[PATCH v2 00/12] nova-core: Complete GSP boot and begin RPC communication

[PATCH v2 00/12] nova-core: Complete GSP boot and begin RPC communication

[Joel Fernandes]

Hello!
These patches a refresh of the series adding support for final stages of the
GSP boot process where a sequencer which inteprets firmware instructions needs
to run to boot the GSP processor, followed by waiting for an INIT_DONE message
from the GSP.

The patches are based on Alex's github branch which have several prerequisites:
Repo: https://github.com/Gnurou/linux.git Branch: b4/gsp_boot

I also dropped several patches (mainly from John that have already been
applied).  Tested on Ampere GA102. We also need the "gpu: nova-core: Add
get_gsp_info() command" patch which I dropped since it needs to be reworked,
and it is not needed for GSP boot on Ampere (but John mentioned it is needed
for Blackwell so we could include it in the Blackwell series or I can try to
include it in this series if I'm respinning).

[PATCH v2 01/12] nova-core: falcon: Move waiting until halted to a helper

[Joel Fernandes]

Move the "waiting until halted" functionality into a helper so that we
can use it in the sequencer, which is a separate sequencer operation.

Not at all. This is the new normal, until rustfmt gets updated.
The idea is to avoid merge conflicts in "use" statements, by
having one item per line. The trailing ", //" is a hack that
forces the desired behavior.

As per Miguel Ojeda's note, here:

It's a bit confusing at first but this is to conform with the new rules
for imports. :)

We are trying to avoid that (direct reexports from the generated
bindings) - some explanations for how to abstract these follow.

This type should be wrapped in a transparent type similarly to e.g.
`GspArgumentsCached`: its internal structure hidden, and the needed
functionality made accessible through a constructor and (if needed)
other methods.

The opcodes can be exposed through a dedicated enum like `MsgFunction`.

These ones are a bit trickier to abstract. Since they ever only use
`bar` from the sequencer, I guess we can have their semantics in the
`fw` module, exposed through a method that receives the `bar`? That way
the sequencer won't have to access their members which are private to
it.

The sequencer does need access to the private fields, because the logic of what
to write to the bar should be in the sequencer, and that logic depends on the
fields.

Example:

impl GspSeqCmdRunner for fw::GSP_SEQ_BUF_PAYLOAD_REG_MODIFY {
    fn run(&self, sequencer: &GspSequencer<'_>) -> Result {
        let addr = self.addr as usize;
        if let Ok(temp) = sequencer.bar.try_read32(addr) {
            let _ = sequencer
                .bar
                .try_write32((temp & !self.mask) | self.val, addr);
        }
        Ok(())
    }
}

Here, the sequencer needs access to `.addr`, `.mask` and `.val` to craft the
address and the value to write.

I could expose access to those fields as functions, but I think we should not
move sequencer logic to fw.rs, that should live in the sequencer.

Or am I missing something? thanks,

 - Joel

Yeah although I floated the idea I have to admit I am not a big fan of
that either. So I guess we could have accessor functions for the fields,
so the `GspSeqCmdRunner` implementation stays in the sequencer?

It will at least provide the level of abstraction we require against the
firmware types' internal structure.

Yes, I will provide accessors for the fields for v4.

[PATCH v2 07/12] nova-core: Implement the GSP sequencer

[Joel Fernandes]

Implement the GSP sequencer which culminates in INIT_DONE message being
received from the GSP indicating that the GSP has successfully booted.

This is just initial sequencer support, the actual commands will be
added in the next patches.

Re: [PATCH v2 07/12] nova-core: Implement the GSP sequencer

[Alexandre Courbot]

Hi Joel,

I guess you will want to rebase the series on top of the GSP boot v9,
for fixing the conflicts with the imports, squash patch 13 where it
should belong, and also because it adds a few things that should
simplify this patch.

As a general comment, the structures and their members could benefit
from short doccomments (thankfully after this review there should be a
few less :)).

Instead of having this (which involves another dedicated match
statement), how about having the `new` method return the size in bytes
that are read, that the caller can add to its cursor?

`gsp_fw` seems to be only needed to obtain the bootloader app version -
let's store that information directly instead a reference to a whole
structure we don't need.

Since this is only used for logging purposes, we don't need a bound
device. This can be an `ARef<device::Device>`, which removes a
reference.

`opcode_size` looks superfluous as it is only used once.

Should probably be `EIO` as the data is not the expected size.

This looks a bit redundant: we are processing errors here, but then we
also have another error handler in the caller (the one that says "Error
running command..."). I'm pretty sure there is room for simplification
here.

You can do without this implementation by just having an `iter` method
returning the iterator where appropriate (in the current version this
would be `GspSequencer`, but I suggest moving that to the
`GspSequencerInfo/GspSequence`).

