commit eb0764b822b9 ("cxl/port: Enable the HDM decoder capability for switch ports")
...was added on the observation of CXL memory not being accessible after
setting up a region on a "cold-plugged" device. A "cold-plugged" CXL
device is one that was not present at boot, so platform-firmware/BIOS
has no chance to set it up.
While it is true that the debug found the enable bit clear in the
host-bridge's instance of the global control register (CXL 3.0
8.2.4.19.2 CXL HDM Decoder Global Control Register), that bit is
described as:
"This bit is only applicable to CXL.mem devices and shall
return 0 on CXL Host Bridges and Upstream Switch Ports."
So it is meant to be zero, and further testing confirmed that this "fix"
had no effect on the failure. Revert it, and be more vigilant about
proposed fixes in the future. Since the original copied stable@, flag
this revert for stable@ as well.

The RCRB is extracted already during ACPI CEDT table parsing while the
data of this is needed not earlier than dport creation. This
implementation comes with drawbacks: During ACPI table scan there is
already MMIO access including mapping and unmapping, but only ACPI
data should be collected here. The collected data must be transferred
through a couple of interfaces until it is finally consumed when
creating the dport. This causes complex data structures and function
interfaces. Additionally, RCRB parsing will be extended to also
extract AER data, it would be much easier do this at a later point
during port and dport creation when the data structures are available
to hold that data.
To simplify all that, probe the RCRB at a later point during RCH
downstream port creation. Change ACPI table parser to only extract the
base address of either the component registers or the RCRB. Parse and
extract the RCRB in devm_cxl_add_rch_dport().
This is in preparation to centralize all RCRB scanning.

Derick noticed, when testing hot plug, that hot-add behaves nominally
after a removal. However, if the hot-add is done without a prior
removal, CXL.mem accesses fail. It turns out that the original
implementation of the port driver and region programming wrongly assumed
that platform-firmware always enables the host-bridge HDM decoder
capability. Add support turning on switch-level HDM decoders in the case
where platform-firmware has not.
The implementation is careful to only arrange for the enable to be
undone if the current instance of the driver was the one that did the
enable. This is to interoperate with platform-firmware that may expect
CXL.mem to remain active after the driver is shutdown. This comes at the
cost of potentially not shutting down the enable on kexec flows, but it
is mitigated by the fact that the related HDM decoders still need to be
enabled on an individual basis.

The cxl_test machinery builds modified versions of the modules in
drivers/cxl/ and intercepts some of their calls to allow cxl_test to
inject mock CXL topologies for test.
However, if cxl_test attempts the same with production modules,
fireworks ensue as Luis discovered [1]. Prevent that scenario by
arranging for cxl_test to check for a "watermark" symbol in each of the
modules it expects to be modified before the test can run. This turns
undefined runtime behavior or crashes into a safer failure to load the
cxl_test module.

CXL is using tracepoints for reporting RAS capability register payloads
for AER events, and has plans to use tracepoints for the output payload
of Get Poison List and Get Event Records commands. For organization
purposes it would be nice to keep those all under a single + local CXL
trace system. This also organization also potentially helps in the
future when CXL drivers expand beyond generic memory expanders, however
that would also entail a move away from the expander-specific
cxl_dev_state context, save that for later.
Note that the powerpc-specific drivers/misc/cxl/ also defines a 'cxl'
trace system, however, it is unlikely that a single platform will ever
load both drivers simultaneously.

A downstream port must be connected to a component register block.
For restricted hosts the base address is determined from the RCRB. The
RCRB is provided by the host's CEDT CHBS entry. Rework CEDT parser to
get the RCRB and add code to extract the component register block from
it.
RCRB's BAR[0..1] point to the component block containing CXL subsystem
component registers. MEMBAR extraction follows the PCI base spec here,
esp. 64 bit extraction and memory range alignment (6.0, 7.5.1.2.1). The
RCRB base address is cached in the cxl_dport per-host bridge so that the
upstream port component registers can be retrieved later by an RCD
(RCIEP) associated with the host bridge.
Note: Right now the component register block is used for HDM decoder
capability only which is optional for RCDs. If unsupported by the RCD,
the HDM init will fail. It is future work to bypass it in this case.

