It is built on the premise that System on Chip (SoC) +or subsystem part of SoC crashes, due to a range of hardware and +software bugs. Hence, the ability to collect accurate data is only +a best-effort. The data collected could be invalid or corrupted, data +collection itself could fail, and so on. + +Qualcomm devices in engineering mode provides a mechanism for generating +full system RAM dumps for post-mortem debugging. But in some cases it's +however not feasible to capture the entire content of RAM. The minidump +mechanism provides the means for selected region should be included in +the ramdump. + + +:: + + +-----------------------------------------------+ + | DDR +-------------+ | + | | SS0-ToC| | + | +----------------+ +----------------+ | | + | |Shared memory | | SS1-ToC| | | + | |(SMEM) | | | | | + | | | +-->|--------+ | | | + | |G-ToC | | | SS-ToC \ | | | + | |+-------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | + | ||-------------| | | | |-----------| | | | + | || SS0-ToC | | | +-|<|SS1 region1| | | | + | ||-------------| | | | | |-----------| | | | + | || SS1-ToC |-|>+ | | |SS1 region2| | | | + | ||-------------| | | | |-----------| | | | + | || SS2-ToC | | | | | ... | | | | + | ||-------------| | | | |-----------| | | | + | || ... | | |-|<|SS1 regionN| | | | + | ||-------------| | | | |-----------| | | | + | || SSn-ToC | | | | +-----------+ | | | + | |+-------------+ | | | | | | + | | | | |----------------| | | + | | | +>| regionN | | | + | | | | |----------------| | | + | +----------------+ | | | | | + | | |----------------| | | + | +>| region1 | | | + | |----------------| | | + | | | | | + | |----------------|-+ | + | | region5 | | + | |----------------| | + | | | | + | Region information +----------------+ | + | +---------------+ | + | |region name | | + | |---------------| | + | |region address | | + | |---------------| | + | |region size | | + | +---------------+ | + +-----------------------------------------------+ + G-ToC: Global table of contents + SS-ToC: Subsystem table of contents + SS0-SSn: Subsystem numbered from 0 to n + +It depends on SoC where the underlying firmware is keeping the +minidump global table taking care of subsystem ToC part for +minidump like for above diagram, it is for shared memory sitting +in DDR and it is shared among various master however it is possible +that this could be implemented via memory mapped regions but the +general idea should remain same. Here, various subsystem could be +DSP's like ADSP/CDSP/MODEM etc, along with Application processor +(APSS) where Linux runs. DSP minidump gets collected when DSP's goes +for recovery followed by a crash. The minidump part of code for +that resides in ``qcom_rproc_minidump.c``. + + +SMEM as backend +---------------- + +In this document, SMEM will be used as the backend implementation +of minidump. + +The core of minidump feature is part of Qualcomm's boot firmware code. +It initializes shared memory (SMEM), which is a part of DDR and +allocates a small section of it to minidump table, i.e. also called +global table of contents (G-ToC). Each subsystem (APSS, ADSP, ...) has +its own table of segments to be included in the minidump, all +references from a descriptor in SMEM (G-ToC). Each segment/region has +some details like name, physical address and its size etc. and it +could be anywhere scattered in the DDR. + +Qualcomm APSS Minidump kernel driver concept +-------------------------------------------- +:: + +Qualcomm APSS minidump kernel driver adds the capability to add Linux +region to be dumped as part of RAM dump collection. At the moment, +shared memory driver creates platform device for minidump driver and +give a means to APSS minidump to initialize itself on probe. + +This driver provides ``qcom_minidump_region_register`` and +``qcom_minidump_region_unregister`` API's to register and unregister +APSS minidump region. It also supports registration for the clients +who came before minidump driver was initialized. It maintains pending +list of clients who came before minidump and once minidump is initialized +it registers them in one go. + +To simplify post-mortem debugging, driver creates and maintain an ELF +header as first region that gets updated each time a new region gets +registered. + +The solution supports extracting the RAM dump/minidump produced either +over USB or stored to an attached storage device. + +Dependency of minidump kernel driver +------------------------------------ + +It is to note that whole of minidump depends on Qualcomm boot firmware +whether it supports minidump or not. So, if the minidump SMEM ID is +present in shared memory, it indicates that minidump is supported from +boot firmware and it is possible to dump Linux (APSS) region as part +of minidump collection. + +How a kernel client driver can register region with minidump +------------------------------------------------------------ + +Client driver can use ``qcom_minidump_region_register`` API's to register +and ``qcom_minidump_region_unregister`` to unregister their region from +minidump driver. + +Client needs to fill their region by filling ``qcom_minidump_region`` +structure object which consists of the region name, region's virtual +and physical address and its size. + +Below, is one sample client driver snippet which tries to allocate a +region from kernel heap of certain size and it writes a certain known +pattern (that can help in verification after collection that we got +the exact pattern, what we wrote) and registers it with minidump. + + .. code-block:: c + + #include + [...] + + + [... inside a function ...] + struct qcom_minidump_region region; + + [...] + + client_mem_region = kzalloc(region_size, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!client_mem_region) + return -ENOMEM; + + [...

