Since commit f2c3c67f (merge commit that adds commit "ARM: mvebu: completely disable hardware I/O coherency"), we disable I/O coherency on Armada EBU platforms. However, we continue to initialize the coherency fabric, because this coherency fabric is needed on Armada XP for inter-CPU coherency. Unfortunately, due to this, we also continued to execute the coherency fabric initialization code for Armada 375/38x, which switched the PL310 into I/O coherent mode. This has the effect of disabling the outer cache sync operation: this is needed when I/O coherency is enabled to work around a PCIe/L2 deadlock. But obviously, when I/O coherency is disabled, having the outer cache sync operation is crucial. Therefore, this commit fixes the armada_375_380_coherency_init() so that the PL310 is switched to I/O coherent mode only if I/O coherency is enabled. Without this fix, all devices using DMA are broken on Armada 375/38x.

Now that we have enabled automatic I/O synchronization barriers, we no longer need any explicit barriers. We can therefore simplify arch/arm/mach-mvebu/coherency.c by using the existing arm_coherent_dma_ops instead of our custom mvebu_hwcc_dma_ops, and re-enable hardware I/O coherency support.

The current hardware I/O coherency is known to cause problems with DMA coherent buffers, as it still requires explicit I/O synchronization barriers, which is not compatible with the semantics expected by the Linux DMA coherent buffers API. So, in order to have enough time to validate a new solution based on automatic I/O synchronization barriers, this commit disables hardware I/O coherency entirely. Future patches will re-enable it.

This patch removes the unneeded include of the armada-370-xp.h header. It also moves some declarations from this file into more accurate places. Finally, it also adds a comment explaining that we can't remove yet the smp field in the dt machine struct due to backward compatibly of the device tree. In a few releases, when the old device tree will be obsolete, we will be able to remove the smp field and then the armada-370-xp.h header.

Enabling the hardware I/O coherency on Armada 370, Armada 375, Armada 38x and Armada XP requires a certain number of conditions: - On Armada 370, the cache policy must be set to write-allocate. - On Armada 375, 38x and XP, the cache policy must be set to write-allocate, the pages must be mapped with the shareable attribute, and the SMP bit must be set Currently, on Armada XP, when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, those conditions are met. However, when Armada XP is used in a !CONFIG_SMP kernel, none of these conditions are met. With Armada 370, the situation is worse: since the processor is single core, regardless of whether CONFIG_SMP or !CONFIG_SMP is used, the cache policy will be set to write-back by the kernel and not write-allocate. Since solving this problem turns out to be quite complicated, and we don't want to let users with a mainline kernel known to have infrequent but existing data corruptions, this commit proposes to simply disable hardware I/O coherency in situations where it is known not to work. And basically, the is_smp() function of the kernel tells us whether it is OK to enable hardware I/O coherency or not, so this commit slightly refactors the coherency_type() function to return COHERENCY_FABRIC_TYPE_NONE when is_smp() is false, or the appropriate type of the coherency fabric in the other case. Thanks to this, the I/O coherency fabric will no longer be used at all in !CONFIG_SMP configurations. It will continue to be used in CONFIG_SMP configurations on Armada XP, Armada 375 and Armada 38x (which are multiple cores processors), but will no longer be used on Armada 370 (which is a single core processor). In the process, it simplifies the implementation of the coherency_type() function, and adds a missing call to of_node_put().

Currently, the coherency fabric support registers two bus notifiers; one for platform, one for pci bus types, with the same notifier block. However, this is illegal and can cause serious issues: the notifier block is also a link in the notifier list and cannot be inserted twice. This commit fixes this by using different notifier blocks (with the same notifier callback) to set the platform and pci bus types notifiers.

The Marvell Armada 375 and Armada 38x SOCs, which use the Cortex-A9 CPU core, the PL310 cache and the Marvell PCIe hardware block are affected a L2/PCIe deadlock caused by a system erratum when hardware I/O coherency is used. This deadlock can be avoided by mapping the PCIe memory areas as strongly-ordered (note: MT_UNCACHED is strongly-ordered), and by removing the outer cache sync done in software. This is implemented in this patch by: * Registering a custom arch_ioremap_caller function that allows to make sure PCI memory regions are mapped MT_UNCACHED. * Adding at runtime the 'arm,io-coherent' property to the PL310 cache controller. This cannot be done permanently in the DT, because the hardware I/O coherency can only be enabled when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, in the current kernel situation.

Since the beginning of the introduction of hardware I/O coherency support for Armada 370 and Armada XP, the special DMA operations should have applied to all DMA capable devices. Unfortunately, while the original code properly took into account platform devices, it didn't take into account PCI devices, which can also be DMA masters. This commit fixes that by registering a bus notifier on pci_bus_type, to register our custom DMA operations, like is already done for platform devices. While doing this, we also rename mvebu_hwcc_platform_notifier() to mvebu_hwcc_notifier() and mvebu_hwcc_platform_nb to mvebu_hwcc_nb because they are no longer specific to platform devices.

The early revisions of Armada 375 SOCs (Z1 stepping) have a bug in the I/O coherency unit that prevents using the normal method for the I/O coherency barrier. The recommended workaround is to use a XOR memset transfer to act as the I/O coherency barrier. This involves "borrowing" a XOR engine, which gets disabled in the Device Tree so the normal XOR driver doesn't use it.

The Armada 375, like the Armada 370 and Armada XP, has a coherency unit. However, unlike the coherency unit of 370/XP which does both CPU and I/O coherency, the one on Armada 735 only does I/O coherency. Therefore, instead of having two sets of registers (the first one being used mainly to register each CPU in the coherency fabric, the second one being used for the I/O coherency barrier), it has only one set of register (for the I/O coherency barrier). This commit adds a new "marvell,armada-375-coherency-fabric" compatible string for this variant of the coherency fabric. The custom DMA operations, and the way of triggering an I/O barrier is the same as Armada 370/XP, so the code changes are minimal. However, the set_cpu_coherent() function is not needed on Armada 375 and will not work.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code, and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous" section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT (aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Now that the coherency_get_cpu_count() function no longer requires a very early mapping of the coherency unit registers, we can avoid the hardcoded virtual address in coherency.c. However, the coherency features are still used quite early, so we need to do the of_iomap() early enough, at the ->init_timer() level, so we have the call of coherency_init() at this point. Unfortunately, at ->init_timer() time, it is not possible to register a bus notifier, so we add a separate coherency_late_init() function that gets called as as postcore_initcall(), when bus notifiers are available.

The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register, which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by ->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping. So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate, because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on all CPUs. As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no longer used, so we remove it.

Armada 370 and XP come with an unit called coherency fabric. This unit allows to use the Armada 370/XP as a nearly coherent architecture. The coherency mechanism uses snoop filters to ensure the coherency between caches, DRAM and devices. This mechanism needs a synchronization barrier which guarantees that all the memory writes initiated by the devices have reached their target and do not reside in intermediate write buffers. That's why the architecture is not totally coherent and we need to provide our own functions for some DMA operations. Beside the use of the coherency fabric, the device units will have to set the attribute flag of the decoding address window to select the accurate coherency process for the memory transaction. This is done each device driver programs the DRAM address windows. The value of the attribute set by the driver is retrieved through the orion_addr_map_cfg struct filled during the early initialization of the platform.

The Armada 370 and Armada XP SOCs have a coherency fabric unit which is responsible for ensuring hardware coherency between all CPUs and between CPUs and I/O masters. This patch provides the basic support needed for SMP.
