Hi,

I'm looking for input on the following patches; they're based upon the
OFW patch that's currently in the x86-tip tree[0], and they've only been
compile tested (on x86 and sparc64).  This stuff takes the sparc
device tree creation code and makes it available for multiple
architectures, which OLPC then makes use of to build the tree.
There's still a bunch of little stuff that I need to fix (and of
course, I need to verify that it actually remains compatible w/ the
old promfs code that OLPC's been using[1]).

The arguments passed to OFW shouldn't be modified; update the 'args'
argument of olpc_ofw to reflect this.  This saves us some later
casting away of consts.

Hi Andres,

The patch itself looks fine, but there are currently two methods for
extracting the device tree from open firmware; one in arch/powerpc
using the flattened format, and one in arch/sparc.  I don't want to
end up maintaining both methods in drivers/of, and there has also some
discussions on moving the powerpc version into common code.  I've been
thinking about using the powerpc approach to support ARM platforms
using both the flat tree and real OFW.

Ben, what say you?  Before I do anything I'd like to have your opinion.

Cheers,

So you're saying that you want ARM (and sparc, and OLPC) to generate a
flat tree by calling into OFW?  Sparc and OLPC have very similar
mechanisms for getting device tree info from OFW, so it makes sense to
share code between them.


--

From: Grant Likely
Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 2:42 pm

ARM: yes, it will use the same mechanism as powerpc and microblaze.
Direct usage of the flat representation will be more common that
machines with real OFW.  I'm following the powerpc lead here because
the powerpc approach already supports both the flat tree and OFW in
the same kernel.

Sparc: I don't have a strong opinion.  Sparc and PowerPC have a lot of
shared code, but they've diverged quite a bit.  I have no intention to
force a model changes onto sparc.  For a lot of the merge work that
I'm doing I'm leaving the sparc code as-is in the arch/sparc tree with
the assumption that support for new architectures will use the common
code in drivers/of.

There of course is a gap when it comes to talking to OFW in that both
the current powerpc and sparc variants still remain in arch code.

x86:  I've also just received patches that make use of the flattened
representation on x86 for FPGA add in boards.  It is conceivable that
a single kernel will want support for both OFW and FDT.  Since PowerPC
already supports this use case, my preference is for the powerpc
implementation of OFW.

I'm squeamish about having both the powerpc and sparc methods in
common drivers/of code, but I'm not saying no.  I want to hear from
Ben and David who are more familiar with the history before I make a
decision.  I do know that Ben has been talking about generalizing the
powerpc version of the code, and I definitely don't want two methods

Other than the flattened tree step; is the powerpc method dissimilar
from the Sparc and OLPC method for talking to OFW?  (This is not a
rhetorical question, I'm want to know if I'm missing some details).
The main difference I know about is that OFW can still kept alive at
runtime for sparc, which powerpc does not do.  However, keeping OFW
callable is a separate issue from how to extract the device tree.

After having a look at powerpc's flatten_device_tree, I don't see any
obvious reason why OLPC couldn't use this (though it still strikes me
as weird to go from prom->fdt->dt when the option of prom->dt is
available and less complex). Do you already have the patches that put
this into drivers/of/?
--

From: Grant Likely
Date: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 2:52 pm

Which is why I didn't simply NACK it out of hand.  It is a valid point.

I'd probably be happier if both fdt and pdt used a shared set of
utility functions for allocating and tying together the device_node
data structures.  Then at least there would be only one instance of
code to deal with the fiddly data structure interconnections.

The nice thing about the powerpc version is that the tree can be
extracted really early in the boot process, before any of the core

No.

The problem with unifying it is that both methods have different
assumptions; the fdt determines the size of the unflattened dt in
advance, and allocates a contiguous block of memory up front (the
memory block being smaller than the pdt memory usage because various
strings are already present in the fdt, so the unflattened tree simply
points at those strings).  The pdt, otoh, allocates more memory as the
tree is discovered (by calling into the prom).

Possible options include:

 - For the pdt, calling into the prom twice for each property/node,
   getting the size of everything during the first tree traversal,
   allocating memory, and then creating the tree during the second
   traversal. This is slow and I don't see much point to it.

 - For the pdt, calling into the prom once for each property/node to
   create a fdt, and then unflattening it.  This is better than the
   previous option, but I don't think the prom->fdt code will be very
   nice.

