[PATCH v7 0/8] clk: add support for v1 / v2 clock rate negotiation and kunit tests

[PATCH v7 0/8] clk: add support for v1 / v2 clock rate negotiation and kunit tests

[Brian Masney]

The Common Clock Framework is expected to keep a clock’s rate stable
after setting a new rate with:

    clk_set_rate(clk, NEW_RATE);

Clock consumers do not know about the clock hierarchy, sibling clocks,
or the type of clocks involved. However, several longstanding issues
affect how rate changes propagate through the clock tree when
CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT is involved, and the parent's clock rate is changed:

- A clock in some cases can unknowingly change a sibling clock's rate.

- No negotiation is done with the sibling clocks, so an inappropriate
  or less than ideal parent rate can be selected.

A selection of some real world examples of where this shows up is at
[1]. DRM needs to run at precise clock rates, and this issue shows up
there, however will also show up in other subsystems that require
precise clock rates, such as sound.

This series introduces kunit tests to illustrate the current behavior in
the clk core. As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2025 in Tokyo
[2], it was suggested to move the negotiation logic into the clk
providers themselves so that only the clks with this issue can have
their rate preserved, and add some common helpers to the clk core.

Changes since v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260313-clk-scaling-v6-0-ce89968c5247@redhat.com
- Move 24 MHz assertions at the end of
  clk_rate_change_sibling_div_div_test_init() into the top of the
  various divider tests to make it clear about the initial state of the
  clk tree in each of the tests to make it more readable. (Maxime)
- Move divider tests from clk_test.c into new file clk-divider_test.c
  (Maxime)
- Dropped clk_v2_rate_negotiation kernel parameter since it's no longer
  needed since the new code is very targeted to a specific part of a
  clk tree with this new approach. With the kernel parameter, we would
  have two code paths to check, and the unlikely path would get very
  little or no testing. This keeps it so that we have one path. (Maxime)
- Add Maxime's Reviewed-by on one patch. He added more Reviewed-bys on
  v6, however I didn't include them since I refactored some of those
  patches due to other changes requested.
- Drop test for clk rate of 0 in clk_hw_get_children_lcm(). Add
  clk_hw_is_enabled() check instead.
- Export clk_dummy_rate_ops and clk_dummy_context() from clk_test.c to
  avoid code duplication in the clk-divider tests.
- Simplify test names (s/sibling_div_div/divider/)

Changes since v5:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260306-clk-scaling-v5-0-d21b84ee6f27@redhat.com
- Dropped all of the helpers, and complexity to the clk core. To solve
  this problem, we don't need to chain rate requests together.
- Add more unit tests
- Convert clk-divider.c so that there's a real user of this new API.
- This series no longer has the problem where large numbers of boards are
  moved over at once to the new v2 negotiation logic.

Changes since v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/20250923-clk-tests-docs-v4-0-9205cb3d3cba@redhat.com/
- Reworked based on feedback at Linux Plumbers [2] as described in two
  paragraphs above.
- Dropped gate and mux tests.

Changes since v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250812-clk-tests-docs-v3-0-054aed58dcd3@redhat.com
- Update clk_core struct members (Maxime)
- Add v2 rate negotiation logic and additional kunit tests
- Drop clk_dummy_rate_mhz() in kunit tests; use HZ_PER_MHZ

[PATCH v7 1/8] clk: test: export clk_dummy_rate_ops and clk_dummy_context() for other tests

[Brian Masney]

Expose clk_dummy_rate_ops and clk_dummy_context() so that they can be
used for other clk kunit tests. These will be used for the clk-divider
tests.

This export will be used by the upcoming clk-divider test suite. For
consistency with clk-fixed-rate_test.c and drivers/clk/clk-gate_test.c,
the divider tests will be setup as it's own separate kernel module.

[PATCH v7 2/8] clk: divider: introduce divider kunit tests

[Brian Masney]

Introduce some kunit tests for the generic clk-divider.c implementation.
This test suite demonstrates the current behavior of how a clock can
unknowingly change the rate of it's siblings. Some boards are
unknowingly dependent on this behavior, and per discussions at the
2025 Linux Plumbers Conference in Tokyo, we can't break the existing
behavior. So let's add kunit tests with the current behavior so that we
can be made aware if that functionality changes in the future.

