| Series | [v2,1/3] riscv: obtain ACPI RSDP from FFI. | expand |
Hey, %subject: riscv: obtain ACPI RSDP from FFI. This subject is a bit unhelpful because FFI would commonly mean "foreign function interface" & you have not yet introduced it. It seems like it would be better to do s/FFI/devicetree/ or similar. Please also drop the full stop from the commit messages ;) Please use a cover letter for multi-patch series & include changelogs. +CC Sunil, Alex: Can you guys please take a look at this & see if it is something that we want to do (ACPI without EFI)?

The current booting contract between firmware and OS is to pass only one of DT or ACPI, not both. This approach brings another booting contract for Linux mixing ACPI and DT which affects RVI specs. As per policy and since it can affect multiple OSs, a frozen RVI spec is required for taking this patch into linux. So, could you please bring this topic for discussion in [1] and get agreement? Isn't it simpler to provide a minimum UEFI configuration table and stubbed BS/RS? Have you done a PoC? I am curious how do you handle EFI memory map dependencies. In case this is approved, I am wondering why do we need new FFI? [1] - https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-brs Thanks! Sunil

You are right, s/FFI/devicetree/ is of course possible， but I actually want to use FFI as a general solution, put all relevant codes under driver/firmware/, and use RISC-V arch to call general codes. In this case, only one Kconfig CONFIG_FDT_FW_INTERFACE is enough， and The FFI code will be placed first in the patchset. But Ard's suggestion is to put the part of SMBIOS in the generic code, and put the FFI for ACPI in the RISCV arch. Please see the v1: https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/20230426034001.16-1-cuiyunhui@bytedance.com/ Put the following to /driver/firmware/ffi.c , What do you think? void __init ffi_acpi_root_pointer(void) { ... } > Please also drop the full stop from the commit messages ;) Okay, thanks. > > Please use a cover letter for multi-patch series & include changelogs.

My point is that the commit message has gaps in it. This point b & point 1 make it seem like this patch adds ACPI support to an architecture that only supports devicetree. "DTS channel" needs to be explained further, to be frank I have no idea what that means. Does it mean that coreboot on RISC-V only supports DT, or that the RISC-V linux kernel requires a mini-DT when booting with EFI? > > > 2.

Right, but that has nothing to do with this patch? This patch only implements the ACPI side of things for RISC-V, it doesn't do the SMBIOS stuff.

The first half sentence has already said "When booting with Coreboot, we encounter two problems:" How about changing the commit log to the following? riscv: obtain ACPI RSDP from devicetree. On RISC-V, when using Coreboot to start, since Coreboot only supports DTS but not EFI, and RISC-V does not have a reserved address segment.

What I meant is that variables & functions in /arch/riscv are often prefixed with riscv_. I was saying that you could change "arch_acpi_rsdp" to "riscv_acpi_rsdp". Thanks, Conor.

In fact, he expressly said that it would then be up to the RISC-V maintainers as to what to do: But please check with the RISC-V maintainers if they are up for this, and whether they want to see this mechanism contributed to one of the pertinent specifications.

If anything we should be removing option 1, because that’s not a cross-OS standard (though RISC-V’s SBI direct booting is at least not tied to the OS). Any application-class platform spec is going to mandate EFI, because, whatever your thoughts of EFI are, that is *the* standard. And if you’re willing to pick up all the complexity of ACPI, what’s a bit of EFI (especially if you only go for a minimal one a la U-Boot)? Jess >>> I'm not a big fan of adding yet another interface.

Yunhui, why not simply add a minimal UEFI stub to Coreboot (like Jess points out above)? IMO what U-boot (or https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/rust-hypervisor-firmware if you're into Rust ;-)) is doing, and just having a small UEFI shim is the way to go.

In fact, in the v1 email, Coreboot's maintainer Ron has made it clear that Coreboot does not support EFI, and it is necessary to transmit firmware information through DTS on RISC-V. @Ron, can you help explain it to them? > IMO what U-boot (or > https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/rust-hypervisor-firmware if you're > into Rust ;-)) is doing, and just having a small UEFI shim is the way to > go.

It clear that Coreboot doesn't support UEFI today. We're "arguing" that it's less work/verification adding the neccesary minimal UEFI plumbing for Coreboot, than jumping through hoops in the kernel to work around it. I'm getting some UEFI FUD vibes here. I also think that parts of UEFI is kind of ugly, but it's, as Jess says, *the* spec and honestly, a bit what's expected (Hi CXL). UEFI is a specification, and implementing the minimal requirements for UEFI is not that of a big deal. Look at Alex Graf's (et al) work on u-boot UEFI. U-boot is small/lean/open *and* manage to support enough UEFI for ACPI. The whole "Oh, UEFI is so bad, bloated, and closed" hand-wavery is a bit tiring. :-( ...these last four sections is more of a beer discussion. I'll take my "my FW is better than yours" rants elsewhere. ;-) Björn

I noted that the discussion continued from Ard's reply (which, no surprise, resonates with my worldview :-)): https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/CAMj1kXFZren0Q19DimwQaETCLz64D4bZQC5B2N=i3SAWHygkTQ@mail.gmail.com/ Let's continue there.

1. We need to enable the ACPI function on RISC-V. When booting with Coreboot, we encounter two problems: a. Coreboot does not support EFI b. On RISC-V, only the DTS channel can be used. 2. Based on this, we have added an interface for obtaining firmware information transfer through FDT, named FFI. 3. We not only use FFI to pass ACPI RSDP, but also pass other firmware information as an extension.
