Yeah it seems the assembly parts should be done in more generic way using macros so the same setup can then be used for other SoCs.

Nishanth, let's be objective here. CPUidle on 4460 does *not* work in mainline for at least two kernel releases even for LE [1]. That fix exists because that "one group of folks" faced the issue during BE testing. Looks like not much people care about CPUIdle on OMAP4. > It is nice to see it as a proof of concept, but I'd hate to see some > dead code lying around in kernel and folks blindly following suit and > introducing macros for new assembly for a feature that in practice > just one group of folks care about and creates additional burden for > rest of folks trying to keep that functionality going as we jump from > one "device tree" style churn to another "framework"?

In general I understand your concerns from previous e-mails, but I don't see a point to spend time for a generic solution for a single user. If there will be other platforms which need similar changes, then we can think of some generic solution. Let's drop this patch for now. We can just disable CPUidle for BE tasks or keep this patch forked.

I tend to think -> is this with OFF mode and CPUidle completely working? All context save and restore works with this? on HS and GP devices with BE mode builds? works on SDP4430,60 variations, considered reuse with AM43xx which could use parts of that logic? I mean to indicate that terms like "works on panda" tends always to be relative. It is nice to see it as a proof of concept, but I'd hate to see some dead code lying around in kernel and folks blindly following suit and introducing macros for new assembly for a feature that in practice just one group of folks care about and creates additional burden for rest of folks trying to keep that functionality going as we jump from one "device tree" style churn to another "framework"?

I see the approach we are attempting here is to do any interaction external to ARM boundary to go through the ARM_BE8 macro. If we want to make this something we can live with, then the platforms will have to ensure memory operations external to ARM must be operated upon by these macros. Instead, an approach that may be used is to introduce accessors macros that will provide right instruction based on BE/LE build and BE/LE SoC peripheral behavior. >>> is the idea of BE build meant to deal with having a single BE kernel build work for all platforms (including LE ones)? >>> >>> Sort of.

Personally, here is what I might expect to see: a) if we are going to force usage of BE and LE build options - then we *must* be able to reuse code across platforms without having to worry about breaking platform x etc.. b) this seems like - "take this code in" if something breaks, the guy who needs it later will come and fix - Shrug, I personally dont buy that. if something benefits many folks, lets all use it in upstream, if there is just an exception usage for a short duration which may impact code scalability and hard to maintain, keep it forked. c) considering this is non standard usage, some sort of regular test procedure and owner to ensure this feature is kept sane With out the above, we are just adding dead code IMHO.

Yes, I agree if it is outside of main use case it will get broken if not attended to. Definitely universe entropy increases :) - if left without attention things will decay.

Valid concern. From LNG BE group point of view it is not "we can do it". It is more like we've done it. We have Pandaboard ES running BE kernel for a while. It is in LNG BE tree. We used it as development and testing vehicle for BE work for a while. We are very grateful to the platform for that - it is affordable and easily available! Given, beyond ongoing BE testing on Pandaboard in LNG there may not be valid use case for further things on OMAP4 BE. We had discussion with Santosh Shilimkar from TI during last Linaro connect what to do with LNG BE Pandaboard series. Santosh suggested and we agreed that we would try to contribute them back to community. And that is what Taras is doing. IMHO even though there may not be real product use case for BE OMAP4, it could serve in kernel source as good example that shows how to work with LE periphery from BE kernel. After all, these changes are noop for LE case and they don't introduce a lot of clutter: all BE asm rev and rev16 instructions wrapped around with ARM_BE8 macro.

