Oh, yeah, that'd be good. I'll include better comments in v2.

I know what XOR does.  I was thinking a more high-level comment would be 
appropriate.  With E44, we want to ignore the BUSY bit and use TXFE instead. 
So was hoping to a comment that says that:


/* Normally, we poll until BUSY=0, but E44 says we should poll until TXFE=1 
instead. So with E44, we set fr_busy to TXFE, but we have to invert it. */

The current struct definitions appear to (ab)use implicit

I should have matched full 32 bit MIDR values, but I masked off the revision
number after careful investigation of current and future known MIDR values
and system pairings because MIDR_FOO isn't actually a 32 bit MIDR value as
the name would suggest but has variant and revision zeroed. The CPU in the
QDF2432 has a non-zero revision number and I didn't want to try to add an
unprecedented revision number to cputype.h after Will told me I wasn't
allowed to play with CPU toys for SoC games.

I'm going to stop using MIDR, but as an aside, there are two very different
CPUs, which may require different CPU errata workarounds, that (by accident)
only differ by the variant field. Robert Richter's recent MIDR_CPU_VAR_REV
is a welcome clarification.

> No, only Kryo and Falkor V1 based SOCs have this problem. Falkor V2
> will have this fixed.

A year ago, we were operating under the incorrect-in-hindsight assumption
that the QDF2400 v1 SoC with Falkor v1 CPU would have this fixed.

As for alternative means of identifying the errant hardware, I think that I
or a colleague will experiment with the approach used for ACPI PCI quirks:
checking the OEM ID, OEM Table ID, and OEM Revision. In this case, those
header fields would come from the Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR)
table, rather than the PCI-specific MCFG table.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5b69b85ba1ddd36be01f5c57830b37a3c8256009

Regarding ongoing support, I don't see any disagreement that the code must
be supported and maintained for the life of the hardware, however many years
that ends up being.

Thanks,
Cov

Qualcomm.

Ok. Then please identify the system as a whole (i.e. the SoC), and not

ACPI and DT have pretty much the exact same set of issues w.r.t.
long term maintenance and support.

The important step is raising issues early, rather than shipping FW with
values that are not known to work (or known to not work)...

There are other way of identifying the system, if you look further than
the device.

Are we to take it that every SoC now and always with any Kryo or Falkor
core which also has an SBSA UART will require this workaround?


No, only Kryo and Falkor V1 based SOCs have this problem.  Falkor V2 will have 
this fixed.  We intend to revert these fixes after Falkor V1 SOCs are no longer 
supported.


> There's a

guarantee that the UART itself will definitely never be fixed in some
future revision? That it'll never be integrated into, say, some
Kryo/Cortex-Axx big.LITTLE system where you do still need the
workaround, but might be making this check on the wrong core?


We are sure that this erratum is restricted to those specific SOCs.



If there's really no suitable ID register to identify this particular
UART implementation, it probably needs to be described appropriately by
the firmware - I can't claim knowledge of how that works under ACPI, but
I do note that the only device ID currently being matched is "ARMH0011",
which seems to me to be inappropriate to describe something which is not
an ARM PL011, bugs or no bugs.


ACPI is not like device tree.  You can't just define a "qcom,needs-busy-bit-fix" 
property and call it a day.


If you're saying that we should create a new ACPI HID, like QCOM0011, that 
probably would have worked as well, except hindsight is 20/20, and we already 
have firmware in the field.

Is there a reason anyone would ever want to turn this off? AFAICS you
save a few dozen bytes in return for a kernel image which you know won't
work properly on some hardware. That doesn't seem particularly
worthwhile, and it's not like the PL011 driver isn't already ripe with
unconditional vendor-specific data.

Re: [PATCH 1/2] tty: pl011: Work around QDF2400 E44 stuck BUSY bit

Changes between the previous RFC [1] and this PATCH:
* don't use arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c at Will's request
* separate out earlycon case to separate patch
* rework earlycon case to not depend on UAP as suggested by Timur

Because they need a newly-defined MIDR values, the patches are currently
based on:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/core

I'm not confident that I know the best route for these two patches. Should
I request Catalin and Will to take them via arm64 as the essential MIDR
additions are their purview?

Thanks Russell for the ack. Compared to the RFC, I've made minor changes to
what is now patch 1/2 and am making an educated guess that the ack sticks
(but if not please let me know). Patch 2/2 is significantly revised from
the RFC so I've not included the ack on it.
