2021-03-18remoteproc: Add new get_loaded_rsc_table() to rproc_opsMathieu Poirier1-0/+10
Add a new get_loaded_rsc_table() operation in order to support scenarios where the remoteproc core has booted a remote processor and detaches from it. When re-attaching to the remote processor, the core needs to know where the resource table has been placed in memory.

2020-08-05remoteproc: Add remoteproc character device interfaceSiddharth Gupta1-0/+28
Add the character device interface into remoteproc framework. This interface can be used in order to boot/shutdown remote subsystems and provides a basic ioctl based interface to implement supplementary functionality. An ioctl call is implemented to enable the shutdown on release feature which will allow remote processors to be shutdown when the controlling userspace application crashes or hangs.

Add a new helper function rproc_of_parse_firmware() to the remoteproc core that can be used by various remoteproc drivers to look up the the "firmware-name" property from a rproc device node.

2019-02-21remoteproc: fix recovery procedureLoic Pallardy1-1/+1
Commit 7e83cab824a87e83cab824a8 ("remoteproc: Modify recovery path to use rproc_{start,stop}()") replaces rproc_{shutdown,boot}() with rproc_{stop,start}(), which skips destroy the virtio device at stop but re-initializes it again at start. Issue is that struct virtio_dev is not correctly reinitialized like done at initial allocation thanks to kzalloc() and kobject is considered as already initialized by kernel. That is due to the fact struct virtio_dev is allocated and released at vdev resource handling level managed and virtio device is registered and unregistered at rproc subdevices level. Moreover kernel documentation mentions that device struct must be zero initialized before calling device_initialize(). This patch disentangles struct virtio_dev from struct rproc_vdev as the two struct don't have the same life-cycle. struct virtio_dev is now allocated on rproc_start() and released on rproc_stop().

Now that the resource table supports publishing a virtio device in a single resource entry, firmware images can start supporting more than a single vdev. This patch removes the single vdev limitation of the remoteproc framework so multi-vdev firmwares can be leveraged: VDEV resource entries are parsed when the rproc is registered, and as a result their vrings are set up and the virtio devices are registered (and they go away when the rproc goes away). Moreover, we no longer only support VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG vdevs; any virtio device type goes now. As a result, there's no more any rpmsg-specific APIs or code in remoteproc: it all becomes generic virtio handling.

2012-02-09remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processorsOhad Ben-Cohen1-0/+44
Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS. Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves: - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory) - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant) - Powering on the device This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power management and error recovery. Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com>.
