to write a bitmask of cores that should be powered off!
This means that the panfrost_gpu_power_off() function has always been
doing nothing.

Fix powering off the GPU by writing a bitmask of the cores to poweroff
to the relevant PWROFF_LO registers and then check that the transition
(from ON to OFF) has finished by polling the relevant PWRTRANS_LO
registers.

While at it, in order to avoid code duplication, move the core mask
logic from panfrost_gpu_power_on() to a new panfrost_get_core_mask()
function, used in both poweron and poweroff.

Hi,

This commit was added to next recently but it causes "external abort on
non-linefetch" during boot of my Odroid HC1 board.

At least bisect points to it.

If fixed, please add:

Hey Krzysztof,

This is interesting. It might be about the cores that are missing from the partial
core_mask raising interrupts, but an external abort on non-linefetch is strange to
see here.

I've seen such external aborts in the past, and the fault type has
often been misleading. It's unlikely to have anything to do with a

Yeah, often accessing device with power or clocks gated.


Except my commit does *not* gate SoC power, nor SoC clocks 🙂

What the "Really power off ..." commit does is to ask the GPU to internally power
off the shaders, tilers and L2, that's why I say that it is strange to see that
kind of abort.

The GPU_INT_CLEAR GPU_INT_STAT, GPU_FAULT_STATUS and GPU_FAULT_ADDRESS_{HI/LO}
registers should still be accessible even with shaders, tilers and cache OFF.

Anyway, yes, synchronizing IRQs before calling the poweroff sequence would also
work, but that'd add up quite a bit of latency on the runtime_suspend() call, so
in this case I'd be more for avoiding to execute any register r/w in the handler
by either checking if the GPU is supposed to be OFF, or clearing interrupts, which
may not work if those are generated after the execution of the poweroff function.
Or we could simply disable the irq after power_off, but that'd be hacky (as well).


Let's see if asking to poweroff *everything* works:

non-linefetch access, but it might be caused by a register access after
the clock or power domain driving the register bank has been disabled.
The following diff might help validate this theory. If that works, we
probably want to make sure we synchronize IRQs before disabling in the
suspend path.

This helped, at least for this issue (next-20231121). Much later in
user-space boot I have lockups:

But anyway the external abort does not appear.
