Commit Message

Russell King (Oracle) Oct. 24, 2023, 3:19 p.m. UTC
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>

When a CPU is marked as disabled, but online capable in the MADT, PSCI
applies some firmware policy to control when it can be brought online.
PSCI returns DENIED to a CPU_ON request if this is not currently
permitted. The OS can learn the current policy from the _STA enabled bit.

Handle the PSCI DENIED return code gracefully instead of printing an
error.

See https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0022/f/?lang=en page 58.

Should this be EPERM? As the following psci cpu_on op will return it. I think you miss to change this when apply Jean-Philippe's patch.

It looks like James didn't properly update all places. Also,

This change is unnecessary - probably comes from when -EPROBE_DEFER was
being used. psci_to_linux_errno() already does:

       case PSCI_RET_DENIED:
               return -EPERM;

Thanks.

But may print lots of noise like:

[    0.008955] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
[    0.009661] psci: failed to boot CPU1 (-1)
[    0.010360] psci: failed to boot CPU2 (-1)
[    0.011164] psci: failed to boot CPU3 (-1)
[    0.011946] psci: failed to boot CPU4 (-1)
[    0.012764] psci: failed to boot CPU5 (-1)
[    0.013534] psci: failed to boot CPU6 (-1)
[    0.014349] psci: failed to boot CPU7 (-1)
[    0.014820] smp: Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU

Is this expected?

Please read my email again, and take note of the _context_ above the
places that I've commented. Context matters.

What I'm saying is that this change:

 	err = invoke_psci_fn(fn, cpuid, entry_point, 0);
+	if (err == PSCI_RET_DENIED)
+		return -EPERM;
 	return psci_to_linux_errno(err);

Is unnecessary when psci_to_linux_errno() already does:

static __always_inline int psci_to_linux_errno(int errno)
{
	switch (errno) {
	...
	case PSCI_RET_DENIED:
		return -EPERM;

So, a return of PSCI_RET_DENIED from invoke_psci_fn() above will
_already_ be translated to -EPERM (which is -1) by
psci_to_linux_errno(). There is no need to add that extra if()
statement in __psci_cpu_on().

I was _not_ saying that the entire patch was unnecessary.

Context matters. That's why we include context in replies.

Standard email etiquette (before Microsoft messed it up) is to quote the
email that is being replied to, trimming hard irrelevant content, and to
place the reply comments immediately below the original content to which
the comments relate, to give the reply comments the context necessary
for correct interpretation.

Thanks.
