[PATCH v5 2/6] RISC-V: Add a syscall for HW probing

Evan Green evan at rivosinc.com
Mon Mar 27 09:31:59 PDT 2023


We don't have enough space for these all in ELF_HWCAP{,2} and there's no
system call that quite does this, so let's just provide an arch-specific
one to probe for hardware capabilities.  This currently just provides
m{arch,imp,vendor}id, but with the key-value pairs we can pass more in
the future.

(no changes since v4)

Changes in v4:
 - Used real types in syscall prototypes (Arnd)
 - Fixed static line break in do_riscv_hwprobe() (Conor)
 - Added newlines between documentation lists (Conor)
 - Crispen up size types to size_t, and cpu indices to int (Joe)
 - Fix copy_from_user() return logic bug (found via kselftests!)
 - Add __user to SYSCALL_DEFINE() to fix warning

Changes in v3:
 - Refactored functions so that kernel mode can query too, in
   preparation for the vDSO data population.
 - Changed the vendor/arch/imp IDs to return a value of -1 on mismatch
   rather than failing the whole call.
 - Const cpumask pointer in hwprobe_mid()
 - Embellished documentation WRT cpu_set and the returned values.
 - Renamed hwprobe_mid() to hwprobe_arch_id() (Conor)
 - Fixed machine ID doc warnings, changed elements to c:macro:.
 - Completed dangling unistd.h comment (Conor)
 - Fixed line breaks and minor logic optimization (Conor).
 - Use riscv_cached_mxxxid() (Conor)

Changes in v2:
 - Changed the interface to look more like poll(). Rather than supplying
   key_offset and getting back an array of values with numerically
   contiguous keys, have the user pre-fill the key members of the array,
   and the kernel will fill in the corresponding values. For any key it
   doesn't recognize, it will set the key of that element to -1. This
   allows usermode to quickly ask for exactly the elements it cares
   about, and not get bogged down in a back and forth about newer keys
   that older kernels might not recognize. In other words, the kernel
   can communicate that it doesn't recognize some of the keys while
   still providing the data for the keys it does know.
 - Added a shortcut to the cpuset parameters that if a size of 0 and
   NULL is provided for the CPU set, the kernel will use a cpu mask of
   all online CPUs. This is convenient because I suspect most callers
   will only want to act on a feature if it's supported on all CPUs, and
   it's a headache to dynamically allocate an array of all 1s, not to
   mention a waste to have the kernel loop over all of the offline bits.

+RISC-V Hardware Probing Interface
+---------------------------------
+
+The RISC-V hardware probing interface is based around a single syscall, which
+is defined in <asm/hwprobe.h>::
+
+    struct riscv_hwprobe {
+        __s64 key;
+        __u64 value;
+    };
+
+    long sys_riscv_hwprobe(struct riscv_hwprobe *pairs, size_t pair_count,
+                           size_t cpu_count, cpu_set_t *cpus,
+                           unsigned int flags);
+
+The arguments are split into three groups: an array of key-value pairs, a CPU
+set, and some flags. The key-value pairs are supplied with a count. Userspace
+must prepopulate the key field for each element, and the kernel will fill in the
+value if the key is recognized. If a key is unknown to the kernel, its key field
+will be cleared to -1, and its value set to 0. The CPU set is defined by
+CPU_SET(3). For value-like keys (eg. vendor/arch/impl), the returned value will
+be only be valid if all CPUs in the given set have the same value. Otherwise -1
+will be returned. For boolean-like keys, the value returned will be a logical
+AND of the values for the specified CPUs. Usermode can supply NULL for cpus and
+0 for cpu_count as a shortcut for all online CPUs. There are currently no flags,
+this value must be zero for future compatibility.
+
+On success 0 is returned, on failure a negative error code is returned.
+
+The following keys are defined:
+
+* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MVENDORID`: Contains the value of ``mvendorid``,
+  as defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.
+
+* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MARCHID`: Contains the value of ``marchid``, as
+  defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.
+
+* :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MIMPLID`: Contains the value of ``mimplid``, as
+  defined by the RISC-V privileged architecture specification.
