[atull-yzvPICuk2ABMcg4IHK0kFoH6Mc4MB0Vx]

From: Alan Tull <atull-yzvPICuk2ABMcg4IHK0kFoH6Mc4MB0Vx@public.gmane.org>

Followup to bridge framework that was posted on 2013/10/3

This is a driver for enabling/disabling the fpga bridges under control
of a sys entry.  It has a common framework and individual drivers for
the various bridges.

This framework uses the reset driver where appropriate.

Yes, I will add:  'Write 0 has no effect.'

Definitely add it, then. The way it is written, I'd expect 0 to put
bridge into reset.

+Altera FPGA To SDRAM Bridge Driver
+
+This driver manages a bridge between an FPGA and the SDRAM used by an host
+processor system (HPS). The bridge contains a number read ports, write ports,
+and command ports.  Reconfiguring these ports requires that no SDRAM
+transactions occur during reconfiguration.  In other words, the code
+reconfiguring the ports cannot be run out of SDRAM nor can the FPGA access the
+SDRAM during the reconfiguration.  This driver does not support reconfiguring
+the ports.  Typcially, the ports are configured by code running out of onchip
+ram before Linux is started.
+
+This driver supports enabling and disabling of the configured ports all at
+once, which allows for safe reprogramming of the FPGA from user space, provided
+the new FPGA image uses the same port configuration. User space can enable or
+disable the bridge by writing a "1" or a "0", respectively, to its enable file
+under bridge's entry in /sys/class/fpga-bridge. Typically, one disables the
+bridges before reprogramming the FPGA.  Once the FPGA is reprogrammed, the
+bridges are reenabled.
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible       : "altr,socfpga-fpga2sdram-bridge"
+
+ - read-ports-mask  : Bits 0 to 3 corresponds read ports 0 to 3. A bit set to 1
+                      indicates the corresponding read port should be enabled.
+
+ - write-ports-mask : Bits 0 to 3 corresponds write ports 0 to 3. A bit set
+                      to 1 indicates the corresponding write port should be
+                      enabled.
+
+ - cmd-ports-mask   : Bits 0 to 5 correspond to command ports 0 to 5. A bit set
+                      to 1 indicates the corresponding command port should be
+                      enabled.
+
+ - altr,sdr-syscon  : phandle of the sdr module
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - label            : name that you want this bridge to show up as under
+                      /sys/class/fpga-bridge. Default is br<device#> if this is

NAK.

This is all linux specific and doesn't belong here.

L3 shouldn't be a syscon. Have you tried dumping the regmap in the debugfs if L3
is a syscon? Doesn't work.

The bridges are the buses into the FPGA. This has to be accomodated.
The bridges have two specified memory ranges: one the address space
of the bus, the second the register space for configuration.

This binding does NOT correctly describe the hardware. Sorry.

Steffen

We know. The DT spec hasn’t been updated for a while, and this is going to be
part of what we want to do with the restarting of the ePAPR spec process.

So absolutes like “DT is a hardware description only" might be too strong statements, that
do not work in practice anymore.

There’s no such thing as pure hardware devices lately - there is always a configuration
component; some of it OS specific, some of it not.

We have to be engaged in the process and figure out how to update the spec for what is
now the state of the art in the industry.

As we don't have a new spec yet, I go with the current state of the art.
And I don't see how "file under ... /sys/class/fpga-bridge" fits the
current spec.

If it really is necessary, I'm not against it, don't get me wrong.
But in the grand scheme I wouldn't say that this fits my experience.
There are some devices that need configuration and often when it is
done in the DT, it is just a shortcut or not thought through.
And can be also introspected dynamically. With some discussion on the
list these bindings often change.

Regarding OS specifics: already there, e.g. console setup in the chosen node.
And other things I saw are ethernet aliases just for u-boot. Not a problem

Just to fix a bad bootloader. barebox can handle this without any
such stuff. Maybe we should integrate the DT "overlays" barebox uses into
the in-kernel DTs as well...but does it really help/interest someone who
decides to use u-boot where barebox stores its environment? I guess not.

Again, not against that if it is necessary. For example your overlay stuff might
be a good update to the spec. Would be better if it is official instead of a "hack".
I want that for SoCFPGA.

But having looked at one or two vendor kernels+DTs, the state of the art in the
industry is: using DT wrong. (And doing HW wrong, which makes some updates to the
ePAPR necessary ;-))

Although I’m not against having DT overlays in the bootloader, I only see them
as a method that helps a platform developer express things easier. I am completely
against having the kernel tied to any particular bootloader.

We’ve all been through the hell where a kernel only boots if the bootloader has 
setup the platform “correctly”. This “correctly” has a very loose definition and
99/100 times is extremely badly documented or not at all.

IMHO the bootloader should (as part of the normal boot sequence) only setup the
absolutely bare minimum and then pass control to the kernel as soon as possible.

The full featured bootloader environment should only be presented when the user
requests so.

Totally agree. The kernel shouldn't be tied to any bootloader if at all possible
(the SoCFPGA is an especially bad example here again, as the pinmuxing can only
happen in the bootloader).
But should the DT include stuff than, that is only interesting for linux?

