2020-09-17dma-mapping: introduce DMA range map, supplanting dma_pfn_offsetJim Quinlan
The new field 'dma_range_map' in struct device is used to facilitate the use of single or multiple offsets between mapping regions of cpu addrs and dma addrs. It subsumes the role of "dev->dma_pfn_offset" which was only capable of holding a single uniform offset and had no region bounds checking. The function of_dma_get_range() has been modified so that it takes a single argument -- the device node -- and returns a map, NULL, or an error code. The map is an array that holds the information regarding the DMA regions. Each range entry contains the address offset, the cpu_start address, the dma_start address, and the size of the region. of_dma_configure() is the typical manner to set range offsets but there are a number of ad hoc assignments to "dev->dma_pfn_offset" in the kernel driver code. These cases now invoke the function dma_direct_set_offset(dev, cpu_addr, dma_addr, size).

2020-03-31of: of_private.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array memberGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2019-12-24of: Rework and simplify phandle cache to use a fixed sizeRob Herring
The phandle cache was added to speed up of_find_node_by_phandle() by avoiding walking the whole DT to find a matching phandle. The implementation has several shortcomings: - The cache is designed to work on a linear set of phandle values. This is true for dtc generated DTs, but not for other cases such as Power. - The cache isn't enabled until of_core_init() and a typical system may see hundreds of calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() before that point. - The cache is freed and re-allocated when the number of phandles changes. - It takes a raw spinlock around a memory allocation which breaks on RT. Change the implementation to a fixed size and use hash_32() as the cache index. This greatly simplifies the implementation. It avoids the need for any re-alloc of the cache and taking a reference on nodes in the cache. We only have a single source of removing cache entries which is of_detach_node(). Using hash_32() removes any assumption on phandle values improving the hit rate for non-linear phandle values. The effect on linear values using hash_32() is about a 10% collision. The chances of thrashing on colliding values seems to be low. To compare performance, I used a RK3399 board which is a pretty typical system. I found that just measuring boot time as done previously is noisy and may be impacted by other things. Also bringing up secondary cores causes some issues with measuring, so I booted with 'nr_cpus=1'. With no caching, calls to of_find_node_by_phandle() take about 20124 us for 1248 calls. There's an additional 288 calls before time keeping is up. Using the average time per hit/miss with the cache, we can calculate these calls to take 690 us (277 hit / 11 miss) with a 128 entry cache and 13319 us with no cache or an uninitialized cache. Comparing the 3 implementations the time spent in of_find_node_by_phandle() is: no cache: 20124 us (+ 13319 us) 128 entry cache: 5134 us (+ 690 us) current cache: 819 us (+ 13319 us) We could move the allocation of the cache earlier to improve the current cache, but that just further complicates the situation as it needs to be after slab is up, so we can't do it when unflattening (which uses memblock).

For that, factor out variants of the "#addr-cells" and "#size-cells" parsers which do not assume they have a device node and thus immediately traverse upwards before reading the relevant property.

2018-03-07of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle()Frank Rowand
Create a cache of the nodes that contain a phandle property. Use this cache to find the node for a given phandle value instead of scanning the devicetree to find the node. If the phandle value is not found in the cache, of_find_node_by_phandle() will fall back to the tree scan algorithm. The cache is initialized in of_core_init(). The cache is freed via a late_initcall_sync() if modules are not enabled. If the devicetree is created by the dtc compiler, with all phandle property values auto generated, then the size required by the cache could be 4 * (1 + number of phandles) bytes. This results in an O(1) node lookup cost for a given phandle value. Due to a concern that the phandle property values might not be consistent with what is generated by the dtc compiler, a mask has been added to the cache lookup algorithm. To maintain the O(1) node lookup cost, the size of the cache has been increased by rounding the number of entries up to the next power of two. The overhead of finding the devicetree node containing a given phandle value has been noted by several people in the recent past, in some cases with a patch to add a hashed index of devicetree nodes, based on the phandle value of the node. One concern with this approach is the extra space added to each node. This patch takes advantage of the phandle property values auto generated by the dtc compiler, which begin with one and monotonically increase by one, resulting in a range of 1..n for n phandle values. This implementation should also provide a good reduction of overhead for any range of phandle values that are mostly in a monotonic range. Performance measurements by Chintan Pandya <cpandya@codeaurora.org> of several implementations of patches that are similar to this one suggest an expected reduction of boot time by ~400ms for his test system. If the cache size was decreased to 64 entries, the boot time was reduced by ~340 ms. The measurements were on a 4.9.73 kernel for arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sda670-mtp.dts, contains 2371 nodes and 814 phandle values.

