Cool. I will play around with it and get something tangible and meaningful.

That's right. The qcom_iommu.c solved a different issue of secure context bank
allocations, when Rob forked out this driver and reused some of the
arm-smmu.c stuff.

We will take a look at that once we start adding the qcom implementation.

I can't take this series without Acks on the firmware calling changes, and I
plan to send my 5.3 patches to Joerg at the end of the week so they get some
time in -next. In which case, I think it may be worth you having a play with
the branch above so we can get a better idea of any additional smmu_impl hooks
you may need.

Sure. Would you want me to try Robin's branch and take out the qualcomm
related stuff to its own implementation? Or, would you like me to respin this
series so that you can take it in to enable SDM845 boards such as, MTP
and dragonboard to have a sane build - debian, etc. so people benefit
out of it.
Qualcomm stuff is lying in qcom-smmu and arm-smmu and may take some
time to stub out the implementation related details.
Let me know your take.

This device tree property will still be valid when we handle the wait-for-safe
properly for sdm845.
("qcom,smmu-500-fw-impl-safe-errata") property represents just that the
firmware has handles to do the entire sequence -
* read the secure register
* set/reset the bits in the register to enable/disable wait-for-safe for certain
  devices.
And this is valid when firmware masks access to this register from any other
EE.
So we don't have to do anything that, for example, we were doing for sdm845
based cheza's firmware [1] that implements simple scm handlers to read/write
secure registers.

And fyi, some of the newer SoCs too have this logic, and kernel can have that
extra bit of page-table-ops to handle wait-safe toggling.

Looking at this branch quickly, it seem there can be separate implementation
level configuration file that can be added.
But will this also handle separate page

Generally, I'd agree that approaching this incrementally makes sense, but
in this case you're adding new device-tree properties
("qcom,smmu-500-fw-impl-safe-errata") in order to do so, which seems
questionable if they're only going to be used in the short-term and will
be obsolete once Linux knows how to drive the device properly.

Instead, I think this needs to be part of a separate file that is maintained
by you, which follows on from the work that Krishna is doing for nvidia
built on top of Robin's prototype patches:

http://linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-rm.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/iommu/smmu-impl

Once we have that, you can key this behaviour off the compatible string
rather than having to add quirk properties to reflect the transient needs of
Linux.

Krishna -- how have you been getting on with the branch above?

My only concern really is whether it's safe for us to turn this off. It's
clear that somebody went to a lot of effort to add this extra goodness to
the IP, but your benchmarks suggest they never actually tried it out after
they finished building it.

Is there some downside I'm not seeing from disabling this stuff?

We probably also need some co-ordination with Andy if we're going to
merge this, since he maintains the firmware calling code.

waiting for SAFE ack signals from real-time clients.

On MTP sdm845 devices, with wait-for-safe logic enabled at the boot time
by the bootloaders we see degraded performance of USB and UFS when kernel
enables the smmu stage-1 translations for these clients.
Turn off this wait-for-safe logic from the kernel gets us back the perf
of USB and UFS devices until we re-visit this when we start seeing perf
issues on display/camera on upstream supported SDM845 platforms.

Now, different bootloaders with their access control policies allow this
register access differently through secure monitor calls -
1) With one we can issue io-read/write secure monitor call (qcom-scm)
to update the register, while,
2) With other, such as one on MTP sdm845 we should use the specific
qcom-scm command to send request to do the complete register
configuration.
Adding a separate device tree flag for arm-smmu to identify which
firmware configuration of the two mentioned above we use.
Not adding code change to allow type-(1) bootloaders to toggle the
safe using io-read/write qcom-scm call.

This change is inspired by the downstream change from Patrick Daly
to address performance issues with display and camera by handling
this wait-for-safe within separte io-pagetable ops to do TLB
maintenance. So a big thanks to him for the change.

Without this change the UFS reads are pretty slow:

[PATCH v3 3/4] iommu/arm-smmu: Add support to handle Qcom's wait-for-safe logic

2019-06-12 Thread Vivek Gautam
Qcom's implementation of arm,mmu-500 adds a WAIT-FOR-SAFE logic
to address under-performance issues in real-time clients, such as
Display, and Camera.
On receiving an invalidation requests, the SMMU forwards SAFE request
to these clients and waits for SAFE ack signal from real-time clients.
The SAFE signal from such clients is used to qualify the start of
invalidation.
This logic is controlled by chicken bits, one for each - MDP (display),
IFE0, and IFE1 (camera), that can be accessed only from secure software
on sdm845.

This configuration, however, degrades the performance of non-real time
clients, such as USB, and UFS etc. This happens because, with wait-for-safe
logic enabled the hardware tries to throttle non-real time clients while
waiting for SAFE ack signals from real-time clients.

On MTP sdm845 devices, with wait-for-safe logic enabled at the boot time
by the bootloaders we see degraded performance of USB and UFS when kernel
enables the smmu stage-1 translations for these clients.
Turn off this wait-for-safe logic from the kernel gets us back the perf
of USB and UFS devices until we re-visit this when we start seeing perf
issues on display/camera on upstream supported SDM845 platforms.

Now, different bootloaders with their access control policies allow this
register access differently through secure monitor calls -
1) With one we can issue io-read/write secure monitor call (qcom-scm)
   to update the register, while,
2) With other, such as one on MTP sdm845 we should use the specific
   qcom-scm command to send request to do the complete register
   configuration.
Adding a separate device tree flag for arm-smmu to identify which
firmware configuration of the two mentioned above we use.
Not adding code change to allow type-(1) bootloaders to toggle the
safe using io-read/write qcom-scm call.

to address performance issues with display and camera by handling
