Yu-Chien Peter Lin Oct. 19, 2023, 2:01 p.m. UTC
The custom PMU extension was developed to support perf event sampling
prior to the ratification of Sscofpmf. Instead of utilizing the standard
bits and CSR of Sscofpmf, a set of custom CSRs is added. So we may
consider it as a CPU feature rather than an erratum.

T-Head cores need to append "xtheadpmu" to the riscv,isa-extensions
for each cpu node in device tree, and enable CONFIG_THEAD_CUSTOM_PMU
for proper functioning as of this commit.

Hi All,

This is in preparation for introducing other PMU alternative.
We follow Conor's suggestion [1] to use cpu feature alternative
framework rather than errta, if you want to stick with errata
alternative or have other issues, please let me know. Thanks.

IMO, this should be "RISC-V, perf:" or just "RISC-V" as the changes
being made to the arch code are far more meaningful than those
elsewhere.

And in doing so, you regress break perf for existing DTs :(
You didn't add the property to existing DTS in-kernel either, so if this
series was applied, perf would just entirely stop working, no?

Personally, I like this conversion, but it is going to regress support
for perf on any T-Head cores which may be a bitter pill to get people to
actually accept...
Perhaps we could add this "improved" detection in parallel, and
eventually remove the m*id based stuff in the future.

Again, this would need to be documented in the dt-binding to be
acceptable.

Can all of the m*id checks be removed, since the firmware is now
explicitly telling us that the T-Head PMU is supported?

OK will update the subject to "RISC-V:"

Only `perf record/top` stop working I think.

There are too many users out there, and don't have the boards to
test, so leave those DTS unchanged, it would be great if T-Head
community could help to check/update their DTS.

I can only comfirm that boards with "allwinner,sun20i-d1" compatible
string uses the T-Head PMU device callbacks.

So, there are too many users to add xtheadpmu to the devicetrees, but
not too many users to make changes that will cause a regression?
I'm not following the logic here, sorry.

I'm not sure how that is an answer to my question.

humm, I'll try. I assume that the sun20i-d1s.dtsi is all I need
to update for T-Head PMU.

Sorry for that unclear answer.
Yes, I agree we no longer need to check the m*id here.

In OpenSBI, it appears that allwinner D1 is the only platform that
has T-Head PMU support, the other T-Head platforms need to ensure
that the callbacks [1] are registered in order to work with SBI
PMU driver in kernel.

I think you can actually add it to all users of T-Head CPUs currently in
mainline since all those cpus report the 0 mimpid and 0 marchid that is
being used as the detection method in the current code.

That said, changing the in-kernel devicetrees doesn't solve the
regression problem. Not every dts lives in the linux codebase, for
example, and just because they don't, doesn't mean we can just not
care about them!

As a result, I don't think that we can just do a conversion here from
one method to another like this, since it's likely to break things for
people. Certainly interested in hearing from those that support the
T-Head IP based SoCs about whether they'd be okay with something like
this.

There may be forks of OpenSBI, or other SBI providers, in use that
configure this correctly for other SoCs with T-Head cores, so while this
is a good indicator, it can't really be taken as gospel. Although, the
T-Head vendor fork can be ignored, as that doesn't even seem to be
capable of booting mainline kernels, given recent issues with the th1520
systems.

Cheers,
Conor.

PMU support is not required to boot, and it didn't really work correctly anyway
until OpenSBI commit c9a296d0edc9 ("platform: generic: allwinner: fix OF process
for T-HEAD c9xx pmu"), which is still not in any released OpenSBI version.

So I am fine with requiring a devicetree update for continued PMU support.

Samuel