Fill up the region object ...] + strlcpy(region.name, "REGION_A", sizeof(region.name)); + region.virt_addr = client_mem_region; + region.phys_addr = virt_to_phys(client_mem_region); + region.size = region_size; + + ret = qcom_minidump_region_register(®ion); + if (ret < 0) { + pr_err("failed to add region in minidump: err: %d\n", ret); + return ret; + } + + [...] + + +Test +---- + +Existing Qualcomm devices already supports entire RAM dump (also called +full dump) by writing appropriate value to Qualcomm's top control and +status register (tcsr) in ``driver/firmware/qcom_scm.c`` . + +SCM device Tree bindings required to support download mode +For example (sm8450) :: + + / { + + [...] + + firmware { + scm: scm { + compatible = "qcom,scm-sm8450", "qcom,scm"; + [... tcsr register ... ] + qcom,dload-mode = <&tcsr 0x13000>; + + [...] + }; + }; + + [...] + + soc: soc@0 { + + [...] + + tcsr: syscon@1fc0000 { + compatible = "qcom,sm8450-tcsr", "syscon"; + reg = <0x0 0x1fc0000 0x0 0x30000>; + }; + + [...] + }; + [...] + + }; + +User of minidump can pass ``qcom_scm.download_mode="mini"`` to kernel +commandline to set the current download mode to minidump. +Similarly, ``"full"`` is passed to set the download mode to full dump +where entire RAM dump will be collected while setting it ``"full,mini"`` +will collect minidump along with fulldump. + +Writing to sysfs node can also be used to set the mode to minidump:: + + echo "mini" > /sys/module/qcom_scm/parameter/download_mode + +Once the download mode is set, any kind of crash will make the device collect +respective dump as per set download mode. + +Dump collection +--------------- + + +-----------+ + | | + | | +------+ + | | | | + | | +--+---+ Product(Qualcomm SoC) + +-----------+ | + |+++++++++++|<------------+ + |+++++++++++| usb cable + +-----------+ + x86_64 PC + +The solution supports a product running with Qualcomm SoC (where minidump) +is supported from the firmware) connected to x86_64 host PC running PCAT +tool. It supports downloading the minidump produced from product to the +host PC over USB or to save the minidump to the product attached storage +device(UFS/eMMC/SD Card) into minidump dedicated partition. + +By default, dumps are downloaded via USB to the attached x86_64 PC running +PCAT (Qualcomm tool) software. Upon download, we will see a set of binary +blobs starting with name ``md_*`` in PCAT configured directory in x86_64 +machine, so for above example from the client it will be ``md_REGION_A.BIN``. +This binary blob depends on region content to determine whether it needs +external parser support to get the content of the region, so for simple +plain ASCII text we don't need any parsing and the content can be seen +just opening the binary file. + +To collect the dump to attached storage type, one needs to write appropriate +value to IMEM register, in that case dumps are collected in rawdump +partition on the product device itself. + +One needs to read the entire rawdump partition and pull out content to +save it onto the attached x86_64 machine over USB. Later, this rawdump +can be passed to another tool (``dexter.exe`` [Qualcomm tool]) which +converts this into the similar binary blobs which we have got it when +download type was set to USB, i.e. a set of registered regions as blobs +and their name starts with ``md_*``. + +Replacing the ``dexter.exe`` with some open source tool can be added as future +scope of this document.