CXL 2.0 allows for dynamic provisioning of new memory regions (system
physical address resources like "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory").
Whereas DDR and PMEM resources are conveyed statically at boot, CXL
allows for assembling and instantiating new regions from the available
capacity of CXL memory expanders in the system.
Sysfs with an "echo $region_name > $create_region_attribute" interface
is chosen as the mechanism to initiate the provisioning process. This
was chosen over ioctl() and netlink() to keep the configuration
interface entirely in a pseudo-fs interface, and it was chosen over
configfs since, aside from this one creation event, the interface is
read-mostly. I.e. configfs supports cases where an object is designed to
be provisioned each boot, like an iSCSI storage target, and CXL region
creation is mostly for PMEM regions which are created usually once
per-lifetime of a server instance. This is an improvement over nvdimm
that pre-created "seed" devices that tended to confuse users looking to
determine which devices are active and which are idle.
Recall that the major change that CXL brings over previous persistent
memory architectures is the ability to dynamically define new regions.
Compare that to drivers like 'nfit' where the region configuration is
statically defined by platform firmware.
Regions are created as a child of a root decoder that encompasses an
address space with constraints. When created through sysfs, the root
decoder is explicit. When created from an LSA's region structure a root
decoder will possibly need to be inferred by the driver.
Upon region creation through sysfs, a vacant region is created with a
unique name. Regions have a number of attributes that must be configured
before the region can be bound to the driver where HDM decoder program
is completed.
An example of creating a new region:
- Allocate a new region name:
region=$(cat /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/create_pmem_region)
- Create a new region by name:
while
region=$(cat /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/create_pmem_region)
! echo $region > /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/create_pmem_region
do true; done
- Region now exists in sysfs:
stat -t /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/$region
- Delete the region, and name:
echo $region > /sys/bus/cxl/devices/decoder0.0/delete_region

At this point the subsystem can enumerate all CXL ports (CXL.mem decode
resources in upstream switch ports and host bridges) in a system. The
last mile is connecting those ports to endpoints.
The cxl_mem driver connects an endpoint device to the platform CXL.mem
protoctol decode-topology. At ->probe() time it walks its
device-topology-ancestry and adds a CXL Port object at every Upstream
Port hop until it gets to CXL root. The CXL root object is only present
after a platform firmware driver registers platform CXL resources. For
ACPI based platform this is managed by the ACPI0017 device and the
cxl_acpi driver.
The ports are registered such that disabling a given port automatically
unregisters all descendant ports, and the chain can only be registered
after the root is established.
Given ACPI device scanning may run asynchronously compared to PCI device
scanning the root driver is tasked with rescanning the bus after the
root successfully probes.
Conversely if any ports in a chain between the root and an endpoint
becomes disconnected it subsequently triggers the endpoint to
unregister. Given lock depenedencies the endpoint unregistration happens
in a workqueue asynchronously. If userspace cares about synchronizing
delayed work after port events the /sys/bus/cxl/flush attribute is
available for that purpose.

The need for a CXL port driver and a dedicated cxl_bus_type is driven by
a need to simultaneously support 2 independent physical memory decode
domains (cache coherent CXL.mem and uncached PCI.mmio) that also
intersect at a single PCIe device node. A CXL Port is a device that
advertises a CXL Component Register block with an "HDM Decoder
Capability Structure".
>From Documentation/driver-api/cxl/memory-devices.rst:
Similar to how a RAID driver takes disk objects and assembles them into
a new logical device, the CXL subsystem is tasked to take PCIe and ACPI
objects and assemble them into a CXL.mem decode topology. The need for
runtime configuration of the CXL.mem topology is also similar to RAID in
that different environments with the same hardware configuration may
decide to assemble the topology in contrasting ways. One may choose
performance (RAID0) striping memory across multiple Host Bridges and
endpoints while another may opt for fault tolerance and disable any
striping in the CXL.mem topology.
The port driver identifies whether an endpoint Memory Expander is
connected to a CXL topology. If an active (bound to the 'cxl_port'
driver) CXL Port is not found at every PCIe Switch Upstream port and an
active "root" CXL Port then the device is just a plain PCIe endpoint
only capable of participating in PCI.mmio and DMA cycles, not CXL.mem
coherent interleave sets.
The 'cxl_port' driver lets the CXL subsystem leverage driver-core
infrastructure for setup and teardown of register resources and
communicating device activation status to userspace. The cxl_bus_type
can rendezvous the async arrival of platform level CXL resources (via
the 'cxl_acpi' driver) with the asynchronous enumeration of Memory
Expander endpoints, while also implementing a hierarchical locking model
independent of the associated 'struct pci_dev' locking model. The
locking for dport and decoder enumeration is now handled in the core
rather than callers.
For now the port driver only enumerates and registers CXL resources
(downstream port metadata and decoder resources) later it will be used
to take action on its decoders in response to CXL.mem region
provisioning requests.
Note1: cxlpci.h has long depended on pci.h, but port.c was the first to
not include pci.h. Carry that dependency in cxlpci.h.
Note2: cxl port enumeration and probing complicates CXL subsystem init
to the point that it helps to have centralized debug logging of probe
events in cxl_bus_probe().

