[PATCH 0/5] Add EDL reboot and warm reset support for QRB2210

[PATCH 0/5] Add EDL reboot and warm reset support for QRB2210

[Loic Poulain]

This patch series adds support for Emergency Download (EDL) reboot mode
via the qcom-scm interface, allowing the platform to enter a recovery
mode through the primary bootloader. Additionally, since this 'mode'
requires warm reset and platforms like the QRB2210-RB1 lacks PSCI
warm reset support, a fallback mechanism using the PMIC is introduced.

The series includes:
- Documentation updates for new DT bindings.
- SCM firmware support for EDL reboot.
- PMIC warm reset support in the qcom-pon driver.
- Device tree updates for the QRB2210-RB1 platform.

Tested on QRB2210-RB1.

[PATCH 2/5] power: reset: qcom-pon: Add support for WARM reset

[Loic Poulain]

This mechanism can be used when firmware lacks proper warm-reset handling,
for example, when the PSCI SYSTEM_RESET2 function is not implemented.
It enables the warm reset functionality via the PMIC.

This fallback is only enabled if qcom,warm-reset property is present.

platform into Emergency Download Mode (EDL). This mode is implemented
by the primary ROM bootloader and provides a recovery mechanism.

[PATCH 5/5] arm64: dts: qcom: qrb2210-rb1: Add support for EDL reboot

[Loic Poulain]

EDL reboot mode can be configured via qcom-scm, enabling the platform
to enter Emergency Download Mode for recovery purposes. Additionally,
we enable PMIC-driven warm reset as the RB1 platform's PSCI interface
lacks support for warm reset.

"such as"? Do we have any other useful bits in here?

I'd only ever expect mode-edl = <1>. Do we have additional modes that
warrant the generic nature of this?

Why are these a part of the board DT file rather than the SoC DT? I'd
assume that at least dload-mode is generic to all devices.

I think it would be sufficient with a dev_err() here. You're loosing the
ability to set the "edl" bit but you don't break the whole system - e.g.
in the event that you're making a typo in your mode definition.


Other than that, I think this looks good.

They go in the PON_SOFT_RB_SPARE register, in the pon driver. But that
apparently doesn't tickle the EDL bit.

But it's a good question, I'd like for it to be answered in one of the
commit messages.

There’s no strong reason, it’s firmware-dependent (ROM/XBL). But
indeed, this behavior appears to be common across all QCM2290-based
boards as far as I know. I’ll address it in version 2.

Going back to msm8974 where the SPMI arbiter first showed up, these
values are all seemingly valid, so I think we can drop the dt property.
The restart reasons are set in stone too, and you can find more of them
in the register description.

That said, we're circumventing PS_HOLD this way - is that intended?

And do we need to take any special care where there's more than one
PMIC onboard to make sure that the SoC gets properly reset?

You described the desired Linux feature or behavior, not the actual
hardware. The bindings are about the latter, so instead you need to
rephrase the property and its description to match actual hardware
capabilities/features/configuration etc.

Yes, but this should only apply when the platform firmware does not
support warm reset via PSCI, right?
Making it unconditional would override the PSCI implementation even
when warm reset is supported.

The point is that psci_sys_reset() executes a cold reset if warm
reset isn’t available. Therefore, our PMIC reboot notifier must have a
higher priority than the PSCI handler.

So maybe the alternative could be to introduce an additional reboot
handler in psci, with the lowest priority, so that warm reset can have
a chance to run either from the psci main reboot handler or from the
PMIC reboot handler before falling back to cold reset?
[PSCI-handler]->[other-handlers]->[PSCI-cold-reset-fallback-handler]

Well, we don’t have direct control over PS_HOLD since it’s managed by
the firmware in our case. That’s why I considered using the PMIC
software reset as an effective way to achieve this warm reset.

Good point, this likely only matters if the other PMIC reboot handler
performs the same type of reset and their actions overlap.
In that case, I may need to remove the mdelay from this handler.
Additionally, if we adopt the PSCI change discussed above, the system
will fall back to a cold reset when a PMIC-based reset isn’t possible.

I could argue that this property is meant to describe hardware support
for warm reset, but since all platforms support it, it effectively
becomes a way to configure behavior rather than indicate hardware
capability.

I’ll try to discuss and find an alternative approach that avoids
introducing this extra property.

This seems like a common enough problem, perhaps the framework could
accept EOPNOTSUPP or similar and try to delegate further, coming back
with a normal restart or so, if unsupported. Trying to make a special
contract between qcom-pon and psci silently will be very fragile
otherwise.

Hm, so is there no longer a way to assert it by writing to PMIC
registers?

I think there used to be some logic in the older days where Linux would
manually go over all PMICs with a PON and send a reset to them. Maybe
that's too old for this platform though.

 I heard we may have different EDL modes supported like USB or SD

We may extend this to mode-ramdump if it makes sense, but as of now
it's indeed only edl, will fix it.

Would adding ramdump here be a matter of:

?

If so, please add it too

Not in its current form, I’ll need to slightly adjust the qcom,scm
driver mask for the reboot mode and also prevent the dload inhibit
during reboot. I can include these changes in v2 if that would be
helpful.

I tested the following, as described above:
https://github.com/loicpoulain/linux/commit/5c34ea54e1a21ff1192c3c341877b24eff5f80b4
The only special 'contract' is the handler priority.
If you can elaborate on another/better approach, that would be helpful.

PS_HOLD is a SoC signal, and we can maybe assert it via the
MPM_PS_HOLD register through the msm-poweroff driver if needed (well,
if access is allowed from a non-secure world).
However, this would also require coordination with the PMIC driver to
select the correct PS_HOLD action (shutdown, cold reset, warm reset).
For that reason, I’d prefer to keep PS_HOLD based logic abstracted by PSCI.
Using the SW_RST PMIC register allows us to perform a reset without
additional signal handling.

Let's do it incrementally, as changing the scope usually ends up

Thinking about it again, it'd be difficult to grab some sort of a handle
to the ""parent"" reboot mode, so what you propose here is good

Yeah of course we should use PSCI where functional and available

I think PS_HOLD used to be fully manual on old (msm-3.10) platforms
through PMIC registers. I see that e.g. msm-4.19 has an SCM call to
(de)assert it. There's also a "halt PMIC arbiter" call.

Yes I could try the SCM call to deassert PS_HOLD, is it something we
should prefer over PMIC soft reset?
Asking because the implication would be a more complex solution
(though not yet tested):
- Adding reboot mode support in qcom-scm to activate ELD mode
- Adding reset-notifier in pmic driver to modify PS_HOLD action to warm-reset
- Adding reset-notifier in qcom,scm (of lower priority than PMIC)
doing the actual SCM ps-hold deassert
- Ensuring that PSCI is still used for cold-reset and warm-reset when
supported...

My answer is unfortunately "I don't know". We should loop in some
PMIC folks that would know the difference

But what does that mean? "Hey computer, perform a graceful shutdown and

I.. guess?

Perhaps it could be useful for registering a panic handler to reboot
into ramdump in case that's not enabled by deafult (but is that
possible with our fw?)

That should be covered the other way around today, if the user asks for
ramdumps to be collected then we set that up at boot, which we then
clear on a clean shutdown.

So, that should cover the panic() case as well - although I've not
figured out how to load the ramdump in crash, so it's been a long while
since I had reason to test this myself.

I think I’ll start with a simpler patch to add support for qcom,scm reboot-mode.
Then, we can discuss the PMIC changes. I’ll also check whether it
might be easier to fix the PSCI or EFI reboot implementation on the
firmware/U-Boot side so that warm reset is handled correctly.
