This patch set adds basic support for pre-booting GSP-RM
on Turing.
There is also partial support for GA100, but it's currently not
fully implemented. GA100 is considered experimental in Nouveau,
and so it hasn't been tested with NovaCore either.
That latest linux-firmware.git is required because it contains the
Generic Bootloader image that has not yet been propogated to
distros.
Summary of changes:
1. Introduce non-secure IMEM support. For GA102 and later, only secure IMEM
is used.
2. Because of non-secure IMEM, Turing booter firmware images need some of
the headers parsed differently for stuff like the load target address.
3. Add support the tu10x firmware signature section in the ELF image.
4. Add several new registers used only on Turing.
5. Some functions that were considered generic Falcon operations are
actually different on Turing vs GA102+, so they are moved to the HAL.
6. The FRTS FWSEC firmware in VBIOS uses a different version of the
descriptor header.
7. I don't know why this isn't necessary on GA102+, but GSP-RM
LIBOS args struct needs to have its 'size' field aligned to 4KB.
8. Turing Falcons do not support DMA, so PIO is used to copy images
into IMEM/DMEM.
Changes from v1:
1. Replaced pointer/length with slice in PIO code.
2. Added RFC patch to implement trait object FalconUCodeDescriptor .
3. Added comments to new registers, structs, and other places.
4. Fixed all CLIPPY complaints.
5. Added supports_dma() method for Falcon HAL
6. Renamed ImemSec and ImemNs to ImemSecure and ImemNonSecure
7. Several other miscellaneous fixes based on review comments.

Rename FalconMem::Imem to ImemSecure to indicate that it references
Secure Instruction Memory. This change has no functional impact.
On Falcon cores, pages in instruction memory can be tagged as Secure
or Non-Secure. For GA102 and later, only Secure is used, which is why
FalconMem::Imem seems appropriate. However, Turing firmware images
can also contain non-secure sections, and so FalconMem needs to support
that. By renaming Imem to ImemSec now, future patches for Turing support
will be simpler.
Nouveau uses the term "IMEM" to refer both to the Instruction Memory
block on Falcon cores as well as to the images of secure firmware
uploaded to part of IMEM. OpenRM uses the terms "ImemSec" and "ImemNs"
instead, and uses "IMEM" just to refer to the physical memory device.
Renaming these terms allows us to align with OpenRM, avoid confusion
between IMEM and ImemSec, and makes future patches simpler.

The GSP booter firmware in Turing and GA100 includes a third memory
section called ImemNonSecure, which is non-secure IMEM. This section
must be loaded separately from DMEM and secure IMEM, but only if it
actually exists.

The Turing/GA100 version of Booter is slightly different from the
GA102+ version. The headers are the same, but different fields of
the headers are used to identify the IMEM section. In addition,
there is an NMEM section on Turing/GA100.

Add the basic HAL for recognizing Turing GPUs. This isn't enough
to support booting GSP-RM on Turing, but it's a start.
Note that GA100, which boots using the same method as Turing, is not
supported yet.

Some GPUs do not support using DMA to transfer code/data from system
memory to Falcon memory, and instead must use programmed I/O (PIO).
Add a function to the Falcon HAL to indicate whether a given GPU's
Falcons support DMA for this purpose.

To: Danilo Krummrich, Alexandre Courbot, Lyude Paul, Joel Fernandes,
John Hubbard, nouveau, rust-for-linux
The FRTS firmware in Turing and GA100 VBIOS has an older header
format (v2 instead of v3). To support both v2 and v3 at runtime,
add the FalconUCodeDescV2 struct, and update code that references
the FalconUCodeDescV3 directly with a FalconUCodeDesc enum that
encapsulates both.

Turing and GA100 use programmed I/O (PIO) instead of DMA to upload
firmware images into Falcon memory.
A new firmware called the Generic Bootloader (as opposed to the
GSP Bootloader) is used to upload FWSEC.

Implement the trait object FalconUCodeDescriptor to handle the two
versions of the Falcon microcode descriptor.
Introduce the FalconUCodeDescriptor trait to provide a unified interface
for accessing fields in both V2 and V3 Falcon microcode descriptor formats.
This replaces repetitive match statements in each accessor method with a
single as_descriptor() method that returns a trait object, reducing boilerplate
and making it easier to add new accessors in the future.
However, not all match states can be eliminated. The FalconLoadParams
implementation still needs to match on the version because different fields
of the descriptor are used depending on the version.

From an initial skim read of the patches, this is looking pretty clean.
I'll try to do a full review in the next day or two

Being able to see the differences between v2 and v3 in just 20 lines
of code is surprisingly helpful. I like this much more than I expected
to like it. :)

Overall, I'm really preferring this end result. The differences
between v2 and v3 are concisely encapsulated, and the remaining
code is clear and less error prone.

