From: Al Stone <al.stone@linaro.org>

As we want to get ACPI tables to parse and then use the information
for system initialization, we should get the RSDP (Root System
Description Pointer) first, it then locates Extended Root Description
Table (XSDT) which contains all the 64-bit physical address that
pointer to other boot-time tables.

Introduce acpi.c and its related head file in this patch to provide
fundamental needs of extern variables and functions for ACPI core,
and then get boot-time tables as needed.
  - asm/acenv.h for arch specific ACPICA environments and
    implementation;
  - asm/acpi.h for arch specific variables and functions needed by
    ACPI driver core;
  - acpi.c for ARM64 related ACPI implementation for ACPI driver
    core;

acpi_boot_table_init() is introduced to get RSDP and boot-time tables,
it will be called in setup_arch() before paging_init(), so we should
use eary_memremap() mechanism here to get the RSDP and all the table
pointers.

Does this mean that it will be supported at some point? Looking at the
places where this function is called, I don't really see how this would
ever work on ARM. Which means that we add such macro just to be able to
compile code that would never be used on arm64. I would rather see the
relevant ACPI files only compiled on x86/IA-64 rather than arm64.

So at this point, there wouldn't be anything yet to set acpi_disabled to
1, unless !CONFIG_ACPI.

Do you need anything more to add to this function later? Otherwise, just
call it in setup_arch() directly (maybe dependent on
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI) or just create an equivalent dummy
acpi_table_init() when not configured).

Is there any dummy acpi_boot_table_init() when !CONFIG_ACPI? I couldn't
see one in this patch, so I don't see how this would compile when ACPI
is disabled.

That specific cache behavior is a part of e.g. ACPI C3 state support
(e.g. ACPI5.1 8.1.4 Processor Power State C3). As you note, it's not
going to work on 64-bit ARM as it does on x86, but it's optional to
implement C3 and early 64-bit ARM systems should not report Wbindv flags
in the FADT anyway. They can also set FADT.P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, which has
the effect of disabling C3 support, while also allowing for use of _CST
objects to define more flexible C-States later on.

One of the ARM guys pointed out the cache issue before I had meant to send this note then. Sorry.

From what I recall it's impossible to support as we have no equivalent
of WBINVD -- the possibility migration of dirty cache lines renders it
impossible to guarantee that the caches remain empty (or that data even
left the local caches in the first place).

Agreed.

It looks like include/acpi/platform/acenv.h defines an empty
ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE() stub, so something else should probably be done
to turn the use of ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE() into a build-time bug on
arm64.

Per table 5-35, if neither WBINVD or WBINVD_FLUSH are set in the FADT,
we don't get S1, S2, or S3 states either.

Unless the arm cache architecture changes, I wouldn't expect any 64-bit
ARM system to set either of the WBINVD flags.

It sounds like we should be sanity checking these in the arm64 ACPI code
for the moment. I don't want us to discover that current platforms
report the wrong thing only when new platforms come out that might
actually report things correctly.

That's not quite what it says. You could still define an \_S1 state on
such a system. That table simply makes an assumption that if the stride
parameters are not defined and neither is wbindv then there's no way to
reliably flush caches, which of course isn't a valid conclusion, it's
just language that needs to be updated to reflect reality. So it's not
"don't get", it's "machine cannot support", which is an assumption.

Indeed.

It's reasonable to do this sooner rather than later, sure.

I think that the kernel must ignore most of the stuff mentioned above
in HW_REDUCED_ACPI mode. And to be frank I still think that the problem
is not even there. The problem is trying to compile code that basically
has no defined behaviour - ie it is unspecified - on ARM64, that's what
Catalin pointed out.

I understand it is compiled in by default on x86, but that's not a reason
why we should add empty hooks all over the place to compile code that
does not stand a chance to be doing anything sensible apart from
returning an error code, in the best case scenario.

I had pointed out this earlier, even if we make it compile there's
every possibility that it can blow up if some vendor adds S- states
to their ACPI tables. One clear reason why it could blow up is:

"
      /* This violates the spec but is required for bug compatibility. */
      acpi_write_bit_register(ACPI_BITREG_SCI_ENABLE, 1);
"

I don't think this can ever work on ARM platforms. So better to fix it
properly.

Sudeep

Hanjun,

How do you want to proceed? I'm not sure it should be !HW_REDUCED_MODE
for the cache behavior, because an embedded x86 box would still probably
define those, but removing the hooks on ARM may make sense.

We add FADT parse function to this function later.

There is a stub function in linux/acpi.h when ACPI is disabled.

As Graeme said in the reply, for sleep we are doing the same thing as
ia64 in stubbing out the functions, and before that we are trying to remove
the hooks on ARM by introducing more stubs and making things more complicated.

