[PATCH v2 00/19] gpu: nova-core: register!() macro improvements

[PATCH v2 00/19] gpu: nova-core: register!() macro improvements

[Alexandre Courbot]

This patch series introduces a number of improvements to nova-core's
register!() macro in order to make it more useful to Nova itself, and to
bring it closer to graduation into the wider kernel crate.

The first half is trivial fixes and code reorganization to let the
following patches apply more cleanly.

The interesting stuff begins with the introduction of proper `Debug` and
`Default` implementations leveraging the field information that is made
available by the first half of the patchset. `Debug` now displays the
interpreted values of all the fields on top of the hexadecimal
representation of the register; and `Default` now initializes all the
fields to their declared default value instead of just zeroes.

Then goes a complete redesign of the way relative registers work. The
previous way was very unsafe as it accepted any literal value as the
base. Now, valid bases can (and must) be explicitly defined for specific
group of relative registers. All these bases are belong to us, and thus
can be validated at build-time.

Next come arrays of registers, a useful feature to represent contiguous
groups of registers that are interpreted identically. For these we have
both build-time and runtime checked accessors. We immediately make use
of them to clean up the FUSE registers code, which was a bit unsightly
due to the lack of this feature.

Finally, combining the two features: arrays of relative registers, which
we don't really need at the moment, but will become needed for GSP
booting.

There are still features that need to be implemented before this macro
can be considered ready for other drivers:

- Make I/O accessors optional,
- Support other sizes than `u32`,
- Allow visibility control for registers and individual fields,
- Convert the range syntax to inclusive slices instead of NVIDIA's
  OpenRM format,
- ... and proper suitability assessment by other driver contributors.

These should be trivial compared to the work that is done in this
series.

[PATCH v2 01/19] gpu: nova-core: register: minor grammar and spelling fixes

[Alexandre Courbot]

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

There is only one top-level macro in this file at the moment, but the
"macros.rs" file name allows for more. Change the wording so that it
will remain valid even if additional macros are added to the file.

Fix a couple of spelling errors and grammatical errors, and break up a
run-on sentence, for clarity.

I would have kept this line as-is. Users will most likely know the name of the
macro already. At this point, they will be looking for what it does, so
mentioning "register" here is a bit redundant IMHO.

+cc Steven Price,

Sorry for hijacking this patch, but I think that we should be more flexible and
allow for non-literal offsets in the macro.

In Tyr, for example, some of the offsets need to be computed at runtime, i.e.:

+pub(crate) struct AsRegister(usize);
+
+impl AsRegister {
+    fn new(as_nr: usize, offset: usize) -> Result<Self> {
+        if as_nr >= 32 {
+            Err(EINVAL)
+        } else {
+            Ok(AsRegister(mmu_as(as_nr) + offset))
+        }
+    }

Or:

+pub(crate) struct Doorbell(usize);
+
+impl Doorbell {
+    pub(crate) fn new(doorbell_id: usize) -> Self {
+        Doorbell(0x80000 + (doorbell_id * 0x10000))
+    }

I don't think this will work with the current macro, JFYI.

Yes, but my real purpose was to allow *other* macros to be added to this
file, because its name ("macros.rs") implies that that may happen. So
referring to "the macro" would, at that point, be confusing, because 
there would be more than one.

So the wording is slightly forward-looking.

I seem to recall that Alex may have something cooked up, for that.

IIUC from the comments on the next patches, your need is covered with
the relative and array registers definitions, is that correct?

My Rust is somewhat shaky, but I believe "non-contiguous register 
arrays" will do what we want. Although I'll admit it would be neater for 
the likes of the AS registers if there was a way to define a "block" of 
registers and then use an array of blocks. Something vaguely like this 
(excuse the poor Rust):

register_block!(MMU_AS_CONTROL @ 0x2400[16 ; 64], "MMU Address Space registers" {
	register!(TRANSTAB @ 0x0000, "Translation table base address" {

In particular that would allow a try_() call to access the 'block' 
followed by normal read()/write() calls for the members in the block.

My Rust is certainly not good enough for me to try prototyping this
yet though!

I can think of two ways to achieve something similar using the current
patchset:

- As you mentioned, a set of non-contiguous register arrays. This should
  work rather well, as you could just do
  `MMU_AS_CONTROL_MEMATTR::read(bar, 4)` to read the `MMU_AS_CONTROL_MEMATTR`
  register of the 5th instance, with compile-time bound validation. It's
  not what register arrays are for originally, but it does the job.

- As a set of relative offset registers sharing the same group. This is
  more in line with the idea of a register block, but it also means that
  each instance needs to have its own type declared, which is a bit
  cumbersome but can be mitigated with a macro. More inconvenient if the
  fact that you cannot address using a simple number anymore...

