Dump the state of the GPU. This feature is useful for debugging purposes.
---
Hi everybody!

For those looking for a branch instead, see [0].

I know this patch has (possibly many) issues. It is meant as a
discussion around the GEM abstractions for now. In particular, I am
aware of the series introducing Rust support for vmalloc and friends -
that is some very nice work! :)

Danilo, as we've spoken before, I find it hard to work with `rust: drm:
gem: Add GEM object abstraction`. My patch is based on v1, but IIUC
the issue remains in v2: it is not possible to build a gem::ObjectRef
from a bindings::drm_gem_object*.

Furthermore, gem::IntoGEMObject contains a Driver: drv::Driver
associated type:

```
+/// Trait that represents a GEM object subtype
+pub trait IntoGEMObject: Sized + crate::private::Sealed {
+    /// Owning driver for this type
+    type Driver: drv::Driver;
+
```

While this does work for Asahi and Nova - two drivers that are written
entirely in Rust - it is a blocker for any partially-converted drivers.
This is because there is no drv::Driver at all, only Rust functions that
are called from an existing C driver.

IMHO, are unlikely to see full rewrites of any existing C code. But
partial convertions allows companies to write new features entirely in
Rust, or to migrate to Rust in small steps. For this reason, I think we
should strive to treat partially-converted drivers as first-class
citizens.

Just to link it in for other people reading this mail. [1] adds support for
other kernel allocators than `Kmalloc`, in particular `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc`.

This is due to `ObjectRef` being typed to `T: IntoGEMObject`. The "raw" GEM
object is embedded in a driver specific GEM object type `T`. Without knowing
`T` we can't `container_of!` to the driver specific type `T`.

If your driver specific GEM object type is in C, Rust doesn't know about it
and hence, can't handle it. We can't drop the generic type `T` here,
otherwise Rust code can't get the driver specific GEM object from a raw GEM
object pointer we receive from GEM object lookups, e.g. in IOCTLs.

This accociated type is required as well. For instance, we need to be able to
create a handle from a GEM object. Without the `Driver` type we can't derive
the `File` type to call drm_gem_handle_create().

This is a bit of a tricky one. Generally, I'm fine with anything that helps
implementing drivers partially in Rust. However, there are mainly two things
we have to be very careful with.

(1) I think this one is pretty obvious, but we can't break the design of Rust
abstractions in terms of safety and soundness for that.

(2) We have to be very careful of where we draw the line. We can't define an
arbitrary boundary of where C code can attach to Rust abstractions for one
driver and then do the same thing for another driver that wants to attach at a
different boundary, this simply doesn't scale in terms of maintainability.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that with
abstractions for a full Rust driver you can't do what you want without
violating (1) or (2).

The problem with separate abstractions is also (2), how do we keep this
maintainable when there are multiple drivers asking for different boundaries?

However, if you have a proposal that helps your use case that doesn't violate (1)
and (2) and still keeps full Rust drivers functional I'm absolutely open to it.

One thing that comes to my mindis , you could probably create some driver specific
"dummy" types to satisfy the type generics of the types you want to use. Not sure
how well this works out though.

Hi Daniel,

I know this is an RFC, but are you trying to avoid Cc-ing Panthor maintainers

Best regards,
Liviu

Definitely by mistake. Boris is my coworker, but everybody else should have been on cc for sure.

My apologies.

Hi Daniel,

I'm not a Rust expert so I'll have to defer to others on Rust-style.
I'll try to concentrate on Mali-specific parts. Apologies if you feel
this is too early, but hopefully it gives some ideas on how to improve
before it actually gets merged.

This is defining the ABI to userspace and as such we'd need a way of
exporting this for userspace tools to use. The C approach is a header in
include/uabi. I'd also suggest making it obvious this enum can't be
rearranged (e.g. a comment, or assigning specific numbers). There's also
some ABI below which needs exporting in some way, along with some
documentation (comments may be sufficient) explaining how e.g.
header_size works.

I'm not sure how much thought you've put into these registers. Most of
these are 'boring'. And for a "standalone" dump we'd want identification
registers.

AS 0 is interesting (because it's the MMU for the firmware) but we'd
also be interested in another active address spaces. Hardcoding the
zeros here looks like the abstraction is probably wrong.

In C you could just use vzalloc(), I think this could be done in the
above by passing in __GFP_ZERO.

I see below that the expectation is that is_end() is true before this is
called. But I find returning the "capacity" as the size here confusing.
Would it be better to combine is_end() and dump() and have a single
function which either returns the dump or an error if !is_end()?

There's no need to use the _safe() variety here - we're not modifying
the list.

NIT: Personally I'd use a local u32 and assign the "out_count" at the
end. This sort of dereference in a loop can significantly affect
compiler optimisations. Although you probably get away with it here.

This should return an error (-ENOTSUPP ? ). Not that the return value is
used...

It would be better to avoid generating the dump if panthor_core_dump()
is a no-op.

This doesn't look right - is this left from debugging?