 - Changing the fdt code to allocate memory more dynamically; rather
   than a first run through the fdt to determine the unflattened tree
   size, simply allocate memory chunks as we run through the tree.
   Memory might still be backed the same way (calling
   early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch to grab a chunk of memory, and then
   allocating chunks of it via unflatten_dt_alloc), but the difference
   would be that it wouldn't necessarily be contiguous, and in how it's
   done.  For example, early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch might be called
   initially to allocate a 16k chunk, and once unflatten_dt_alloc runs
   out of memory in that chunk, another 16k chunk might be allocated.
   This would also translate to sparc's prom_early_alloc being used to
   allocate the chunk, and then node/property structs being
   allocated from those chunks.  (The 16k choice
   is completely arbitrary; people more familiar w/ the early memory
   setup of ppc/sparc might have a better suggestion)

That last option ...

I'll need this on sparc64 at some point to support kexec() anyways.

So at least for sparc you can assume that a something-->fdt translator
is going to exist at some point in the future regardless of what
happens here.

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010 - 3:17 am

Note that the conversion from OF -> fdt that powerpc does is a bit
"special". The code isn't quite a "wrapper" but almost. It shared pretty
much no symbols or variables with the rest of the kernel.

There are various reasons for that. It has to run -very- early, in fact,
before we do anything else at boot time, since we run off OF existing
environment (stack etc...) at at whatever address the kernel is loaded,
ie. before we relocate it down to 0.

To deal with that, we use compile/linker tricks to generate
pseudo-relocatable code (with limitations) and funny macros when
accessing global symbols.

In addition, we have various workarounds for powerpc specific
implementation issues (OF bugs, but also instanciating the IOMMU tables
on Power4, starting secondary CPUs and parking them in a wait loop,
etc...).

Thus I'm not sure there's that much benefit in trying to make that code
common with other archs, and possibly a lot of pain involved.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi David,

I'm curious... what are your plans here?  Will you be keeping OF alive
between kexec()?  Will the new kernel get the entire device tree from
fdt, or will it still be talking to OF?  How will the fdt fragments as
Andres described above fit into sparc kexec (as opposed to generating
one big tree as in his first option)?

Cheers,
g.

On certain sparc64 systems, I have to stop making PROM calls early
in the boot right after I fetch the device tree into the kernel.

So yes for a kexec() I'll have to pass an fdt or similar to the
child kernel.

It could be a big linear fdt buffer, or fragments, it really doesn't
matter all that much actually.
--

From: Grant Likely
Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010 - 1:17 am

Okay.  There is already support for getting the tree out of the kernel
and into fdt form via procfs.  Userspace can also modify it before
sending it back to kexec().  This will be easy no matter which
approach Andres uses.

I'm fine with option 3, but it is more complicated and the code for
option 1 already exists.  In fact, option 1 is almost of a
pre-requisite for doing option 3.  It makes sense to get the
double-pass method factored out of powerpc and working before
attempting the performance enhancement of option 3.

Note however, the fdt data format parser expects a single contiguous
region.  You'll want to copy it into a single region before parsing
it.

That Being Said....

I just finished talking with Ben about the parser code.  There is no
immediate imperative to generalizing the powerpc OF->fdt->unflatten
code (unless David decides it makes sense for sparc too), and the
possibility of an ARM machine using it is theoretical enough that I'm
just not going to waste cycles thinking about it.  If the situation
changes in a couple of year or two, then it can be refactored.

That clears the way for your original pdt patch.  It will need to be
respun for Stephen's CONFIG_OF changes, and I have some other
comments, but I'll reply to the patches directly for those.

Cheers,
g.

From: Grant Likely
Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010 - 2:21 am

Some more comments below...

BTW, for the changes, you might what to split this patch into two
pieces.  One to verbatim copy the code from prom_common.c, and a
second to adapt it for non-sparc.  That will make the changes obvious

These become the API required by of/pdt.  They should be defined in a
arch-independent header file.  Something like include/linux/of_pdt.h

Right now only OLPC will be using this, so static function definitions
are just fine.  However, if there is ever more than one method for
talking to OFW, then these hooks will need to be converted into an ops



I'd like to see all the static symbols in this file prefixed with
something unique to avoid collisions with the global namespace.
of_pdt_* would be good.  I'm doing this with the other files in


Do you really need this #include in this way?  Can it be moved inside

This doesn't look like a pdt specific function, it could go in
include/linux/of.h.