I’m not familiar with SoCFPGA. Why pinmuxing is only possible in the bootloader?
Can’t the bootloader configure the minimum pinmux config and then have Linux setup
the rest?

If we’re feeling particularly nasty, we might just require bootloaders to clean the
hardware state before passing control to Linux (besides memory controller setup) and
see what’s broken.

Like it or not it’s Linux that’s in the forefront of many hardware designs.

There are configuration settings in DT that are part of the way hardware is presented to
Linux and user-space, and have been for quite some time. We’ve been pretending they don’t
exist, but they are there…

We have a chance to try to get it right, so why not do so?

Okay, offtopic, but:

a) datasheet explicitely states that dynamic pinmuxing is not supported.
b) last time I checked, no documentation at all. You get some magic values spit
   out by Altera's tools.
c) you don't have registers. Pinmuxing is done via JTAG scan chain; which you
   feed the magic values.

Apart from that, it seems to be the most sane idea, to at least write your
driver in a way, that doesn't make any assumptions on HW state.
But I think this is already common practice in mainline.

As far as I know, a lot of that are older bindings, where more
things just got applied, because it wasn't clear where DT will go.

Hi,

I see that my documentation sucks and needs cleanup.  I'll try to

Right.  This stuff shouldn't be in this document.  While I was squashing
patches and cleaning up for posting on the mailing list, I added a sysfs
document and forgot to clean up my DT bindings documents.

L3 is actually a good candidate for syscon.  Lots of registers, each one
affects a different hardware block.

Is that a bug in regmap or is that because the register in L3 that
I am actully interested in here is write-only (ugh)?

That was a convience for the user.  I can take that out and won't miss it.

OK that was outdated.  More cleanup needed.  How about this type of
binding?  Here's an actual use case for something that has multiple
pieces of soft IP in the FPGA (sysid, gpio).  I eliminated a few.

The FPGA can be programmed by several different methods (eeprom, jtag,
preloader, Linux).  The guiding principle is: whoever programmed the
FPGA should release the bridge.  At one point, we thought 'init-val'
would be needed, but I think it can be taken out and we won't miss it.

That is not a bug in regmap. It is because you only have a register at 0x4008,
than one at 0x4104, that one at 0x5008, etc.... (values from memory, so might
be wrong)

Of course regmap tries to read from the whole register range if specified as
syscon. Which it can't.

So, that shouldn't be a problem though, as I already cooked up a driver for
the L3 with all the ranges specified. The only thing I need to figure out
before I will post it, is how to nicely handle the WO remap register.
I think regmap might be able to handle this itself, but am not sure yet.

Yes, something like this seems appropriate. Again, I also cooked up a driver
for this. I need to figure out why the GPV register writing sometimes doesn't
work as expected and will try to marry it to your FPGA manager framework
before I consider sending it to the list.

My proposed binding at the moment looks like:

Example:

	hps2fpga: axibridge@ff500000 {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		compatible = "altr,hps2fpga-axi-bridge";
		reg = <0xff500000 0x100000>,
		      <0xc0000000 0x3c000000>;
		clocks = <&l4_mp_clk>, <&l3_main_clk>;
		clock-names = "gpv_clk", "data_clk";
		resets = <&rst HPS2FPGA_RESET>;
		reset-names = "hps2fpga";
		altr,gpv-master = <&lwhps2fpga>;
		altr,l3-gpv = <&l3regs>;
		bus-width = <64>;
		status = "disabled";
		ranges;
	};

Board file example:

	&hps2fpga {
		bus-width = <32>;
		status = "okay";

		axi-ip: axi-ip@c0000000 {
			compatible = "axi-ip";
			reg = <0xc0000000 0x10000>;
			clocks = <&h2f_usr2_clk>;
			status = "okay";
		};
	};

So we seem to be almost on the same page. I first had the simple-bus in
there, too. But this will lead to all sorts of problems regarding driver
probing/removing on that bus.

Regards,
Steffen

It's supposed to be able to, not sure if anyone really tests that or not
though so it's possible bugs crept in.  Most write only registers can
physically be read so actually come out as volatile rather than write
only even if functionally there is no reason to read.

Ah, I think you might be actually right there. IIRC it IS possible to read
from that register, but you only get 0s.
So, I shot myself in the knee with specifying that register as write-only
in my driver.

Thanks,
Steffen

Yes, you can read and it will be all 0s.  So read-modify-write is not
something you would want to do for instance.

I think the problems we have had was that the bus had to be arch_initcall so
that it would be there before the drivers were.  Are there other problems
you are thinking of?  It would be good if we could get around that problem
as otherwise it will be a problem with the l3-nic not being early enough.

Actually make it

- label : optional user-readable name for this bridge

...and it is no longer Linux-specific, and you can keep it if it is
otherwise useful...

Great!  Thanks for the review.  In the future I'll keep my sysfs 
documentation separate from my DT bindings!

Isn’t init-val a boolean property? It’s not named very well.

Along with the label, is kinda hard to defend as configuration in DT.

We need to start thinking about configuration, so let me throw that in
and fan the Monday flames to a nice red-hot color.

