This patch is definitely nicer than previous version. Thx. > Starting from ARC HS v3.0 From the STAR fix, it seem this was fixed in HS 2.1c, so you should be able to test it on HSDK, which was my next question: where and how did you test this and verify that it works as we think it does. I tried the patch on HSDK and I still see the rcu_preempt self-detected stall error splat when running hackbench and pausing the target with Metaware debugger. Perhaps we need to write a small test case to check what's going on. Also try that on AXS103 release which is definitely HS 3.0 ! > it's possible to tie GFRC to state of up-to 4 > ARC cores with help of GFRC's CORE register where we set a mask for > cores which state we need to rely on. > > Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev <Eugeniy.Paltsev at synopsys.com> > Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin at synopsys.com> > --- > NOTE: with this patch previous patch is not required: > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/875091/ > > arch/arc/kernel/mcip.c | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ > include/soc/arc/mcip.h | 2 ++ > 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/arc/kernel/mcip.c b/arch/arc/kernel/mcip.c > index f61a52b..e87a4ea 100644 > --- a/arch/arc/kernel/mcip.c > +++ b/arch/arc/kernel/mcip.c > @@ -22,10 +22,33 @@ static DEFINE_RAW_SPINLOCK(mcip_lock); > > static char smp_cpuinfo_buf[128]; > > +/* > + * Set mask to halt GFRC if any online core in SMP cluster is halted. > + * Only works for ARC HS v3.0+, on earlier versions has no effect. > + */ > +static void mcip_update_gfrc_halt_mask(int cpu) > +{ > + struct mcip_bcr mp; > + u32 gfrc_halt_mask; > + > + READ_BCR(ARC_REG_MCIP_BCR, mp); > + > + if (!mp.gfrc) > + return; > + In theory this could be called concurrently by multiple cpus and mcip doesn't guarantee any internal serialization/buffering. Granted, current use case is fine as mcip_setup_per_cpu --> plat_smp_ops.init_per_cpu is serialized by master core, we could run into issue when say cpu hot plug etc works. So better to wrap this inside the spinlock which we already have. > + __mcip_cmd(CMD_GFRC_READ_CORE, 0); > + gfrc_halt_mask = read_aux_reg(ARC_REG_MCIP_READBACK); > + gfrc_halt_mask |= BIT(cpu); > + __mcip_cmd_data(CMD_GFRC_SET_CORE, 0, gfrc_halt_mask); > +} > + > static void mcip_setup_per_cpu(int cpu) > { > smp_ipi_irq_setup(cpu, IPI_IRQ); > smp_ipi_irq_setup(cpu, SOFTIRQ_IRQ); Please move the bcr readout / gfrc check here so in future we can do any more checks as well. > + > + /* Update GFRC halt mask as new CPU came online */ > + mcip_update_gfrc_halt_mask(cpu); > } > > static void mcip_ipi_send(int cpu) > diff --git a/include/soc/arc/mcip.h b/include/soc/arc/mcip.h > index c2d1b15..a156fa5 100644 > --- a/include/soc/arc/mcip.h > +++ b/include/soc/arc/mcip.h > @@ -40,6 +40,8 @@ struct mcip_cmd { > > #define CMD_GFRC_READ_LO 0x42 > #define CMD_GFRC_READ_HI 0x43 > +#define CMD_GFRC_SET_CORE 0x47 > +#define CMD_GFRC_READ_CORE 0x48 > > #define CMD_IDU_ENABLE 0x71 > #define CMD_IDU_DISABLE 0x72 >
