[05/10] firewall: introduce stm32_firewall framework

Introduce a firewall framework that offers to firewall consumers different
firewall services such as the ability to check their access rights against
their firewall controller(s).

The firewall framework offers a generic API that is defined in firewall
controllers drivers to best fit the specificity of each firewall.

There are various types of firewalls:
-Peripheral firewalls that filter accesses to peripherals
-Memory firewalls that filter accesses to memories or memory regions
-Resource firewalls that filter accesses to internal resources such as
reset and clock controllers

A firewall controller must be probed at arch_initcall level and register
to the framework so that consumers can use their services.

How do resource firewalls work? Access to registers for some clocks in a 
clock controller are disabled? Or something gates off clocks/resets to 
a block?

It might make more sense for "resource" accesses to be managed within 
those resource APIs (i.e. the clock and reset frameworks) and leave this 
framework to bus accesses.

initcall ordering hacks should not be needed. We have both deferred 
probe and fw_devlinks to avoid that problem.

Why something stm32 specific? We know there are multiple platforms 
wanting something in this area. Wasn't the last attempt common?

For a common binding, I'm not eager to accept anything new with only 1 
user.

Why do you need to parse the property twice?

But you aren't defining a "generic" api here, you are defining a
specific one for your specific hardware.

Or am I missing something?

Why must it happen at arch_initcall?  So it can never be a module?  That
feels wrong.

This needs better wording saying it is only for stm32 devices.

Are you _SURE_ this needs to be "or later"?  Sorry, I have to ask.

To take a practical example:

A clock controller can be firewall-aware and have its own firewall 
registers to configure. To access a clock/reset that is handled this 
way, a device would need to check this "resource firewall". I thought 
that for these kinds of hardware blocks, having a common API would help.

Okay, I'll drop this for V2 if you find that the above explaination do 
not justify this.

Greg also doubts this.

Drivers like reset/clock controllers drivers (core_initcall level) will 
have a dependency on the firewall controllers in order to initialize 
their resources. I was not sure how to manage these dependencies.

Now, looking at init/main.c, I've realized that core_initcall() level 
comes before arch_initcall() level...

If managed by fw_devlink, the feature-domains property should be 
supported as well I suppose? I'm not sure how to handle this properly. 
I'd welcome your suggestion.

Last attempt was common for the feature-domain bindings. The system-bus 
driver was ST-specific. I don't know if other platforms needs this kind
of framework. Are you suggesting that this framework should be generic? 
Or that this framework should have a st-specific property?

I've oriented this firewall framework to serve ST purpose. There may be 
a need for other platforms but I'm not sure that this framework serves 
them well. One can argue that it is quite minimalist and covers basic 
purposes of a hardware firewall but I would need more feedback from 
other vendors to submit it as a generic one.

The first parsing is to have the first argument, which is the controller 
phandle. The second parsing is here to get the firewall arguments based 
on the number of arguments defined by #feature-domain-cells. Maybe using 
of_property_read_u32_array() would be better. I did not want to close 
the door for supporting several feature domain controllers, hence 
multiple phandles. of_parse_phandle_with_args() seemed fine for this 
purpose but the phandle is parsed out.

As I can see you support some extra args, that can be provided in the
feature-domain property. But in the binding description I see maxItems:
2. I beliewe this should be highlighted in bindings description.

IIUC list_for_each_entry_safe protects you from removing node during
loop. But all list operations are done under
firewall_controller_list_lock mutex. I beliewe there is no need for
_safe call under the mutex because removing node during loop is
impossible. I think it worth investigation if it's safe to use
list_for_each_entry_safe without lock.

It's not clear to me why it's 5. Comment above sais this is
implementation defined. Maybe this parameter can be configurable?

Can we store all registered IDs that were found by populate_bus
functio, or is it expected when this function was called before
populate_bus call?

This framework is indeed ST-oriented, I should have specified :
"...offers a generic API for STM32 firewall controllers that is defined
in their drivers...". Will change in V2

Rob asked the same question.

I responded under his comment, I'm not quite sure how to handle it with
fw_devlink for dependencies with drivers that are probed at early init
levels.

Good point, maybe it would be better to define a high maxItem value in
the binding description that is aligned with STM32_FIREWALL_MAX_ARGS.

AFAICT, list_for_each_entry_safe() does not protect against concurrent
accesses, so I'll keep the mutex lock.

Deleting while iterating will cause trouble if not using the safe
version. I think it is fine as it is.

This function is intended to be used by devices that needs to check
specific ID. Maybe IDs of peripherals that do not have a driver in
Linux / driver isn't probed / ...

About storing all IDs found when populating the bus, do you have some
use in mind? :) Else I'd prefer to save some memory.

We already have the concept of 'protected clocks' which are ones 
controlled by secure mode which limits what Linux can do with them. I 
think you should extend this mechanism if needed and use the existing 
clock/reset APIs for managing resources.

DT parent/child child dependencies are already handled which might be 
enough for you. Otherwise, adding a new provider/consumer binding is a 
couple of lines to add the property names. See drivers/of/property.c.

Ah right, the posting for SCMI device permissions was the binding only. 
The binding should be generic and support more than 1 user. That somewhat 
implies a generic framework, but not necessarily.

We already know there are at least 2 users. Why would we make the 2nd 
user refactor your driver into a common framework?

No. It's not a u32 array. It's a phandle+args property, so you should 
only use phandle+args APIs.

There's an iterator for handling multiple phandle+args cases.

If you do that, I'll require a lawyer to sign off on it to verify that
you all know EXACTLY the work involved in dealing with dual-licensed
kernel code.  Sorry, licenses aren't jokes.

I was worried about the interactions with software running on BSD
license, hence my (poorly written) proposal. Looking back at it
there's no good reason to use a dual-license here.
GPL-2.0-only is fine.

Ok, in that case I whould rather drop _safe, because for your case it is
impossible to remove entry while iterating the list.
This will save a couple of CPU instructions.

Then I think it worth mentioning in Warnings comment. What bothered me
is that you've said that there is no way to check ID while I was seeing
possible implementation.

Correct. I'm interested only in bindings which should be processed by
the hypervisor and removed from the OS DT the Kernel running in VM wouldn't
know it exists.
