ITS translation register map:
0x0000-0x003C	Reserved
0x0040		GITS_TRANSLATER
0x0044-0xFFFC	Reserved

The standard GITS_TRANSLATER register in ITS is only 4 bytes, but Hisilicon
expands the next 4 bytes to carry some IMPDEF information. That means, 8 bytes
data will be written to MSIAddress each time.

MSIAddr: |----4bytes----|----4bytes----|
	 |    MSIData   |    IMPDEF    |

There is no problem for ITS, because the next 4 bytes space is reserved in ITS.
But it will overwrite the 4 bytes memory following "sync_count". It's very
luckly that the previous and the next neighbour of "sync_count" are both aligned
by 8 bytes, so no problem is met now.

It's good to explicitly add a workaround:
1. Add gcc __attribute__((aligned(8))) to make sure that "sync_count" is always
   aligned by 8 bytes.
2. Add a "u64" union member to make sure the 4 bytes padding is always exist.

There is no functional change.

Can you add a better opening than the ITS translation register map?

I think arm_smmu_device.sync_count is better, or "sync_count member in 
the the smmu driver control struct".

I think that a more detailed comment is required.

Can you indent these 2 members? However - as discussed internally - this 
may have endian issue so better to declare full 64b struct.

My understanding is that MSI's are 32bit memory writes and as such the SMMU
performs a 32bit write in response to the MSI. If so then what is different
with the Hi16xx that causes a problem? Have you been able to able to adjust
the layout of the arm_smmu_device struct to demonstrate this?

Thanks,

Andrew Murray

Surely the u64 member inherently makes the union, and thus the u32 
member as well, 64-bit-aligned anyway?

Won't this already be aligned by the ABI?

Anyway, you'll need to swizzle things for big-endian, I suspect. Maybe you
can do something clever like making sync_count an array of two elements
and determining the offset based on the endianness. Or just keep it simple
like we do for things like struct qrwlock and struct qspinlock and use
#ifdefs.

Also -- you need a comment to explain this insanity :)

I don't think so - the CPUs should only ever be making word accesses to 
the u32 member, while the SMMU expects to be writing little-endian data 
to an ITS, so AFAICS the data word will always be at the lower address 
either way.

Although now that it's come up, the pre-existing issue of whether the 
byte order *within* that u32 comes out correct after its round-trip 
through the SMMU is something I need to run away and hurriedly think 
about...

These indent is inherited, to keep aligning with other members.

There is no endian issue, I have tested it on both little-endian and big-endian.

Yes, we really only need one step, "1." or "2.". As John Garry suggested, I will change it to "struct" mode.

This workaround is a special case, the sync_count is only written by ITS hardware,
and is only read by software. Although Hisilicon ITS will write 8 bytes at
MSIAddress(required it aligned by 8 bytes), but it can sure that the value of
MSIdata will be written at the lower 4 bytes(the start address of sync_count).
Because the type of sync_count is u32, so that CPU is also read the 4 bytes at
the lower address.

In normal, only 32bits MSIdata will be written into sync_count:
|----4bytes----|----4bytes----|
|  sync_count  |     xxxx     |

But for Hi16xx, the ITS hardware will write extra 32bits IMDDEF data into "xxxx". If
"xxxx" is the space of the next struct member, its value will be overwritten.

Yes, thanks. I'd actually got the union layout wrong in my head and not
realised that both member will start at the same address. Ok, so that works.

Ha, oops! Everything going into the command queue is swabbed, so I guess we
need to swab the data again in smp_cond_load_acquire(). I'll leave it with
you...