Was this a manual extraction, or is this scripted? Ideally we wouldn't
have two locations to maintain the register list.

These look like they should be in a more generic header - but maybe I
don't understand Rust ;)

From this I presume it was scripted. These MCU_CONTROL_xxx defines are
not GPU registers but values for the GPU registers. We might need to
make changes to the C header to make it easier to convert to Rust. Or
indeed generate both the C and Rust headers from a common source.

Generally looks reasonable, although as it stands this would of course
be a much smaller patch in plain C ;) It would look better if you split
the Rust-enabling parts from the actual new code. I also think there
needs to be a little more thought into what registers are useful to dump
and some documentation on the dump format.

Naïve Rust question: there are a bunch of unwrap() calls in the code
which to my C-trained brain look like BUG_ON()s - and in C I'd be
complaining about them. What is the Rust style here? AFAICT they are all
valid (they should never panic) but it makes me uneasy when I'm reading
the code.

Hi Steven, thanks for the review!

I will defer this topic to others in the Rust for Linux community. I think this is the first time this scenario comes up in Rust code?

FYI I am working on a tool in Mesa to decode the dump [0]. Since the tool is also written in Rust, and given the RFC nature of this patch, I just copied and pasted things for now, including panthor_regs.rs.

IMHO, the solution here is to use cbindgen to automatically generate a C header to place in include/uapi. This will ensure that the header is in sync with the Rust code. I will do that in v2.

Not much, to be honest. I based myself a bit on the registers dumped by the panfrost driver if they matched something in panthor_regs.h

What would you suggest here? Boris also suggested dumping a snapshot of the FW interface.

(Disclaimer: Most of my experience is in video codecs, so I must say I am a bit new to GPU code)

True, but this will be reworked to use Danilo’s work on the new allocators. This means that we
won’t have to manually call vmalloc here.

Sure, that is indeed better.

I think that returning 0 in stubs is a bit of a pattern throughout the kernel? But sure, I can
change that to ENOTSUPP.

Yes, I wanted a way for people to test this patch if they wanted to, and dumping just the failed
jobs wouldn’t work for this purpose.

OTOH, I am thinking about adding a debugfs knob to control this, what do you think?

This would allow us to dump successful jobs in a tidy manner. Something along the lines of
"dump the next N successful jobs”. Failed jobs would always be dumped, though.

This was generated by a Python script. Should the script be included in the patch then?

Ideally these should be exposed by the kernel crate - i.e.: the code in the rust top-level directory.

I specifically did not want to touch that in this first submission. Maybe a separate patch would be in order here.

Yeah, the unwraps() have to go. I didn’t give much thought to error handling here.

Although, as you pointed out, most of these should never panic, unless the size of the dump was miscomputed.

What do you suggest instead? I guess that printing a warning and then returning from panthor_core_dump() would be a good course of action. I don’t think there’s a Rust equivalent to WARN_ONCE, though.

You could also just define those structures in a C header directly and use it
from Rust, can't you?

Sure, I am open to any approach here. Although this looks a bit reversed to me.

i.e.: why should I declare these structs in a separate language and file, and then use them in Rust through bindgen? Sounds clunky.

Right now, they are declared right next to where they are used in the code, i.e.: in the same Rust file. And so long as they’re #[repr(C)] we know that an equivalent C version can generated by cbindgen.

The kernel exposes the uAPI as C header files. You just choose to do the
implementation in the kernel in Rust.

Hence, I'd argue that the uAPI header is the actual source. So, we should
generate stuff from those headers and not the other way around I think.

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to generate uAPI header files in general.

How do we ensure that the generated header file are useful for userspace in
terms of readability and documentation?

How do we (easily) verify that changes in the Rust code don't break the uAPI by
due to leading to changes in the generated header files?

Do we have guarantees that future releases of cbindgen can't break anything?

I think I'm on the uapi should remain in C for now, we define uapi
types with the kernel types and we have downstream tools to scan and
parse them to deal with alignments and padding (I know FEX relies on
it), so I think we should be bindgen from uapi headers into rust for
now. There might be a future where this changes, but that isn't now
and I definitely don't want to mix C and rust uapi in one driver.

I realized that there would be issues with my original approach.

No worries, I will fix this in v2.

Agreed, I think with what you say here (changes required to external
tooling), even if the generation was done by `rustc` itself and
guaranteed to be stable, it would still be impractical at this point
in time.

Yeah I'm not sure a partially converted driver where the main driver is
still C really works, that pretty much has to throw out all the type
safety in the interfaces.

What I think might work is if such partial drivers register as full rust
drivers, and then largely delegate the implementation to their existing C
code with a big "safety: trust me, the C side is bug free" comment since
it's all going to be unsafe :-)

It would still be a big change, since all the driver's callbacks need to
switch from container_of to upcast to their driver structure to some small
rust shim (most likely, I didn't try this out) to get at the driver parts
on the C side. And I think you also need a small function to downcast to
the drm base class. But that should be all largely mechanical.

