Check the 'Register Bit Width' field of the ACPI Generic Address
Structure that specifies the address of the UART registers to
decide if the driver should use "mmio32" access instead of "mmio".

If the driver is other than 16550 the access with is defined
by the Interface Type field of the SPCR table.

No, I had missed the fall through for both conditions since it hadn't
worked in my quick boot test with the other type earlier. It's probably
only applicable in the general 16550 case, not in the subset case,
but I don't have any objections at this. My bad.

Now as to why it's not actually triggering on my test machine is
something I'll check. I set the port width in the address struct
in the ACPI table to 32-bit and it didn't see mmio32 just mmio, so
I then re-read the patch itself and had assumed Aleksey meant it
to be only for the subtype. Be right back after I poke...

m400 with updated tables (that are correctly overriding not appending)
provided via INITRD override. I am looking at why it's not working.

Hi Duc, all,

So after regenerating the initrd override (I must have fat fingered)
it is now detecting the correct bit width on boot (attached dmesg log).

HOWEVER while the console does come up, the use of "earlycon" on the
command line (with no parameters) doesn't result in the early SPCR
console coming up correctly. I see some garbled characters that
suggest the baud (or register access width) is off somewhere.

Here are the first few lines from my screen boot log:

EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table
EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map...
^E^B^B^B<8A>r<A2><92><A2><92>สบ<EA><81>console [ttyS0] enabled
[    1.424297] console [ttyS0] enabled
[    1.507860] bootconsole [uart0] disabled

Can you double check you've actually seen the SPCR used for earlycon,
as the machine was booting, and actually generating correct output?

Here's the SPCR override I am using on that machine:

Yeah, that's it. Here's the logic (8250_early.c):

       if (!device->baud) {
                struct uart_port *port = &device->port;
                unsigned int ier;

                /* assume the device was initialized, only mask interrupts */
                ier = serial8250_early_in(port, UART_IER);
                serial8250_early_out(port, UART_IER, ier & UART_IER_UUE);
        } else
                init_port(device);

If we have a baud set we will call init_port and go messing with the
8250 UART clock and so on. While if we don't have one set we'll assume
whatever the firmware gave to us. We know the base clock frequency is
different, which made me wonder how the full 8250_dw drive was working
on your hardware...until I noticed the following ;)

Here's a snippet of the DSDT on m400:

        Device (UAR0)
        {
            Name (_HID, "APMC0D08")  // _HID: Hardware ID
            Name (_DDN, "UAR0")  // _DDN: DOS Device Name
            Name (_UID, "UAR0")  // _UID: Unique ID
            Name (_STR, Unicode ("APM88xxxx UART0 Controller"))  // _STR: Descri
ption String
            Name (_ADR, 0x1C021000)  // _ADR: Address
            Name (_CID, "NS16550A")  // _CID: Compatible ID
        ...
                    Method (_DSD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _DSD: Device-Specific Data
            {
                Local0 = Package (0x02)
                    {
                        ToUUID ("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301") /* Device Properties for _DSD */, 
                        Package (0x01)
                        {
                            Package (0x02)
                            {
                                "clock-frequency", 
                                Zero
                            }
                        }
                    }
                DerefOf (DerefOf (Local0 [One]) [Zero]) [One]
                     = UCLK /* External reference */
                Return (Local0)
            }

...and here's what's sneakily in the first SSDT table:

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "HPE   ", "UARTCLKS", 0x00000001)
{
    Name (\UCLK, Package (0x01)
    {
        0x02FAF080
    })
}

I suspect Mustang is doing similar. So you read the magic frequency
info and pass this in through a DSD in the AML. It's ok, I've made my
peace with this (but obviously we're trying to kill all DSD hacks),
but it explains how this "works" after boot, but not for early console.

To fix this, we're going to need to be able to know that your 8250 is
both needful of 32-bit accesses *AND* needs a different base UART clock.
Fortunately our good friends at Microsoft are amenable to adding a
subtype that covers this and are going to followup tomorrow for me.

We'll need to accept that on X-Gene platforms earlycon doesn't quite
work properly for the moment until we can add the correct quirk. So
Aleksey's patch kinda improves things in that it brings up the
console (which didn't work before) and therefore is hugely
beneficial, but it won't be able to enable the earlycon.

Aleksey: you might want to annotate your patch thusly:

"Discussion is still underway to add a new DBG2 (the table used to
enumerate the various subtypes of serial port covered by the SPCR)
16550 UART subtype that may be needed for some additional platforms,
such as those based upon AppliedMicro X-Gene ARMv8 SoCs"

Your patch as-is /is/ useful because it enables the console, and
most users care far more about that than the earlycon.

Jon.

P.S. I would note my usual anal pedantry. The reason I'm being a
pedant here is that we need to test this stuff as a user would use
it - making sure we get console output at the right moment - rather
than just boot testing and checking logs. That's never the same.

For the earlycon setup, you'll probably benefit from figuring out
ahead of time how you'll want to handle this. The "easy" option
is to remove the baud in the case of X-Gene with new subtype
but that'll be potential fragile. You might also decide that
struct earlycon_device wants to grow a "quirks" flag that
you can set for this kind of thing (bound to be more).

Copying Rob as well in case he has suggestions for you. Rob, as
an FYI the AppliedMicro X-Gene 16550 "compatible" requires both
32-bit accesses (which Aleksey tried to address earlier in this
thread) but also has a special non-standard clock (to be fair,
it's not as if we architected a standard UART clock for arm64,
we just assumed it was like x86 but didn't mandate this early
when Applied were doing their design - another life lesson).
Microsoft will add a new DBG2 subtype that allows for both
of these situations. But you'll want to somehow convey this
information (quirks) in one of the earlycon structures.

Jon.

At least it's consistent :)

Yet they seem to explicitly want to do this...in my conversations with some
others we agree that, in many cases, you really want to say "leave the baud
whatever the firmware set it", which would work in this case, but might
break some others. Then again, nobody on x86 Linux is really using the
SPCR today due to it not having been something they used until now and
due to the location of the COM ports being fairly well known ;)

So who knows what folks will prefer, but we should at least get the spec
to cover both situations by explicitly calling out Applied as special.

I saw that also, and agree that it appears totally bogus. We'll want to get
the documentation fixed as part of this cleanup.

So I've been discussing some changes to the SPCR and the current proposal
is that we have two new subtypes - one for 16550s that are non-standard
register width/stride but use the typical base clock, and a specific
additional type for SBSA level 0 compatible 16550 UARTs (Applied). I
will followup when the specification document has been revised.

Jon.

P.S. I had a lot of fun over my birthday reading the original 8250 spec
and learning about how the DLAB stuff works (I think those brain cells had
died). Which - on a total tangent - finally helps with a long standing issue
we have had. We (a small cabal) have wanted to sneak in an instruction into
the ARM ISA or specs referring to DLAB (the initials of a certain person
who owns the ARM ARM) and now we will get to do this into the SBBR ;)

As an update. I've been speaking with friends at Microsoft on and off
about this for quite some time. They've been very helpful (as usual) and
we should get an SPCR update soon covering Applied's case. I have pinged
the APM team to make sure that they're ready to post a patch.

I would like this small fix squeezed in 4.12, but before 4.13.

Jon.