The idea of register blocks is interesting. I wonder how that would
translate in terms of access to invididual registers, i.e. does the
block end up just being a prefix into the full register name, or is it
something else? From your example declaration I picture that accesses
would look something like `MMU_AS_CONTROL[4]::MEMATTR::read(bar)`, which
ngl looks great, but I also cannot think of a construct that would allow
such a syntax... Happy to think more about it though.

Sadly we generally don't want a compile time index - the whole point is
that each address space is functionally the same, so the index (address
space ID) is going to be dynamic in the code. The disadvantage here is
that every register access will involve a bounds check - the compiler
might be able to optimise but the code will still have to deal with a
potential error from every access.

Yeah this does sound cumbersome. Would you end up with a macro
duplicating the code 16 times (once for each type of the 16 register
blocks) and hoping the compiler can optimise it all back together?

Yes, that is the sort of syntax I was imagining, although I was hoping
you could do something like:

  let as = MMU_AS_CONTROL[as_id]::try_get(&bar)?;

  let memattr = as.MEMATTR.read(&bar);
  memattr.set_attr0(3).write(&bar);
  as.TRANSTAB.write(&bar, 0x1000);

Which I'm sure shows how little Rust I've written, but hopefully you get
the idea - only the first line is a try_xxx which can fail and takes the
address space ID from a variable and bounds checks it. The other
accesses we already know the bounds so there's no need to deal with
failure, and we don't have to consider the situation where MEMATTR is
written but the TRANSTAB write fails (which couldn't actually happen
with non-contiguous register arrays but the compiler wouldn't be able to
tell).

[And of course having written the above I realise that MEMATTR being
split up as separate named fields is also broken - we want to generate
it by looping over the fields.]

If you can somehow constrain the index to the range that is declared for
the register (by checking the bounds beforehand), then the compiler
should be able to work with the non-try accessors. Actually that's what
[1] does: `ucode_idx` is checked for being in the
`1..=NV_FUSE_OPT_FPF_SIZE` range, which allows us to use the
compile-time validated `read` method.

Yeah, this relying on the type system I don't expect the compiler to be
able to optimize this away, so that's probably not the best idea for
your use-case.

That for sure looks elegant. Now the question is how can we implement
something similar using only ZSTs? `MMU_AS_CONTROL` would have to be a
static array. Then `as` needs to be some sort of struct?

The way this works looks very similar to what I suggested above with
register arrays and validating once that a given index is valid for the
register array accesses. Then the non-try accessors can be used, knowing
that the compiler will be able to infer that the index is valid. The
only drawback being that each `read` and `write` will have to carry the
`as_id`.

This would work, but if someone wants to experiment to try and implement
something closer to the interface you proposed, I'm very open to the
idea. I wonder if we could do this without any runtime overhead...

I don't understand what this means. :)

Ah, cool. If the Rust compiler is clever enough to track the bounds like
that then as you say it shouldn't be a problem. I'd been under the
impression that the ::read() method wouldn't be available because the
index could be out of range. I really need to find some time to learn
more Rust ;)

Presumably it should be possible to implement with 'as' being a type
which actually contains 'as_id' (as opposed to an actual ZST) so you
don't need to explicitly pass that in. Otherwise there's a possibility
of passing the wrong as_id in and so the compiler won't be able to infer
that it must be valid.

Since my Rust knowledge is very limited there might be a better way of
doing this, but that this seemed like the most natural interface to me.
I can see how a similar approach could be used in C with minimal/no
overhead so I would have thought this is possible in Rust.

Sorry, I was just realising that when I wrote the above example of the
Mali registers I started writing out the MEMATTR register as:

 	register!(MEMATTR @ 0x0008, "Memory attributes" {
 		7:0	attr0 as u8;
 		7:0	attr1 as u8;

There's two big mistakes there:

 * attr1 has the wrong bit numbers (copy/paste error)

 * It's not actually useful to name the fields attr0, attr1, attr2 etc.
   They should either be an array (attr[n]), or just define it as a u32
   and build the value manually (as the current C code does).

Clearly whoever ends up writing the definitions for Mali needs to put a
bit more thought in than I did for this example ;)

Thanks,
Steve

It's obvious up to driver and Nova folks, but I feel this commit better
folded into another patch or we make the title a bit more clear, say:

gpu: nova-core: register: add the missing space in register!()

Otherwise my fear is we're going to end up with a few "fix typo" commits
in the future.

Anyway

Yeah, I was really on the fence about just slipping that one under
another patch, but unfortunately I could not find any that touched that
particular line. Agreed the title could be better though.

