On the RK3399 there are currently a couple of roadblocks preventing
this selection of the baudrate from the devicetree from working.
Firstly in U-Boot, SPL_ATF_NO_PLATFORM_PARAM is forced on when
selecting ROCKCHIP_RK3399 in Kconfig [1].
Secondly in TF-A the 64K buffer used to store the passed devicetree
isn't large enough to fit some of the RK3399 device tree blobs, as I
found when removing SPL_ATF_NO_PLATFORM_PARAM from U-Boot.
I guess the issue in TF-A needs to be fixed first before passing the
platform parameter can be enabled in U-Boot, I've submitted a TF-A
patch to increase the buffer size [2].

Hello,
Sorry for chiming in late. Are we sure that the msr/mrs to the GICv3 EOI
register is not a context synchronizing event or ensures ordering itself
? Also did the addition of DSB() fix the issue ? If yes, can you try
adding a delay or a few NOP's/dummy instructions or an ISB to see if the
issue goes away?
We need to know the right thing to do architecturally and confirm that
the issue is really due to reordering at the core before adding the DSB.
Adding a DSB might be masking a timing issue.

Yes I feel either of these is a must to guarantee functionality
architecturally though
both approach end up with some unnecessary overhead.
If GICv3 api takes care then it is an overhead for some ISRs dealing with
non-MMIO.
At present I do not see an active use case in reference implementation where
sys timer
ISR is in a performance intensive path where one additional DSB will be
perceivable.
But there may be some I could be totally wrong in this assumption (pmu/debug
or.. not sure).
Whereas I can certainly imagine some MMIO ISRs in performance critical path
where unnecessary
DSB is not acceptable at all.
If the interrupt handler needs to ensure then it will generically add 'DSB'
as I think
the driver cannot and should not make assumptions about how EOI is done
afterwards.
That will be overhead for the ISRs dealing with MMIO peripherals and non
GIC-v3.
If we consider only GICv3+ then good. Otherwise I would prefer the
'plat_ic_end_of_interrupt'
like Olivier mentioned with a #if GICv3 instead of each ISRs dealing with
it.

Right we can ignore the GICv3 legacy mode but GICv2 will still remain ?

Just some inputs from my side:
I agree we need atleast a dsb() after the write to MMIO region to silence the peripheral and before the EOI at GIC sysreg interface. Adding it to the GIC EOI API seems the logical thing to do but as Olivier mentions, there are interrupt handler which do not deal with MMIO (eg: the Systimer interrupt) so adding it to GICv3 API might be arduous for such handlers.
So there is a choice here to let the interrupt handlers to deal with ensuring completeness before EOI at sysreg interface or adding it to GICv3 EOI API and take the overhead for interrupt handlers which do not have to deal with MMIO.
The GICv3 legacy MMIO CPU interface is deprecated for TF-A and the sys interface is the only one GICv3 driver in TF-A supports.

Hi Sandeep,
gicv3_end_of_interrupt_sel1 is a static access helper macro. Its naming precisely tells what it does at gicv3 module level. It is called from the weak plat_ic_end_of_interrupt function for BL32 image.
I tend to think it is the driver responsibility to ensure the module interrupt acknowledge register write is reaching HW in order (or "be visible to all observers").
Also I suspect adding a dsb might not be required generically for all kind of IP. Adding a barrier in generic code might incur an unnecessary bottleneck.
Thus wouldn't it be better to add the barrier to the overridden platform function rather than in generic gicv3 code?
I have a put a comment in the review, we can continue the discussion there.
Regards,
Olivier.

Subject: [TF-A] GICV3: system interface EOI ordering RFC
Hi,
In a typical interrupt handling sequence we do
1-Read IAR
2-Do interrupt handling
3-Clear the interrupt at source , so that the device de-asserts IRQ request to GIC
>> I am suggesting a need of DSB here in case of GICv3 +.
4-Write to GIC cpu interface to do EOI.
Till GICv2 and with GICv3 legacy interface ICC_EOI write is a write over AMBA interface. The
Addresses are mapped with (nR) attribute. Hence the write transfers from the core will be
generated at step 3 and 4 in order. Please ignore the additional buffers/bridges in path from
core till peripheral which has to be dealt separately as per SOC.
Query: I understand GICv3 system interface accesses are not over this protocol and core will not
follow the ordering rule ?
I have observed spurious interrupt issue/manifestation ( I don’t have the transfers probed) in
RTOS environment where I have a primitive GICv3 driver but I wonder why things does
not fail in Linux or tf-a. If it is working because from step(3) to step(4) we have barriers by chace
due to other device register writes then I would suggest to have one in the EOI clearing API itself.

console baudrate on rk3399 differ a lot between boards. There are a
number using the 1.5MHz and another big number using 115200
(including but not limited to the ChromeOS devices from the Gru line).
Hence we have the code that selects the actual baudrate from the
devicetree attached by u-boot when calling TF-A.
So I guess it should stay as it is right now.

I have noticed that default baudrate for rk3399 board RK3399_BAUDRATE
defined in plat/rockchip/rk3399/rk3399_def.h is 115200 while U-boot
default value and most documentation points to a value of 1500000 for
console.
This of course means that messages printed by ATF are not visible by
default in this context.
The change from 1500000 to 115200 was introduced in
0c05748bdebfad9fa43a80962186438bb8fbce62,

rockchip: fixes for the required
This patch has the following change for rk3399.
* Set the uart to 115200 since the loader decide to set
uart baud to 115200Hz. So the ATF also should set uart baud to 115200.
[..]
However, I'm not sure it this still applies.
I'll be happy to submit a patch to update the value if it is OK.

Hi,
In a typical interrupt handling sequence we do
1-Read IAR
2-Do interrupt handling
3-Clear the interrupt at source , so that the device de-asserts IRQ
request to GIC
>> I am suggesting a need of DSB here in case of GICv3 +.
4-Write to GIC cpu interface to do EOI.
Till GICv2 and with GICv3 legacy interface ICC_EOI write is a write over
AMBA interface. The
Addresses are mapped with (nR) attribute. Hence the write transfers from
the core will be
generated at step 3 and 4 in order. Please ignore the additional
buffers/bridges in path from
core till peripheral which has to be dealt separately as per SOC.
Query: I understand GICv3 system interface accesses are not over this
protocol and core will not
follow the ordering rule ?
I have observed spurious interrupt issue/manifestation ( I don’t have the
transfers probed) in
RTOS environment where I have a primitive GICv3 driver but I wonder why
things does
not fail in Linux or tf-a. If it is working because from step(3) to step(4)
we have barriers by chace
due to other device register writes then I would suggest to have one in the
EOI clearing API itself.

Hi Okash,
These are generally provided on https://www.trustedfirmware.org/meetings/tf-a-technical-forum/ however they are missing from 7th May onwards at the moment. I have an update pending approval on tf.org for adding the details of that session and then I need to add the information from the session on 21st May and the session yesterday.

Hi,
Where can I find slides for recent TF-A Forum presentations?
Thanks,