More freely allowing to mix&match is imo going to be endless pains. We
kinda tried that with the atomic conversion helpers for legacy kms
drivers, and the impendance mismatch was just endless amounts of very
subtle pain. Rust will exacerbate this, because it encodes semantics into
the types and interfaces. And that was with just one set of helpers, for
rust we'll likely need a custom one for each driver that's partially
written in rust.

Nice to see there's a user space tool - it's always good to signpost
such things because it shows how the interface is going to be used.

I note it also shows that the "panthor_regs.rs" would ideally be shared.
For arm64 we have been moving to generating system register descriptions
from a text source (see arch/arm64/tools/sysreg) - I'm wondering whether
something similar is needed for Panthor to generate both C and Rust
headers? Although perhaps that's overkill, sysregs are certainly
somewhat more complex.

I would think it useful to have a copy of the identification registers
so that it's immediately clear from a dump which GPU it was from, so:

* GPU_ID
* GPU_L2_FEATURES
* GPU_CORE_FEATURES
* GPU_TILER_FEATURES
* GPU_MEM_FEATURES
* GPU_MMU_FEATURES
* GPU_CSF_ID
* GPU_THREAD_MAX_THREAD
* GPU_THREAD_MAX_WORKGROUP_SIZE
* GPU_THREAD_MAX_BARRIER_SIZE
* GPU_TEXTURE_FEATURES (multiple registers)
* GPU_COHERENCY_FEATURES

(Basically the information already presented to user space in struct
drm_panthor_gpu_info)

In terms of the registers you've got:
* _READY_ registers seem like an odd choice, I'd go for the _PRESENT_
registers which describe the hardware. I'll admit it would be
interesting to know if the GPU didn't actually power up all cores, but
because this is a snapshot after the job fails it wouldn't answer the
question as to whether the cores were powered up while the job was
running, so I'm not convinced it makes sense for this interface.

* _INT_MASK/_INT_STAT - again because this is a snapshot after the job
completes, I don't think this would actually be very useful.

* Address space registers - I'm not sure these will actually contain
anything useful by the time the job is dumped. Information on page
faults caused by a job could be interesting, but it might require
another mechanism. As mentioned below AS 0 is the MMU for the firmware,
which should be boring unless firmware is the thing being debugged. But
generally I'd expect a different mechanism for that because firmware
debugging isn't tied to particular jobs.


As Boris says a snapshot of the FW interface could also be interesting.
That's not from registers, so it should be similar to dumping BOs.

It depends whether the stub is "successful" or not. The usual pattern is
that the stubs do nothing because there is nothing to do (the feature is
disabled) and so are successful at performing that nothing.

Although really here the problem is that we shouldn't be preparing the
dump arguments if dumping isn't built in. So the stub is at the wrong
level - it would be better to stub dump_job() instead.

Yes that could be very useful for debugging purposes - although I
believe devcoredump will drop new dumps if there's already an unread one
- so I'm not sure "N successful jobs" will work well, it might just have
to be a (self-resetting) flag for "dump next job".

It's useful to know (it means there's no point reviewing every line). I
think we need some way of avoiding multiple places to maintain the
register list - a script to covert from C would be one way, but
obviously the script then needs to be available too.

A separate patch adding to the kernel crate is the right way to go. Keep
it in the same series to demonstrate there is a user for the new functions.

In C I'd be handling at least the allocation failures and returning
errors up the stack - most likely with some sort of WARN_ON() or similar
(because these are 'should never happen' programming bugs - but trivial
to recover from).

For the try_from(size).unwrap() type cases, I've no idea to be honest -
Ideally they would be compile time checks. I've very little clue about
Rust but on the surface it looks like you've got the wrong type because
it's checking that things don't overflow when changing type. Of course
the standard C approach is to just do the type conversion and pretend
you're sure that an overflow can never happen ;)

In particular for alloc<T>() - core::mem::size_of::<T>() is returning a
value (of type usize) which is then being converted to isize. A C
programmer wouldn't have any qualms about assigning a sizeof() into an
int, even though theorectically that could overflow if the structure was
massive. But this should really be a compile time check as it's clearly
dead code at runtime.

I humbly disagree here.

I know this is a bit tangential, but earlier this year I converted a bunch of codec libraries to Rust in v4l2. That worked just fine with the C codec drivers. There were no regressions as per our test tools.

The main idea is that you isolate all unsafety to a single point: so long as the C code upholds the safety guarantees when calling into Rust, the Rust layer will be safe. This is just the same logic used in unsafe blocks in Rust itself, nothing new really.

