[PATCH v2 0/7] Introduce bus firewall controller framework

by Benjamin Gaignard

Bus firewall framework aims to provide a kernel API to set the configuration of the harware blocks in charge of busses access control. Framework architecture is inspirated by pinctrl framework: - a default configuration could be applied before bind the driver. If a configuration could not be applied the driver is not bind to avoid doing accesses on prohibited regions. - configurations could be apllied dynamically by drivers. - device node provides the bus firewall configurations. An example of bus firewall controller is STM32 ETZPC hardware block which got 3 possible configurations: - trust: hardware blocks are only accessible by software running on trust zone (i.e op-tee firmware). - non-secure: hardware blocks are accessible by non-secure software (i.e. linux kernel). - coprocessor: hardware blocks are only accessible by the coprocessor. Up to 94 hardware blocks of the soc could be managed by ETZPC. At least two other hardware blocks can take benefits of this: - ARM TZC-400: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.100325_0001_02_en/arm_core… which is able to manage up to 8 regions in address space. - IMX Ressource Domain Controller (RDC): supports four domains and up to eight regions Version 2 has been rebased on top of v5.5 - Change framework name to "firewall" because the targeted hardware block are acting like firewall on the busses. - Mark Brown had reviewed the previous version but it was on kernel 5.1 and I change the name framework so I have decided to remove it. - Use yaml file to describe the bindings Benjamin Benjamin Gaignard (7): dt-bindings: bus: Add firewall bindings bus: Introduce firewall controller framework base: Add calls to firewall controller dt-bindings: bus: Add STM32 ETZPC firewall controller bus: firewall: Add driver for STM32 ETZPC controller ARM: dts: stm32: Add firewall node for stm32mp157 SoC ARM: dts: stm32: enable firewall controller node on stm32mp157c-ed1 .../bindings/bus/firewall/firewall-consumer.yaml | 25 ++ .../bindings/bus/firewall/firewall-provider.yaml | 18 ++ .../bindings/bus/firewall/st,stm32-etzpc.yaml | 41 ++++ arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c-ev1.dts | 2 + arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp157c.dtsi | 7 + drivers/base/dd.c | 9 + drivers/bus/Kconfig | 2 + drivers/bus/Makefile | 2 + drivers/bus/firewall/Kconfig | 14 ++ drivers/bus/firewall/Makefile | 2 + drivers/bus/firewall/firewall.c | 264 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/bus/firewall/stm32-etzpc.c | 140 +++++++++++ include/dt-bindings/bus/firewall/stm32-etzpc.h | 90 +++++++ include/linux/firewall.h | 70 ++++++ 14 files changed, 686 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/firewall/firewall-consumer.yaml create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/firewall/firewall-provider.yaml create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/firewall/st,stm32-etzpc.yaml create mode 100644 drivers/bus/firewall/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/bus/firewall/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/bus/firewall/firewall.c create mode 100644 drivers/bus/firewall/stm32-etzpc.c create mode 100644 include/dt-bindings/bus/firewall/stm32-etzpc.h create mode 100644 include/linux/firewall.h -- 2.15.0

