Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix error output of boot instance creation failure
Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out
the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is
because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by
strsep(). Print the saved name instead.
While at it, print the error code of the failure.
- Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams
Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events.
But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event
that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free
the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and
still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use
the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate
histogram and crash the kernel.
Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram
data.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test
The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check
if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were
to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error
returned.
- Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size
If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update
the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to
read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring
buffer sub-buffer size.
- Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory
In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the
eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which
calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed
has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of
the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not
yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because
list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false.
Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and
makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized
upon creation.
- Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code
The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does
not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a
failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed.
- Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure
On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state.
It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if
the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with
a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its
data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still
using it.
In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL
before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will
not free the parent's descriptor.
- Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap
simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a
failed replacement leaves it at -1.
But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and
exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it.
- Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error
Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it
triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it
exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING.

An HPA +range may include addresses currently assigned to CXL.mem devices, or an OS may +assign ranges from an address window to a device. + +Host-managed Device Memory is Device-attached memory that is mapped to system +coherent address space and accessible to the Host using standard write-back +semantics. The managed address range is configured in the CXL HDM Decoder +registers of the device. An HDM Decoder in a device is responsible for +converting HPA into DPA by stripping off specific address bits. + +CXL devices and CXL bridges use the same HPA space. It is common across all +components that belong to the same host domain. The view of the address region +must be consistent on the CXL.mem path between the Host and the Device. + +This is described in the *CXL 3.2 specification* (Table 1-1, 3.3.1, +8.2.4.20, 9.13.1, 9.18.1.3). [#cxl-spec-3.2]_ + +Depending on the interconnect architecture of the platform, components attached +to a host may not share the same host physical address space. Those platforms +need address translation to convert an HPA between the host and the attached +component, such as a CXL device. The translation mechanism is host-specific and +implementation dependent. + +For example, x86 AMD platforms use a Data Fabric that manages access to physical +memory. Devices have their own memory space and can be configured to use +'Normalized addresses' different from System Physical Addresses (SPA). Address +translation is then needed. For details, see +:doc:`x86 AMD Address Translation </admin-guide/RAS/address-translation>`. + +Those AMD platforms provide PRM [#prm-spec]_ handlers in firmware to perform +various types of address translation, including for CXL endpoints. AMD Zen5 +systems implement the ACPI PRM CXL Address Translation firmware call. The ACPI +PRM handler has a specific GUID to uniquely identify platforms with support for +Normalized addressing. This is documented in the *ACPI v6.5 Porting Guide* +(Address Translation - CXL DPA to System Physical Address). [#amd-ppr-58088]_ + +When in Normalized address mode, HDM decoder address ranges must be configured +and handled differently. Hardware addresses used in the HDM decoder +configurations of an endpoint are not SPA and need to be translated from the +address range of the endpoint to that of the CXL host bridge. This is especially +important for finding an endpoint's associated CXL Host Bridge and HPA window +described in the CFMWS. Additionally, the interleave decoding is done by the +Data Fabric and the endpoint does not perform decoding when converting HPA to +DPA. Instead, interleaving is switched off for the endpoint (1-way). Finally, +address translation might also be needed to inspect the endpoint's hardware +addresses, such as during profiling, tracing, or error handling. + +For example, with Normalized addressing the HDM decoders could look as follows:: + + ------------------------------- + | Root Decoder (CFMWS) | + | SPA Range: 0x850000000 | + | Size: 0x8000000000 (512 GB) | + | Interleave Ways: 1 | +

