I guess the initial definition of the number of interrupts should include the largest min/maxItems.

The diff that I sent is on top of your changes (patch 6/20). I expect that when the interrupts property is defined it should include the min/maxItems of all the available SoCs. Then use "if Soc" to narrow the range.

Krzysztof indicated here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/b1598405-b01f-426a-aaba-89f2d2dc9c2e@linaro.org/ that he would like to be the one applying the entire series through the Samsung SoC tree. If that's fine with everyone (it's OK with me). kind regards, Peter.

If that's fine with everyone (it's OK with me). As the serial changes are not ok (see my comments on them), I don't think they should be going through any tree at this point in time :) Also, in your 00/XX email, say what tree you expect them to go through so we have a chance to know that please. thanks, greg k-h

Hi, all I wanted to inquire about how do you all feel about calling this SoC by the Google "gs101" name. I believe the proper name for it should be the actual Samsung name, written in the silicon and reported in the Chip ID hardware: Exynos9845. This also touches the Tensor G2 (Exynos9855), Tensor G3 (Exynos9865), and possibly the "Tesla" SoCs. I do not think the Linux kernel should be a marketing material: it should reflect reality. The chip is almost 100% composed of Samsung Exynos IP blocks and should be called that way.

As you alluded to Tesla fsd and Axis artpec8 SoCs are also based on Exynos designs and support upstream uses the axis,artpec8* or tesla,fsd* compatibles. So using google,gs101 is consistent with the existing upstream naming scheme, for customized ASICs that were based off a Exynos design. But it also reflects the reality that this SoC is not a Exynos9845 as there is also a lot of Google owned and other third party IP integrated that is not found in Exynos9845. I guess the same is also true for `axis,artpec8` and `tesla,fsd` SoCs. IMO the SoC compatible string should be uniquely identifying the actual SoC, not a close relative. Regarding product_id you are correct this reads 0x09845000 but even within Samsung Exynos family there are examples where the register value does not match the SoC compatible. For example Exynos850 SoC has a product ID value of "E3830". Where the Linux compatible is matching the Samsung marketing name, not the internal/outdated name. regards, Peter. > > Yours, > > - Markuss > > On 10/11/23 01:49, Peter Griffin wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > > Firstly, thanks to everyone who reviewed the v1 series!

A quick question: Do you imply Exynos9845 exists outside of the context of Tensor G1? I used to believe Exynos9845 **is** Tensor G1. Also, what kind of Google IP are you talking about? I believe only the neural accelerator should be custom-ish. Additionally, I believe it having or not having Google IP is irrelevant: for example, the new Raspberry Pi 5 Broadcom SoC has a lot of Raspberry's own IP, but it's still called Broadcom as it's the real manufacturer and designer of the chip. > > I guess the same is also true for `axis,artpec8` and `tesla,fsd` SoCs. > IMO the SoC compatible string should be uniquely identifying the actual > SoC, not a close relative. > > Regarding product_id you are correct this reads 0x09845000 but even > within Samsung Exynos family there are examples where the register > value does not match the SoC compatible.

I did not know Exynos 850 is also not going under it's real name. Ultimately, I believe all of those SoCs should go under their technical name in the exynos/ directory. Another concern is that Google could in the future license other SoC: be it Qualcomm, Nvidia or anything. If we put completely different hw under google/ directory, does it really make sense? In that case, who'll maintain the google/ directory? Exynos people? Qualcomm people if they license it? Some other people? Then, I don't think Tensor G3 has a proper "GS" name, it goes by "Zuma" in decompiled kernel modules as far as I see. Finally, Tesla people already tried to submit drivers called by Tesla name, but which basically copied the functionality of the Exynos drivers. We would want to avoid that, ideally. My opinion is that all the Tesla and Google SoCs should be in the exynos/ directory, not only because they are basically Samsung Exynos, but also because they don't really need a separate directory: neither Google nor Tesla didn't neither manufacture or design those SoCs from scratch. The only reason I can think of for them to have it in a separate directory is maybe because Google and Tesla actually paid Samsung money for the right to call Exynos "Google designed" SoCs, but I believe the kernel should be left out of that. > > regards, > > Peter. > > > >> Yours, >> >> - Markuss >> >> On 10/11/23 01:49, Peter Griffin wrote: >>> Hi folks, >>> >>> Firstly, thanks to everyone who reviewed the v1 series!