No, "Error running command" is because of .run() failure. We won't even get
there if .next() fails. AFAICS, there is no other diagnostic other than this if
command parsing fails.

Thanks.

If I do that, it becomes ugly on the caller side.

Caller side becomes:
for cmd_result in sequencer.seq_info.iter(&sequencer.dev) {
 ..
}

instead of the current:
for cmd_result in sequencer {
 ..
}

Does it work for you if I remove IntoIterator and just have GspSequencer::iter()
return the iterator?

Then the caller becomes:

for cmd_result in sequencer.iter() {
 ..
}

Although I think IntoIterator makes a lot of sense here too, and there are other
usages of it in rust kernel code. But the sequencer.iter() would work for me.

Thanks.

That's if you need `dev` for iteration. Since it is only used for
logging error messages, I'd suggest doing without it and returning a
distinct error code (or a dedicated error type that implements Display
or Debug and converts to the kernel's Error) that the caller can then
print, removing the need to pass `dev`.

I guess it's a matter of personal taste, but I tend to prefer `iter`
methods because they are more visible than an implementation on a
reference type, and also because they allow us to have different kinds of
iterators for the same type (not that this is useful here :)).

Ok, so I take it that you are ok with sequencer.iter() for the v4. The sequencer iterates through a collection of commands so that makes sense. But let me know if you are in disagreement about this.

Thanks.

[PATCH v2 08/12] nova-core: sequencer: Add register opcodes

[Joel Fernandes]

These opcodes are used for register write, modify, poll and store (save)
sequencer operations.

Hi Joel,

The RegRead, RegWrite, RegPoll prints generate over 400 lines
per GPU, into the logs. This is too much, especially now that
it's been working for a while.

I'm thinking let's delete these entirely. If we somehow get
into debugging this aspect of the sequencer, we can temporarily
add whatever printing we need, but I think it's one notch too
far for the final product, now that you have it working.


thanks,

Sure John, I am Ok with removing the prints. I will do so for the next spin.

Or, you could do what Nouveau does, and define two more printk levels below DBG specifically for
stuff like this:

#define nvdev_trace(d,f,a...) nvdev_printk((d), TRACE,   info, f, ##a)
#define nvdev_spam(d,f,a...)  nvdev_printk((d),  SPAM,    dbg, f, ##a)

ftrace/bpftrace, maybe those are the real way to "trace"...or something
other than this.

This works great for me:

modprobe nouveau dyndbg="+p" modeset=1 debug="gsp=spam" config=NvGspRm=1

I get all sequencer messages when I boot with these options.

You could say the same thing about most dev_dbg() statements.

I agree that dev_dbg for sequencer commands is excessive, and that implementing new debug levels
just to get sequencer prints is also excessive.  But Nouveau implement nvkm_trace for a reason.  And
we all know that because of ? in Rust, NovaCore does a terrible job at telling us where an error
actually occurred.  So there is a lot of room for improvement.

And so do I. What I meant by "unusable" is that there are so many
messages that they never really catch up (I'm throttling things
due to my use of console=ttyS0,115200: serial connection, haha).

Not for Nova, not so far. I'm trying to hold the line, so that our
dev_dbg() output is merely "almost excessive". I'm actually quite
pleased with things so far, and this last comment is merely a
tweak in order to keep things on track.

There is room to improve, but I don't think that Nouveau's logging
approach is exactly, precisely the way to go.

Let's keep thinking about it, longer term.

IMO, the best way to do this is the tracing subsystem. It is the lowest overhead
runtime kernel logging system that I know off, lockless, independent of the
serial console etc, next to no runtime overhead when off, etc.

I recommend we use the tracing subsystem for "trace" and even "spam" level
logging levels for Nova. The brave souls can always ask the tracing subsystem to
also spam to kernel logs if they so wish.

++ Tracing Czar Steven Rostedt as well. Steve, Nova is a new modern Nvidia GPU
driver.

I guess we have to decide how to do this - what kind of tracepoints do we need
for Nova. One use case that just came up is RPC message buffer dumps for
debugging communication with the firmware.

Not sure if there was a question here, but you can enable tracing via the
kernel command line and it will record into the ring buffer, and read it
out via /sys/kernel/tracing/trace. You could also create instances by the
kernel command line that will place events in different ring buffer
instances (/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/trace). You could even
filter the events based on the trace event fields, process ID, CPU, etc.

There's also a tp_printk kernel command line option that will turn every
trace event into a printk() statement. You need to be careful of what
events you enable when doing this, as some events (like locking events) can
live lock the system if they are piped to printk().

After boot up, you can turn off the tp_printk with:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk

Thanks Steve. The reason I also added you was also to keep me honest about tracing performance for logging that is noisy. 