De Francesco, Intel +- Dan J. Williams, Intel +- Mahesh Natu, Intel + +Summary of the Change +--------------------- + +According to the current Compute Express Link (CXL) Specifications (Revision +3.2, Version 1.0), the CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure (CFMWS) describes zero +or more Host Physical Address (HPA) windows associated with each CXL Host +Bridge. Each window represents a contiguous HPA range that may be interleaved +across one or more targets, including CXL Host Bridges. Each window has a set +of restrictions that govern its usage. It is the Operating System-directed +configuration and Power Management (OSPM) responsibility to utilize each window +for the specified use. + +Table 9-22 of the current CXL Specifications states that the Window Size field +contains the total number of consecutive bytes of HPA this window describes. +This value must be a multiple of the Number of Interleave Ways (NIW) * 256 MB. + +Platform Firmware (BIOS) might reserve physical addresses below 4 GB where a +memory gap such as the Low Memory Hole for PCIe MMIO may exist. In such cases, +the CFMWS Range Size may not adhere to the NIW * 256 MB rule. + +The HPA represents the actual physical memory address space that the CXL devices +can decode and respond to, while the System Physical Address (SPA), a related +but distinct concept, represents the system-visible address space that users can +direct transaction to and so it excludes reserved regions. + +BIOS publishes CFMWS to communicate the active SPA ranges that, on platforms +with LMH's, map to a strict subset of the HPA. The SPA range trims out the hole, +resulting in lost capacity in the Endpoints with no SPA to map to that part of +the HPA range that intersects the hole. + +E.g, an x86 platform with two CFMWS and an LMH starting at 2 GB: + + +--------+------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------------+------+ + | Window | CFMWS Base | CFMWS Size | HDM Decoder Base | HDM Decoder Size | Ways | + +========+============+===================+==================+===================+======+ + | 0 | 0 GB | 2 GB | 0 GB | 3 GB | 12 | + +--------+------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------------+------+ + | 1 | 4 GB | NIW*256MB Aligned | 4 GB | NIW*256MB Aligned | 12 | + +--------+------------+-------------------+------------------+-------------------+------+ + +HDM decoder base and HDM decoder size represent all the 12 Endpoint Decoders of +a 12 ways region and all the intermediate Switch Decoders. They are configured +by the BIOS according to the NIW * 256MB rule, resulting in a HPA range size of +3GB. Instead, the CFMWS Base and CFMWS Size are used to configure the Root +Decoder HPA range that results smaller (2GB) than that of the Switch and +Endpoint Decoders in the hierarchy (3GB). + +This creates 2 issues which lead to a failure to construct a region: + +1) A mismatch in region size between root and any HDM decoder. The root decoders + will always be smaller due to the trim. + +2) The trim causes the root decoder to violate the (NIW * 256MB) rule. + +This change allows a region with a base address of 0GB to bypass these checks to +allow for region creation with the trimmed root decoder address range. + +This change does not allow for any other arbitrary region to violate these +checks - it is intended exclusively to enable x86 platforms which map CXL memory +under 4GB. + +Despite the HDM decoders covering the PCIE hole HPA region, it is expected that +the platform will never route address accesses to the CXL complex because the +root decoder only covers the trimmed region (which excludes this). This is +outside the ability of Linux to enforce. + +On the example platform, only the first 2GB will be potentially usable, but +Linux, aiming to adhere to the current specifications, fails to construct +Regions and attach Endpoint and intermediate Switch Decoders to them. + +There are several points of failure that due to the expectation that the Root +Decoder HPA size, that is equal to the CFMWS from which it is configured, has +to be greater or equal to the matching Switch and Endpoint HDM Decoders. + +In order to succeed with construction and attachment, Linux must construct a +Region with Root Decoder HPA range size, and then attach to that all the +intermediate Switch Decoders and Endpoint Decoders that belong to the hierarchy +regardless of their range sizes. + +Benefits of the Change +---------------------- + +Without the change, the OSPM wouldn't match intermediate Switch and Endpoint +Decoders with Root Decoders configured with CFMWS HPA sizes that don't align +with the NIW * 256MB constraint, and so it leads to lost memdev capacity. + +This change allows the OSPM to construct Regions and attach intermediate Switch +and Endpoint Decoders to them, so that the addressable part of the memory +devices total capacity is made available to the users. + +References +---------- + +Compute Express Link Specification Revision 3.2, Version 1.0 +<https://www.computeexpresslink.org/> + +Detailed Description of the Change +---------------------------------- + +The description of the Window Size field in table 9-22 needs to account for +platforms with Low Memory Holes, where SPA ranges might be subsets of the +endpoints HPA. Therefore, it has to be changed to the following: + +"The total number of consecutive bytes of HPA this window represents. This value +shall be a multiple of NIW * 256 MB. + +On platforms that reserve physical addresses below 4 GB, such as the Low Memory +Hole for PCIe MMIO on x86, an instance of CFMWS whose Base HPA range is 0 might +have a size that doesn't align with the NIW * 256 MB constraint. + +Note that the matching intermediate Switch Decoders and the Endpoint Decoders +HPA range sizes must still align to the above-mentioned rule, but the memory +capacity that exceeds the CFMWS window size won't be accessible.". diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/conventions/template.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/conventions/template.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ff2fcf1b5 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/conventions/template.rst @@ -0,0 +1,37 @@ +..

