firmware: arm_scmi: add basic driver infrastructure for SCMI

2018-02-28T16:37:57Z

The SCMI is intended to allow OSPM to manage various functions that are provided by the hardware platform it is running on, including power and performance functions. SCMI provides two levels of abstraction, protocols and transports. Protocols define individual groups of system control and management messages. A protocol specification describes the messages that it supports. Transports describe the method by which protocol messages are communicated between agents and the platform. This patch adds basic infrastructure to manage the message allocation, initialisation, packing/unpacking and shared memory management.

firmware: arm_sdei: Add driver for Software Delegated Exceptions

2018-01-13T10:44:56Z

The Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI) is an ARM standard for registering callbacks from the platform firmware into the OS. This is typically used to implement firmware notifications (such as firmware-first RAS) or promote an IRQ that has been promoted to a firmware-assisted NMI. Add the code for detecting the SDEI version and the framework for registering and unregistering events. Subsequent patches will add the arch-specific backend code and the necessary power management hooks. Only shared events are supported, power management, private events and discovery for ACPI systems will be added by later patches. Signed-off-by: James Morse Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers: psci: PSCI checker module

2016-11-25T22:25:52Z

On arm and arm64, PSCI is one of the possible firmware interfaces used for power management. This includes both turning CPUs on and off, and suspending them (entering idle states). This patch adds a PSCI checker module that enables basic testing of PSCI operations during startup. There are two main tests: CPU hotplugging and suspending. In the hotplug tests, the hotplug API is used to turn off and on again all CPUs in the system, and then all CPUs in each cluster, checking the consistency of the return codes. In the suspend tests, a high-priority thread is created on each core and uses low-level cpuidle functionalities to enter suspend, in all the possible states and multiple times. This should allow a maximum number of CPUs to enter the same sleep state at the same or slightly different time. In essence, the suspend tests use a principle similar to that of the intel_powerclamp driver (drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c), but the threads are only kept for the duration of the test (they are already gone when userspace is started) and it does not require to stop/start the tick. While in theory power management PSCI functions (CPU_{ON,OFF,SUSPEND}) could be directly called, this proved too difficult as it would imply the duplication of all the logic used by the kernel to allow for a clean shutdown/bringup/suspend of the CPU (the deepest sleep states implying potentially the shutdown of the CPU). Note that this file cannot be compiled as a loadable module, since it uses a number of non-exported identifiers (essentially for PSCI-specific checks and direct use of cpuidle) and relies on the absence of userspace to avoid races when calling hotplug and cpuidle functions. For now at least, CONFIG_PSCI_CHECKER is mutually exclusive with CONFIG_TORTURE_TEST, because torture tests may also use hotplug and cause false positives in the hotplug tests.

firmware: tegra: Add IVC library

2016-11-18T13:33:42Z

The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS. Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of data. The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the library to exchange messages with remote processors. Based on work by Peter Newman and Joseph Lo . Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding

firmware: Add basic support for TI System Control Interface (TI-SCI) protocol

2016-10-27T09:09:11Z

Texas Instrument's System Control Interface (TI-SCI) Message Protocol is used in Texas Instrument's System on Chip (SoC) such as those in keystone family K2G SoC to communicate between various compute processors with a central system controller entity. TI-SCI message protocol provides support for management of various hardware entities within the SoC. Add support driver to allow communication with system controller entity within the SoC using the mailbox client. We introduce the basic registration and query capability for the driver protocol as part of this change. Subsequent patches add in functionality specific to the TI-SCI features.