Another general comment, I'm still not thrilled with this code having
its own independent method for building the tree, but I doubt the
existing add/remove nodes and properties code is usable early enough
to be suitable for sparc.  How early do you extract the device tree on
OLPC?  How are you going to use the data?

Anyway, enough comments for tonight.  I'll may have more on then next
round.  Time to go to bed.

Note that sparc and OLPC actually use slightly different function
signatures; OLPC uses phandles for nodes, while sparc uses ints.  Not a
huge difference, but enough that I didn't want to mess w/ a generic
version of it early in the process.  I agree that op structs would be
nicer, and will probably move towards that. 


Not sure, will try out different variants and see what breaks.


Not that early; very early code fetches information necessary to call
into the PROM, and ensures that the kernel doesn't clobber OFW's
memory.   After that, we can build the dt at any point during init.
The data is to be exported via proc for userspace to use in
determining hardware (and firmware) info.

--

From: Grant Likely
Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010 - 3:06 pm

phandle is simply defined as a u32.  It probably wouldn't be difficult
to change the sparc code to use phandle; redefining the type for sparc

Okay, so it is only the userspace interface that you're interested in,
correct?  You have no needs/plans (as of yet) to register devices out
of the device tree?

Looks good to me.  However, I've changed the depends line to the following.

depends on PROC_FS && OF && !SPARC

Make use of PROC_DEVICETREE to export the tree, and sparc's PROMTREE code to
call into OLPC's Open Firmware to build the tree.  

(Yes, I know this leaks memory by simply using kmalloc)

Hi Andres, comments below....


This hunk will need to be respun on top of Stephen's CONFIG_OF change.
 It's currently in my test-devicetree branch on




This change should no longer be necessary with the way I've modified patch 3/4.

Cheers,
g.

Hi Andres,


Yeah, just make config OLPC_OPENFIRMWARE select OF and OF_PROMTREE and just use

config OF
	bool

for now.  This will work even without my changes.  We will remove those
latter two lines later.

They're based upon what the old promfs patch used.  I need to test and
verify that strings are being mangled in the same way before I start

The reason for the header file redirection is because this is
OLPC-only; the x86 folks don't want me claiming this to be the One
True x86 OFW.

The defaults should do the right thing.  I would be very surprised if
stfncmp() was what you wanted to use because truncates compatible
values on compare.  I believe Sparc has historical reasons for using
it, but new platforms shouldn't need it.

On that point, I think I'm going to change the default override to
specifically test for CONFIG_SPARC instead of doing the weird
defined(OF_ROOT_NODE_ADDR_CELLS_DEFAULT)/defined(of_compat_cmp) I
currently have it doing.  That would probably make this separate

However, the #ifdef/#elseif/#else/#endif approach also makes the
assumption that only one kind of OFW will be supported by any given
kernel.  Or for that matter, both OFW and the flattened tree also
become mutually exclusive due to the default behaviour override.

Besides, aren't the function declarations just the interface defined
by the prom extraction code?  Is there any need to #ifdef that API?  I
would think those function prototypes should be defined by the header
for the prom extraction code.

Mm, both are good points; I suppose for now it doesn't hurt to lose the
#ifdefs, and deal w/ additional x86 proms support if it comes up.

These patches modify drivers/of, sparc, and x86 accordingly to add
OLPC device-tree support.  Updates have been made based upon Grant and
Davem's comments.  They've been compile-tested on sparc64 and x86, and
runtime tested on OLPC machines.

Dave's 25edd6946 commit caused some conflicts w/ patch #2;
hopefully I mangled it properly.

We need phandle for some exported sparc headers; of.h isn't an
exported header, and it would be silly to export it when all we
really need is one or two types from it.  So, move the phandle/ihandle
definitions into types.h.

The above is inside #ifdef __KERNEL__ / #endif
so it is not exported as we drop code protected
by __KERNEL__ when we prepare for export.

Id addition "phandle" and "ihandle" needs to have
two underscores apended as we cannot just add the above
to the userspace namespace and expect it to be OK.

We do this for many other typers already, see __u32 for example.