This section +covers some basic background on device types and on-device resources used by the platform and OS +which impact configuration. + +Protocols +========= + +There are three core protocols to CXL. For the purpose of this documentation, +we will only discuss very high level definitions as the specific hardware +details are largely abstracted away from Linux. See the CXL specification +for more details. + +CXL.io +------ +The basic interaction protocol, similar to PCIe configuration mechanisms. +Typically used for initialization, configuration, and I/O access for anything +other than memory (CXL.mem) or cache (CXL.cache) operations. + +The Linux CXL driver exposes access to .io functionality via the various sysfs +interfaces and /dev/cxl/ devices (which exposes direct access to device +mailboxes). + +CXL.cache +--------- +The mechanism by which a device may coherently access and cache host memory. + +Largely transparent to Linux once configured. + +CXL.mem +--------- +The mechanism by which the CPU may coherently access and cache device memory. + +Largely transparent to Linux once configured. + + +Device Types +============ + +Type-1 +------ + +A Type-1 CXL device: + +* Supports cxl.io and cxl.cache protocols +* Implements a fully coherent cache +* Allows Device-to-Host coherence and Host-to-Device snoops. +* Does NOT have host-managed device memory (HDM) + +Typical examples of type-1 devices is a Smart NIC - which may want to +directly operate on host-memory (DMA) to store incoming packets. These +devices largely rely on CPU-attached memory. + +Type-2 +------ + +A Type-2 CXL Device: + +* Supports cxl.io, cxl.cache, and cxl.mem protocols +* Optionally implements coherent cache and Host-Managed Device Memory +* Is typically an accelerator device with high bandwidth memory. + +The primary difference between a type-1 and type-2 device is the presence +of host-managed device memory, which allows the device to operate on a +local memory bank - while the CPU still has coherent DMA to the same memory. + +This allows things like GPUs to expose their memory via DAX devices or file +descriptors, allows drivers and programs direct access to device memory +rather than use block-transfer semantics. + +Type-3 +------ + +A Type-3 CXL Device + +* Supports cxl.io and cxl.mem +* Implements Host-Managed Device Memory +* May provide either Volatile or Persistent memory capacity (or both). + +A basic example of a type-3 device is a simple memory expander, whose +local memory capacity is exposed to the CPU for access directly via +basic coherent DMA. + +Switch +------ + +A CXL switch is a device capable of routing any CXL (and by extension, PCIe) +protocol between an upstream, downstream, or peer devices. Many devices, such +as Multi-Logical Devices, imply the presence of switching in some manner. + +Logical Devices and Heads +------------------------- + +A CXL device may present one or more "Logical Devices" to one or more hosts +(via physical "Heads"). + +A Single-Logical Device (SLD) is a device which presents a single device to +one or more heads. + +A Multi-Logical Device (MLD) is a device which may present multiple devices +to one or more upstream devices. + +A Single-Headed Device exposes only a single physical connection. + +A Multi-Headed Device exposes multiple physical connections. + +MHSLD +~~~~~ +A Multi-Headed Single-Logical Device (MHSLD) exposes a single logical +device to multiple heads which may be connected to one or more discrete +hosts. An example of this would be a simple memory-pool which may be +statically configured (prior to boot) to expose portions of its memory +to Linux via :doc:`CEDT <../platform/acpi/cedt>`. + +MHMLD +~~~~~ +A Multi-Headed Multi-Logical Device (MHMLD) exposes multiple logical +devices to multiple heads which may be connected to one or more discrete +hosts. An example of this would be a Dynamic Capacity Device or which +may be configured at runtime to expose portions of its memory to Linux. + +Example Devices +=============== + +Memory Expander +--------------- +The simplest form of Type-3 device is a memory expander. A memory expander +exposes Host-Managed Device Memory (HDM) to Linux. This memory may be +Volatile or Non-Volatile (Persistent). + +Memory Expanders will typically be considered a form of Single-Headed, +Single-Logical Device - as its form factor will typically be an add-in-card +(AIC) or some other similar form-factor. + +The Linux CXL driver provides support for static or dynamic configuration of +basic memory expanders. The platform may program decoders prior to OS init +(e.g. auto-decoders), or the user may program the fabric if the platform +defers these operations to the OS. + +Multiple Memory Expanders may be added to an external chassis and exposed to +a host via a head attached to a CXL switch. This is a "memory pool", and +would be considered an MHSLD or MHMLD depending on the management capabilities +provided by the switch platform. + +As of v6.14, Linux does not provide a formalized interface to manage non-DCD +MHSLD or MHMLD devices. + +Dynamic Capacity Device (DCD) +----------------------------- + +A Dynamic Capacity Device is a Type-3 device which provides dynamic management +of memory capacity. The basic premise of a DCD to provide an allocator-like +interface for physical memory capacity to a "Fabric Manager" (an external, +privileged host with privileges to change configurations for other hosts). + +A DCD manages "Memory Extents", which may be volatile or persistent. Extents +may also be exclusive to a single host or shared across multiple hosts. + +As of v6.14, Linux does not provide a formalized interface to manage DCD +devices, however there is active work on LKML targeting future release. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3dfae1d31 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ +..

However, the platform firmware (BIOS) is +not able to annotate those for CXL devices that are hot-plugged since they do +not exist during platform firmware initialization.