That's a good argument. Indeed BCM2712 contains "New Raspberry Pi-developed ISP". https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/processors.html There aren't many patches but GPU is still called brcm,2712. For Tesla FSD, there was discussion and output was not very consisting. First, the name itself was used for everything - SoC architecture, one given SoC and eventually the board. https://lore.kernel.org/all/5ab62673-8d46-ec1d-1c80-696421ab69ca@canonical.com/ Eventually the last part - board - was renamed to "Evaluation board", but I don't know how true or real it is. See also: "I would argue that if this SoC shares the pinctrl, clock, spi, adc, and timer implementation with Exynos, we should consider it part of the Exynos family," https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAK8P3a31bCHNcNWrLX+QW+4RuK=DBpxLA_j5BFKxXxXKCT8PFQ@mail.gmail.com/ However it was also claimed: "AFA architecture is concerns both Exynos and FSD has completely different architecture (at least at HW level)." https://lore.kernel.org/all/07ce01d8091e$9a6fd9c0$cf4f8d40$@samsung.com/ >> I guess the same is also true for `axis,artpec8` and `tesla,fsd` SoCs. >> IMO the SoC compatible string should be uniquely identifying the actual >> SoC, not a close relative. >> >> Regarding product_id you are correct this reads 0x09845000 but even >> within Samsung Exynos family there are examples where the register >> value does not match the SoC compatible.

The initial technical name does not exist outside of vendor sources and part name. E.g. Winlink E850 board hardware manual calls it: "Samsung Exynos 850, S5E3830" and everywhere else Exynos 850 SoC is used. If you start calling it Exynos 3830, only me and Sam (who mainlined it) would know what is it. Everyone else, all users of kernel, would be confused. Therefore using well known final product name is for Exynos850 reasonable. > > Another concern is that Google could in the future license other SoC: be > it Qualcomm, Nvidia or anything.

Some other people? That's indeed a problem. Future Tesla SoC might have just few pieces similar to FSD. There would be no common SoC part, except the actual Tesla IP. Same for Google. Future GSXXX, if done by Qualcomm, will be absolutely different than GS101 and the only common part would be the TPU (Tensor). So now let's decide what is the common denominator: 1. Core SoC architecture, like buses, pinctrl, clocks, timers, serial, and many IP blocks, which constitute 95% of Devicetree bindings and drivers, 2. The one, big piece made by Samsung's customer: TPU, NPU or whatever. > > Then, I don't think Tensor G3 has a proper "GS" name, it goes by "Zuma" > in decompiled kernel modules as far as I see. > > Finally, Tesla people already tried to submit drivers called by Tesla > name, but which basically copied the functionality of the Exynos > drivers.

For some reason, although I know which, Cc-list is here trimmed and misses Alim... So standard reply follow (it makes me really, really grumpy, because it means you develop on some crazy old kernel or do not use tools which automate the process): Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people and lists to CC (and consider --no-git-fallback argument). It might happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux kernel. Best regards, Krzysztof

I used to believe Exynos9845 **is** Tensor G1. Yes, the gs101 SoC is *not* equivalent to the Exynos9845. Similar to how Tesla FSD licenses Exynos IP blocks, gs101 does not only comprise of Exynos IP blocks. The final design is unique to Google and comprises of several different vendor IP blocks (not only Exynos). > > > > Also, what kind of Google IP are you talking about?

It makes more sense to group board DT files together based on who distributes them. Having all the Pixel DT board files together allows Google to create a single device tree binary per SoC coupled with the set of device tree overlays per board variant (this is the dtbo.img) to ship to all their devices. If you look at all the in-market Pixel devices with Tensor SoCs, you will find that you could create one dtb (concatenate gs101.dtb, gs201.dtb, and zuma.dtb) and one dtbo image for 10 devices which significantly simplifies the maintenance, testing, and software distribution for all 10 of those products. > > That's indeed a problem.

The Exynos9845 is the name that Samsung LSI refers to as the gs101 SoC. However, it was made exclusively for Google with Google-designed IP. Since this chip is exclusive to the Pixel device line-up, it would make sense to use the well known name that is used by Google in the Pixel factory kernel.