If img.size is not a multiple of 4 bytes, this can panic right?
Even if it is unlikely, unwrap() is quite frowned up due to possibility of
panic. I'd recommend something like the following since the function cannot
return an error:
let w = if let Ok(bytes) = word.try_into() {
u32::from_le_bytes(bytes)
} else {
// can print a warning here too if needed.
let mut buf = [0u8; 4];
buf[..word.len()].copy_from_slice(word);
u32::from_le_bytes(buf)
};
Btw, I wish we could encode the slice length constraint in the slice type itself
(i.e., the slice length ought to be a certain multiple). But I think there's no
way to do that without introducing a new type.
Thanks.

Same unwrap() is here too.

I think so. I just noticed that I used chunks(4) here and chunks_exact(4) in the Dmem loop below.
I need to make it consistent.
chunks(4) will return &[u8; 3] if the buffer is shy one byte. chunks_exact(4) will simply skip the
last 3 bytes.
The problem is that it is an error for these images to not be a multiple of 4. Such an image is
just not valid.
So it's a lot simpler to just reject these misaligned images. The previous version of this function
did return a Result, maybe I should put that back. It just seems wasteful to test for misalignment
on every pass of the loop.
What we really need is for from_le_bytes() to be less picky about the slice size. If I give it
&[u8; 3], then it should be able to handle that.

Wouldn't it be simpler to use chunks_exact() and then remainder()? That way, we wouldn't need a
test inside the loop?

Wouldn't it be a run-time constraint anyway? With the exception of the BootloaderDmemDescV2 write,
all of the calls to pio_wr_bytes() have lengths only known at runtime.

Yeah, but I guess whether to pad with zero's or error out when the slice is not
a multiple of 4 is questionable.

I am not sure but I think rust code is expected to not panic and handle
situations gracefully even in the face of runtime constraints being violated,
you could argue that the image length being violated is UB but I don't think
that'd be enough to justify the unwrap(). But perhaps someone from the rust core
team can chime in about that because I also have that question. Can a "FW image
corruption" type of scenarios be considered something that safe rust code not
need to worry about since it falls under the UB umbrella (similar to memory
corruption)?
Thanks.

Rust for Linux avoids .unwrap() for similar reasons that we prefer WARN*()
over BUG*() these days, on the C side: avoid killing the machine if at
all possible. Because it changes a routine bug into a harder-to-work-with
bug.

Agreed. This situation should return an -EINVAL Result, approximately.
In fact, I just finished looking through my Hopper/Blackwell PIO code, which
also needs 4-byte alignment, and concluded that returning -EINVAL for misaligned
data seems to be the appropriate way to handle things.

I'm not the core Rust team, but I will chime in anyway: misaligned or
corrupted firmware should not *directly* cause a panic. We should detect
and error out.

I've added this for v3:
// Rejecting misaligned images here allows us to avoid checking
// inside the loops.
if img.len() % 4 != 0 {
return Err(EINVAL);
}
And I manually create the &[u8; 4] now:
for word in block.chunks_exact(4) {
let w = [word[0], word[1], word[2], word[3]];
regs::NV_PFALCON_FALCON_IMEMD::default()
.set_data(u32::from_le_bytes(w))
.write(bar, &E::ID, port);
word[3] will always exist because of chunks_exact(4).

Looks good.

Yes, this is probably the best way. Although...

Interesting, I was just looking at this, and the 4-byte manual
construction bothered me a little ("why must I do this?"), so I'm
currently wondering if "// PANIC..." plus an "infallible" .unwrap()
is reasonable, for example:
impl Falcon<Fsp> {
...
pub(crate) fn write_emem(&self, bar: &Bar0, offset: u32, data: &[u8]) -> Result {
if offset % 4 != 0 || data.len() % 4 != 0 {
return Err(EINVAL);
}
...
for chunk in data.chunks_exact(4) {
// PANIC: `chunks_exact(4)` guarantees each chunk is exactly 4 bytes.
let word = u32::from_le_bytes(chunk.try_into().unwrap());
regs::NV_PFALCON_FALCON_EMEM_DATA::default()
.set_data(word)
.write(bar, &Fsp::ID);
}
...but actually, I think your way is better, because you don't have
just justify an .unwrap().
What do you think?
I figured you'd enjoy this, coming as it does just one email after I
wrote "never .unwrap()". haha :)
thanks,

I agree. Avoiding unwrap(), even with a comment, is always a good idea.

I think your code is effectively identical to mine, except that I don't need the PANIC comment. I
suspect that in both cases, the compiler cannot tell that each chunk is always 4 bytes and
try_into() will never panic. In my case, word[3] always exists and will never panic either. So I'm
guess that the compiler will still emit code to check for panic. I don't know.

Yes. I'm changing my code over to the non-unwrap approach now. That
really is clearly better.

Good question. Maybe someone with Rust experience can enlighten us on
that one.

If the optimizer could not eliminate the dead code, IMO that is a bug, pretty much like how we rely on dead code elimination optimization for build_assert.
It is worth compiling and checking but I am almost certain the dead code for an unreachable case (in this case, panicking, will be eliminated).
Thanks.

Well yes, but the question remains: is the compiler able to even identify
this as dead code? Because it depends on the early -EINVAL return, in
order to be correct. Is rustc able to figure out that kind of situation?