At least for me, that's fine; I don't need phandle/ihandle to be
available to userspace.  The folks who work on the userspace fdt code
may feel differently, however.

(I'm not sure if you're suggesting it be outside the __KERNEL__ ifdef

--

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Saturday, September 4, 2010 - 11:22 pm

If the goal is to get ihandle/phandle exported to userspace then
they have to be moved outside __KERNEL__.

I just tried to export sparc64 headers,
and here I found references to ihandle/phandle in a comment
only sparc does not need these types today.

The relevant function took and returns an int btw.

So the above looks good considerign that userspace
so far does not require ihanlde/phandle.

From: Andres Salomon
Date: Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 8:55 pm

Rather than passing around ints everywhere, use the
phandle type where appropriate for the various functions
that talk to the PROM.

Note: this has only been compile-tested for 64bit sparc.

Rather than assuming an architecture defines prom_getchild and friends,
define an ops struct with hooks for the various prom functions that
pdt.c needs.  This ops struct is filled in by the
arch-(and sometimes firmware-)specific code, and passed to
of_pdt_build_devicetree.

Update sparc code to define the ops struct as well.

package-to-path is a PROM function which tells us the real (full) name of the
node.  This provides a hook for that in the prom ops struct, and makes use
of it in the pdt code when attempting to determine a node's name.  If the
hook is available, try using it (falling back to looking at the "name"
property if it fails).

This functionality overlaps with patches previously submitted
by Stephen Neuendorffer.  I don't care whose eventually get applied,
so long as drivers/of/* becomes buildable on x86.

Okay, I've thought about this problem some more, and I think I've
decided how I want it solved.  Nack on this particular patch because
it adds NO_IRQ to arch/x86/kernel/irq.c (it has been nacked before).
Instead, I'd like the of irq code to be reworked a bit to make this
nicer and isolate the NO_IRQ definition only to the OF irq .c file
(when the arch doesn't explicitly define it).

Right now, there are two files in drivers/of referencing NO_IRQ;
drivers/of/platform.c and drivers/of/irq.c.  platform.c only
references in the context of figuring out how many irqs there are and
populating a resource table.  I'd like to remove that code from
platform.c and add a pair of helper functions to irq.c.  Then the top
of irq.c could conditionally #define NO_IRQ 0 and thereby prevent the
definition leaking out to the rest of the kernel.

Eventually I'll get around to doing this myself, but it would be
helpful to me if either you or Stephen could craft and test a patch.

Perhaps something like:

int of_irq_count(device_node *np)
{
        /* Count and return the number of IRQs. */
}

int of_irq_to_resource_table(device_node *np, struct resource *res, int max)
{
        for (i = 0; i < max; i++; res++)
                if (of_irq_to_resource(np, i, res) == NO_IRQ)
                        break;
        return i;

This simplistic implementation is of course non-ideal, but it works as
a stop-gap measure until I've got the irq infrastructure more mature.

Make use of PROC_DEVICETREE to export the tree, and sparc's PROMTREE code to
call into OLPC's Open Firmware to build the tree.

This also adds an init hook to proc_device_tree_init so that we can ensure
the device tree has been built prior to the proc_root_init stuff attempting
to populate /proc/device-tree.

I'm not clear as to why this is needed.  I would expect OLPC platform
setup code would take care of extracting the device tree well before
the kernel gets to setting up the representation in /proc/device-tree.

For simplicity; the OLPC platform setup code runs very early during
boot.  I preferred to keep that as minimal as possible, and defer
device tree allocation until the x86 mm code has finished initializing
(this skipping all the fun bootmem/etc work that'll be happening for
x86 soon).

Of course, once it's done initializing, one can either hardcode an
olpc_init_devtree call at the end of x86's setup_arch, or we can add a
generic hook for late devtree initialization right before proc
populates /proc/device-tree.  I chose the latter, but it could easily
be changed to the former if folks feel strongly about it.

I would've normally just used an initcall for it, but the proc_devtree
code runs prior to any of the initcall hooks.

Hmmm.  I wonder if proc_devtree initialization could be deferred to an
initcall.  That would make the problem go away.

I've only looked through this code lightly, but it seems fairly sane,
other than issues already raised.  Since this has more impact on sparc
than anything, I'll need to have David's feedback before doing
anything with it.