[PATCH v2 03/19] gpu: nova-core: register: allow fields named `offset`

[Alexandre Courbot]

`offset` is a common field name, yet using it triggers a build error due
to the conflict between the uppercased field constant (which becomes
`OFFSET` in this case) containing the bitrange of the field, and the
`OFFSET` constant constaining the offset of the register.

Fix this by adding `_RANGE` the field's range constant to avoid the
name collision.

[PATCH v2 04/19] gpu: nova-core: register: improve documentation for basic registers

[Alexandre Courbot]

Reword parts of the documentation that were a bit heavy to read, and
harmonize/fix the examples.

The relative registers section is about to be redesigned and its
documentation rewritten, so do not touch this part.

[PATCH v2 06/19] gpu: nova-core: register: remove `try_` accessors for relative registers

[Alexandre Courbot]

Relative registers are always accessed using a literal base, meaning
their validity can always be checked at compile-time. Thus remove the
`try_` accessors that have no purpose.

The OFFSET const is an I/O property, and having to pass it to the
@common rule makes it impossible to make I/O optional, as we want to get
to eventually.

Thus, move OFFSET to the I/O impl block so it is not needed by the
@common rule anymore.

Minor suggestion, have you ever though about somehow making this a const
generic? This saves the space needed to store the actual constant in the
binary.

Again, not sure whether this is feasible.

A const generic would require a trait to hold it, and would make that
trait implementable several times for the same register, so I'm not
quite sure how that would work...

Besides, we want `OFFSET` to be available for external users to read (in
case they need the register's actual address for whatever reason), and I
don't think this is doable with a const generic.

[PATCH v2 10/19] gpu: nova-core: register: add fields dispatcher internal rule

[Alexandre Courbot]

Fields are complex and cumbersome to match in a rule, and were only
captured in order to generate the field accessors. However, there are
other places (like the `Debug` and `Default` implementations) where we
would benefit from having access to at least some of the field
information, but refrained from doing so because it would have meant
matching the whole fields in a rule more complex than we need.

Introduce a new `@fields_dispatcher` internal rule that captures all the
field information and passes it to `@field_accessors`. It does not
provide any functional change in itself, but allows us to reuse the
captured field information partially to provide better `Debug` and
`Default` implementations in following patches.

[PATCH v2 11/19] gpu: nova-core: register: improve `Debug` implementation

[Alexandre Courbot]

Now that we have an internal rule to dispatch field information where
needed, use it to generate a better `Debug` implementation where the raw
hexadecimal value of the register is displayed, as well as the `Debug`
values of its individual fields.

[PATCH v2 12/19] gpu: nova-core: register: generate correct `Default` implementation

[Alexandre Courbot]

The `Default` implementation of a register should be the aggregate of
the default values of all its fields, and not simply be zeroed.

[PATCH v2 13/19] gpu: nova-core: register: split @io rule into fixed and relative versions

[Alexandre Courbot]

We used the same @io rule with different patterns to define both the
fixed and relative I/O accessors. This can be confusing as the matching
rules are very similar.

Since all call sites know which version they want to call, split @io
into @io_fixed and @io_relative to remove any ambiguity.

[PATCH v2 15/19] gpu: nova-core: register: redesign relative registers

[Alexandre Courbot]

The relative registers are currently very unsafe to use: callers can
specify any constant as the base address for access, meaning they can
effectively interpret any I/O address as any relative register.

Ideally, valid base addresses for a family of registers should be
explicitly defined in the code, and could only be used with the relevant
registers

This patch changes the relative register declaration into this:

    register!(REGISTER_NAME @ BaseTrait[offset] ...

Where `BaseTrait` is the name of a ZST used as a parameter of the
`RegisterBase<>` trait to define a trait unique to a class of register.
This specialized trait is then implemented for every type that provides
a valid base address, enabling said types to be passed as the base
address provider for the register's I/O accessor methods.

This design thus makes it impossible to pass an unexpected base address
to a relative register, and, since the valid bases are all known at
compile-time, also guarantees that all I/O accesses are done within the
valid bounds of the I/O range.