This is not unlike what is going on here, for example:


```
+unsafe extern "C" fn open_callback<T: BaseDriverObject<U>, U: BaseObject>(
+ raw_obj: *mut bindings::drm_gem_object,
+ raw_file: *mut bindings::drm_file,
+) -> core::ffi::c_int {
+ // SAFETY: The pointer we got has to be valid.
+ let file = unsafe {
+ file::File::<<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drv::Driver>::File>::from_raw(raw_file)
+ };
+ let obj =
+ <<<U as IntoGEMObject>::Driver as drv::Driver>::Object as IntoGEMObject>::from_gem_obj(
+ raw_obj,
+ );
+
+ // SAFETY: from_gem_obj() returns a valid pointer as long as the type is
+ // correct and the raw_obj we got is valid.
+ match T::open(unsafe { &*obj }, &file) {
+ Err(e) => e.to_errno(),
+ Ok(()) => 0,
+ }
+}
```

We have to trust that the kernel is passing in a valid pointer. By the same token, we can choose to trust drivers if we so desire.

> safety in the interfaces.

Can you expand on that?

In particular, I believe that we should ideally be able to convert from a C "struct Foo * " to a Rust “FooRef" for types whose lifetimes are managed either by the kernel itself or by a C driver. In practical terms, this has run into the issues we’ve been discussing in this thread, but there may be solutions e.g.:

I haven’t thought of anything yet - which is why I haven’t replied. OTOH, IIRC, Faith seems to have something in mind that can work with the current abstractions, so I am waiting on her reply.

This is what I want too :) but I can’t see how your proposed approach is better, at least at a cursory glance. It is a much bigger change, though, which is a clear drawback.

That’s exactly what I am trying to avoid. In other words, I want to find a way to use the same abstractions and the same APIs so that we do not run precisely into that problem.

Essentially what you've run into, in a pure rust driver we assume that
everything is living in the rust world. In a partial conversion you might
want to freely convert GEMObject back&forth, but everything else
(drm_file, drm_device, ...) is still living in the pure C world. I think
there's roughly three solutions to this:

- we allow this on the rust side, but that means the associated
  types/generics go away. We drop a lot of enforced type safety for pure
  rust drivers.

- we don't allow this. Your mixed driver is screwed.

- we allow this for specific functions, with a pinky finger promise that
  those rust functions will not look at any of the associated types. From
  my experience these kind of in-between worlds functions are really
  brittle and a pain, e.g. rust-native driver people might accidentally
  change the code to again assume a drv::Driver exists, or people don't
  want to touch the code because it's too risky, or we're forced to
  implement stuff in C instead of rust more than necessary.

This might work, but I see issue here anywhere where the rust abstraction
adds a few things of its own to the rust side type, and not just a type
abstraction that compiles completely away and you're only left with the C
struct in the compiled code. And at least for kms some of the ideas we've
tossed around will do this. And once we have that, any dummy types we
invent to pretend-wrap the pure C types for rust will be just plain wrong.

And then you have the brittleness of that mixed world approach, which I
don't think will end well.

So an idea that just crossed my mind how we can do the 3rd option at least
somewhat cleanly:

- we limit this to thin rust wrappers around C functions, where it's
  really obvious there's no assumptions that any of the other rust
  abstractions are used.

- we add a new MixedGEMObject, which ditches all the type safety stuff and
  associated types, and use that for these limited wrappers. Those are
  obviously convertible between C and rust side in both directions,
  allowing mixed driver code to use them.

- these MixedGEMObject types also ensure that the rust wrappers cannot
  make assumptions about what the other driver structures are, so we
  enlist the compiler to help us catch issues.

- to avoid having to duplicate all these functions, we can toss in a Deref
  trait so that you can use an IntoGEMObject instead with these functions,
  meaning you can seamlessly coerce from the pure rust driver to the mixed
  driver types, but not the other way round.

This still means that eventually you need to do the big jump and switch
over the main driver/device to rust, but you can start out with little
pieces here&there. And that existing driver rust code should not need any
change when you do the big switch.

And on the safety side we also don't make any compromises, pure rust
drivers still can use all the type constraints that make sense to enforce
api rules. And mixed drivers wont accidentally call into rust code that
doesn't cope with the mixed world.

Mixed drivers still rely on "trust me, these types match" internally, but
there's really nothing we can do about that. Unless you do a full
conversion, in which case the rust abstractions provide that guarantee.

And with the Deref it also should not make the pure rust driver
abstraction more verbose or have any other impact on them.

Entirely untested, so might be complete nonsense :-)

Rust has infallible conversions (called from instead of try_from) for
the cases where the conversion is infallible. Some thoughts on the
various examples:

if isize::try_from(size).unwrap() == isize::MAX {
    return Err(EINVAL);
}
This is saying:
* If size is exactly isize::MAX, then return EINVAL.
* If size is greater than isize::MAX, then BUG.
It should probably instead be:
if size >= isize::MAX as usize {
    return Err(EINVAL);
}

bindings::__vmalloc_noprof(size.try_into().unwrap(), ...)
This should probably have handling for size being too big, but I guess
it will go away when this code uses the Rust vmalloc wrappers.

alloc.alloc_header(HeaderType::Registers, sz.try_into().unwrap());
Change alloc_header to take an usize instead of u32. Then the cast goes away.

bos.push(bo, GFP_KERNEL).unwrap();
The error isn't possible because the vector is pre-allocated, but we
can still handle it by returning ENOMEM.