System Device Tree: description & explanation

by Stefano Stabellini

Hi all, During the last system device tree call, we agreed it would be helpful to have a document explaining how to use the proposed new device tree bindings to describe heterogeneous systems and solve typical problems, such as memory reservations for multiple domains, multiple interrupts controllers, etc. Tomas and I wrote the following document (also attached: feel free to use pandoc to convert it into html if you prefer to read it that way). It includes an introduction to system device tree, a short description of the bindings, and how to use them to solve common problems. I hope that it will help create a common understanding of the problems we are trying to solve and the potential solutions. I also attached the full system device tree example as reference. Cheers, Stefano System Device Tree Concepts =========================== System Device Trees extends traditional Device Trees to handle heterogeneous SoCs with multiple CPUs and Execution Domains. An Execution Domain can be seen as an address space that is running a software image, whether an operating system, a hypervisor or firmware that has a set of cpus, memory and devices attached to it. I.e. Each individual CPU/core that is not part of an SMP cluster is a separate Execution Domain as is the different Execution Levels on an ARMv8-A architecture. Trusted and not trusted environment can also be viewed as separate Execution Domains. A design goal of System Device Trees is that no current client of Device Trees should have to change at all, unless it wants to take advantage of the extra information. This means that Linux in particular does not need to change since it will see a Device Tree that it can handle with the current implementation, potentially with some extra information it can ignore. System Device Trees must handle two types of heterogeneous additions: 1. Being able to specify different cpu clusters and the actual memory and devices hard-wired to them - This is done through the new Hardware Descriptions, such as "cpu,cluster" and "indirect-bus" - This information is provided by the SoC vendor and is typically fixed for a given SoC/board 2. Being able to assign hardware resources that can be configured by software to be used by one or more Execution Domains - This is done through the Execution Domain configuration - This information is provided by a System Architect and will be different for different use cases, even for the same board - E.g. How much memory and which devices goes to Linux vs. an RTOS can be different from one boot to another - This information should be separated from the hard-wired information for two reasons - A different persona will add and edit the information - Configuration should be separated from specification since it has a different rate of change The System Device Trees and Execution Domain information are used in two major use cases: 1. Exclusively on the host by using a tool like Lopper that will "prune" the System Device Tree - Each domain will get its own "traditional" Device Tree that only sees one address space and has one "cpus" node, etc. - Lopper has pluggable backends to it can also generate information for clients that is using a different format - E.g. It can generate a bunch of "#defines" that can be included and compiled in to an RTOS 2. System Device Trees can be used by a "master" target environment that manages multiple Execution Domains: - a firmware that can set up hardware protection and use it to restart individual domains - E.g. Protect the Linux memory so the R5 OS can't reach it - any other operating system or hypervisor that has sub-domains - E.g. Xen can use the Execution Domains to get info about the Xen guests (also called domains) - E.g. Linux could use the default domain for its own configuration and the domains to manage other CPUs - Since System Device Trees are backwards compatible with Device Trees, the only changes needed in Linux would be any new code taking advantage of the Domain information - a default master has access to all resources (CPUs, memories, devices), it has to make sure it stops using the resource itself when it "gives it away" to a sub-domain There is a concept of a default Execution Domain in System Device Trees, which corresponds to /cpus. The default domain is compatible with the current traditional Device Tree. It is useful for a couple of reasons: 1. As a way to specify the default place to assign added hardware (see use case #1) - A default domain does not have to list the all the HW resources allocated to it. It gets everything not allocated elsewhere by Lopper. - This minimizes the amount of information needed in the Domain configuration. - This is also useful for dynamic hardware such as add-on boards and FPGA images that are adding new devices. 2. The default domain can be used to specify what a master environment sees (see use case #2) - E.g. the default domain is what is configuring Linux or Xen, while the other domains specify domains to be managed by the master System Device Tree Hardware Description ======================================= To turn system device tree into a reality we are introducing a few new concepts. They enable us to describe a system with multiple cpus clusters and potentially different address mappings for each of them (i.e. a device could be seen at different addresses from different cpus clusters). The new concepts are: - Multiple top level "cpus,cluster" nodes to describe heterogeneous CPU clusters. - "indirect-bus": a new type of bus that does not automatically map to the parent address space (i.e. not automatically visible). - An "address-map" property to express the different address mappings of the different cpus clusters and to map indirect-buses. The following is a brief example to show how they can be used together: /* default cluster */ cpus { cpu@0 { }; cpu@1 { }; }; /* additional R5 cluster */ cpus_r5: cpus-cluster@0 { compatible = "cpus,cluster"; /* specifies address mappings */ address-map = <0xf9000000 &amba_rpu 0xf9000000 0x10000>; cpu@0 { }; cpu@1 { }; }; amba_rpu: indirect-bus@f9000000 { compatible = "indirect-bus"; }; In this example we can see: - two cpus clusters, one of them is the default top-level cpus node - an indirect-bus "amba_rpu" which is not visible to the top-level cpus node - the cpus_r5 cluster can see amba_rpu because it is explicitly mapped using the address-map property Devices only physically accessible from one of the two clusters should be placed under an indirect-bus as appropriate. For instance, in the following example we can see how interrupts controllers are expressed: /* default cluster */ cpus { }; /* additional R5 cluster */ cpus_r5: cpus-cluster@0 { compatible = "cpus,cluster"; /* specifies address mappings */ address-map = <0xf9000000 &amba_rpu 0xf9000000 0x10000>; }; /* bus only accessible by cpus */ amba_apu: bus@f9000000 { compatible = "simple-bus"; gic_a72: interrupt-controller@f9000000 { }; }; /* bus only accessible by cpus_r5 */ amba_rpu: indirect-bus@f9000000 { compatible = "indirect-bus"; gic_r5: interrupt-controller@f9000000 { }; }; gic_a72 is accessible by /cpus, but not by cpus_r5, because amba_apu is not present in the address-map of cpus_r5. gic_r5 is visible to cpus_r5, because it is present in the address map of cpus_r5. gic_r5 is not visible to /cpus because indirect-bus doesn't automatically map to the parent address space, and /cpus doesn't have an address-map property in the example. Relying on the fact that each interrupt controller is correctly visible to the right cpus cluster, it is possible to express interrupt routing from a device to multiple clusters. For instance: amba: bus@f1000000 { compatible = "simple-bus"; ranges; #interrupt-cells = <3>; interrupt-map-pass-thru = <0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff>; interrupt-map-mask = <0x0 0x0 0x0>; interrupt-map = <0x0 0x0 0x0 &gic_a72 0x0 0x0 0x0>, <0x0 0x0 0x0 &gic_r5 0x0 0x0 0x0>; can@ff060000 { compatible = "xlnx,canfd-2.0"; reg = <0x0 0xff060000 0x0 0x6000>; interrupts = <0x0 0x14 0x1>; }; }; In this example, all devices under amba, including can@ff060000, have their interrupts routed to both gic_r5 and gic_a72. Memory only physically accessible by one of the clusters can be placed under an indirect-bus like any other device types. However, normal memory is usually physically accessible by all clusters. It is just a software configuration that splits memory into ranges and assigns a range for each execution domain. Software configurations are explained below. Execution Domains ================= An execution domain is a collection of software, firmware, and board configurations that enable an operating system or an application to run a cpus cluster. With multiple cpus clusters in a system it is natural to have multiple execution domains, at least one per cpus cluster. There can be more than one execution domain for each cluster, with virtualization or non-lockstep execution (for cpus clusters that support it). Execution domains are configured and added at a later stage by a software architect. Execution domains are expressed by a new node "openamp,domain" compatible. Being a configuration rather than a description, their natural place is under /chosen or under a similar new top-level node. In this example, I used /domains: domains { openamp_r5 { compatible = "openamp,domain-v1"; cpus = <&cpus_r5 0x2 0x80000000>; memory = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x8000000>; access = <&can@ff060000>; }; }; An openamp,domain node contains information about: - cpus: physical cpus on which the software is running on - memory: memory assigned to the domain - access: any devices configured to be only accessible by a domain The access list is an array of links to devices that are configured to be only accessible by an execution domain, using bus firewalls or similar technologies. The memory range assigned to an execution domain is expressed by the memory property. It needs to be a subset of the physical memory in the system. The memory property can also be used to express memory sharing between domains: domains { openamp_r5 { compatible = "openamp,domain-v1"; memory = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x8000000 0x8 0x0 0x0 0x10000>; }; openamp_a72 { compatible = "openamp,domain-v1"; memory = <0x0 0x8000000 0x0 0x80000000 0x8 0x0 0x0 0x10000>; }; }; In this example, a 16 pages range starting at 0x800000000 is shared between two domains. In a system device tree without a default cpus cluster (no top-level cpus node), lopper figures out memory assignment for each domain by looking at the memory property under each "openamp,domain" node. In a device tree with a top-level cpus cluster, and potentially a legacy OS running on it, we might want to "hide" the memory reservation for other clusters from /cpus. We can do that with /reserved-memory: reserved-memory { #address-cells = <0x2>; #size-cells = <0x2>; ranges; memory_r5@0 { compatible = "openamp,domain-memory-v1"; reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x8000000>; }; }; The purpose of memory_r5@0 is to let the default execution domain know that it shouldn't use the 0x0-0x8000000 memory range because it is reserved for use by other domains. /reserved-memory and /chosen are top-level nodes dedicated to configurations, rather than hardware description. Each execution domain might need similar configurations, hence, chosen and reserved-memory are also specified under each openamp,domain node for domains specific configurations. The top-level /reserved-memory and /chosen nodes remain in place for the default execution domain. As an example: /chosen -> configuration for a legacy OS running on /cpus /reserved-memory -> reserved memory for a legacy OS running on /cpus /domains/openamp_r5/chosen -> configuration for the domain "openamp_r5" /domains/openamp_r5/reserved-memory -> reserved memory for "openamp_r5"