I agree that we should rework the ACPI core to make sleep/cache related
stuff compatible with ARM, but I think we may not do this in one go, it will
need incremental changes over the next couple of years as real hardware
starts to appear and we finalise the standards to support this.

Now, as we list in the arm-acpi.txt doc, power management of sleep states
and CPU power/frequency control are not well defined in ACPI spec for ARM,
we need some time to finalize the standard and then we know how to implement
that in a good shape.

ACPI 5.1 already fixed lots missing features for ARM64 and provide the
fundamental needs to bring up the basic system for ARM server, power
management is not critical at now, so why not fix/implement it later?

Thanks
Hanjun

Sorry, that's not really an argument.

I still think you can make things simpler by not compiling the code
in question because we'll never implement such hooks on arm64, they
don't make sense from an architecture perspective (whole cache flushing
with MMU enabled cannot be done).

I don't have a problem with implementing (rather than fixing) power
management later, once the ACPI spec covers it. But the point a few of
us were trying to make is that even when ACPI spec is updated, the
current power management code and hooks still won't make sense on ARM.
The best is to avoid compiling it for ARM now and look at refactoring it
later to accommodate ARM ACPI.

It's in include/linux/acpi.h in the !CONFIG_ACPI section.

Yes, reworking acpica is out of scope for this patch set. I don't think
it makes sense to try and do that refactoring here.

I disagree strongly here. We're talking about a library of code that is
working on x86 and ia64, but hasn't been tuned for ARM. Trying to
refactor it first, and then get it compiling for ARM is entirely the
wrong way around. The best way to get that code refactored for
ARM is to get it compiling first, and then refactor it to remove the
unnecessary stubs. That makes it a whole lot easier to make the
arguements about why the changes are needed. Otherwise it just shows
churn on the ACPICA side without any evidence of why the change is
good. Trying to refactor first also has the risk of breaking things
that work now in the name of "refactoring" and not being able to easily
bisect it for ARM. That's just madness.

Aside from a slightly larger kernel, there is no downside to using
stubs for now.

Getting things working is the first step. Then we've got a good base to
launch the refactoring from.

I think where we disagree is the "tuning" part. If it's just that, it
would be fine, but there are fundamental differences in the
architectures that the above would not even make sense on ARM (so it's
more like rewriting than tuning).

> Trying to

Note that I explicitly stated "refactoring it later". I have not asked
for the existing code to be refactored _now_ as it's not even clear how
it would look like on ARM (what's clear though is that its behaviour is
_undefined_).

I agree with not starting the refactoring now. But is it difficult to
make it compilable based on something like CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP and the
latter depend on !ARM64 until the spec is clear?

There is a serious downside - code with _undefined_ behaviour on arm64
that may get executed depending on the content of the ACPI tables. I'm
sure it's a lot of fun debugging this.

This particular issue is pretty much moot now. The latest series was
able to compile out the sleep functions. If they hadn't however, we
weren't at any risk. Empty hooks have no impact, and even if the
behaviour is defined in a future revision of the spec, they will remain
noops for ACPI 5.1 systems.

It's really easy for us to deal with this. For ACPI 5.1, we don't do
anything, and we should never try to do anything with those states.  If
and when a future revision of the ACPI spec appears that does define
those states, then we will use them, but only if the reported ACPI
version is high enough.

That’s what I was looking for.

It’s not the hooks I’m worried about but the code that calls those
hooks. As Sudeep pointed out, the kernel will probably panic before even
reaching the hooks. IOW, would you have been OK with simply defining
these hooks as BUG()?

In principle, I’m against compiling in code paths that you can never
test, it just goes against the idea of a “robust" system.

It’s the other way around: the reported ACPI version (by firmware) is
high enough but the kernel code is not updated beyond 5.1 and may run
the current ARM-undefined ACPI sleep code.

Yes.

I don't dispute the code paths should be removed, but rather that
removing them shouldn't be a prerequisite for merging it into
mainline.

I went through exactly this same exercise when getting DT to be cross
platform. There was all kinds of stuff that got compiled into
Microblaze, and later ARM that was only applicable for PowerPC. The
refactoring came later and incrementally. It would have been a much
more difficult job if I had to maintain the patches out of tree until
the common code was near perfect. It would have taken a lot longer
too.

That is fine too. Future ACPI platforms are also to be backwards
compatible. Platforms are not allowed to use new features if the OS
only supports an old rev of the spec.

IMO, it is not a good timing to talk about ACPICA sleep code refactoring.
The current power management code and hooks also don't make sense to Intel platforms.
The proof is the Xen hooks which is currently implemented in the hackish style.
In order to cleanup such Xen hooks, the sleep code need to be refactored.

IMO, you may have things proceeded without doing any changes to the sleep code.
When the power management requirement for ARM is fixed, you can also introduce hackish code to support it.
And from that point, we may be able to provide a well-shaped refactoring work.