ARM core is capable of running in LE or BE modes. Yes, OMAP memory mapped periphery gives data in LE form. When core runs in BE mode after reading h/w register it will byteswap it, also before writing h/w register it byteswap it. In such way BE kernel can work with LE periphery. When it comes to C code that works with LE periphery, if correct access functions are used like readl_relaxed and writel_relaxed (vs __raw_readl and __raw_writel), the functions will take care of the swaps. In case of asm files there is no other way than to insert those byteswaps manually and conditionally - they will be enabled only if kernel compiled in BE mode. The reason why it could be done only manually is that load/store opcodes behavior changes when core runs in BE mode (E bit set) in these case ldr/str treat memory as big endian. So when LE periphery register is read/stored additional byteswaps that compensate for it should be inserted. When BE kernel is built Makefile does take of compiling code in BE mode. I.e all proper flags like -mbig-endian and -Wl,--be8 will be set. > is the idea of BE build meant to deal with having a single BE kernel > build work for all platforms (including LE ones)? Sort of.

So I dont get the rationale for changing the assembly here - yes, if the assembly can be maintained as LE only mode and the build handling be adequately handled in Makefile (similar to SMC handling), that would be the best. ARM core is capable of running in LE or BE modes. Yes, OMAP memory mapped periphery gives data in LE form. When core runs in BE mode after reading h/w register it will byteswap it, also before writing h/w register it byteswap it. In such way BE kernel can work with LE periphery. When it comes to C code that works with LE periphery, if correct access functions are used like readl_relaxed and writel_relaxed (vs __raw_readl and __raw_writel), the functions will take care of the swaps. In case of asm files there is no other way than to insert those byteswaps manually and conditionally - they will be enabled only if kernel compiled in BE mode. The reason why it could be done only manually is that load/store opcodes behavior changes when core runs in BE mode (E bit set) in these case ldr/str treat memory as big endian. So when LE periphery register is read/stored additional byteswaps that compensate for it should be inserted. When BE kernel is built Makefile does take of compiling code in BE mode. I.e all proper flags like -mbig-endian and -Wl,--be8 will be set. is the idea of BE build meant to deal with having a single BE kernel build work for all platforms (including LE ones)? Sort of.

Personally, here is what I might expect to see: a) if we are going to force usage of BE and LE build options - then we *must* be able to reuse code across platforms without having to worry about breaking platform x etc.. b) this seems like - take this code in if something breaks, the guy who needs it later will come and fix - Shrug, I personally dont buy that. if something benefits many folks, lets all use it in upstream, if there is just an exception usage for a short duration which may impact code scalability and hard to maintain, keep it forked. c) considering this is non standard usage, some sort of regular test procedure and owner to ensure this feature is kept sane With out the above, we are just adding dead code IMHO.

I mean to indicate that terms like works on panda tends always to be relative. Nishanth, let's be objective here. CPUidle on 4460 does *not* work in mainline for at least two kernel releases even for LE [1]. That fix exists because that one group of folks faced the issue during BE testing. Looks like not much people care about CPUIdle on OMAP4. It is nice to see it as a proof of concept, but I'd hate to see some dead code lying around in kernel and folks blindly following suit and introducing macros for new assembly for a feature that in practice just one group of folks care about and creates additional burden for rest of folks trying to keep that functionality going as we jump from one device tree style churn to another framework? Not to mean that good features should be kept away.. but personally, I could not find convincing arguments in this case.. In general I understand your concerns from previous e-mails, but I don't see a point to spend time for a generic solution for a single user. If there will be other platforms which need similar changes, then we can think of some generic solution. Let's drop this patch for now. We can just disable CPUidle for BE tasks or keep this patch forked.

OMAP4 is LE, and if there is a gcc flag for the same, is'nt it cleaner
to deal with it in Makefile rather than trying to make an assembly
meant only for LE by force building it for BE?

Re: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP4: sleep: byteswap data for big-endian
On 01/13/2014 09:03 AM, Taras Kondratiuk wrote:
From: Victor Kamensky victor.kamen...@linaro.org
Assembler functions defined in sleep44xx.S need to byteswap values
after read / before write from h/w register if code compiled in big
endian mode. Simple change to do 'rev x, x' before str instruction
and after ldr instruction that deals with h/w registers.

OMAP4 is LE, and if there is a gcc flag for the same, is'nt it cleaner
to deal with it in Makefile rather than trying to make an assembly
meant only for LE by force building it for BE?