Using this association, the performance +coordinates for the Generic Port can be retrieved from the +:doc:`HMAT <../platform/acpi/hmat>` subtable. This piece represents the +performance coordinates between a CPU and a Generic Port (CXL hostbridge). + +The :doc:`CDAT <../platform/cdat>` provides the performance coordinates for +the CXL device itself. That is the bandwidth and latency to access that device's +memory region. The DSMAS subtable provides a DSMADHandle that is tied to a +Device Physical Address (DPA) range.

When asymmetric topology is detected, the calculation +is aborted. An asymmetric topology is detected during topology walk where the +number of RPs detected as a grandparent is not equal to the number of devices +iterated in the same iteration loop. The assumption is made that subtle +asymmetry in properties does not happen and all paths to EPs are equal. + +There can be multiple switches under an RP.

A xarray +is created to collect all the endpoint bandwidths via the +cxl_endpoint_gather_bandwidth() function. The min() of bandwidth from the +endpoint CDAT and the upstream link bandwidth is calculated. If the endpoint +has a CXL switch as a parent, then min() of calculated bandwidth and the +bandwidth from the SSLBIS for the switch downstream port that is associated +with the endpoint is calculated. The final bandwidth is stored in a +'struct cxl_perf_ctx' in the xarray indexed by a device pointer. If the +endpoint is direct attached to a root port (RP), the device pointer would be an +RP device. If the endpoint is behind a switch, the device pointer would be the +upstream device of the parent switch. + +At the next stage, the code walks through one or more switches if they exist +in the topology. For endpoints directly attached to RPs, this step is skipped. +If there is another switch upstream, the code takes the min() of the current +gathered bandwidth and the upstream link bandwidth. If there's a switch +upstream, then the SSLBIS of the upstream switch. + +Once the topology walk reaches the RP, whether it's direct attached endpoints +or walking through the switch(es), cxl_rp_gather_bandwidth() is called. At +this point all the bandwidths are aggregated per each host bridge, which is +also the index for the resulting xarray. + +The next step is to take the min() of the per host bridge bandwidth and the +bandwidth from the Generic Port (GP). The bandwidths for the GP are retrieved +via ACPI tables (:doc:`SRAT <../platform/acpi/srat>` and +:doc:`HMAT <../platform/acpi/hmat>`). The minimum bandwidth are aggregated +under the same ACPI0017 device to form a new xarray. + +Finally, the cxl_region_update_bandwidth() is called and the aggregated +bandwidth from all the members of the last xarray is updated for the +access coordinates residing in the cxl region (cxlr) context. + +QTG ID +====== +Each :doc:`CEDT <../platform/acpi/cedt>` has a QTG ID field.

The QTG ID for the device can be used as guidance to match +to the CFMWS to setup the best Linux root decoder for the device performance. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/linux/cxl-driver.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/linux/cxl-driver.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..dd6dd17dc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/cxl/linux/cxl-driver.rst @@ -0,0 +1,630 @@ +..

It is +a device that routes accesses through the CXL fabric to an endpoint, and at +the endpoint translates a `Host Physical` to `Device Physical` Addressing. + +The CXL 3.1 specification heavily implies that only endpoint decoders should +engage in translation of `Host Physical Address` to `Device Physical Address`. +:: + + 8.2.4.20 CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure + + IMPLEMENTATION NOTE + CXL Host Bridge and Upstream Switch Port Decode Flow + + IMPLEMENTATION NOTE + Device Decode Logic + +These notes imply that there are two logical groups of decoders. + +* Routing Decoder - a decoder which routes accesses but does not translate + addresses from HPA to DPA. + +* Translating Decoder - a decoder which translates accesses from HPA to DPA + for an endpoint to service. + +The CXL drivers distinguish 3 decoder types: root, switch, and endpoint. Only +endpoint decoders are Translating Decoders, all others are Routing Decoders. + +.. note:: PLATFORM VENDORS BE AWARE + + Linux makes a strong assumption that endpoint decoders are the only decoder + in the fabric that actively translates HPA to DPA.

