  • Thread-topic: [PATCH v7 0/5] xen/arm: scmi: introduce SCI SCMI SMC multi-agent support

Inroducing patch series which includes implementation of the SCI SCMI
SMC multi-agent support.
This patch series follows RFC v5 [3] series which was introducing both
SCMI single-agent and multi-agent support. After the discussion it was
decided to split features and upstream singe-agent support first. This
feature is merged for now to v4.21-rc2.
I'm starting this patch series from v6 to save the discussion history
and don't break changes log.

Patch - xen/domctl: extend XEN_DOMCTL_assign_device to handle not
only iommu
- add chainged handling of assigned DT devices to support
access-controller functionality through SCI framework.
Change was done in two parts:
 - call to sci_do_domctl() to do_domctl()
 - update iommu_do_dt_domctl() to check for dt_device_is_protected()
 and not fail if DT device is not protected by IOMMU

Patch - xen/arm: scmi: introduce SCI SCMI SMC multi-agent driver
- add Xen-specific SCMI container compatible `xen,sci`
  under `/chosen/xen`; Xen binds only to the `arm,scmi-smc` inside it and
  ignores other SCMI nodes (e.g. under `/firmware`).
- add `scmi-secondary-agents` and `#scmi-secondary-agents-cells` to describe
  func_id/shmem/(optional agent_id) tuples for secondary agents.
- each guest using SCMI supplies its agent_id (dom0 via `dom0=sci-agent-id=`,
  toolstack via `arm_sci = "type=scmi_smc_multiagent,agent_id=..."`, dom0less
  via `xen,sci_type` + `xen,sci-agent-id` in `xen,domain`).
- factor out SCMI generic definitions and shmem code.
- passthrough configuration for SCMI guests mirrors other HW passthrough.

Patch - docs: arm: add SCI SCMI SMC multi-agent driver docs
- document the Xen SCMI container under `/chosen/xen/xen_scmi_config` and the
  mediator’s binding rules; update examples accordingly.

All Xen-specific SCMI configuration now lives under `/chosen/g`
to keep host DT changes isolated while leaving the host `/firmware/scmi`
untouched for Dom0 consumption.

base-commit: dbe60f244c (Update Xen to 4.21, 2025-02-21)

Changes in v7:
- update domctl to build on both Arm and x86 platforms
- move ret1 declaration to the top of the function as required by code
style
- x86 guidance: removed the speculative note; header now just says
  each arch supplies its own implementation or macro.
- name spacing: dropped the double-underscore; the helpers are now
  memcpy_fromio / memcpy_toio. The header also explicitly allows an
  arch to define these as macros before including it.
- updated io.c to keep 32-bit transfers safe on arm32
- moved to __raw_read*/__raw_write* accessors to avoid endianness conversion.
- split the helpers into separate compilation units
- rework scmi nodes for xen to match on compatible string instead of
the direct path
- update documentation in section of the xen_scmi configuration which
is matched by "xen,sci" compatible instead of the direct path.

Changes in v6:
- change iommu_do_domctl and sci_do_domctl command order and
call sci_do_domctl first which will produce cleaner code path.
Also dropped changing return code when iommu was disabled in
iommu_do_domctl.
- sorted objs in Makefile alhabetically
- added newline at the end of Makefile
- used uint{N}_t intead of u{N}
- add comment about why 32 bit IO operations were used
- updated cast opertaions to avoid dropping constness which is wrong
- move function definitions to generic place so the could be reused by
other arch
- add SPDX tag to io.c
- updated scmi-shmem to use io.h from generic location
- update scmi_agent_id parameter to be provided inside dom0= parameter
list and have the following format "dom0=sci-agent-id=0"
This change was done as a response for Stefano comment and
requires a lot of code changes, but produces much cleaner solution
that's why I've added it to the code.
- fix file comments and return codes
- fix lenght checks in shmem_{get,put}_message to use offsetof
- remove len member from scmi_channel structure as it is not used
- set scmi-secondary-agents property to be mandatory since if no
secondary agents were provided then there is no sence to enable scmi
when no secondary agents are populated to the Domains
- update documentation in booting.txt, added xen_scmi node to the
example
- adjust d->arch.sci_enabled value in scmi_domain_destroy
- fix lock management in smc_create_channel call
- avoid extra map_channel_memory command for Xen management channel
because collect_agent_id call unmaps memory if DOMID_XEN is not
set. So for Xen management channel we can init domain_id ad DOMID_XEN
before calling collect_agent_id so memory shouldn't be unmapped.
- remove all HVC mentions from the multi-agent doc
- update sci-agent-id parameter description in the documentation
- add missing Sign-of
- minor fixes across the document

Changes in v5:
- return -EINVAL if mediator without assign_dt_device was provided
- invert return code check for iommu_do_domctl in
XEN_DOMCTL_assign_device domctl processing to make cleaner code
- change -ENOTSUPP error code to -ENXIO in sci_do_domctl
- handle -ENXIO return comde of iommu_do_domctl
- leave !dt_device_is_protected check in iommu_do_dt_domctl to make
code work the same way it's done in "handle_device" call while
creating hwdom(dom0) and "handle_passthrough_prop" call for dom0less
creation
- drop return check from sci_assign_dt_device call as not needed
- do not return EINVAL when addign_dt_device is not set. That is
because this callback is optional and not implemented in single-agent driver
- move memcpy_toio/fromio to the generic place
- fix device-tree example format in booting.txt, added ";" after "}".
- update define in scmi-proto.h
- update define in scmi-shmem.h file
- scmi_assign_device - do not ignore -EOPNOTSUPP return
code of the do_smc_xfer
- remove overwriting agent_channel->agent_id after
SCMI_BASE_DISCOVER_AGENT call
- add multi-agent files to the MAINTAINERS
- add SCMI multi-agent description to the SUPPORT.md
- handle ARM_SMCCC_INVALID_PARAMETER return code and return -EINVAL
for smc call
- updated collect_agents function. Set agent_id parameter as optional
in scmi-secondary-agents device-tree property
- introduce "#scmi-secondary-agents-cells" parameter to set if
agent_id was provided
- reanme xen,scmi-secondary-agents property to scmi-secondary-agents
- move memcpu_toio/fromio for the generic place
- update Xen to get management channel from /chosen/xen,config node
- get hypervisor channnel from node instead of using hardcoded
- update handling scmi and shmem nodes for the domain
- Set multi-agent driver to support only Arm64
- rework multi-agent driver to leave Host Device-tree unmodified

Changes in v4:
- toolstack comments from Anthony PERARD
- added dom0less support
- added doc for "xen,scmi-secondary-agents"