The tests in this commit use the following simplified clk tree with
the initial state:

                     parent
                     24 MHz
                    /      \
              child1        child2
              24 MHz        24 MHz

child1 and child2 both divider-only clocks that have CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT
set, and the parent is capable of achieving any rate.

For consistency with clk-fixed-rate_test.c and
drivers/clk/clk-gate_test.c, the divider tests are setup as it's own
separate kernel module.

[PATCH v7 3/8] clk: introduce new helper clk_hw_get_children_lcm() to calculate LCM of all child rates

[Brian Masney]

Introduce a new helper that recursively walks through all children and
their descendants, calculating the lowest common multiple (LCM) of their
rates. For the requesting child, it uses the requested rate; for other
enabled children, it uses their current rate. This is useful for
determining what parent rate can satisfy all children through simple
integer dividers.

[PATCH v7 4/8] clk: divider: test: introduce additional test case for parent rate change

[Brian Masney]

Add a test case where the parent clk rate is changed to a rate that's
acceptable to both children, however the sibling clk rate is affected.

The tests in this commit use the following simplified clk tree with
the initial state:

                     parent
                     24 MHz
                    /      \
              child1        child2
              24 MHz        24 MHz

child1 and child2 both divider-only clocks that have CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT
set, and the parent is capable of achieving any rate.

child1 requests 32 MHz, and the tree should end up with the state:

                     parent
                     96 MHz
                    /      \
              child1        child2
              32 MHz        24 MHz

However, child2 ends up with it's parent rate due to the way the clk
core currently handles rate changes.

                     parent
                     96 MHz
                    /      \
              child1        child2
              32 MHz        96 MHz
                            ^^^^^^
                            Incorrect. Should be 24 MHz.

Let's document this behavior with a kunit test since some boards are
unknowingly dependent on this behavior.

[PATCH v7 5/8] clk: introduce new flag CLK_V2_RATE_NEGOTIATION for sensitive clocks

[Brian Masney]

As demonstrated by the kunit tests, clk_calc_subtree() in the clk core
can overwrite a sibling clk with the parent rate. Clocks that are used
for some subsystems like DRM and sound are particularly sensitive to
this issue.

I consider this to be a logic bug in the clk subsystem, however this
functionality has existed since the clk core was introduced with
commit b2476490ef11 ("clk: introduce the common clock framework"),
and some boards are unknowingly dependent on this behavior.

Let's add support for a v2 rate negotiation logic that addresses the
logic error. Clks can opt into this new behavior by adding the flag
CLK_V2_RATE_NEGOTIATION.

[PATCH v7 6/8] clk: divider: enable optional support for v2 rate negotiation

[Brian Masney]

If the v2 rate negotiation logic is enabled in this portion of the clk
subtree, then use the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of all of the child
rates to determine what the parent rate should be. Make this change
for clk_divider_bestdiv (used by clk_divider_determine_rate), and
divider_ro_determine_rate.

Note that the v2 rate negotiation logic is disabled by default, unless
a clk in this portion of the subtree has the flag
CLK_V2_RATE_NEGOTIATION.

This change was tested on a Thinkpad x13s laptop. Some clks used
this new code, however this needs to be tested on more real systems.

[PATCH v7 7/8] clk: divider: test: introduce additional test case showing v2 rate change + LCM parent

[Brian Masney]

Add a test case that uses the clk divider with the v2 rate negotiation
logic, plus the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) to calculate the optimal
parent rate. The test ensures that the parent clk rate is set to a rate
that's acceptable to both children, and the sibling clock is not
affected.

The test in this commit use the following simplified clk tree with
the initial state:

                     parent
                     24 MHz
                    /      \
              child1        child2
              24 MHz        24 MHz

child1 and child2 both divider-only clocks that have CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT
set, and the parent is capable of achieving any rate.

child1 requests 32 MHz, and the tree ends up with the correct state:

[PATCH v7 8/8] clk: divider: test: mark some tests as supporting only v1 negotiation

[Brian Masney]

Mark the tests that only support v1 negotiation to make it clear exactly
which behavior is under test.