This code doesn't properly handle when T requires a large alignment.

Using references for functions that allocate is generally wrong.
References imply that you don't have ownership of the memory, but
allocator functions would normally return ownership of the allocation.
As-is, the code seems to leak these allocations.

You don't write to this memory, so I would avoid the mutable reference.

You don't need `as _` here. You can just pass a mutable reference and
Rust will automatically cast it to raw pointer.

Creating a reference requires that it isn't dangling, so the safety
requirements should require that.

Also, panthor_core_dump should be unsafe.

Can you expand a bit on this? IIRC the alignment of a structure/enum will be dictated 
by the field with the largest alignment requirement, right? Given that the largest primitive
allowed in the kernel is u64/i64, shouldn’t this suffice, e.g.:

 +            assert!(size % 8 == 0, "Allocation size must be 8-byte aligned");

All the memory must be given to dev_coredumpv(), which will then take
ownership.  dev_coredumpv() will free all the memory, so there should be no
leaks here.

I’ve switched to KVec in v2, so that will also cover the error paths,
which do leak in this version, sadly.

As-is, all the memory is pre-allocated as a single chunk. When space is carved
for a given T, a &mut is returned so that the data can be written in-place at
the right spot in said chunk.

Not only there shouldn’t be any leaks, but I can actually decode this from
userspace.

I agree that this pattern isn’t usual, but I don’t see anything
incorrect. Maybe I missed something?

It's possible for Rust types to have a larger alignment using e.g.
#[repr(align(64))].

Interesting. So the memory is deallocated when self is destroyed? A
bit unusual, but I agree it is correct if so. Sorry for the confusion
:)

Just had a long discussion with Daniel regarding this panthor_regs.rs
auto-generation, and, while I agree this is something we'd rather do if
we intend to maintain the C and rust code base forever, I'm not
entirely convinced this is super useful here because:

1. the C code base is meant to be entirely replaced by a rust driver.
Of course, that's not going to happen overnight, so maybe it'd be worth
having this autogen script but...

2. the set of register and register fields seems to be pretty stable.
We might have a few things to update to support v11, v12, etc, but it
doesn't look like the layout will suddenly become completely different.

3. the number of registers and fields is somewhat reasonable, which
means we should be able to catch mistakes during review. And in case
one slip through, it's not the end of the world either because this
stays internal to the kernel driver. We'll either figure it out when
rust-ifying panthor components, or that simply means the register is
not used and the mistake is harmless until the register starts being
used

4. we're still unclear on how GPU registers should be exposed in rust,
so any script we develop is likely to require heavy changes every time
we change our mind

For all these reasons, I think I'd prefer to have Daniel focus on a
proper rust abstraction to expose GPU registers and fields the rust-way,
rather than have him spend days/weeks on a script that is likely to be
used a couple times (if not less) before the driver is entirely
rewritten in rust. I guess the only interesting aspect remaining after
the conversion is done is conciseness of register definitions if we
were using some sort of descriptive format that gets converted to rust
code, but it comes at the cost of maintaining this script. I'd probably
have a completely different opinion if the Mali register layout was a
moving target, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

FYI, Daniel has a python script parsing panthor_regs.h and generating
panthor_regs.rs out of it which he can share if you're interested.

Regards,

Boris
Daniel Almeida July 23, 2024, 5:23 p.m. UTC | #21
The script (and the panthor_regs.rs file it generates) is at

https://gitlab.collabora.com/dwlsalmeida/for-upstream/-/commit/783be55acf8d3352901798efb0118cce43e7f60b

As you can see, it’s all regexes. It works, but I agree
that it’s simpler to generate something more idiomatic by hand.

So I think we need some more alignment on how the 'Rustification'
(oxidation?) of the driver is going to happen.

My understanding was that the intention was to effectively start a
completely separate driver (I call it "Rustthor" here) with the view
that it would eventually replace (the C) Panthor. Rustthor would be
written by taking the C driver and incrementally converting parts to
Rust, but as a separate code base so that 'global' refactoring can be
done when necessary without risking the stability of Panthor. Then once
Rustthor is feature complete the Panthor driver can be dropped.
Obviously we'd keep the UABI the same to avoid user space having to care.

I may have got the wrong impression - and I'm certainly not saying the
above is how we have to do it. But I think we need to go into it with
open-eyes if we're proposing a creeping Rust implementation upstream of
the main Mali driver. That approach will make ensuring stability harder
and will make the bar for implementing large refactors higher (we'd need
significantly more review and testing for each change to ensure there
are no regressions).

Just to put my cards on the table. I'm not completely convinced a Rust
driver is necessarily an improvement, and I saw this as more of an
experiment - let's see what a Rust driver looks like and then we can
decide which is preferable. I'd like to be "proved wrong" and be shown a
Rust driver which is much cleaner and easier to work with, but I still
need convincing ;)

Yes, if we ever had a major change to registers we'd probably also want
a new driver.