The context is dev_dbg noise can have strong side effects that tracing will for sure circumvent.

I would keep dmesg printing only for info/error/warning with tracing for the noisy ones.

Maybe we should add a facility to dynamically turn all dev_dbg into tracing…

Thanks,

I agree. FWIW, it's worth noting that honestly avoiding logging is the way to
go for anything spammy. I've seen quite a number of heisenbugs that only
appear when trace logging isn't turned on in nouveau or vice-versa (igt tests
that fail because logging causes things to time out…).

+1 for tracing, when debugging we are typically interested in a very
small subset of the debug logs and the ability to only enable what is
needed is essential.

Though I am not sure about the current state of tracing support in
Rust...

I'd rather have these `unsafe` statements in the `fw` module - guess
that's all he more reason to add an abstraction layer there.

Per the other feedback I believe you are going to remove these `dev_dbg`
anyway, but since the opcodes derive a `Debug` implementation, you could
have just printed that from the caller for a similar result and no extra
code.

`let timeout_us = if self.timeout == 0 { 4_000_000 } else {
i64::from(self.timeout)`

(removes the `mut` on `timeout_us`)

This makes me wonder: do we need to store the deserialized version of
these operands, and make a second `match` on them? How about passing the
`bar` to the deserialization command and have it run the operand
immediately?

I don't think a match could be avoided here because of Rust enums (cannot call a
method on the inner object of an enum without matching it first). The first
match is to construct the enum by matching on the opcode, the second match is to
run it by matching on the enum type.

Sorry if I missed something about your suggestion but I suggest lets do that
kind of refactor after the initial merge, since this code has been working and
tested for some time.

In hindsight, I probably would have tried to not use enums and my feeling is we
can probably get rid of it eventually and do this kind of function delegation
more ergonomically.

Thanks.

`fsleep` is now available, using it would remove the `unsafe` statement.

[PATCH v2 12/12] gpu: nova-core: gsp: Wait for gsp initialization to complete

[Joel Fernandes]

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

This adds the GSP init done command to wait for GSP initialization
to complete. Once this command has been received the GSP is fully
operational and will respond properly to normal RPC commands.

I applied your patches on top of Alex's tree, and when I boot on a GA102 I get this:

Are you sure there are no other patches?  The RPC patches can't depend on INIT_DONE being the first
response.  Getting a NOCAT RPC first is not uncommon.

It works on my end. Do you have "the wait for init done" patch (the 12th patch?)
You can also boot my tree which has all the patches, i.e. this series + Alex's

As far as I can tell, my tree looks just like this one.  I've cloned your tree/tag and I'm building
it now, just to confirm.

[PATCH v2 13/12] nova-core: sequencer: Refactor run() to handle unknown messages

[Joel Fernandes]

Refactor GspSequencer::run() to follow the same pattern as gsp_init_done()
by wrapping message reception in a loop that ignores unknown messages
(ERANGE errors).

Suggested-by: Timur Tabi <ttabi@nvidia.com>
Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

Additional patch to cure probe issue on Timur's GA102 (which happens to receive
too many NOCAT records).

Can you squash this code into the appropriate patch when you respin the

I've looked at how `GspSequencere`, `GspSequencerParams` and
`GspSequencerInfo` interact after this patch, and I think we can
simplify the design a bit (based on the v9 of the GSP boot series).

`GspSequencerInfo` is actually the sequence (so we should name it
`GspSequence`?) we want to run. As such, it can be created by
implementing the `MessageFromGsp` trait, and received directly from
`boot.rs` by moving the loop at the beginning of `GspSequencer::run` to
`boot.rs`. This allows to remove the `cmdq` argument from the `run`
method, which looked a bit out of place.

In its place, we can pass the sequence to `run`. It doesn't need to be
stored in the `GspSequencer` struct, as we can just implement `Iterator`
on it and read its commands from `run` directly. Once you remove it from
`GspSequencer`, something interesting happens: `GspSequencer` and
`GspSequencerParams` are now exactly the same! So we can remove the
params, simply build the sequencer using a regular constructor, and call
`run` on it with the sequence.

[PATCH v3 00/14] nova-core: Complete GSP boot and begin RPC communication

[Joel Fernandes]

Hello!
These patches a refresh of the series adding support for final stages of the
GSP boot process where a sequencer which inteprets firmware instructions needs
to run to boot the GSP processor, followed by waiting for an INIT_DONE message
from the GSP and finally retrieving GPU information from the GSP.

