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

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?

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.


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.


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

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

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


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.

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.


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.

Why do you need to parse the property twice?


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.

Best regards,
Gatien
