands and register socfpga-hwmon device

Add asynchronous Stratix 10 service layer support for hardware monitor
temperature and voltage read commands in stratix10_svc_async_send() and
stratix10_svc_async_prepare_response().

Register a socfpga-hwmon platform device from the service layer driver
when hardware monitor support is enabled, similar to the RSU device.

[Severity: Medium]
Should the hardware monitoring functionality be implemented as an auxiliary
device driver instead of a platform device?

The hardware monitoring subsystem guidelines state that when hardware
monitoring is a secondary function of a chip, it should be implemented as an
auxiliary device and reside in drivers/hwmon/.

Does registering socfpga-hwmon directly as a platform device from this
firmware service driver bypass the architectural layering rules for hwmon?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but can the destruction order in
stratix10_svc_drv_remove() lead to a NULL pointer dereference or a
use-after-free race condition?

When stratix10_svc_async_exit() is called, it destroys the async ID pool
and sets actrl->invoke_fn to NULL:

drivers/firmware/stratix10-svc.c:stratix10_svc_async_exit() {
    ...
    ida_destroy(&actrl->async_id_pool);
    actrl->invoke_fn = NULL;
    ...
}

However, the RSU client device is unregistered after this destruction step
via platform_device_unregister(svc->stratix10_svc_rsu).

If a user interacts with a client device's sysfs attribute while the module
is being unloaded, could the still-active client device invoke
stratix10_svc_async_send()?

If so, it would concurrently access freed asynchronous channels or attempt
to execute actrl->invoke_fn(actrl, &args, &res) after it has been locklessly
cleared, resulting in a kernel crash.

Would it be safer to unregister all child and client devices before the
resources they depend on are torn down?

It should be implemented as auxiliary driver, but feel free to ignore since
I only recently added this guidance to Sashiko.

Pre-existing, so your call if you want to fix it or not.

This also creates a lot of noise if debugging is active. I don't know
how long the command usually takes, but it does seem to me that this debug
message isn't really helpful.

Sashiko has a good point, especially since the function returns
-EINVAL which, if seen, seems to be  _real_ hard error and retrying
seems pointless. Also, why replace -EINVAL with -ETIMEDOUT ?
That would need an explanation.

On top of that, "ret = -ETIMEDOUT;" is pointless here since ret is
already set to -ETIMEDOUT.

Oh, and the called code already displays an error message unless
the parameters are bad.

I would suggest to use usleep_range().

Please either address or explain why it is not a problem.

Thanks. I'll keep the platform device registration for this series. I’m 
happy to look at converting socfpga-hwmon to an auxiliary device in a 
follow-up if preferred.

Agreed. In v7 I'll break out of the poll loop on hard errors, return the 
real poll error instead of -ETIMEDOUT, drop the redundant alert (SVC 
already logs) and remove the -EAGAIN debug print.

Agreed. In v7 I'll switch the short waits to usleep_range().

Yes, that race is real if the worker exits via kthread_should_stop() 
before dequeuing. stratix10_svc_done() stops the thread but does not 
flush svc_fifo.

For this driver I will invalidate an in-flight transfer generation after 
a timeout so a late/stale callback cannot complete the next read. A 
proper FIFO drain in stratix10_svc_done() would still be useful as a 
follow-up in the service layer.
