Now that the resource table supports publishing a virtio device in a single resource entry, firmware images can start supporting more than a single vdev. This patch removes the single vdev limitation of the remoteproc framework so multi-vdev firmwares can be leveraged: VDEV resource entries are parsed when the rproc is registered, and as a result their vrings are set up and the virtio devices are registered (and they go away when the rproc goes away). Moreover, we no longer only support VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG vdevs; any virtio device type goes now. As a result, there's no more any rpmsg-specific APIs or code in remoteproc: it all becomes generic virtio handling.

Boot the remote processor only after setting up the virtqueues, and shut it down before deleting them. Remote processors should obey virtio status changes, and therefore not manipulate/trigger the virtqueues while the virtio driver isn't ready, but it's just safer not to rely on that (plus a vq access might already be inflight while a vdev status is changed). We also don't have yet status change notifications, but that's a temporary limitation.

At this point remoteproc can only register a single VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG virtio device. This limitation is going away soon: remoteproc is getting support for registering any number of virtio devices and of any type (as published by the firmware of the remote processor). Rename remoteproc_rpmsg.c to remoteproc_virtio.c in preparation of this generalization work.

The resource table is an array of 'struct fw_resource' members, where each resource entry is expressed as a single member of that array. This approach got us this far, but it has a few drawbacks: 1. Different resource entries end up overloading the same members of 'struct fw_resource' with different meanings. The resulting code is error prone and hard to read and maintain. 2. It's impossible to extend 'struct fw_resource' without breaking the existing firmware images (and we already want to: we can't introduce the new virito device resource entry with the current scheme). 3. It doesn't scale: 'struct fw_resource' must be as big as the largest resource entry type. As a result, smaller resource entries end up utilizing only small part of it. This is fixed by defining a dedicated structure for every resource type, and then converting the resource table to a list of type-value members. Instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs, the resource table is turned into a collection of heterogeneous structures. This way: 1. Resource entries consume exactly the amount of bytes they need. 2. It's easy to extend: just create a new resource entry structure, and assign it a new type. 3. The code is easier to read and maintain: the structures' members names are meaningful. While we're at it, this patch has several other resource table changes: 1. The resource table gains a simple header which contains the number of entries in the table and their offsets within the table. This makes the parsing code simpler and easier to read. 2. A version member is added to the resource table. Should we change the format again, we'll bump up this version to prevent breakage with existing firmware images. 3. The VRING and VIRTIO_DEV resource entries are combined to a single VDEV entry. This paves the way to supporting multiple VDEV entries. 4. Since we don't really support 64-bit rprocs yet, convert two stray u64 members to u32.

dev_dbg() in rpmsg_probe() made use of the %x formatting that expects an 'unsigned int' which dma_addr_t is not in cases where dma_addr_t is 64-bit (CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT). Casting to a 'unsigned long long' and using %llx will avoid this.

The name service endpoint wasn't destroyed, so fix it. This is achieved by introducing an internal __rpmsg_destroy_ept function which doesn't assume the given ept is bound to an rpmsg channel (much like the existing __rpmsg_create_ept). This is needed because the name service ept belongs to the rpmsg bus, and is never bound with a specific rpdev.

When creating a virtqueue for rpmsg, tell virtio we're not interested in "weak" smp barriers, since we're talking to a real device. On ARM, this means using a DSB instead of a DMB, which is needed for platforms that kick the remote processor using some kind of a mailbox device mapped to Device memory (otherwise the kick can jump ahead and wake the remote processor before it has observed the changes to the vrings).

There isn't any binary change in sight or evidence of any stability issue, but as we just begin to get traction we can't rule them out completely.

Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we definitely expect to do some changes in the binary format (most probably only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries). Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary images we have today. Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user about this when a new remote processor is registered.

RSC_VIRTIO_CFG isn't being used, so remove it. Originally it was introduced to overcome a resource table limitation that prevented describing a virtio device in a single resource table entry.

Not all remote processors employ an IOMMU, so do not error out on !iommu_present(). Note: we currently still use iommu_present() to tell whether we need to configure an IOMMU or not. That works for simple cases, but will easily fail with more complicated ones (e.g. where an IOMMU exists, but not all remote processors use it). When those use cases show up, we will solve them by introducing something like remoteproc hw capabilities.

Add an rpmsg driver sample, which demonstrates how to communicate with an AMP-configured remote processor over the rpmsg bus. Note how once probed, the driver can immediately start sending messages using the rpmsg_send() API, without having to worry about creating endpoints or allocating rpmsg addresses: all that work is done by the rpmsg bus, and the required information is already embedded in the rpmsg channel that the driver is probed with. In this sample, the driver simply sends a "Hello World!" message to the remote processor repeatedly. Designed with Brian Swetland <swetland@google.com>.

Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol. Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send and receive the messages over shared memory. The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on the same vring. Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added, and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback. When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver, its callback is invoked by the bus. This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus. Designed with Brian Swetland <swetland@google.com>.

Add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4, so we can boot the dual-M3 and and DSP subsystems. Use the omap_device_* API to control the hardware state, and utilize the OMAP mailbox to interrupt the remote processor when a new message is pending (the mailbox payload is used to tell it which virtqueue was the message placed in). Conversely, when an inbound mailbox message arrives, tell the remoteproc core which virtqueue is triggered. Later we will also use the mailbox payload to signal omap-specific events like remote crashes (which will be used to trigger remoteproc recovery) and power management transitions. At that point we will also extend the remoteproc core to support this.

Create an rpmsg virtio device to allow message-based communication with the remote processor (but only if supported by its firmware). There are several advantages to provide this functionality at the remoteproc-level: - to support it, platforms only have to provide their own ->kick() handler; no need to duplicate the rest of the code. - the virtio device is created only when the remote processor is registered and ready to go. No need to depend on initcall magic. moreover, we only add the virtio device if the firmware really supports it, and only after we know the supported virtio device features. - correct device model hierarchy can be set, and that is useful for natural power management and DMA API behavior. - when the remote processor crashes (or removed) we only need to remove the virtio device, and the driver core will take care of the rest. No need to implement any out-of-bound notifiers. - we can now easily bind the virtio device to its rproc handle, and this way we don't need any name-based remoteproc ->get() API. Currently we only support creating a single rpmsg virtio device per remote processor, but later this is going to be extended to support creating numerous virtio devices of other types too (block, net, console...).

Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS. Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves: - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory) - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant) - Powering on the device This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power management and error recovery. Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com>.
