[PATCH 0/2] ARM: imx: change building of SSI FIQ support for i.MX processors

[Matt Sealey]

Patches to fix Thumb2 kernel building and change the dependency for SSI FIQ
support to a more specific option to prevent it from being needlessly built
in the first place on more frugal kernel configurations.

A better solution might be to rewrite the function in Thumb-compatible assembly
but the target processors do not support Thumb2 kernels anyway, and the last
time it was suggested the updated code was nacked by Russell. Since its built
as a side-effect on ARMv6/v7 i.MX processors, these could be considered somewhat
Needful Things(tm) by people wanting Thumb2 kernels based on imx_v6_v7_defconfig
or wanting to remove certain boards from their configs.

[PATCH 1/2] ARM: build ssi-fiq.S in ARM mode to prevent CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL build breakage

[Matt Sealey]

If i.MX SSI FIQ support is enabled then it is impossible to build a Thumb2
kernel image due to the code not being written with Thumb2 in mind (over-use
of registers). In order not to break Thumb2 kernels, compile this as ARM. All
the processors which require this support will run ARM code so there is no
problem at runtime in doing this, even if it does produce a strange mix of
code that may not be desired.

In theory this should only be needed on configs based on imx_v4_v5_defconfig
where CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL cannot be selected anyway since these SoCs do not
have ARM cores capable of running Thumb2 code. This also makes rewriting the
code as Thumb-compatible kind of redundant. But since one Eukrea board audio
driver needs it, and there is an i.MX51 CPU module for this board, it gets
pulled in for imx_v6_v7_defconfig too, making this a necessity.

I think it would be better to add a depends on !THUMB2_KERNEL to
SND_IMX_SOC_PCM_FIQ. The above may result in broken code in a thumb2
kernel, so I'd rather keep the compile error instead.

I'm curious as to how/why would it result in broken code? It's not
possible that the processors relying on
the imx_ssi_fiq_* stuff cannot run ARM code (unless Freescale shipped
a weird version) so it should
magically enter and exit. I wonder if it needs some thumb-interworking
stuff wrapped around it though.
You'd know better than me..

I'm a little worried that making it !CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL would
basically make more than
one of the boards in imx_v6_v7_defconfig suddenly lose audio support
for no other reason.. I don't
like things just disappearing from the kernel by dependency magic.
That said, a crash would be worse.

I guess the eukrea tlv320 audio support should also be split, or
looked at. This is the snippet that
confuses me the most;

config SND_SOC_EUKREA_TLV320
        tristate "Eukrea TLV320"
        depends on MACH_EUKREA_MBIMX27_BASEBOARD \
                || MACH_EUKREA_MBIMXSD25_BASEBOARD \
                || MACH_EUKREA_MBIMXSD35_BASEBOARD \
                || MACH_EUKREA_MBIMXSD51_BASEBOARD
        depends on I2C
        select SND_SOC_TLV320AIC23
        select SND_SOC_IMX_PCM_FIQ
        select SND_SOC_IMX_AUDMUX
        select SND_SOC_IMX_SSI
        help
          Enable I2S based access to the TLV320AIC23B codec attached
          to the SSI interface

.. Since you said I2S support doesn't require it, only AC97, this alone seems
redundant, but since I wasn't the one to write it, test it, have no
access to this
board I have no idea. Mark's assertion that it's just not required now DMA works
properly, could be true and this can be ditched, but I don't want to
patch something
I can't actually test.. my primary concern was fixing the build breakage.

If that gets fixed, then the only dependencies are the WM1131_EV1 board
which isn't in imx_v6_v7_defconfig, and the phyCORE support which needs it
for AC97. That's one of your customers, right? I wouldn't want to disable a
board, but I can justify to myself disabling the audio for *one* board based if
it's just a caveat of a Thumb2 kernel.

I'm going to do a trapse through and find where Russell nacked Dave's
thumb-aware
rewrite.. would you mind if you have any of these boards seeing if it
really DOES
cause broken code? The moment we noticed this was broken we quit designing
with AC97 codecs, so there's no Genesi board of similar pedigree
around that ever
got to a PCB..

Currently I don't know if the code compiled in arm mode on an otherwise
thumb2 kernel does work and I do not have a thumb2 capacle hardware with
sound support to test this.

Obviously no v6_v7 board does use this code as it is, because it does
not compile. So there's no risk of breaking something if we just disable
FIQ support in thumb2 mode.

Better disable an unused feature than add some untested code.

There was no NAK because I didn't get as far as posting the patch,
mostly because of the doubt about whether this code is ever relevant
on Thumb2-capable hardware.

If somebody with some old imx hardware that definitely relies on this
wants to pick it up and test it, it might still be useful.

I don't know whether I still have the original patch, but I think the
only think I did was to swap the roles of r13 and r12.  In the original
code r12 is only used as a base register, which is permissible usage
for r13 in Thumb-2.  Those two registers appear private to the fiq
handler, so I don't think the change will break anything, but I'd be
more confident is somebody is able to test it.

Cheers

It's not, but it does break the build, and without disabling phyCORE boards for
Thumb2 it will always break the build..

Well, I meant that I had not posted it as a stand-alone patch for
inclusion; I only posted it when commenting on other threads.

If you want me to push it, let me know.  I don't think this should get
merged without some Tested-bys for hardware where the FIQ stuff actually
gets used.

The older post would be the one to use, since that at least got a
reasonable level of build testing.

Please, then all the Tested-by's should flood in, right? :)

Do you have any suggestions for who I should CC to speed things up?

[PATCH 2/2] ARM: only build ssi-fiq.S et al if CONFIG_SND_IMX_SOC_PCM_FIQ is selected

[Matt Sealey]

Further to the previous patch, a custom configuration may be used based on the
imx_v6_v7_defconfig which removes the board depending on the audio driver pulling
this support code. However, since it is built dependent on CONFIG_SND_IMX_SOC
it is enabled in the build for all i.MX processors which enable any audio drivers.

Correct this by only building the SSI FIQ support code when the more specific
CONFIG_SND_IMX_SOC_PCM_FIQ is enabled. Since it's enabled in the imx_v6_v7_defconfig
anyway by the Eukrea board, nothing changes using the defconfig, so this is just
a convenience for people reconfiguring their kernels more sparsely than the default.

Since you are here already, better do:

obj-$(CONFIG_SND_IMX_SOC_PCM_FIQ) +) += ssi-fiq.o ssi-fiq-ksym.o