This will be presented in sysfs via the :code:`target_list` +parameter. + +Root Decoder +~~~~~~~~~~~~ +A `Root Decoder` is logical construct of the physical address and interleave +configurations present in the CFMWS field of the :doc:`CEDT +<../platform/acpi/cedt>`. +Linux presents this information as a decoder present in the `CXL Root`. We +consider this a `Root Decoder`, though technically it exists on the boundary +of the CXL specification and platform-specific CXL root implementations. + +Linux considers these logical decoders a type of `Routing Decoder`, and is the +first decoder in the CXL fabric to receive a memory access from the platform's +memory controllers. + +`Root Decoders` are created during :code:`cxl_acpi_probe`. One root decoder +is created per CFMWS entry in the :doc:`CEDT <../platform/acpi/cedt>`. + +The :code:`target_list` parameter is filled by the CFMWS target fields. Targets +of a root decoder are `Host Bridges`, which means interleave done at the root +decoder level is an `Inter-Host-Bridge Interleave`. + +Only root decoders are capable of `Inter-Host-Bridge Interleave`. + +Such interleaves must be configured by the platform and described in the ACPI +CEDT CFMWS, as the target CXL host bridge UIDs in the CFMWS must match the CXL +host bridge UIDs in the CHBS field of the :doc:`CEDT +<../platform/acpi/cedt>` and the UID field of CXL Host Bridges defined in +the :doc:`DSDT <../platform/acpi/dsdt>`. + +Interleave settings in a root decoder describe how to interleave accesses among +the *immediate downstream targets*, not the entire interleave set. + +The memory range described in the root decoder is used to + +1) Create a memory region (:code:`region0` in this example), and + +2) Associate the region with an IO Memory Resource (:code:`kernel/resource.c`) + +:: + + # ls /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/ + cap_pmem devtype region0 + cap_ram interleave_granularity size + cap_type2 interleave_ways start + cap_type3 locked subsystem + create_ram_region modalias target_list + delete_region qos_class uevent + + # cat /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/region0/resource + 0xc050000000 + +The IO Memory Resource is created during early boot when the CFMWS region is +identified in the EFI Memory Map or E820 table (on x86). + +Root decoders are defined as a separate devtype, but are also a type +of `Switch Decoder` due to having downstream targets. :: + + # cat /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/devtype + cxl_decoder_root + +Switch Decoder +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Any non-root, translating decoder is considered a `Switch Decoder`, and will +present with the type :code:`cxl_decoder_switch`.

A +DAX device may then be accessed directly via a file descriptor interface, or +converted to System RAM via the DAX kmem driver. See the DAX driver section +for more details. :: + + # ls /sys/bus/cxl/devices/dax_region0/ + dax0.0 devtype modalias uevent + dax_region driver subsystem + +Mailbox Interfaces +------------------ +A mailbox command interface for each device is exposed in :: + + /dev/cxl/mem0 + /dev/cxl/mem1 + +These mailboxes may receive any specification-defined command. Raw commands +(custom commands) can only be sent to these interfaces if the build config +:code:`CXL_MEM_RAW_COMMANDS` is set. This is considered a debug and/or +development interface, not an officially supported mechanism for creation +of vendor-specific commands (see the `fwctl` subsystem for that). + +Decoder Programming +=================== + +Runtime Programming +------------------- +During probe, the only decoders *required* to be programmed are `Root Decoders`. +In reality, `Root Decoders` are a logical construct to describe the memory +region and interleave configuration at the host bridge level - as described +in the ACPI CEDT CFMWS. + +All other `Switch` and `Endpoint` decoders may be programmed by the user +at runtime - if the platform supports such configurations. + +This interaction is what creates a `Software Defined Memory` environment. + +See the :code:`cxl-cli` documentation for more information about how to +configure CXL decoders at runtime. + +Auto Decoders +------------- +Auto Decoders are decoders programmed by BIOS/EFI at boot time, and are +almost always locked (cannot be changed). This is done by a platform +which may have a static configuration - or certain quirks which may prevent +dynamic runtime changes to the decoders (such as requiring additional +controller programming within the CPU complex outside the scope of CXL). + +Auto Decoders are probed automatically as long as the devices and memory +regions they are associated with probe without issue. When probing Auto +Decoders, the driver's primary responsibility is to ensure the fabric is +sane - as-if validating runtime programmed regions and decoders. + +If Linux cannot validate auto-decoder configuration, the memory will not +be surfaced as a DAX device - and therefore not be exposed to the page +allocator - effectively stranding it. + +Interleave +---------- + +The Linux CXL driver supports `Cross-Link First` interleave. This dictates +how interleave is programmed at each decoder step, as the driver validates +the relationships between a decoder and it's parent. + +For example, in a `Cross-Link First` interleave setup with 16 endpoints +attached to 4 host bridges, linux expects the following ways/granularity +across the root, host bridge, and endpoints respectively. + +.. flat-table:: 4x4 cross-link first interleave settings + + * - decoder + - ways + - granularity + + * - root + - 4 + - 256 + + * - host bridge + - 4 + - 1024 + + * - endpoint + - 16 + - 256 + +At the root, every a given access will be routed to the +:code:`((HPA / 256) % 4)th` target host bridge. Within a host bridge, every +:code:`((HPA / 1024) % 4)th` target endpoint. Each endpoint translates based +on the entire 16 device interleave set. + +Unbalanced interleave sets are not supported - decoders at a similar point +in the hierarchy (e.g. all host bridge decoders) must have the same ways and +granularity configuration. + +At Root +~~~~~~~ +Root decoder interleave is defined by CFMWS field of the :doc:`CEDT +<../platform/acpi/cedt>`. The CEDT may actually define multiple CFMWS +configurations to describe the same physical capacity, with the intent to allow +users to decide at runtime whether to online memory as interleaved or +non-interleaved. :: + + Subtable Type : 01 [CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure] + Window base address : 0000000100000000 + Window size : 0000000100000000 + Interleave Members (2^n) : 00 + Interleave Arithmetic : 00 + First Target : 00000007 + + Subtable Type : 01 [CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure] + Window base address : 0000000200000000 + Window size : 0000000100000000 + Interleave Members (2^n) : 00 + Interleave Arithmetic : 00 + First Target : 00000006 + + Subtable Type : 01 [CXL Fixed Memory Window Structure] + Window base address : 0000000300000000 + Window size : 0000000200000000 + Interleave Members (2^n) : 01 + Interleave Arithmetic : 00 + First Target : 00000007 + Next Target : 00000006 + +In this example, the CFMWS defines two discrete non-interleaved 4GB regions +for each host bridge, and one interleaved 8GB region that targets both.

