      mmu_notifier: add mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() · 1897bdc4
      Joerg Roedel authored 
      This notifier closes an important gap in the current mmu_notifier
implementation, the existing callbacks are called too early or too late to
reliably manage a non-CPU TLB.  Specifically, invalidate_range_start() is
called when all pages are still mapped and invalidate_range_end() when all
pages are unmapped and potentially freed.

This is fine when the users of the mmu_notifiers manage their own SoftTLB,
like KVM does.  When the TLB is managed in software it is easy to wipe out
entries for a given range and prevent new entries to be established until
invalidate_range_end is called.

But when the user of mmu_notifiers has to manage a hardware TLB it can
still wipe out TLB entries in invalidate_range_start, but it can't make
sure that no new TLB entries in the given range are established between
invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end.

To avoid silent data corruption the entries in the non-CPU TLB need to be
flushed when the pages are unmapped (at this point in time no _new_ TLB
entries can be established in the non-CPU TLB) but not yet freed (as the
non-CPU TLB may still have _existing_ entries pointing to the pages about
to be freed).

To fix this problem we need to catch the moment when the Linux VMM flushes
remote TLBs (as a non-CPU TLB is not very CPU TLB), as this is the point
in time when the pages are unmapped but _not_ yet freed.

The mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() function aims to catch that moment.

IOMMU code will be one user of the notifier-callback.  Currently this is
only the AMD IOMMUv2 driver, but its code is about to be more generalized
and converted to a generic IOMMU-API extension to fit the needs of similar
functionality in other IOMMUs as well.

The current attempt in the AMD IOMMUv2 driver to work around the
invalidate_range_start/end() shortcoming is to assign an empty page table
to the non-CPU TLB between any invalidata_range_start/end calls.  With the
empty page-table assigned, every page-table walk to re-fill the non-CPU
TLB will cause a page-fault reported to the IOMMU driver via an interrupt,
possibly causing interrupt storms.

The page-fault handler in the AMD IOMMUv2 driver doesn't handle the fault
if an invalidate_range_start/end pair is active, it just reports back
SUCCESS to the device and let it refault the page.  But existing hardware
(newer Radeon GPUs) that makes use of this feature don't re-fault
indefinitly, after a certain number of faults for the same address the
device enters a failure state and needs to be resetted.

To avoid the GPUs entering a failure state we need to get rid of the
empty-page-table workaround and use the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
function introduced with this patch.

So here's my atomic series, finally all debugged&reviewed. Sean Paul has
done a full detailed pass over it all, and a lot of other people have
commented and provided feedback on some parts. Rob Clark also converted
msm over the w/e and seems happy. The only small thing is that Rob wants
to export the wait_for_vblank, which imo makes sense. Since there's other
stuff still to do I think we should apply Rob's patch (once it has grown
appropriate kerneldoc) later on top of this.

This is just the core<->driver interface plus a big pile of helpers. Short
recap of the main ideas:

- There are essentially three helper libraries in this patch set:

  * Transitional helpers to use the new plane callbacks for legacy plane
    updates and in the crtc helper's ->mode_set callback. These helpers are
    only temporarily used to convert drivers to atomic, but they allow a
    nice separation between changing the driver backend and switching to
    the atomic commit logic.

  * Legacy helpers to implement all the legacy driver entry points
    (page_flip, set_config, plane vfuncs) on top of the new atomic driver
    interface. These are completely driver agnostic. The reason for having
    the legacy support as helpers is that drivers can switch step-by-step.
    And they could e.g. even keep the legacy page_flip code around for some
    old platforms where converting to full-blown atomic isn't worth it.

  * Atomic helpers which implement the various new ->atomic_* driver
    interfaces in terms of the revised crtc helper and new plane helper
    hooks.

- The revised crtc helper implemenation essentially implements all the
  lessons learned in the i915 modeset rework (when using the atomic helpers
  only):

  * Enable/disable sequence for a given config are always the same and
    callbacks are always called in the same order. This contrast starkly
    with the crtc helpers, where the sequence of operations is heavily
    dependent on the previous config.

    One corollary of this is that if the configuration of a crtc only
    partially changes (e.g. a connector moves in a cloned config) the
    helper code will still disable/enable the full display pipeline. This
    is the only way to ensure that the enable/disable sequence is always
    the same.

  * It won't call disable or enable hooks more than once any more because
    it lost track of state, thanks to the atomic state tracking. And if
    drivers implement the ->reset hook properly (by either resetting the hw
    or reading out the hw state into the atomic structures) this even
    extends to the hardware state. So no more disable-me-harder kind of
    nonsense.

  * The only thing missing is the hw state readout/cross-check support, but
    if drivers have hw state readout support in their ->reset handlers it's
    simple to extend that to cross-check the hw state.

