[PATCH v4 02/13] gpu: nova-core: Create initial Gsp
Posted by Alistair Popple 4 months ago
The GSP requires several areas of memory to operate. Each of these have
their own simple embedded page tables. Set these up and map them for DMA
to/from GSP using CoherentAllocation's. Return the DMA handle describing
where each of these regions are for future use when booting GSP.

Change for v3:
 - Clean up the PTE array creation, with much thanks to Alex for doing
   most it (please let me know if I should put you as co-developer!)

Changes for v2:
 - Renamed GspMemOjbects to Gsp as that is what they are
 - Rebased on Alex's latest series

This looks like it could depend on the firmware version in the future, hence it
should probably defined somewhere in fw/ with a corresponding comment. The
actual version switch is fine to omit for now of course (we agreed to add the
infrastructure for the version switch subsequently).

Why 0x10? Is there a specific reason?

This creates warnings for older compiler version, please use pub(crate) instead.

Please separate struct definitions and impl blocks with an empty line.

No check that NUM_PAGES actually fits the size of the DMA buffer handle passed
in? What happens if they do not match?

I think this should be handle.checked_add(). Additionally we should add the
following compile time check to make sure that the shift can never overflow:

	const _MAX_OFFSET: usize = NUM_PAGES << GSP_PAGE_SHIFT;

I think we should just create a new gsp::Logbuffer type for this rather than
have a function as object constructor.

No real reason other than 64K seems appropriate. It also happens to match what
Nouveau does.

Ok. In fact I'm not even sure these need to public (for this series at least).

Done.

If it's bigger there's no issue, we just initialise a few more PTEs than
necessary that don't get copied. If it's smaller there will be uninitialised
PTEs. For v5 I've added another const to keep these the same.

Sure.

> 	const _MAX_OFFSET: usize = NUM_PAGES << GSP_PAGE_SHIFT;

Hmm. My Rust wasn't good enough to make this work:

impl<const NUM_PAGES: usize> PteArray<NUM_PAGES> {
    fn new(handle: DmaAddress) -> Result<Self> {
        // Compile time check to ensure the shift below never overflows.
        const _MAX_OFFSET: usize = NUM_PAGES << GSP_PAGE_SHIFT;

Results in:

error[E0401]: can't use generic parameters from outer item

Maybe I'm missing something (the documentation for E0401 didn't really enlighten
me I'm afraid).

Have done for v5.

Ok, I have shamelessly stolen some from Nouveau for v5.

In this case it won't work because obviously From<u32> isn't implemented
for u8. It's kind of redundant, because hopefully our bindings are sane, but
I've changed this to try_into() and made LibosMemoryRegionInitArgument::new()
failable for v5.
