From 2bc6b218717b9d08f466f88209251d54bc09b207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fuad Tabba Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:14:30 +0100 Subject: arm64/boot: Disable trapping of PMZR_EL0 writes to EL2 __init_el2_fgt2() writes one mask to both HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. PMZR_EL0 is write-only, so its trap bit, nPMZR_EL0, exists only in HDFGWTR2_EL2 and is therefore never set: a PMZR_EL0 write from the host traps to EL2, where the nVHE hypervisor has no handler and BUG()s. The kernel never writes PMZR_EL0, but kernel.perf_user_access=1 has the PMU driver set PMUSERENR_EL0.UEN for a task with a user-read event, so a write from EL0 reaches the trap and takes the host down without a panic message. Accumulate the HDFGWTR2_EL2 bits separately, as __init_el2_fgt() already does for HDFGWTR_EL2, and set nPMZR_EL0 with the other FEAT_PMUv3p9 bits.

Its three signal wires hold a clock (SCK, +often in the range of 1-20 MHz), a "Master Out, Slave In" (MOSI) data +line, and a "Master In, Slave Out" (MISO) data line. SPI is a full +duplex protocol; for each bit shifted out the MOSI line (one per clock) +another is shifted in on the MISO line. Those bits are assembled into +words of various sizes on the way to and from system memory. An +additional chipselect line is usually active-low (nCS); four signals are +normally used for each peripheral, plus sometimes an interrupt. + +The SPI bus facilities listed here provide a generalized interface to +declare SPI buses and devices, manage them according to the standard +Linux driver model, and perform input/output operations. At this time, +only "master" side interfaces are supported, where Linux talks to SPI +peripherals and does not implement such a peripheral itself. (Interfaces +to support implementing SPI slaves would necessarily look different.) + +The programming interface is structured around two kinds of driver, and +two kinds of device. A "Controller Driver" abstracts the controller +hardware, which may be as simple as a set of GPIO pins or as complex as +a pair of FIFOs connected to dual DMA engines on the other side of the +SPI shift register (maximizing throughput). Such drivers bridge between +whatever bus they sit on (often the platform bus) and SPI, and expose +the SPI side of their device as a :c:type:`struct spi_controller +`. SPI devices are children of that master, +represented as a :c:type:`struct spi_device ` and +manufactured from :c:type:`struct spi_board_info +` descriptors which are usually provided by +board-specific initialization code. A :c:type:`struct spi_driver +` is called a "Protocol Driver", and is bound to a +spi_device using normal driver model calls. + +The I/O model is a set of queued messages. Protocol drivers submit one +or more :c:type:`struct spi_message ` objects, +which are processed and completed asynchronously. (There are synchronous +wrappers, however.) Messages are built from one or more +:c:type:`struct spi_transfer ` objects, each of +which wraps a full duplex SPI transfer. A variety of protocol tweaking +options are needed, because different chips adopt very different +policies for how they use the bits transferred with SPI. + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/spi/spi.h + :internal: + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c + :functions: spi_register_board_info + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/spi/spi.c + :export: -- cgit v1.3.1
