* [PATCH V3 6/7] arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_Debugv8p9 [not found] <20241216040831.2448257-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> @ 2024-12-16 4:08 ` Anshuman Khandual 2024-12-16 23:42 ` Rob Herring 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Anshuman Khandual @ 2024-12-16 4:08 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel Cc: Anshuman Khandual, Jonathan Corbet, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, James Morse, Suzuki K Poulose, Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Mark Brown, Mark Rutland, kvmarm, linux-doc Fine grained trap control for MDSELR_EL1 register needs to be configured in HDFGRTR2_EL2, and HDFGWTR2_EL2 registers when kernel enters at EL1, but EL2 is also present. This adds a new helper __init_el2_fgt2() initializing this new FEAT_FGT2 based fine grained registers. MDCR_EL2.EBWE needs to be enabled for additional (beyond 16) breakpoint and watchpoint exceptions when kernel enters at EL1, but EL2 is also present. This updates __init_el2_debug() as required for FEAT_Debugv8p9. While here, also update booting.rst with MDCR_EL3 and SCR_EL3 requirements.

That is what we do for FGT. I just realized I forgot to add FGT2 setup for the PMUv3.9 features I already added in 6.12 and 6.13. So this really needs to land sooner rather than later to add that.

AFAICT - HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2 registers configure traps into EL2 when accessed from EL1/EL0, provided all required EL3 trap controls are in place as well. These EL2 based trap configs need to be set before the kernel finally enters EL1. Although there is an assumption about EL3 based trap configs being in place, do we need to mention that in commit message as well. Is not updating booting.rst takes care of all EL3 requirements. > Though it is really "If EL3 set FGTEn2 and the kernel is entered in > EL2, then FGT2 must be initialized for MDSELR_EL1." > > If it was me, I'd just plagarize what was written for prior FGT > commits for this code. :) There are many commits that changed __init_el2_fgt() with different description formats.

Probably and there's a Jira for it. Though there was some debate about whether anything was needed before any users. But that's kind of a mute point anyway because I need it for PMU now, too. > Something like the commit > > commit 31c00d2aeaa2da89361f5b64a64ca831433be5fc > Author: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> > Date: Thu Apr 1 19:09:40 2021 +0100 > > arm64: Disable fine grained traps on boot > > The arm64 FEAT_FGT extension introduces a set of traps to EL2 for accesses > to small sets of registers and instructions from EL1 and EL0.

Yes, as it needs to not be held up by any of the debug issues Mark raised. Also, it may need to be back ported to 6.12. And for that we'd want the PMU parts, but not the Debug.

Hi Rob, I did go through all the five FEAT_FGT2 trap control registers and it seems like the following are the controls available for FEAT_PMUv3p9 based registers. Although PMZR_EL0 does not get used in kernel right now but still might be a good idea to include anyway. Please let me know, if I might have missed something else related to FEAT_PMUv3p9.

Maybe should reworded as > 'before/if the kernel drops to EL1' The EL2->EL1 downgrade is internal to the kernel. If we get it wrong, that's our fault, and there isn't anything to document. This document is about booting the kernel at any NS EL, so only the "external" requirements matter. But I don't think we should be prescriptive about the state of these registers, as long as the potential traps are correctly handled. For the above, I'd rather have something like: "The MDSELR_EL1 register must be freely accessible when the kernel is entered at EL1 and that higher ELs are present in the system." On its own, that should be enough. You can subsequently add: "This includes HDFGRTR2_EL2, HDFGWTR2_EL2 and MDCR_EL2 when EL2 is present, as well as MDCR_EL3 when EL3 is present". but that's paraphrasing the architecture, and is definitely incomplete (see the MDSELR_EL1 pseudocode for reference). > > > > Though it is really "If EL3 set FGTEn2 and the kernel is entered in > > > EL2, then FGT2 must be initialized for MDSELR_EL1." > > > > > > If it was me, I'd just plagarize what was written for prior FGT > > > commits for this code. :) > > > > There are many commits that changed __init_el2_fgt() with different description > > formats.

The rest of the document is written in terms of explicit register values, if we're changing approach we should probably update all the existing requirements to be written in the same way since having a mix of approaches tends to be a big red flag that there should be different handling. Consistency will make the document clearer and easier for people to work with. FWIW there is an explict note in the document about the fact that it's an as-if rule: | Where the values documented | disable traps it is permissible for these traps to be enabled so long as | those traps are handled transparently by higher exception levels as though | the values documented were set. from when I raised this before.
