#1565857 — [RFC 1/4] irqchip, gicv3-its: Add device tree binding for hisilicon 161010801 erratum

This erratum describes the limitation of certain HiSilicon platforms
to support the SMMU mappings for MSI transactions and on those platforms
the MSI transactions has to be bypassed by SMMU. The IIDR register of the
GICv3 ITS on these platforms are not properly populated to differentiate
the hardware, hence describe it in device tree.

Hi,

I see this wasn't Cc'd to LAKML, unlike the cover letter, and patch 3
(which isn't threaded against the cover letter).

Please use a consistent Cc list, with patches in-reply to the cover
letter.

What exactly is meant by "doesn't support SMMU mapping" here? What
precisely is the problem in HW?

Thanks,

On this platforms the ITS doorbell deviceID information is embedded in the MSI 
payload. To do this, the PCIe controller differentiates the MSI payload and 
DMA payload and modifies the MSI payload to add the deviceID information.
The way it modifies this is by comparing against a SYS_CTRL register which
is configured by UEFI with the ITS doorbell phys address.

Hence if EP is configured with a SMMU translated Doorbell address, the PCIe
RC cannot differentiate the MSI payload and ITS will fail to generate the 
Interrupt.

Hope I am clear.

Thanks,
Shameer

Ok. Some part of this will need to go in the binding description.

How does this interact with translations via the SMMU?

Do writes matching this address:

(a) always bypass translation.
(b) get translated after modification.
(c) other?

Thanks,
Mark.

PCIe RC has a configuration setting to enable/disable SMMU
bypass for PCIe MSI write and with this patch series we
are using the disable mode. So it bypasses SMMU always for
MSI but not for DMA. 

As per our SoC engineers this implementation seems to be based on an earlier
version of GIC spec earlier version the GIC spec(Document 
number:PRD03-GENC-010745 18.0) where it says:

"Implementations may choose to transform writes to GITS_TRANSLATER by either:
 -multiplexing the device ID onto the address bus (which is what GIC-500 provides
  a mechanism for), or
 -extending the data value to 64 bits, providing the device ID in the upper bits,
  and transforming the access to become a 64-bit write"

Though I can't find the same in latest GIC spec.

Thanks,
Shameer

Crucially, that should be done by performing the up-scaling just as the
write reaches the ITS translation register, and *not* when the write
leaves the RC. If you up-scale it early, you end-up in this silly situation.

Because that's not an architecture feature, but an implement decision.
And whatever the implementation does, it should be invisible to SW.
Unfortunately, bypassing the SMMU is not exactly invisible...

Totally agree. Unfortunately this is the way our implementation is :(
