Commit Message

Saravana Kannan Oct. 1, 2020, 10:59 p.m. UTC
When commit 93d2e4322aa7 ("of: platform: Batch fwnode parsing when
adding all top level devices") optimized the fwnode parsing when all top
level devices are added, it missed out optimizing this for platform
where the top level devices are added through the init_machine() path.

This commit does the optimization for all paths by simply moving the
fw_devlink_pause/resume() inside of_platform_default_populate().

Hi Saravana,

Thank you for the patch.

Based on v5.9-rc5, before the patch:

[    0.652887] cpuidle: using governor menu
[   12.349476] No ATAGs?

After the patch:

[    0.650460] cpuidle: using governor menu
[   12.262101] No ATAGs?

:-(

This is kinda expected :( because omap2 arch doesn't call of_platform_default_populate()

Call path:
board-generic.c
  DT_MACHINE_START()
    .init_machine	= omap_generic_init,

  omap_generic_init()
    pdata_quirks_init(omap_dt_match_table);
		of_platform_populate(NULL, omap_dt_match_table,
			     omap_auxdata_lookup, NULL);

Other affected platforms
arm: mach-ux500
some mips
some powerpc

there are also case when a lot of devices placed under bus node, in such case
  of_platform_populate() calls from bus drivers will also suffer from this issue.

I think one option could be to add some parameter to _populate() or introduce new api.

By the way, is there option to disable this feature at all?
Is there Kconfig option?
Is there any reasons why such complex and time consuming code added to the kernel and not implemented on DTC level?


Also, I've came with another diff, pls check.

of_platform_default_populate() vs. of_platform_populate() is just a
different match table. I don't think the behavior should otherwise be
different.

There's also of_platform_probe() which has slightly different matching
behavior. It should not behave differently either with respect to
devlinks.

This will mean no device will probe until device_initcall_sync().
Unfortunately, I don't think we can make such a sweeping assumption.

So I'm trying to do this only when the top level devices are added for
the first time. of_platform_default_populate() seems to be the most
common path. For other cases, I think we just need to call
fw_devlink_pause/resume() wherever the top level devices are added for
the first time. As I said in the other email, we can't add
fw_devlink_pause/resume() by default to of_platform_populate().

Do you have other ideas for achieving "call fw_devlink_pause/resume()
only when top level devices are added for the first time"?

I'm not an expert in this domain, but before investigating it, would you
be able to share a hack patch that implements this (in the most simple
way) to check if it actually fixes the delays I experience on my system
?

So I take it the patch I sent out didn't work for you? Can you tell me
what machine/DT you are using?

I've replied to the patch:

Based on v5.9-rc5, before the patch:

[    0.652887] cpuidle: using governor menu
[   12.349476] No ATAGs?

After the patch:

[    0.650460] cpuidle: using governor menu
[   12.262101] No ATAGs?

I'm using an AM57xx EVM, whose DT is not upstream, but it's essentially
a am57xx-beagle-x15-revb1.dts (it includes that DTS) with a few
additional nodes for GPIO keys, LCD panel, backlight and touchscreen.

Laurent/Grygorii,

Looks like I'm definitely missing emails. Sorry about the confusion.

I have some other urgent things on my plate right now. Is it okay if I
get to this in a day or two? In the end, we'll find a solution that
addresses most/all of the delay.

Thanks,
Saravana

If you detect it's the first time, you could?

Eliminate the cases not using of_platform_default_populate().

There's 2 main reasons for the non default cases. The first is
auxdata. Really, for any modern platform that people care about (and
care about the boot time), they should not be using auxdata. That's
just for the DT transition. You know, a temporary thing from 9 years
ago.

The 2nd is having some parent device. This is typically an soc_device.
I really think this is kind of dumb. We should either have the parent
device always or never. After all, everything's an SoC right? Of
course changing that will break some Android systems since they like
to use non-ABI sysfs device paths.

There could also be some initcall ordering issues. IIRC, in the last
round of cleanups in this area, at91 gpio/pinctrl had an issue with
that. I think I have a half done fix for that I started.

No issue on my side.

By the way, during initial investigations, I've traced code paths to
figure out if there was a particular step that would consume a large
amount of time, and found out that of_platform_populate() ends up
executing devlink-related code that seems to have an O(n^3) complexity
on the number of devices, with a few dozens of milliseconds for each
iteration. That's a very bad complexity.

Hi Laurent,

Sorry it took awhile for me to get back to this.

Can you try throwing around fw_devlink_pause/resume() around the
of_platform_populate() call in arch/arm/mach-omap2/pdata-quirks.c?
Just trying to verify the cause/fix.

If it fixes the issue, then considering Rob's comments [1], a good
short term solution might be to have the suggestion above and some way
to do pause/resume only when the top level devices are added.

As you said, the complexity of fw_devlink parsing can be O(N^2). There
are other ways to improve it to make it O(N) but it has a bunch of
additional complexity and memory increase. When I tried to do it that
way the first time, I was question whether O(N^2) actually translated
to measurable difference. Looks like we do now :) I have something in
mind for how to do it with O(N) complexity, but I expect it to take a
while to get in. So in the meantime, I'm thinking of using
fw_devlink_pause/resume() as a short term optimization.

AM5 EVM on v5.10-rc1:

[    1.139945] cpuidle: using governor menu
[   13.126461] No ATAGs?

After adding fw_devlink_pause/resume around of_platform_populate:

[    1.139587] cpuidle: using governor menu
[    1.899913] No ATAGs?
