[PATCH v1] xen/arm: arm32: Add support to identify the Cortex-R52 processor
Posted by Ayan Kumar Halder 10 months, 1 week ago
Add a special configuration (CONFIG_AARCH32_V8R) to setup the Cortex-R52
specifics.

Cortex-R52 is an Arm-V8R AArch32 processor.

Refer ARM DDI 0487I.a ID081822, G8-9647, G8.2.112 MIDR,
bits[31:24] = 0x41 , Arm Ltd
bits[23:20] = Implementation defined
bits[19:16] = 0xf , Arch features are individually identified
bits[15:4] = Implementation defined
bits[3:0] = Implementation defined

Thus, the processor id is 0x410f0000 and the processor id mask is
0xff0f0000

Also, there is no special initialization required for R52.

Are you saying that Xen upstream + this patch will boot on Cortex-R52?

Below you say the file will contain v8r specific initialization. So 
please rename it to proc-v8r.S.

This patch will help for earlyboot of Xen. With this patch, cpu_init() 
will work on Cortex-R52.

There will be changes required for the MPU configuration, but that will 
be sent after Penny's patch serie "[PATCH v2 00/41] xen/arm: Add 
Armv8-R64 MPU support to Xen - Part#1" is upstreamed.

My aim is to extract the non-dependent changes and send them for review.

I can review the patch. But I am not willing to merge it as it gives the 
false impression that Xen would boot on Cortex-R52.

In fact, I think this patch should only be merged once we have all the 
MPU merged.

IMHO, patches are independent are rework (e.g. code split...) that would 
help the MPU.

Yes, that's exactly what I intend to do. I will send out the patches 
(similar to this) which will not be impacted by the MPU changes.

So, that both as an author/reviewer, it helps to restrict MPU serie to 
only MPU specific changes.

Can you suggest some change to the commit message, so that we can commit 
it (without giving any false impression that Xen boots on Cortex-R52) ?

May be adding this line to the commit message helps ?

"However, Xen does not fully boot on Cortex-R52 as it requires MPU 
support which is under review.

Once Xen is supported on Cortex-R52, SUPPORT.md will be amended to 
reflect it."

While writing an answer for this patch, I was actually wondering whether 
the CPU allowlist still make sense for the 32-bit ARMv8-R?

 From Armv7-A, we needed it because some CPUs need specific quirk when 
booting. But it would be best if we can get rid of it for 32-bit ARMv8-R.

Looking at your patch, your merely providing stubs. Do you have any plan 
to fill them up?

Actually, I would use cr52_init in a later patch to write to CNTFRQ. See 
below :-

+#define XPAR_CPU_CORTEXR52_0_TIMESTAMP_CLK_FREQ  800000U
+
  cr52_init:
+        /*
+         * Set counter frequency  800 KHZ
+         *
+         * Set counter frequency, CNTFRQ
+         */
+        ldr     r0,=XPAR_CPU_CORTEXR52_0_TIMESTAMP_CLK_FREQ
+        mrc     15,0,r1,c14,c0,0  /* Read CNTFRQ */
+        cmp     r1,#0
+        /* Set only if the frequency read is 0 */
+        mcreq   15,0,r0,c14,c0,0  /* Write CNTFRQ */
+
          mov pc, lr

Why can't you use the device-tree (see clock-frequency) as all the other 
buggy platform does?

That's a good suggestion :). Also, I can do this in the platform 
specific .init().

Then, can I add the empty stubs for R52 (similar to 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7m.S#L165 
Cortex-M7, cpu_v7m_proc_init(), cpu_v7m_switch_mm() are stubs).

Or do you propose something like this :-

And we introduce this new bool Kconfig option "CONFIG_ARM_NO_PROC_INIT" 
which will be defined for processors that do not need any special init 
(eg R52).

I am not sure I understand why you are referring to .init() when you can 
simply add the property in the device-tree.

We should not add new .init() if platform-agnostic way to do it.

I think it would be best if you just #ifdef the fail below. So if the 
config selected, then you will still be able to have a Xen that can boot 
Cortex-A15 or a core that don't need _init.

Note that for now, we should only select this new config for Armv8-R 
because there are some work to confirm it would be safe for us to boot 
Xen 32-bit Arm on any CPUs. I vaguely remember that we were making some 
assumptions on the cache type in the past. But maybe we other check in 
place to check such assumption.

If this can be confirm (I am not ask you to do it, but you can) then we 
could even get rid of the #ifdef.

I had a look through the code. We have a check in the 32-bit version of 
setup_mm() for the instruction cache type. So I think it would be OK to 
relax the check in head.S.

Bertrand, Stefano, what do you think?

As per discussion, I have sent "[XEN v2] xen/arm: arm32: Allow Xen to 
boot on unidentified CPUs" with the comment addressed.
