[PATCH v2 00/19] gpu: nova-core: register!() macro improvements
Posted by Alexandre Courbot 2 months, 3 weeks ago
This patch series introduces a number of improvements to nova-core's
register!() macro in order to make it more useful to Nova itself, and to
bring it closer to graduation into the wider kernel crate.

The first half is trivial fixes and code reorganization to let the
following patches apply more cleanly.

The interesting stuff begins with the introduction of proper `Debug` and
`Default` implementations leveraging the field information that is made
available by the first half of the patchset. `Debug` now displays the
interpreted values of all the fields on top of the hexadecimal
representation of the register; and `Default` now initializes all the
fields to their declared default value instead of just zeroes.

Then goes a complete redesign of the way relative registers work. The
previous way was very unsafe as it accepted any literal value as the
base. Now, valid bases can (and must) be explicitly defined for specific
group of relative registers. All these bases are belong to us, and thus
can be validated at build-time.

Next come arrays of registers, a useful feature to represent contiguous
groups of registers that are interpreted identically. For these we have
both build-time and runtime checked accessors. We immediately make use
of them to clean up the FUSE registers code, which was a bit unsightly
due to the lack of this feature.

Finally, combining the two features: arrays of relative registers, which
we don't really need at the moment, but will become needed for GSP
booting.

There are still features that need to be implemented before this macro
can be considered ready for other drivers:

- Make I/O accessors optional,
- Support other sizes than `u32`,
- Allow visibility control for registers and individual fields,
- Convert the range syntax to inclusive slices instead of NVIDIA's
  OpenRM format,
- ... and proper suitability assessment by other driver contributors.

These should be trivial compared to the work that is done in this
series.

Changes in v2:
- Improve documentation and add layout diagram for the relative
  registers example.
- Fix build error when fields named `offset` are declared.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250704-nova-regs-v1-0-f88d028781a4@nvidia.com
