[v2,0/8] CXL Port Enumeration

Message

Dan Williams April 1, 2021, 2:30 p.m. UTC

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Add stronger rationale for the 'struct cxl_regs' arrangement that
  accommodates devices that compose register blocks mixing "component",
  "device", and "memory device" register sets. (Christoph)

- Reorganize root, address space, and port device creation into separate
  'alloc' and 'add' steps.

- Rename "upstream_port" to "port_host". This is the PCI or ACPI device
  that implements the CXL port capability.

- Rename @parent to @host in init routines to clarify the device that is
  the context for devm from the device-model parent of the device being
  created.

- Rename port.cxl_regs_phys to port.component_regs_phys

- Add initialization for
  cxl_root.port.{target_id,component_regs_phys,port_host}, where
  target_id and component_regs_phys are set to invalid values (do not
  apply to cxl_root as the first port under root is the first actual
  device in the system and port_host is the ACPI0017 device.

This series is a preview of the proposed infrastructure for enabling
dynamic mapping of Host-managed Device Memory (HDM) Decoders. It
includes a not-for-upstream hack at the tail of the series to stand-in
for the in-flight ACPICA enabling. The goal is to get review of the
proposal in parallel with other in-flight dependencies. The next step
after this is to add dynamic enumeration and assignment of HDM Decoders
in coordination with per-cxl_port driver instances.

---

The enumeration starts with the ACPI0017 driver registering a 'struct
cxl_root' object to establish the top of a cxl_port topology. It then
scans the ACPI bus looking for ACPI0016 instances. The cxl_root object
is a singleton* anchor to hang "address-space" objects and be a parent
device for the downstream 'struct cxl_port' instances. An address-space
has a 1:1 relationship with a platform defined memory resource range,
like _CRS for PCIE Host Bridges. Use module parameters to model a
root-level HDM decoder that all downstream ports further decode, to be
replaced with a Code First ECN to do the same.

Each address space is modeled as a sysfs object that also shows up in
/proc/iomem as "CXL Address Space". That iomem resource is functionally
equivalent to the root-level 'PCI Bus' resources for PCIE.mmio while
'CXL Address Space' indicates space for CXL.mem to be mapped. "System
RAM" and "Persistent Memory", when mapped by HDM decoders, will appear
as child CXL.mem resources.

Once a 'struct cxl_root' is established the host bridge is modeled as 1
upstream 'struct cxl_port' and N downstream 'struct cxl_port' instances
(one per Root Port), just like a PCIE switch. The host-bridge upstream
port optionally has the HDM decoder registers from the CHBCR if the
host-bridge has multiple PCIE/CXL root ports. Single-ported host bridges
will not have HDM decoders in the CHBCR space (see CHBCR note in
8.2.5.12 CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure), but the 'struct
cxl_port' object is still needed to represent other CXL capabilities and
access port-specific component registers outside of HDM decoders.

Each 'struct cxl_port' has a 'target_id' attribute that answers the
question "what port am I in my upstream port's HDM decoder target
list?". For the host-bridge struct cxl_port, the first tier of ports
below cxl_root.port, the id is derived from the ordinal mapping of the
ACPI0016 id (instance id, _UID, or other handle TBD), for all other
ports the id is the PCIE Root Port ID from the Link Capabilities
register [1]. The mapping of ordinal port identifiers relative to their
parent may change once libcxl and cxl-cli prove out region creation, or
a better option is found to establish a static device path / persistent
naming scheme. System software must not assume that 'struct cxl_port'
device names will be static from one boot to the next.

See patch7 for a tree(1) topology picture of what QEMU is producing
today with this enabling.

* cxl_root is singleton only by convention. A given cxl_root could
  represent 1 to N address spaces, this patch set chooses to implement 1
  cxl_root for all address spaces.