So I think this depends on whether we want a "complete" set of registers
in Rust. If we're just going to add registers when needed then fair
enough, we can review the new registers against the C header (and/or the
specs) to check they look correct. I'd really prefer not to merge a load
of wrong Rust code which isn't used.

This is the real crux of the matter to my mind. We don't actually know
what we want in Rust, so we can't write the Rust. At the moment Daniel
has generated (broken) Rust from the C. The benefit of that is that the
script can be tweaked to generate a different form in the future if needed.

Having a better source format such that the auto-generation can produce
correct headers means that the Rust representation can change over time.
There's even the possibility of improving the C. Specifically if the
constants for the register values were specified better they could be
type checked to ensure they are used with the correct register - I see
Daniel has thought about this for Rust, it's also possible in C
(although admittedly somewhat clunky).

That's fine - but if we're not generating the register definitions, then
the Rust files need to be hand modified. I.e. fine to start with a quick
hack of generating the skeleton (once), but then we (all) throw away the
script and review it like a hand-written file. What Daniel posted as
obviously machine generated as it had been confused by the (ambiguous) C
file.

But to me this conflicts with the statement that "we're still unclear on
how GPU registers should be exposed in rust" - which implies that a
script could be useful to make the future refactors easier.

Thanks for sharing this Daniel. I think this demonstrates that the C
source (at least as it currently stands) isn't a great input format.
AFAICT we have two options:

a) Improve the import format: either fix the C source to make it easier
to parse, or better introduce a new format which can generate both Rust
and C. Something along the lines of the arm64 sysreg format.

b) Don't generate either the C or Rust headers. Hand-write the Rust so
that it's idiomatic (and correct!). The review of the Rust headers will
need to be more careful, but is probably quicker than reviewing/agreeing
on a script. The major downside is if the Rust side is going to be
refactored (possibly multiple times) as the changes could be a pain to
review.

I really don't mind which, but I do mind if we don't pick an option ;)

That's indeed what we landed on initially, but my lack of rust
experience put me in a position where I can't really challenge these
decisions, which is the very reason we have Daniel working on it :-). I
must admit his argument of implementing new features in rust and
progressively converting the other bits is appealing, because this
reduces the scope of testing for each component conversion...

... at the risk of breaking the existing driver, that's true. My hope
was that, by the time we start converting panthor components to rust,
the testing infrastructure (mesa CI, for the open source driver) would
be mature enough to catch regressions. But again, I wouldn't trust my
judgment on anything rust related, so if other experienced rust
developers think having a mixed rust/c driver is a bad idea (like Sima
seemed to imply in her reply to Daniel), then I'll just defer to their
judgment.

Okay, I was more in the mood of "when will this happen?" rather than
"will this ever be a viable option?" :-). At this point, there seems
to be enough traction from various parties to think DRM/rust will be a
thing and in not a such distant future actually. But yeah, I get your
point.

Well, the scope of devcoredump is pretty clear: there's a set of
GPU/FW register values we need to properly decode a coredump (ringbuf
address, GPU ID, FW version, ...). I think this should be a starting
point for the rust GPU/FW abstraction. If we start from the other end
(C definitions which we try to convert to rust the way they were used
in C), we're likely to make a wrong choice, and later realize we need
to redo everything.

This is the very reason I think we should focus on the feature we want
to implement in rust, come up with a PoC that has some reg values
manually defined, and then, if we see a need in sharing a common
register/field definition, develop a script/use a descriptive format
for those. Otherwise we're just spending time on a script that's going
to change a hundred times before we get to the rust abstraction we
agree on.

If that's something we're interested in, I'd rather see a script to
generate the C definitions, since that part is not a moving target
anymore (or at least more stable than it was a year ago). Just to be
clear, I'm not opposed to that, I just think the time spent developing
such a script when the number of regs is small/stable is not worth it,
but if someone else is willing to spend that time, I'm happy to
ack/merge the changes :-).

Yeah, I wasn't even considering auto-generating the panthor_regs.rs
file in the first place. More of a hand-write every reg/field accessor
you need for the coredump feature, and extend it as new features
are added/components are converted. Once the interface is stable, we
can consider having a script that takes care of the C/rust autogen, but
when you get to this point, I'm not even sure it's useful, because you
almost sure you got things right by testing the implementation.

Unless modifying the script becomes more painful than manually
refactoring the rs file directly :-).

If we go for autogen, I definitely prefer the second option.

Could be, but if we're exposing a minimal amount of regs/fields until
we agree on the most appropriate abstraction, the refactoring shouldn't
be that painful.

Yeah, I agree.

Thanks for valuable your feedback.

I can see the appeal, and I found it useful to review and look at some
real Rust code in the kernel.

However... for features quite peripheral to the driver (e.g.
devcoredump) this becomes much more complex/verbose than the equivalent
implementation in C - I could rewrite Daniel's code in C fairly
trivially and drop all the new Rust support, which would get us the new
feature and be "trivially correct" from a memory safety point of view
because Rust has already done the proof! ;) Although more seriously the
style of sub-allocating from a large allocation means it's easy to
review that the code (either C or Rust) won't escape the bounds of each
sub-allocation.