2017-10-17of: overlay: avoid race condition between applying multiple overlaysFrank Rowand
The process of applying an overlay consists of: - unflatten an overlay FDT (flattened device tree) into an EDT (expanded device tree) - fixup the phandle values in the overlay EDT to fit in a range above the phandle values in the live device tree - create the overlay changeset to reflect the contents of the overlay EDT - apply the overlay changeset, to modify the live device tree, potentially changing the maximum phandle value in the live device tree There is currently no protection against two overlay applies concurrently determining what range of phandle values are in use in the live device tree, and subsequently changing that range. Add a mutex to prevent multiple overlay applies from occurring simultaneously. Move of_resolve_phandles() into of_overlay_apply() so that it does not have to be duplicated by each caller of of_overlay_apply(). The test in of_resolve_phandles() that the overlay tree is detached is temporarily disabled so that old style overlay unittests do not fail.

Add the missing checks and flag the devicetree as corrupt if the state of the devicetree can not be determined. Improve and expand the returned errors to more fully reflect the result of the effort to undo the partial effects of a failed attempt to apply or remove an overlay changeset. If the device tree might be corrupt, do not allow further attempts to apply or remove an overlay changeset.

Currently, devicetree reconfig notifiers get emitted before the change is applied to the tree, but that behaviour is problematic if the receiver wants the determine the new state of the tree. The current users don't care, but the changeset code to follow will be making multiple changes at once. Reorder notifiers to get emitted after the change has been applied to the tree so that callbacks see the new tree state. At the same time, fixup the existing callbacks to expect the new order. There are a few callbacks that compare the old and new values of a changed property. Put both property pointers into the of_prop_reconfig structure. The current notifiers also allow the notifier callback to fail and cancel the change to the tree, but that feature isn't actually used. It really isn't valid to ignore a tree modification provided by firmware anyway, so remove the ability to cancel a change to the tree.

Fix this problem by moving the logic out of arch/powerpc and into drivers/of/dynamic.c. It is also important to remove this notifier because we want to move the firing of notifiers from before the tree is modified to after so that the receiver gets a consistent view of the tree, but that is incompatible with notifiers that modify the node.

2014-07-23of: Make devicetree sysfs update functions consistent.Grant Likely
All of the DT modification functions are split into two parts, the first part manipulates the DT data structure, and the second part updates sysfs, but the code isn't very consistent about how the second half is called. They don't all enforce the same rules about when it is valid to update sysfs, and there isn't any clarity on locking. The transactional DT modification feature that is coming also needs access to these functions so that it can perform all the structure changes together, and then all the sysfs updates as a second stage instead of doing each one at a time. Fix up the second have by creating a separate __of_*_sysfs() function for each of the helpers. The new functions have consistent naming (ie. of_node_add() becomes __of_attach_node_sysfs()) and all of them now defer if of_init hasn't been called yet. Callers of the new functions must hold the of_mutex to ensure there are no race conditions with of_init(). The mutex ensures that there will only ever be one writer to the tree at any given time. There can still be any number of readers and the raw_spin_lock is still used to make sure access to the data structure is still consistent. Finally, put the function prototypes into of_private.h so they are accessible to the transaction code.
