platform/x86/intel: Add Primary to Sideband (P2SB) bridge support
SoC features such as GPIO are accessed via a reserved MMIO area, we don't know its address but can obtain it from the BAR of the P2SB device, that device is normally hidden so we have to temporarily unhide it, read address and hide it back. There are already a few users and at least one more is coming which require an access to Primary to Sideband (P2SB) bridge in order to get IO or MMIO BAR hidden by BIOS. Create a library to access P2SB for x86 devices in a unified way. Background information ====================== Note, the term "bridge" is used in the documentation and it has nothing to do with a PCI (host) bridge as per the PCI specifications. The P2SB is an interesting device by its nature and hardware design. First of all, it has several devices in the hardware behind it. These devices may or may not be represented as ACPI devices by a firmware. It also has a hardwired (to 0s) the least significant bits of the base address register which is represented by the only 64-bit BAR0. It means that OS mustn't reallocate the BAR. On top of that in some cases P2SB is represented by function 0 on PCI slot (in terms of B:D.F) and according to the PCI specification any other function can't be seen until function 0 is present and visible. In the PCI configuration space of P2SB device the full 32-bit register is allocated for the only purpose of hiding the entire P2SB device. As per [3]: 3.1.39 P2SB Control (P2SBC)—Offset E0h Hide Device (HIDE): When this bit is set, the P2SB will return 1s on any PCI Configuration Read on IOSF-P. All other transactions including PCI Configuration Writes on IOSF-P are unaffected by this. This does not affect reads performed on the IOSF-SB interface. This doesn't prevent MMIO accesses, although preventing the OS from assigning these addresses. The firmware on the affected platforms marks the region as unusable (by cutting it off from the PCI host bridge resources) as depicted in the Apollo Lake example below: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x0070-0x0077] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x0000-0x006f window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x0078-0x0cf7 window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x0d00-0xffff window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x7c000001-0x7fffffff window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x7b800001-0x7bffffff window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x80000000-0xcfffffff window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff window] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [bus 00-ff] The P2SB 16MB BAR is located at 0xd0000000-0xd0ffffff memory window. The generic solution ==================== The generic solution for all cases when we need to access to the information behind P2SB device is a library code where users ask for necessary resources by demand and hence those users take care of not being run on the systems where this access is not required. The library provides the p2sb_bar() API to retrieve the MMIO of the BAR0 of the device from P2SB device slot. P2SB unconditional unhiding awareness ===================================== Technically it's possible to unhide the P2SB device and devices on the same PCI slot and access them at any time as needed. But there are several potential issues with that: - the systems were never tested against such configuration and hence nobody knows what kind of bugs it may bring, especially when we talk about SPI NOR case which contains Intel FirmWare Image (IFWI) code (including BIOS) and already known to be problematic in the past for end users - the PCI by its nature is a hotpluggable bus and in case somebody attaches a driver to the functions of a P2SB slot device(s) the end user experience and system behaviour can be unpredictable - the kernel code would need some ugly hacks (or code looking as an ugly hack) under arch/x86/pci in order to enable these devices on only selected platforms (which may include CPU ID table followed by a potentially growing number of DMI strings The future improvements ======================= The future improvements with this code may go in order to gain some kind of cache, if it's possible at all, to prevent unhiding and hiding many times to take static information that may be saved once per boot.