These platform vendors should +test their configurations with the existing CXL driver and provide driver +support for their auto-configurations if features like RAS are required. + +Platforms requiring boot-time programming and/or locking of CXL fabric +components may prevent features, such as device hot-plug, from working. + +UEFI Settings +============= +If your platform supports it, the :code:`uefisettings` command can be used to +read/write EFI settings.

While the CXL specification allows for memory +regions as small as 256MB, the supported memory block size and alignment for +hotplugged memory is architecture-defined. + +A Linux memory blocks may be as small as 128MB and increase in powers of two. + +* On ARM, the default block size and alignment is either 128MB or 256MB. + +* On x86, the default block size is 256MB, and increases to 2GB as the + capacity of the system increases up to 64GB. + +For best support across versions, platform vendors should place CXL memory at +a 2GB aligned base address, and regions should be 2GB aligned. This also helps +prevent the creating thousands of memory devices (one per block). + +Memory Holes +------------ + +Holes in the memory map are tricky. Consider a 4GB device located at base +address 0x100000000, but with the following memory map :: + + --------------------- + | 0x100000000 | + | CXL | + | 0x1BFFFFFFF | + --------------------- + | 0x1C0000000 | + | MEMORY HOLE | + | 0x1FFFFFFFF | + --------------------- + | 0x200000000 | + | CXL CONT. | + | 0x23FFFFFFF | + --------------------- + +There are two issues to consider: + +* decoder programming, and +* memory block alignment. + +If your architecture requires 2GB uniform size and aligned memory blocks, the +only capacity Linux is capable of mapping (as of v6.14) would be the capacity +from `0x100000000-0x180000000`. The remaining capacity will be stranded, as +they are not of 2GB aligned length. + +Assuming your architecture and memory configuration allows 1GB memory blocks, +this memory map is supported and this should be presented as multiple CFMWS +in the CEDT that describe each side of the memory hole separately - along with +matching decoders. + +Multiple decoders can (and should) be used to manage such a memory hole (see +below), but each chunk of a memory hole should be aligned to a reasonable block +size (larger alignment is always better). If you intend to have memory holes +in the memory map, expect to use one decoder per contiguous chunk of host +physical memory. + +As of v6.14, Linux does provide support for memory hotplug of multiple +physical memory regions separated by a memory hole described by a single +HDM decoder. + + +Decoder Programming +=================== +If BIOS/EFI intends to program the decoders to be statically configured, +there are a few things to consider to avoid major pitfalls that will +prevent Linux compatibility. Some of these recommendations are not +required "per the specification", but Linux makes no guarantees of support +otherwise. + + +Translation Point +----------------- +Per the specification, the only decoders which **TRANSLATE** Host Physical +Address (HPA) to Device Physical Address (DPA) are the **Endpoint Decoders**. +All other decoders in the fabric are intended to route accesses without +translating the addresses. + +This is heavily implied by the specification, see: :: + + CXL Specification 3.1 + 8.2.4.20: CXL HDM Decoder Capability Structure + - Implementation Note: CXL Host Bridge and Upstream Switch Port Decoder Flow + - Implementation Note: Device Decoder Logic + +Given this, Linux makes a strong assumption that decoders between CPU and +endpoint will all be programmed with addresses ranges that are subsets of +their parent decoder. + +Due to some ambiguity in how Architecture, ACPI, PCI, and CXL specifications +"hand off" responsibility between domains, some early adopting platforms +attempted to do translation at the originating memory controller or host +bridge. This configuration requires a platform specific extension to the +driver and is not officially endorsed - despite being supported. + +It is *highly recommended* **NOT** to do this; otherwise, you are on your own +to implement driver support for your platform. + +Interleave and Configuration Flexibility +---------------------------------------- +If providing cross-host-bridge interleave, a CFMWS entry in the :doc:`CEDT +<acpi/cedt>` must be presented with target host-bridges for the interleaved +device sets (there may be multiple behind each host bridge). + +If providing intra-host-bridge interleaving, only 1 CFMWS entry in the CEDT is +required for that host bridge - if it covers the entire capacity of the devices +behind the host bridge. + +If intending to provide users flexibility in programming decoders beyond the +root, you may want to provide multiple CFMWS entries in the CEDT intended for +different purposes. For example, you may want to consider adding: + +1) A CFMWS entry to cover all interleavable host bridges. +2) A CFMWS entry to cover all devices on a single host bridge. +3) A CFMWS entry to cover each device. + +A platform may choose to add all of these, or change the mode based on a BIOS +setting. For each CFMWS entry, Linux expects descriptions of the described +memory regions in the :doc:`SRAT <acpi/srat>` to determine the number of +NUMA nodes it should reserve during early boot / init. + +As of v6.14, Linux will create a NUMA node for each CEDT CFMWS entry, even if +a matching SRAT entry does not exist; however, this is not guaranteed in the +future and such a configuration should be avoided. + +Memory Holes +------------ +If your platform includes memory holes interspersed between your CXL memory, it +is recommended to utilize multiple decoders to cover these regions of memory, +rather than try to program the decoders to accept the entire range and expect +Linux to manage the overlap. + +For example, consider the Memory Hole described above :: + + --------------------- + | 0x100000000 | + | CXL | + | 0x1BFFFFFFF | + --------------------- + | 0x1C0000000 | + | MEMORY HOLE | + | 0x1FFFFFFFF | + --------------------- + | 0x200000000 | + | CXL CONT. | + | 0x23FFFFFFF | + --------------------- + +Assuming this is provided by a single device attached directly to a host bridge, +Linux would expect the following decoder programming :: + + ----------------------- ----------------------- + | root-decoder-0 | | root-decoder-1 | + | base: 0x100000000 | | base: 0x200000000 | + | size: 0xC0000000 | | size: 0x40000000 | + ----------------------- ----------------------- + | | + ----------------------- ----------------------- + | HB-decoder-0 | | HB-decoder-1 | + | base: 0x100000000 | | base: 0x200000000 | + | size: 0xC0000000 | | size: 0x40000000 | + ----------------------- ----------------------- + | | + ----------------------- ----------------------- + | ep-decoder-0 | | ep-decoder-1 | + | base: 0x100000000 | | base: 0x200000000 | + | size: 0xC0000000 | | size: 0x40000000 | + ----------------------- ----------------------- + +With a CEDT configuration with two CFMWS describing the above root decoders. + +Linux makes no guarantee of support for strange memory hole situations. + +Multi-Media Devices +------------------- +The CFMWS field of the CEDT has special restriction bits which describe whether +the described memory region allows volatile or persistent memory (or both).