System DT - thinking a sprint would help

by Steve McIntyre

Hi all! [ tl;dr - we're trying to organise a sprint - see the end ] Due to the Linux on Arm meetup this week, quite a few of our DT community happened to be in Cambridge together last night. We took the opportunity to get together for food and beer, and we naturally ended up mulling over a whole range of things, not least the ongoing System DT design work. As is the nature of this kind of gathering, we had a whole range of opinions and ideas, much more than I can faithfully recall to share here in great detail. Grant has been keen to try and keep system-dt compatible with Linux DT usage if that's possible, and Stefano has been working with that in mind. Rob is concerned about how things might scale with lots of domains, for example. Olof is keen to talk about a higher-level design to make it easier to express complex layouts. And so on. There is one thing that *did* stand out: we agreed that it's probably time to try and get all of the interested people in a room together for a few days with a whiteboard, to really thrash out what's needed and how to achieve it. With the right people, we can go through all our needs, pick up the ideas we have and hopefully get some prototypes ready to evaluate. So, who's interested? I believe all the people in CC here are likely keen to be involved. Anybody else? Although we have Linaro Connect in Budapest at the end of March, that's really *not* a good place to try and meet up, for a couple of reasons: not everybody will be there, and we'll have too many distractions to be able to focus on this. Let's *not* do that. AFAICS we're geographically roughly split between US/Canada and Europe, so I'm thinking a week in either the US or Europe, some time in the next 2-3 months: * Would a week before or after Connect work, in Europe (16th-20th March, or 30th March to 3rd April)? I can look for options in the UK easily, with maybe either Arm or Linaro hosting. * Alternatively, a week's meeting in the US, deliberately avoiding the Connect week so we don't wipe people out with travel: Maybe 2-6 or 9-13 March? Or push back into April if that's too short notice, of course. Would Xilinx be able to host something for us, maybe? Or another possibility might be the Linaro office in Nashua? I'm open to other suggestions for time and venue. Let's try to make something work here?

Week after Connect would work too. (before Connect is Netconf in Canada).

Re: [System-dt] System DT - thinking a sprint would help

by Stefano Stabellini

Hi Steve, A sprint sounds like a good idea. Xilinx would be very happy to host it here in San Jose, both March 2-6 (preferred) or March 9-13 would work. Otherwise, it would be challenging for Tomas and me to join a meeting in Europe outside of Linaro Connect. I know you suggested to rule out Linaro Connect, but I think we could make it work as a focused colocated event in Budapest the same week. Could that be an option?
