[PATCH v4 00/18] Apple M1 SoC platform bring-up

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series brings up initial support for the Apple M1 SoC, used in the
2020 Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models.

The following features are supported in this initial port:

- UART (samsung-style) with earlycon support
- Interrupts, including affinity and IPIs (Apple Interrupt Controller)
- SMP (through standard spin-table support)
- simplefb-based framebuffer
- Devicetree for the Mac Mini (should work for the others too at this
  stage)

See below for an overview of changes since v3.

== Merge notes ==

This patchset has several dependencies:

* Build dep on the FIQ support series in [1].
* Runtime dep on the Samsung TTY changes in tty-next (modulo DT validation).
* Runtime dep on the nVHE changes being reviewed in [2].

A tree containing this patchset on top of the required dependencies is
available at [3][4], for those who want to test it.

This series is expected to be merged by Arnd via the SoC tree.
Maintainers, please ack if you are happy with the patches. We will
coordinate with Arnd and Mark on the FIQ series to make sure all
that goes smoothly.

== Testing notes ==

This has been tested on an Apple M1 Mac Mini booting to a framebuffer
and serial console, with SMP and KASLR, with an arm64 defconfig
(+ CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE for the fb). In addition, the AIC driver now supports
running in EL1, tested in UP mode only.

== Patch overview ==

- 01-02 Core platform DT bindings
- 03-04 CPU DT bindings and MIDR defines
- 05-06 Add interrupt-names support to the ARM timer driver
        This is used to cleanly express the lack of a secure timer;
        platforms in the past have used various hacks like dummy
        IRQs here.
- 07-12 ioremap_np() (nGnRnE) support
        The fabric in these SoCs only supports nGnRnE accesses for
        standard MMIO, except for PCI ranges which use nGnRE. Linux
        currently defaults to the latter on ARM64, so this adds a new
        ioremap type and DT properties to automatically select it for
        drivers using OF and devm abstractions, under buses specified
        in DT.
- 13-15 AIC (Apple Interrupt Controller) driver and support defines
        This also embeds FIQ handling for this platform.
- 16    Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_APPLE & add it to defconfig
- 17    simple-framebuffer bindings for Apple (trivial)
- 18    Add the initial M1 Mac Mini (j274) devicetree

== About the hardware ==

These machines officially support booting unsigned/user-provided
XNU-like kernels, with a very different boot protocol and devicetree
format. We are developing an initial bootloader, m1n1 [1], to take care
of as many hardware peculiarities as possible and present a standard
Linux arm64 boot protocol and device tree. In the future, I expect that
production setups will add U-Boot and perhaps GRUB into the boot chain,
to make the boot process similar to other ARM64 platforms.

The machines expose their debug UART over USB Type C, triggered with
vendor-specific USB-PD commands. Currently, the easiest way to get a
serial console on these machines is to use a second M1 box and a simple
USB C cable [2]. You can also build a DIY interface using an Arduino, a
FUSB302 chip or board, and a 1.2V UART-TTL adapter [3]. In the coming
weeks we will be designing an open hardware project to provide
serial/debug connectivity to these machines (and, hopefully, also
support other UART-over-Type C setups from other vendors). Please
contact me privately if you are interested in getting an early prototype
version of one of these devices.

We also have WIP/not merged yet support for loading kernels and
interacting via dwc3 usb-gadget, which works with a standard C-C or C-A
cable and any Linux host.

A quickstart guide to booting Linux kernels on these machines is
available at [4], and we are documenting the hardware at [5].

== Changes since v3 ==

* Serial patches have already been merged into tty-next and are
  no longer included
* nVHE fixup patches are being reviewed separately and no longer
  part of this series
* Updated arm,arch-timer bindings to be more restrictive, renamed
  phys-secure to sec-phys
* Reordered ioremap() variants list in device-io.rst
* Removed sysreg_apple.h (defines are in drivers now)
* Many cleanups, bug fixes, and reworks to AIC, including some bug
  fixes from Marc's KVM series, kernel as EL1 support, and more.
* Simplified non-posted MMIO DT handling to only apply to direct
  children of a bus, and only use "nonposted-mmio". Removed quirk
  optimization.
* Implemented default pci_remap_cfgspace() in terms of ioremap_np()
  and removed arch-specific pci_remap_cfgspace override for arm64
  (arm32 can come later)
* Replaced license in AIC bindings header with GPL-2.0+ OR MIT
* Other minor typo/style fixes