I think it would be helpful to showcase a before/after in the commit message. IIUC, we'd go from:

/// Putting a `+` before the address of the register makes it relative to a base: the `read` and
/// `write` methods take a `base` argument that is added to the specified address before access:
///
/// ```no_run
/// register!(CPU_CTL @ +0x0000010, "CPU core control" {
///    0:0     start as bool, "Start the CPU core";
/// });


To:

/// ```no_run
/// // Type used to identify the base.
/// pub(crate) struct CpuCtlBase;
///
/// // ZST describing `CPU0`.
/// struct Cpu0;
/// impl RegisterBase<CpuCtlBase> for Cpu0 {
///     const BASE: usize = 0x100;
/// }
/// // Singleton of `CPU0` used to identify it.
/// const CPU0: Cpu0 = Cpu0;
///
/// // ZST describing `CPU1`.
/// struct Cpu1;
/// impl RegisterBase<CpuCtlBase> for Cpu1 {
///     const BASE: usize = 0x200;
/// }
/// // Singleton of `CPU1` used to identify it.
/// const CPU1: Cpu1 = Cpu1;

So you can still pass whatever base you want, the difference (in this
particular aspect) is whether it's specified in the macro itself, or as an
associated constant of RegisterBase<Foo>?

In any case, have you considered what happens when the number of "CPUs" in your
example grows larger? I can only speak for Tyr, where (IIUC), I'd have to
define 16 structs, each representing a single AS region, i.e.:

+pub(crate) const MMU_BASE: usize = 0x2400;
+pub(crate) const MMU_AS_SHIFT: usize = 6;
+
+const fn mmu_as(as_nr: usize) -> usize {
+ MMU_BASE + (as_nr << MMU_AS_SHIFT)
+
+pub(crate) struct AsRegister(usize);
+
+impl AsRegister {
+    fn new(as_nr: usize, offset: usize) -> Result<Self> {
+        if as_nr >= 32 {
+            Err(EINVAL)
+        } else {
+            Ok(AsRegister(mmu_as(as_nr) + offset))
+        }
+    }

It's still somewhat manageable, but I wonder if there are usecases out there
(in other drivers/devices) where this number will be even higher, which will
make this pattern impossible to implement.

Or maybe I misunderstood the usecase?

In any case, the patch itself looks fine to me.

The difference between the two designs is that with the former one, the
code reading the register could pass any base it wanted (any number!),
whereas with the new one that base must come from an explicitly-defined
type (which implementation is controlled by the party defining the
register), which reduces the risk of typos and mixups. The type system
ensures that you cannot e.g. pass the base of a GPU to a CPU for
instance, whereas the previous approach had no such protection.

If the range separating each instance is the same fixed number, then
this sounds like a good chance to use a register array with a stride of
`(1 << MMU_AS_SHIFT)`. But I suspect you figured that out. :)

[PATCH v2 16/19] gpu: nova-core: falcon: add distinct base address for PFALCON2

[Alexandre Courbot]

Falcon engines have two distinct register bases: `PFALCON` and
`PFALCON2`. So far we assumed that `PFALCON2` was located at `PFALCON +
0x1000` because that is the case of most engines, but there are
exceptions (NVDEC uses `0x1c00`).

Fix this shortcoming by leveraging the redesigned relative registers
definitions to assign a distinct `PFalcon2Base` base address to each
falcon engine.

This approach means that the reference manual values such as these, end
up being scattered throughout the code base, as magic numbers.

I'm thinking that there should be no problem with using a symbol from
the manuals, listed in a common area, instead, right?

Correct, there should be nothing preventing us from doing that if we
think it is a better way to organize these (which I agree it probably
is).

[PATCH v2 17/19] gpu: nova-core: register: add support for register arrays

[Alexandre Courbot]

Having registers that can be interpreted identically in a contiguous I/O
area (or at least, following a given stride) is a common way to organize
registers, and is used by NVIDIA hardware. Thus, add a way to simply and
safely declare such a layout using the register!() macro.

Build-time bound-checking is effective for array accesses performed with
a constant. For cases where the index cannot be known at compile time,
`try_` variants of the accessors are also made available that return
`EINVAL` if the access is out-of-bounds.

this macros get to support non-u32 types (which is apparently on the roadmap
IIUC).

For the stuff in macros.rs <http://macros.rs/>.

I did not check the device-specific part in Nova, as I’m not familiar with
how it works.

There are many `u32`s sprinkled across that code, it would be a bit
tedious to have a TODO for each of them. And when we start making them
generic the code won't compile unless they are all replaced anyway, so I
think we are safe. :)

Because once you index a register (which the alias does), you obtain
what is effectively a fixed-address register, so these are the correct
I/O accessors here.

[PATCH v2 18/19] gpu: nova-core: falcon: use register arrays for FUSE registers

[Alexandre Courbot]

FUSE registers are an array of 16 consecutive registers. Use the
newly available register array feature to define them properly and
improve the code using them.

[PATCH v2 19/19] gpu: nova-core: register: add support for relative array registers

[Alexandre Courbot]

Add support for declaring arrays of registers available from a variable
base. This is effectively a combination of the relative and array
registers features.

nova-core does not make much use of this yet, but it will become helpful
to have for GSP boot.