For features that are central to the driver (to pick an example: user
mode submission), it's not really possible to incrementally add them.
You'd have to do a major conversion of existing parts of the driver first.

It also seems like we're likely to be a "worst of both worlds" situation
if the driver is half converted. There's no proper memory safety
(because the Rust code is having to rely on the correctness of the C
code) and the code is harder to read/review because it's split over two
languages and can't make proper use of 'idiomatic style'.

The testing infrastructure will (hopefully) catch major regressions, my
main concern is that for corner case regressions even if we do get them
reported during the release cycle it could be difficult to find a fix
quickly. So we could end up reverting changes that rustify the code just
to restore the previous behaviour. It's certainly not impossible, but I
can't help feel it's making things harder than they need to be.

Sima also has an interesting point that the Rust abstractions in DRM are
going to be written assuming a fully Rust driver, so a half-way house
state might be particularly painful if it prevents us using the generic
DRM infrastructure. But I'm also out of my depth here and so there might
be ways of making this work.

Agreed, I'm absolutely fine with that. My only complaint was that the
Rust register definitions included things unrelated to devcoredump (and
some which were converted incorrectly).

Also agreed, but I'm afraid I'm not volunteering my time for the
implementation ;) But happy to review if others want to tackle this.

We did discuss this, but I've come to the conclusion that's the wrong
approach. Converting is going to need to track kernel closely as there
are lots of dependencies with the various rust abstractions needed. If
we just copy over the C driver, that's an invitation to diverge and
accumulate technical debt. The advice to upstreaming things is never
go work on a fork for a couple of years and come back with a huge pile
of code to upstream. I don't think this situation is any different. If
there's a path to do it in small pieces, we should take it.

What parts of the current driver are optional that we could leave out?
Perhaps devfreq and any power mgt. That's not much, so I think the
rust implementation (complete or partial) will always be feature
complete.

This sounds to me like the old argument for products running ancient
kernels. Don't change anything so it is 'stable' and doesn't regress.
I think it's a question of when, not if we're going to upstream the
partially converted driver. Pretty much the only reason I see to wait
(ignoring dependencies) is not technical, but the concerns with
markets/environments that can't/won't adopt Rust yet. That's probably
the biggest issue with this patch. If converting the main driver first
is a requirement (as discussed elsewhere in this thread), I think all
the dependencies are going to take some time to upstream, so it's not
something we have to decide anytime soon.

Speaking of converting the main driver, here's what I've got so far
doing that[1]. It's a top down conversion with the driver model and
DRM registration in Rust. All the ioctls are rust wrappers calling
into driver C code. It's compiling without the top commit.

Unless your Rust is as good as your C, that's never going to happen.

I'd be quite keen for the "fork" to live in the upstream kernel. My
preference is for the two drivers to sit side-by-side. I'm not sure
whether that's a common view though.

Agreed, there's not much you can drop and still have a useful driver.

I think here's an important issues: what do we do about users who for
whatever reason don't have a Rust toolchain for their kernel build? Do
we really expect that the "other dependencies" are going to take so long
to upstream that everyone who wants this driver will have a Rust toolchain?

If we're adding new features (devcoredump) it's reasonable to say you
don't get the feature unless you have Rust[1]. If we're converting
existing functionality that's a different matter (it's a clear regression).

Having a separate code base for the Rust Panthor sidesteps the problem,
but does of course allow the two drivers to diverge. I don't have a good
solution.

[1] Although I have to admit for a debugging feature like devcoredump
there might well be pressure to implement this in C as well purely so
that customer issues can be debugged...

Well I'd hope that there's some benefit to Rust as a language, and that
therefore it's easier to write cleaner code. Not least that in theory
there's no need to review for memory safety outside of unsafe code. I
expect I'll retire before my Rust experience exceeds my C experience
even if I never touch C again!

FYI: I picked devcoredump because it was self-contained enough that I
could make a proof-of-concept and get the discussion started. I think
that, at least from this point of view, it has been successful, even if we
decide against a partial Rust driver! :)

I was informed early on that delaying a debugging feature until the
abstractions were merged would be a problem. Don’t worry: I can rewrite
the kernel part in C, that would indeed be a very small patch.

Indeed, thanks for posting this! It's provoked a good discussion.

I'll leave that for you to decide. There's definitely nothing blocking a
patch like this in C, but equally I'm not aware of anyone desperate for
this support yet.

Thanks,

It is supposed to be against the usual rules/guidelines, but we asked
since it came up a few times, and it can be done if you (as
maintainers) are OK with it. We have some notes about it here:

I agree that a panthor.rs should to exist side by side with the C for 
some time. I guess it's going to be in the order of a year or so (or 
maybe more) and not a few weeks, so keeping the C and Rust in sync will 
be important.

My take is that such drivers probably belong in non-mainline dev trees 
until they settle a bit, are at least fully functional and we're down to 
arguing finer details. Especially since the other Rust infra they depend 
on not mainline yet either.