What is the benefit of adding the gs101 board files under > the exynos folder? One clear benefit would be the ease of maintaining all the SoC files at once. It's not that it is a benefit of having it in the Exynos folder, it's more like that there's no benefit in having a separate folder, and that also comes with some additional issues. As I said earlier, it's pretty similar to the Raspberry Pi 5 example: It contains Raspberry's in-house IP, but it's still called properly Broadcom. The only difference is that Raspberry does not want its name on the chip, but Google does, despite it being just as custom as the Raspberry SoC is. The company's policy should not be a factor for this decision, in my opinion. However as you've added, gs101 is the same thing as Exynos9845, so I believe there's no question that the Exynos name should be specified somewhere too, because this is what's literally wired in hardware, and not just a "well-known name that is used by Google in the Pixel factory kernel". I agree though that just specifying the internal E9845 name could mislead some people, but GS101 is a similarly obscure name, and not even the real name of the hardware. > > Thanks, > Will > >>> Then, I don't think Tensor G3 has a proper "GS" name, it goes by "Zuma" >>> in decompiled kernel modules as far as I see. >>> >>> Finally, Tesla people already tried to submit drivers called by Tesla >>> name, but which basically copied the functionality of the Exynos >>> drivers.

I believe I misunderstood your point, and now that I'm reading it again I believe grouping device trees based on device manufacturer is definitely an interesting idea and it would definitely make sense for e.g. x86, where there's basically two big SoC vendors and all the DTBs for the motherboards in just those two folders would result in cluttering issues, however it is not currently done in arm64/boot/dts, where the subfolders are per-platform (exynos, qcom, mtk, tegra, ...) - with an exception of Tesla, which perhaps should be also corrected (also CONFIG_ARCH makes it clear what those directory names are actually meant to represent). If you think the current approach should be changed, it should be changed for all device-trees, and the CONFIG_ARCH_* should be also renamed, but also we'd need to convince everyone that this approach is superior to others... Maybe the solution to this is to have arch/arm64/boot/dts/exynos/google with Google's boards, and to have the SoC .dtsi files in arch/arm64/boot/dts/exynos, but I'm not sure. Additionally, I believe using .dtbo files like that (per board variant) is not really expected, instead each board should have its own .dtb file, compiled from a board .dts file which includes the SoC .dtsi file but this is not up to me to judge...

None of existing platforms do it. Nowhere. All chromebooks are split per SoC, not "how DTBs should be used and distributed". There is no google, no Chromebook directory. None of Samsung phones have it. No Samsung-phone directory. None of Google phones have Pixel directory. You are now trying to introduce completely new rule, not existing in any upstream platform. > What is the benefit of adding the gs101 board files under > the exynos folder? To make it easier for us to maintain. You won't be maintaining any of these platforms. None of Google folks contributed patches or maintained any of these platforms so far, so it is up to upstream community to decide what is the most convenience way to maintain the kernel sources.

Yes, for the drivers for the similar hardware we have it. We have drivers for Chromebook's Embedded Controller - let's put it in one place, so that maintenance and review will be easier. Now for DTS, the common hardware is not "Samsung phones", but "Samsung SoC". We organize it like: 1. Samsung phones with Samsung SoC -> arm64/dts/samsung 2. Samsung phones with Qualcomm SoC -> arm64/dts/qcom because the main common part is the SoC, not the rest of the phone. There is no reviewer or maintainer for Samsung phones. There is no need for such. No benefits, almost not many common parts except some touchscreen. Why Google Pixel suddenly should be exception from the way we handle DTS of all ARM64 platforms?

Also Exynos850 as I pointed out previously. I think that is the wrong approach and very confusing. This SoC is not commonly known by anyone as Exynos9845. The same as the Exynos850 isn't known by anyone apart from Samsung folks as Exynos 3830, and the tesla fsd SoC isn't known by whatever internal Samsung name that presumably had.

I used to believe Exynos9845 **is** Tensor G1. You are correct. William clarified that point for us. Thanks William! > > Also, what kind of Google IP are you talking about? I believe only the > neural accelerator should be custom-ish. This should not be considered an exhaustive list, but whilst looking in the downstream public drivers at least the following Google IPs in the SoC TPU/ML accelerator Bigocean av1 video accelerator Emerald hill compression engine Camera ISP blocks (AoC) Always on Compute Plus of course Arm IPs (CPU+GPU), Synopsis IPs (USB, PCI. phys) etc. The Exynos based IPs tend to be for things like pinmux, clocks, i2c, spi, uart, mfc, display controller, timer etc. > > Additionally, I believe it having or not having Google IP is irrelevant: > for example, the new Raspberry Pi 5 Broadcom SoC has a lot of > Raspberry's own IP, but it's still called Broadcom as it's the real > manufacturer and designer of the chip. I think RPi / Broadcom is a very different situation to this. The original SoC in RPi 1 was wholly designed by Broadcom, and marketed as a Broadcom SoC [1]. Further iterations of the SoC until now have also not had RPi IP integrated. RPi themselves refer to them as "Broadcom SoCs" on their webpage [2], so it is completely expected that they live in a broadcom directory. BCM2717 has integrated the RPi ISP, but to all intents and purposes this is a Broadcom owned and designed SoC, albeit only now sold to one customer.