Unlike the decoder enumeration for "root decoders" described by platform
firmware, standard decoders can be enumerated from the component
registers space once the base address has been identified (via PCI,
ACPI, or another mechanism).
Add common infrastructure for HDM (Host-managed-Device-Memory) Decoder
enumeration and share it between host-bridge, upstream switch port, and
cxl_test defined decoders.
The locking model for switch level decoders is to hold the port lock
over the enumeration. This facilitates moving the dport and decoder
enumeration to a 'port' driver. For now, the only enumerator of decoder
resources is the cxl_acpi root driver.

The core houses infrastructure for decoder resources. A CXL port's
dports are more closely related to decoder infrastructure than topology
enumeration. Implement generic PCI based dport enumeration in the core,
i.e. arrange for existing root port enumeration from cxl_acpi to share
code with switch port enumeration which just amounts to a small
difference in a pci_walk_bus() invocation once the appropriate 'struct
pci_bus' has been retrieved.
Set the convention that decoder objects are registered after all dports
are enumerated. This enables userspace to know when the CXL core is
finished establishing 'dportX' links underneath the 'portX' object.

In preparation for switch port enumeration while also preserving the
potential for multi-domain / multi-root CXL topologies. Introduce a

is registered. Note that the only known multi-domain CXL configurations
are running the cxl_test unit test on a system that also publishes an

With this in hand the nvdimm-bridge lookup can be with
device_find_child() instead of bus_find_device() + custom mocked lookup
infrastructure in cxl_test.
The mechanism looks for a 2nd level port since the root level topology
is platform-firmware specific and the 2nd level down follows standard
PCIe topology expectations. The cxl_acpi 2nd level is associated with a
PCIe Root Port.

can be updated alongside the kernel as it gains more functionality.
Whereas the cxl_pci module looks for CXL memory expanders on the 'pci'
bus, the cxl_mock_mem module attaches to CXL expanders on the platform
bus emitted by cxl_test.

Create an environment for CXL plumbing unit tests. Especially when it
comes to an algorithm for HDM Decoder (Host-managed Device Memory
Decoder) programming, the availability of an in-kernel-tree emulation
environment for CXL configuration complexity and corner cases speeds
development and deters regressions.
The approach taken mirrors what was done for tools/testing/nvdimm/. I.e.
an external module, cxl_test.ko built out of the tools/testing/cxl/
directory, provides mock implementations of kernel APIs and kernel
objects to simulate a real world device hierarchy.
One feedback for the tools/testing/nvdimm/ proposal was "why not do this
in QEMU?". In fact, the CXL development community has developed a QEMU
model for CXL [1]. However, there are a few blocking issues that keep
QEMU from being a tight fit for topology + provisioning unit tests:
1/ The QEMU community has yet to show interest in merging any of this
support that has had patches on the list since November 2020. So,
testing CXL to date involves building custom QEMU with out-of-tree
patches.
2/ CXL mechanisms like cross-host-bridge interleave do not have a clear
path to be emulated by QEMU without major infrastructure work. This
is easier to achieve with the alloc_mock_res() approach taken in this
patch to shortcut-define emulated system physical address ranges with
interleave behavior.
The QEMU enabling has been critical to get the driver off the ground,
and may still move forward, but it does not address the ongoing needs of
a regression testing environment and test driven development.
This patch adds an ACPI CXL Platform definition with emulated CXL
multi-ported host-bridges. A follow on patch adds emulated memory
expander devices.