Given that, my opinion is this patch probably needs to be originally in 
C then with a rust idiomatic port in the in-progress rust rewrite, or 
there needs to be a lot more effort to building the right panthor layers 
such as better register abstractions for example as part of this which 
certainly will raise the workload to get this in.

You have a good point. A script sounds nice, but given the restricted 
domain size, it maybe better to be manually maintained. Given that I 
also think the right way to access registers is to do it as safely as 
possible.

So a gpu_write() or gpu_read() are "unsafe" in that you can write 
invalid values to a just about anything in C. If we're trying to harden 
drivers like panthor and make it "impossible" to do the wrong thing, 
then IMHO for example MCU_CONTROL should be abstracted so I can ONLY 
write MCU_CONTROL_* values that are for that register and nothing else 
in Rust. This should fail at compile time if I ever write something 
invalid to a register, and I can't write to anything but a known/exposed 
register.

Interestingly the C code could also abstract the same way and at least 
produce warnings too and become safer. It may be useful to mimic the 
design pattern there to keep panthor.rs and panthor.c in sync more easily?

So my opinion would be to try get the maximum value from Rust and have 
things like proper register abstractions that are definitely safe.

Yeah - in KMS we absolutely do allow for some variants of types where we don't
know the specific driver implementation. We usually classify these as "Opaque"
types, and we make it so that they can be used identically to their fully-
typed variants with the exception that they don't allow for any private driver
data to be accessed and force the user to do a fallible upcast for that.

FWIW: Rust is actually great at this sort of thing thanks to trait magic, but
trying to go all the way up to a straight C pointer isn't really needed for
that and I don't recommend it. Using raw pointers in any public facing
interface where it isn't needed is just going to remove a lot of the benefits
from using rust in the first place. It might work, but if we're losing half
the safety we wanted to get from using rust then what's the point?

FWIW: 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lyudess/linux/-/blob/rvkms-wip/rust/kernel/drm/kms/crtc.rs?ref_type=heads

Along with some of the other files in that folder have an example of how we're
handling stuff like this in KMS. Note that we still don't really have any
places where we actually allow a user to use direct pointers in an interface.
You -can- get raw pointers, but no bindings will take it which means you can't
do anything useful with them unless you resort to unsafe code (so, perfect
:). 

Note: It _technically_ does not do fallible upcasts properly at the moment due
to me not realizing that constants don't have a consistent memory address we
can use for determining the full type of an object - but Gerry Guo is
currently working on making some changes to the #[vtable] macro that should
allow us to fix that.

Yeah the OpaqueFoo design is what I describe below (I think at least),
with some Deref magic so that you don't have to duplicate functions too
much (or the AsRawFoo trait you have). Well, except my OpaqueFoo does
_not_ have any generics, because that's the thing that gives you the pain
for partial driver conversions - there's just no way to create a T:
KmsDriver which isn't flat-out a lie breaking safety assumptions.

On second thought, I'm not sure AsRawFoo will work, since some of the
trait stuff piled on top might again make assumptions about other parts of
the driver also being in rust. So a concrete raw type that that's opaque
feels better for the api subset that's useable by mixed drivers. One
reason is that for this OpaqueFoo from_raw is not unsafe, because it makes
no assumption about the specific type, whereas from_raw for any other
implementation of AsRawFoo is indeed unsafe. But might just be wrong here.

Your OpaqueCrtc only leaves out the DriverCRTC generic, which might also
be an issue, but isn't the only one.

So kinda what you have, except still not quite.

Ah - I think I wanted to mention this specific bit in my email and forgot but
yeah: it is kind of impossible for us to recreate a KmsDriver/Driver.

FWIW: any kind of transmute like that where there isn't a compiler-provided
guarantee that it's safe is usually considered unsafe in rust land (especially
when it's coming from a pointer we haven't verified as valid).

This being said though - and especially since AsRaw* are all sealed traits
anyways (e.g. they're not intended to be implemented by users, only by the
rust DRM crate) there's not really anything stopping us from splitting the
trait further and maybe having three different classifications of object: 

Fully typed: both Driver implementation and object implementation defined
Opaque: only Driver implementation is defined
Foreign: neither implementation is defined

Granted though - this is all starting to sound like a lot of work around rust
features we would otherwise strongly want in a DRM API, so I'm not sure how I
feel about this anymore. And I'd definitely like to see bindings in rust
prioritize rust first, because I have to assume most partially converted
drivers are going to eventually be fully converted anyway - and it would kinda
not be great to prioritize a temporary situation at the cost of ergonomics for
a set of bindings we're probably going to have for quite a while.

Yup, I think that's it.

Yeah the Foreign (or Mixed as I called them) we'd only add when needed,
and then only for functions where we know it's still safe to do so on the
rust side.

I also agree that the maintenance burden really needs to be on the mixed
drivers going through transition, otherwise this doesn't make much sense.
I guess Ideally we'd ditch the Foreign types asap again when I driver can
move to a stricter rust type ....