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +=============================================== +Compute Express Link Driver Theory of Operation +=============================================== + +A Compute Express Link Memory Device is a CXL component that implements the +CXL.mem protocol. It contains some amount of volatile memory, persistent memory, +or both. It is enumerated as a PCI device for configuration and passing +messages over an MMIO mailbox. Its contribution to the System Physical +Address space is handled via HDM (Host Managed Device Memory) decoders +that optionally define a device's contribution to an interleaved address +range across multiple devices underneath a host-bridge or interleaved +across host-bridges. + +The CXL Bus +=========== +Similar to how a RAID driver takes disk objects and assembles them into a new +logical device, the CXL subsystem is tasked to take PCIe and ACPI objects and +assemble them into a CXL.mem decode topology. The need for runtime configuration +of the CXL.mem topology is also similar to RAID in that different environments +with the same hardware configuration may decide to assemble the topology in +contrasting ways. One may choose performance (RAID0) striping memory across +multiple Host Bridges and endpoints while another may opt for fault tolerance +and disable any striping in the CXL.mem topology. + +Platform firmware enumerates a menu of interleave options at the "CXL root port" +(Linux term for the top of the CXL decode topology). From there, PCIe topology +dictates which endpoints can participate in which Host Bridge decode regimes. +Each PCIe Switch in the path between the root and an endpoint introduces a point +at which the interleave can be split. For example, platform firmware may say a +given range only decodes to one Host Bridge, but that Host Bridge may in turn +interleave cycles across multiple Root Ports. An intervening Switch between a +port and an endpoint may interleave cycles across multiple Downstream Switch +Ports, etc. + +Here is a sample listing of a CXL topology defined by 'cxl_test'. The 'cxl_test' +module generates an emulated CXL topology of 2 Host Bridges each with 2 Root +Ports.