  * The crtc->mode_set callback is gone and its replacement only sets crtc
    timings and no longer updates the primary plane state. This way we can
    finally implement primary planes properly.

- The new plane helpers should be suitable enough for pretty much
  everything, and a perfect fit for hardware with GO bits. Even if they
  don't fit the atomic helper library is rather flexible and exports all
  the functions for the individual steps to drivers. So drivers can pick
  what matches and implement their own magic for everything else.

- A big difference compared to all previous atomic series is that this one
  doesn't implement async commit in a generic way. Imo driver requirements
  for that are too diverse to create anything reasonable sane which would
  actually work on a reasonable amount of different drivers. Also, we've
  never had a helper library for page_flips even, so it's really hard to
  know what might work and what's stupid without a bit of experience in the form
  of a few driver implementations.

  I think with the current flexibility for drivers to pick individual
  stages and existing helpers like drm_flip_queue it's rather easy though
  to implement proper async commit.

- There's a few other differences of minor importance to earlier atomic
  series:

  * Common/generic properties are parsed in the callers/core and not in
    drivers, and passed to drivers by directly setting the right members in
    atomic state structures. That greatly simplifies all the transitional
    and legacy helpers an removes a lot of boilerplate code.

  * There's no crazy trylock mode used for the async commit since these
    helpers don't do async commit. A simple ordered flip queue of atomic
    state updates should be sufficient for preventing concurrent hw access
    anyway, as long as synchronous updates stall correctly with e.g.
    flush_work_queue or similar function. Abusing locks to enforce ordering
    isn't a good idea imo anyway.

  * These helpers reuse the existing ->mode_fixup hooks in the atomic_check
    callback. Which means that drivers need to adapat and move a lot less code
    into their atomic_check callbacks.

Now this isn't everything needed in the drm core and helpers for full
atomic support. But it's enough to start with converting drivers, and
except for actually testing multiplane and multicrtc updates also enough to
implement full atomic updates. Still missing are:

- Per-plane locking. Since these helpers here encapsulate the locking
  completely this should be fairly easy to implement.

- fbdev support for atomic_check/commit, so that multi-pipe finally works
  sanely in fbcon.

- Adding and decoding shared/core properties. That just needs to be rebased
  from Rob's latest patch series, with minor adjustments so that the
  decoding happens in the core instead of in drivers.

- Actually adding the atomic ioctl. Again just rebasing Rob's latest patch
  should be all that's needed.

- Resolving how to deal with DPMS in atomic. Atomic is a good excuse to fix up
  the crazy semantics dpms currently has. I'm floating an RFC about this topic
  already.

- Finally I couldn't test connector/encoder stealing properly since my test
  vehicle here doesn't allow a connector on different crtcs. So drivers
  which support this might see some surprises in that area. There is no semantic
  change though in how encoder stealing and assignment works (or at least no
  intended one), so I think the risk is minimal.

As just mentioned I've done a fake conversion of an existing driver using
crtc helpers to debug the helper code and validate the smooth transition
approach. And that smooth transition was the really big motivation for
this. It seems to actually work and consists of 3 phases:

Phase 1: Rework driver backend for crtc/plane helpers

The requirement here is that universal plane support is already implement. If
universal plane support isn't implement yet it might be better though to just do
it as part of this phase, directly using the new plane helpers. There are two
big things to do:

- Split up the existing ->update/disable_plane hooks into check/commit
  hooks and extract the crtc-wide prep/flush parts (like setting/clearing
  GO bits).

- The other big change is to split the crtc->mode_set hook into the plane
  update (done using the plane helpers) and the crtc setup in a new
  ->mode_set_nofb hook.

When phase 1 is complete the driver implements all the new callbacks which
push the software state into hardware, but still using all the legacy entry
points and crtc helpers. The transitional helpers serve as impendance
mismatch here.

Phase 2: Rework state handling

This consists of rolling out the state handling helpers for planes, crtcs
and connectors and reviewing all ->mode_fixup and similar hooks to make
sure they don't depend upon implicit global state which might change in the
atomic world. Any such code must be moved into ->atomic_check functions which
just rely on the free-standing atomic state update structures.

This phase also adds a few small pieces of fixup code to make sure the
atomic state doesn't get out of sync in the legacy driver callbacks.

Phase 3: Roll out atomic support

Now it's just about replacing vfuncs with the ones provided by the helper
and filling out the small missing pieces (like atomic_check logic or async
commit support needed for page_flips). Due to the prep work in phase 1 no
changes to the driver backend functions should be required, and because of
the prep work in phase 2 atomic implementations can be rolled out
step-by-step. So if async commit ins't implemented yet page_flip can be
implemented with the legacy functions without wreaking havoc in the other
operations.