/ {
	chosen {
		linux {
			fpga-bridge {
				node = <&FPGA_BRIDGE>;
				label = “foo”;
				enable-bridge-on-startup;
			}
		};
	};
};

We will need accessors for drivers that iterate over the chosen/linux node children
and pick up the properties meant for the given driver node.

We also need to define behaviour in case those configuration properties are absent. 

Let the flames begin…

It's not boolean, it's tristate - turn on, turn off or don't touch.

Yeah...  presumably this decision would fall out of the users?

I see. Even then ‘init-val’ is cryptic. I’d prefer two booleans,
enable-at-startup; disable-at-startup.

Well, it’s the user that should make the decision, but the driver should
pick it up. This works but it’s not very nice.

Hm, convince me why this AXI bus is so special, that I even need an
"init-val" property? Other buses don't have that.
Why don't I add a property "init-val" to my SPI buses, so I can enable
it in the DT and still have it in reset, just because....

The bridges on the SoCFPGA are buses, from the HPS to the FPGA. If I have
written firmware to the FPGA and I have subnodes on that bus, I have to
get it out of reset and probe everything. Normal procedure, no ?!

Well, it’s not my speciality, but my understanding is that FPGAs take (considerable)
time to be programmed. If someone has already configured the ‘bus’ it is considered
a win to not reload the bitstream. I.e. if you boot with the bootloader having loaded
the bitstream already, you don’t want to do it again.

I’m afraid there’s no such analogue with standard hardware busses like SPI, where
the bus setup time is instantaneous.

That's not what your property is saying, though - if it were just about
handover between the bootloader and the kernel that'd be one thing but
it's also got this additional possibility to instruct the kernel that
the device must be either disabled or explicitly programmed.  Having a
property that just says "this FPGA is programmed" covers the handover
case but this property does more than that.

It’s not my property. This is not my driver. The property is badly-named
as it is IMHO.

Why don’t we let Alan chime in?

Ah, okay. I see why you got confused.
The bridges are not in any way responsible for loading the FPGA nor will
resetting them reset the bitstream.

The FPGA Manager, a different IP core, is responsible for that. And AFAIK
it has a status bit, that tells you if the FPGA is programmed or not.
Loading the bitstream is in the order of milliseconds.

So from the bridges point of view, when you probe it, you can ask the
FPGA manager if is done, otherwise -EPROBE_DEFER and than go on and
probe the subdevices.


If you are bored, take a look at
http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_54004.pdf
page 7-2. There you can see the hardware setup.

Steffen

[PATCH v2 3/3] fpga bridge driver

[atull]

From: Alan Tull <atull@opensource.altera.com>

Support for bringing bridges out of reset.  Bridges show up in sysfs
under /sys/class/fpga-bridge and can be enabled/disabled from sysfs
or from the device tree.

Supports enabling the following hps/fpga bridges:
 * fpga2sdram
 * fpga2hps
 * hps2fpga
 * lwhps2fpga

Control from sysfs:
 Enable:
  $ echo 1 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/fpga2hps/enable

 Disable:
  $ echo 0 > /sys/class/fpga-bridge/fpga2hps/enable

 Check enable/disable status (checks for all bits set):
  $ cat /sys/class/fpga-bridge/fpga2hps/enable
  (will print '0' or '1')

Device tree has an optional property 'init-val'. This property
configures the driver to enable or disable the bridge when instantiated.
If the property does not exist, the driver will leave the bridge in
its current state.

Notes:

The L3 remap register is write-only (!) and reads zeros.  So
doing a 'read, modify, write' operation on that register will
clear the mpuzero bit that was set by u-boot.  So we keep
a cached copy of what we write to it.

The read, write, and command ports on the fpga2sdram bridge can
only be reconfigured if there are no transactions to the sdram
during the reconfiguration.  Currently, this guarantee can only
be made by code running out of onchip ram before Linux is started.
Therefore, this driver only supports enabling and disabling of the
ports that have already been configured.  Since the driver cannot
determine the port configuration in all cases, the device tree
must be populated with masks for all of the ports.

The fpga bridge framework needs be started before the individual
bridge drivers, and the individual bridge drivers need to be
started before any other driver for components on the FPGA.
The earliest the bridge drivers successfully start is during
arch_init().

Timing of reset? What if someone issues a disable/enable sequence
back to back?

Perhaps you need an explicit reset property, or you need to specify
that the expected behavior is for enable to settle before returning
to user-space.

If you arrange for the the code layout to be in a single span of
memory (and be relocatable) you might be able to support it while
Linux runs (under special conditions). In fact the sequence seems
quite similar to the way suspend/resume works.

You don’t need the enclosing parentheses; value == foo; works.

This is too long winded. Direct coding with a sequence of three property reads
is more compact and readable.

Do you really need to WARN_ON() here? You’re going to crash either way
a few lines below accessing members of data.
	if (!data) return -EINVAL;
And it’s better to put it before the atomic_inc_return.

What happens to the instances atomic counter on failure? In fact I don’t see
the point of it as it is. Do you need to test for a single fpga_bridge instance?

What happens when you have multiple fpgas? Won’t you need multiple bridges?