A 'cxl_port' is a device that can decode CXL.mem to +its descendants. So "root" claims non-PCIe enumerable platform decode ranges and +decodes them to "ports", "ports" decode to "endpoints", and "endpoints" +represent the decode from SPA (System Physical Address) to DPA (Device Physical +Address). + +Continuing the RAID analogy, disks have both topology metadata and on-device +metadata that determine RAID set assembly. CXL Port topology and CXL Port link +status is metadata for CXL.mem set assembly. The CXL Port topology is enumerated +by the arrival of a CXL.mem device. I.e. unless and until the PCIe core attaches +the cxl_pci driver to a CXL Memory Expander there is no role for CXL Port +objects. Conversely for hot-unplug / removal scenarios, there is no need for +the Linux PCI core to tear down switch-level CXL resources because the endpoint +->remove() event cleans up the port data that was established to support that +Memory Expander. + +The port metadata and potential decode schemes that a given memory device may +participate can be determined via a command like:: + + # cxl list -BDMu -d root -m mem3 + { + "bus":"root3", + "provider":"cxl_test", + "decoders:root3":[ + { + "decoder":"decoder3.1", + "resource":"0x8030000000", + "size":"512.00 MiB (536.87 MB)", + "volatile_capable":true, + "nr_targets":2 + }, + { + "decoder":"decoder3.3", + "resource":"0x8060000000", + "size":"512.00 MiB (536.87 MB)", + "pmem_capable":true, + "nr_targets":2 + }, + { + "decoder":"decoder3.0", + "resource":"0x8020000000", + "size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "volatile_capable":true, + "nr_targets":1 + }, + { + "decoder":"decoder3.2", + "resource":"0x8050000000", + "size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "pmem_capable":true, + "nr_targets":1 + } + ], + "memdevs:root3":[ + { + "memdev":"mem3", + "pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "ram_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "serial":"0x2", + "numa_node":0, + "host":"cxl_mem.2" + } + ] + } + +...which queries the CXL topology to ask "given CXL Memory Expander with a kernel +device name of 'mem3' which platform level decode ranges may this device +participate".

In this +example mem3 can participate in one or more of a PMEM interleave that spans two +Host Bridges, a PMEM interleave that targets a single Host Bridge, a Volatile +memory interleave that spans 2 Host Bridges, and a Volatile memory interleave +that only targets a single Host Bridge. + +Conversely the memory devices that can participate in a given platform level +decode scheme can be determined via a command like the following:: + + # cxl list -MDu -d 3.2 + [ + { + "memdevs":[ + { + "memdev":"mem1", + "pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "ram_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "serial":"0", + "numa_node":0, + "host":"cxl_mem.0" + }, + { + "memdev":"mem5", + "pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "ram_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "serial":"0x4", + "numa_node":0, + "host":"cxl_mem.4" + }, + { + "memdev":"mem7", + "pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "ram_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "serial":"0x6", + "numa_node":0, + "host":"cxl_mem.6" + }, + { + "memdev":"mem3", + "pmem_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "ram_size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "serial":"0x2", + "numa_node":0, + "host":"cxl_mem.2" + } + ] + }, + { + "root decoders":[ + { + "decoder":"decoder3.2", + "resource":"0x8050000000", + "size":"256.00 MiB (268.44 MB)", + "pmem_capable":true, + "nr_targets":1 + } + ] + } + ] + +...where the naming scheme for decoders is "decoder<port_id>.<instance_id>". + +Driver Infrastructure +===================== + +This section covers the driver infrastructure for a CXL memory device. + +CXL Memory Device +----------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/pci.c + :doc: cxl pci + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/pci.c + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/mem.c + :doc: cxl mem + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/cxlmem.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/memdev.c + :identifiers: + +CXL Port +-------- +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/port.c + :doc: cxl port + +CXL Core +-------- +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/cxl.h + :doc: cxl objects + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/cxl.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/acpi.c + :identifiers: add_cxl_resources + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/hdm.c + :doc: cxl core hdm + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/hdm.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/cdat.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/port.c + :doc: cxl core + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/port.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/pci.c + :doc: cxl core pci + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/pci.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/pmem.c + :doc: cxl pmem + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/pmem.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/regs.c + :doc: cxl registers + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/regs.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/mbox.c + :doc: cxl mbox + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/mbox.c + :identifiers: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/features.c + :doc: cxl features + +See :c:func:`devm_cxl_setup_features` for API details. + +CXL Regions +----------- +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/region.c + :doc: cxl core region + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/cxl/core/region.c + :identifiers: + +External Interfaces +=================== + +CXL IOCTL Interface +------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/cxl_mem.h + :doc: UAPI + +.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/cxl_mem.h + :internal: |