The patches are based on Alex's github branch which have several prerequisites:
Repo: https://github.com/Gnurou/linux.git Branch: b4/gsp_boot

The entire tree (these patches + patches from Alex, Alistair, John) can be
found at the git repository:
git: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git
tag: nova-sequencer-init-done-v3

I also dropped several patches (mainly from John that have already been
applied).  Tested on my Ampere GA102 and I see in dmesg:
NovaCore 0000:00:07.0: GPU name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Added several tags.
- Fixed commit messages, style errors.
- Added GspStaticInfo patch.
- Fixed bug found by Timur in the sequencer code (related to ignoring messages).
- Removed excessive dev_dbg prints in sequencer code (John Hubbard).

[PATCH v3 01/14] gpu: nova-core: falcon: Move waiting until halted to a helper

[Joel Fernandes]

Move the "waiting until halted" functionality into a helper so that we
can use it in the sequencer, which is a separate sequencer operation.

Doesn't this still need to be abstracted out?

[PATCH v3 07/14] gpu: nova-core: Implement the GSP sequencer

[Joel Fernandes]

Implement the GSP sequencer which culminates in INIT_DONE message being
received from the GSP indicating that the GSP has successfully booted.

This is just initial sequencer support, the actual commands will be
added in the next patches.

Any way we could get a brief explanation in the docs here for what the
sequencer is?

Is this just because this is a TODO? If so, it might be better to use todo!()
or unimplemented!() for spots like this instead of returning an error.

I think just using .as_slice() would be clearer here

I am not finding examples of other usages of this in kernel code, looking at
their implementations, they call panic!. Are we Ok with using them in kernel
code, even temporarily?

Though I'd say, since this goes away in the next few commits, its Ok to leave as
is, if that works for you.

Ack, I changed to this.

We're papering over the error here, this should be (without the lower Ok(())):

sequencer.bar.try_write32(val, addr)

Any reason we don't just drop the _val and ? and return this directly?

[PATCH v3 11/14] gpu: nova-core: sequencer: Implement core resume operation

[Joel Fernandes]

Implement core resume operation. This is the last step of the sequencer
resulting in resume of the GSP and proceeding to INIT_DONE stage of GSP
boot.

[PATCH v3 12/14] gpu: nova-core: gsp: Wait for gsp initialization to complete

[Joel Fernandes]

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

This adds the GSP init done command to wait for GSP initialization
to complete. Once this command has been received the GSP is fully
operational and will respond properly to normal RPC commands.

[PATCH v3 13/14] gpu: nova-core: sequencer: Refactor run() to handle unknown messages

[Joel Fernandes]

Refactor GspSequencer::run() to follow the same pattern as gsp_init_done()
by wrapping message reception in a loop that ignores unknown messages
(ERANGE errors).

Re: [PATCH v3 13/14] gpu: nova-core: sequencer: Refactor run() to handle unknown messages

[Lyude Paul]

This still needs to be squashed into the patch series instead of being its own
change.

[PATCH v3 14/14] gpu: nova-core: gsp: Retrieve GSP static info to gather GPU information

[Joel Fernandes]

From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

After GSP initialization is complete, retrieve the static configuration
information from GSP-RM. This information includes GPU name, capabilities,
memory configuration, and other properties. On some GPU variants, it is
also required to do this for initialization to complete.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here so excuse me if I am. But if
CStr::from_bytes_with_nul is already scanning the string for a NULL byte, why
do we need to do iter().position(|&b| b == 0)?

It is because the .get() above could potentially return an entire buffer with
no-null termintaor, as unlikely as that might be. In this case the
`.unwrap_or(msg.gpuNameString.len() - 1),` bit will execute returning 63 as the
length of the buffer space is 64 bytes. `CStr::from_bytes_with_nul()` will then
separately look for the NULL and fail into returning "invalid" as the string.

So mainly, the redundant `.position()` call is it is to handle the failure case.

But you found some duplicated code here! Let me go ahead and just call this
function instead of open coding it.

Thanks.

Sorry clarifying my answer as I was referring to the other snippet. The real
reason is from_bytes_with_nul(bytes: &[u8]) requires the slice to be exactly the
length of the string plus one byte for NULL. You can't pass it a long slice and
have interior NULLs.

This is also mentioned here:

    /// The provided slice must be `NUL`-terminated, does not contain any
    /// interior `NUL` bytes.
    pub const fn from_bytes_with_nul(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<&Self..

It is possible that callers pass buffers with interior NULLs, these come from
the firmware. So str_from_null_terminated has to find the NULL position first.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks.

Another quick note: while preparing another patchset for posting,
I just noticed that the convention that Alex established for these
is:

    gpu: nova-core: <remainder of patch one-liner>

...since all of my tree is also old and using the "nova-core: "
prefix, too.

Oops! Sorry, I just realized this version of the series isn't V3, whoops.

Will go to V3 and re-review there :)