Some other people? I expect Google, or Google sponsored devs (as is the case for Linaro) to be helping maintain the Google SoCs upstream.

We would want to avoid that, ideally. As you can see from this series we are not proposing that. Any IPs that use Exynos IP we are using the existing upstream driver and enhance it where we have features that aren't present upstream. > > My opinion is that all the Tesla and Google SoCs should be in the > exynos/ directory, not only because they are basically Samsung Exynos, > but also because they don't really need a separate directory: neither > Google nor Tesla didn't neither manufacture or design those SoCs from > scratch. Who manufactures it seems irrelevant. Qcom and Broadcom don't manufacture their SoCs either, but they still live in qcom and broadcom directories upstream. Whether they designed the SoC from scratch or not is also IMO largely irrelevant. In many cases the upstream community has no way to determine whether things were outsourced or not anyway. Did Apple outsource things in their silicon design? Who knows, and why do we care? It's an apple branded chip in an apple branded product let's call the directory apple. Interestingly apple uses the same uart driver as Tensor, when I check back through the commits in the driver. fcbba344907afe26da487f1ed0b0e285c06a547b tty: serial: samsung_tty: Add support for Apple UARTs Apple SoCs are a distant descendant of Samsung designs and use yet another variant of their UART style, with different interrupt handling. > The only reason I can think of for them to have it in a > separate directory is maybe because Google and Tesla actually paid > Samsung money for the right to call Exynos "Google designed" SoCs, but I > believe the kernel should be left out of that. Also the fact that they contain IPs not found in Samsung designed devices, aren't known to most people as Exynos, and the maintenance issues of having all the Google, Tesla, Axis, Exynos based SoCs in the same directory (and who knows how many other ASIC customers in the future). Ultimately it is Krzysztof's decision I think. I followed what he had previously accepted for other SoCs for consistency and also because it seemed like the correct approach to help scale up and ease the maintenance burden. If I look at the number of tensor based SoCs, phones per SoC and board variants per phone model, then you end up having a lot of files in the exynos directory over time. regards, Peter

I know nothing about Tesla FSD SoC internals I'm afraid. But it seems plausible to me that you would not goto the expense of designing your own SoC if something existed off the shelf you could just buy. I suspect the original SoC series for Tesla, Tensor etc tend to look very "exynos" centric as it is the non differentiating bits of IP, but also the IP that is required first to bring up the platform. > > >> I guess the same is also true for `axis,artpec8` and `tesla,fsd` SoCs. > >> IMO the SoC compatible string should be uniquely identifying the actual > >> SoC, not a close relative. > >> > >> Regarding product_id you are correct this reads 0x09845000 but even > >> within Samsung Exynos family there are examples where the register > >> value does not match the SoC compatible.

Has having Alim maintain tesla-fsd in a separate directory caused issues? I structured it like this as I thought it would scale better, and also because it was consistent with what you had accepted previously for other Exynos derived SoCs like Tesla. > > > > > Then, I don't think Tensor G3 has a proper "GS" name, it goes by "Zuma" > > in decompiled kernel modules as far as I see. > > > > Finally, Tesla people already tried to submit drivers called by Tesla > > name, but which basically copied the functionality of the Exynos > > drivers.

I can add Alim and others to CC next time around. I didn't notice he was listed as a reviewer of Exynos. I thought it was only for Tesla FSD SoC. My apologies Alim! Thanks, Peter.

Not that different. Broadcom designed previous chip. Samsung designed previous chip. Broadcom designed BCM2717 with RPi ISP.

What I don't agree is with putting it into Google, because Google wants to have all its phones in one place. That's not the argument we used for any other SoCs or products. We do not make decisions based on marketing or packaging wishes of some company. Otherwise Samsung phones will be together. Toradex boards (also spanning over NXP and TI) as well. Chromebooks DTS as well (oh, Doug would be happy, I guess :) ).

I agreed on Tesla FSD in its own place mainly because of arguments provided that time: it's entirely different architecture. These arguments were not backed by actual facts or proofs, though. The upstreamed parts of FSD turned out to be... only Exynos specific. There is literally nothing non-Exynos in upstream. Therefore knowing the outcome I would say: put FSD into samsung directory. About GS101 I have the same questions - how similar it is? I am pretty sure that 95% of upstreamed code (DTS and drivers) will be Exynos-like (except for missing upstream support for generations of Exynos SoC!). But I cannot really judge and I am not going to investigate downstream code to figure this out. Thus if you insist that SoC architecture and core features are quite different from Exynos family, then sure, I can live with it. Best regards, Krzysztof

Most people don't know Tensor G1 SoC as Exynos > 9845. I am not sure if Exynos 3830 and the like would be *that* confusing to users. It does not seem like the internal names (like Exynos 3830) are well guarded secret. The wikipedia article for Exynos even sort of gives these names for recent Exynos models, Exynos 850 is called S5E3830 for example, see section for Exynos 800: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos#Exynos_800_series Exynos 9845/S5E9845 is not mentioned in the article though.

Another small benefit of putting GS101 in exynos/ is that it makes it easier for future contributors to find the code. If someone is for example trying to add mainline support for their Samsung Galaxy S21 (Exynos 2100/Exynos 9840) and want to find somewhat related boards to draw inspiration from then it is not clear at a first glance that google/gs101-* are (somewhat) related.

I honestly don't care too much about where the DT files are stored -- arch/arm64/boot/dts/exynos vs .../dts/google. I didn't think this would be such a hot topic! If this makes it easier for you to maintain, then so be it. Just to note, I do understand what I proposed is something new -- group DT files based on product owner vs original SoC designer -- and think it warrants consideration since it does make it easier to distinguish which DT files are associated with each product as well as package and distribute them easily, but that can be a discussion for another time when we get more upstreamed.

Honesty, I don't care too much about where the files are kept. I agree it makes sense to keep them with the other Exynos DT files due to similarities with the other Exynos SoCs. I think the grouping based on vendor under the exynos folder make a lot of sense though considering how many DT files we will accumulate over time. > > Additionally, I believe using .dtbo files like that (per board variant) is > not really expected, instead each board should have its own .dtb file, > compiled from a board .dts file which includes the SoC .dtsi file but this > is not up to me to judge...

I think organizing the DT files based on a product is relevant because it makes it easier to identify what files are associated with the final product(s). Leaving it up to the user just means you are forcing everyone to roll their own scripts to re-organize/postprocess the kernel artifacts for their products.

In addition, gs101 is used by the Android userspace to refer to the SoC that Pixel 6/6 Pro/6a use. The same goes for gs201 and zuma. So I think it's important to keep the names consistent. I don't think the Exynos 9845 is ever referenced in the Android vendor userspace nor is it ever used by tech bloggers/writer/ enthusiast developers when referring to the Pixel 6 device. So if upstream decides to use the term 9845, they will just be introducing even more confusion. I also want to point out that I don't really like the Tensor name either. This is equivalent to the "Snapdragon" marketing name that is not used either in the Qualcomm device tree. In my opinion, gs101 is equivant to the "msmXYZ" and "smXYZ" names, e.g. msm8996 and sm8650.

Hi folks, Firstly, thanks to everyone who reviewed the v1 series! V2 incorporates all the review feedback received so far. This series adds initial SoC support for the GS101 SoC and also initial board support for Pixel 6 phone (Oriole). The gs101 / Tensor SoC is also used in Pixel6a (bluejay) and Pixel 6 Pro (raven) phones. Currently DT is added for the gs101 SoC and Oriole. As you can see from the patches the SoC is based on a Samsung Exynos SoC, and therefore lots of the low level Exynos drivers can be re-used. The support added in this series consists of: * cpus * pinctrl * some CCF implementation * watchdog * uart * gpio This is enough to boot through to a busybox initramfs and shell using an upstream kernel though :) More platform support will be added over the following weeks and months. Note 1: I've removed the dtbo overlay from v2 submission and will re-submit once I have appropriate documentation for it. Note 2: I've left the bootargs in dts with earlycon for now, for two reasons. 1) The bootloader hangs if bootargs isn't present in the dtb as it tries to re-write this with additional bootargs. 2) there is a issue whereby the full serial console doesn't come up properly if earlycon isn't also specified. This issue needs further investigation. Note 3: In `dt-bindings: pinctrl: samsung: add google,gs101-pinctrl compatible` I tried to narrow the interrupts check to google,gs101-pinctrl but I still see a warning: gs101-oriole.dtb: pinctrl@174d0000: interrupts: [[0, 0, 4],[..] is too long If anyone can educate me on what I've done wrong here it would be most appreciated! kind regards, Peter.
