+10:07 < geertu> Agenda:
+10:07 < geertu> 1. Upcoming Gen3 development for the Core group,
+10:07 < geertu> 2. Increasing the size of GIC-400 mapped registers
+10:07 < geertu> 3. Face-2-face meeting during LinuxCon Japan
+10:07 < geertu> 4. Status check for tasks from last meeting - what is remaining?
+10:08 < geertu> Topic 1. Upcoming Gen3 development for the Core group
+10:08 < geertu> I've posted patches for initial CPG/MSSR support and SYSC PM Domains for r8a7796
+10:08 < geertu> Runs fine on M3-W.
+10:09 < geertu> And on H3 ES1.1, FWIW
+10:09 < horms> Thanks. I plan to use them as the base for my basic M3-W support. Unfortunately the patches I have put together don't seem to give me a console yet.
+10:09 < horms> How did you test the cpg/mssr patch set?
+10:09 < geertu> horms: Did you try my topic/gen3-latest branch?
+10:09 < horms> No
+10:10 < geertu> I have a single patch there that adds the glue to make it work.
+10:10 < horms> supurb. thanks!
+10:10 < horms> one last question. does earlycon work out of the box or does it need to be enabled somehow?
+10:11 < geertu> I assume you can cook basic M3-W patches by extracting pieces from that.
+10:11 < geertu> You have to add "earlycon" on the kernel command line
+10:11 < horms> ok, thanks. got it
+10:11 < geertu> And unfortunately it's not that early as DEBUG_LL on arm32.
+10:12 < geertu> Unfortunately we don't have anything better on arm64.
+10:12 < horms> i suspected as much (x2~
+10:12 < horms> i'll compare your glue patch to what I have and see what i did wrong
+10:12 < geertu> From my first experience with M3-W, things are working smoothly. PSCI is even able to reboot ;-)
+10:13 < horms> I guess the hw design is a bit more mature than when we first got H3
+10:13 < geertu> That is without PFC, which may cause us (Uli?) some headaches due to the bus access issue.
+10:13 < horms> I was hoping to include PFC support. But probably its best to do that as a second step.
+10:14 < geertu> Yeah, I can't send out the HSCIF r8a7796 binding update without PFC and without local access.
+10:16 < geertu> I was also happy to see H3ES1.1 works fine with my normal H3 kernel.
+10:16 < horms> I got a message from dammsan. He had another appointment which is now finished. He should be here soon.
+10:17 -!- dammsan [~dammsan@s214090.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp] has joined #periperi
+10:17 < horms> voila!
+10:17 < geertu> Welcome dammsan
+10:17 < dammsan> thanks, sorry about the delay.
+10:18 < geertu> We've just discussed the noise in your house ;-)
+10:18 < dammsan> also, sorry for trouble with the remote access - the cat shut down my house
+10:18 < dammsan> but it is up and running now again
+10:18 < geertu> You use the cat for remote access (flipping switches and pressing buttons)? Cool!
+10:19 < morimoto> Ohh loo-chan !
+10:19 < dammsan> it manages things by itself somehow =)
+10:20 < dammsan> 20 vms got powered off =)
+10:20 < geertu> Oops. that includes the locally installed tftp servers?
+10:20 < dammsan> geertu: so your local tftp setup is probably gone
+10:20 < dammsan> yeah - sorry!!
+10:20 < dammsan> i restarted but lost state
+10:20 < geertu> NP, time to automate the install from my side
+10:21 < dammsan> thanks for covering
+10:22 < geertu> Any other upcoming Gen3 development for the Core group?
+10:23 < dammsan> i guess PFC paper work for ulrich needs to be finalised
+10:24 < dammsan> apart from that nothing from my side
+10:24 < neg> I would like to do something for the core group within the next month or so :-)
+10:24 < uli___> dammsan: from my side, there is no rush, i'll soon be gone, back on the 23rd
+10:25 < geertu> neg: DMA?
+10:25 < dammsan> uli___: ok, thanks for letting me know. we should finalise all your tasks rather soon then to wrap up 6/E tasks
+10:25 < horms> dammsan: uli___: what is the nature of the pfc work?
+10:26 < neg> geertu: I sent out refreshed IPMMU+DMAC patches yesterday so I have no task in the pipeline to work on
+10:26 < dammsan> uli___: can you talk to the group leaders and decide how to split your remaining time between the groups?
+10:26 < uli___> horms: r8a7795 bias support and minimal r8a7796 support
+10:26 < uli___> dammsan: i have two core and one multimedia task, so i'm left with one slot
+10:27 < uli___> which is supposed to be i/o, i guess
+10:27 < horms> uli___: thanks. i will skip doing pfc as part of my basic r8a7796 support
+10:29 < dammsan> uli___: can you send an email to me and the group leaders with a list of the additional tasks you have signed for and what is planned as well as what is left?
+10:29 < uli___> ok
+10:30 < dammsan> thanks
+10:30 < dammsan> geertu: do you feel satisfied with the amount of additional slots you got for the core group?
+10:30 < geertu> ;-)
+10:31 < dammsan> geertu: or would you like to try to steal some time if something is urgent? =)
+10:31 < horms> fwiw, i think i have one free slot
+10:31 < dammsan> in my mind core group assignment is more or less done (with the exception of uli)
+10:31 < dammsan> so the remainer of the slots go to i/o and multimedia
+10:32 < dammsan> but we can adjust depending on the need
+10:32 < dammsan> horms: i think you have more than one slot left
+10:33 < horms> ok, lets talk about that some time
+10:33 < dammsan> sure
+10:36 < khiemnguyen> up up
+10:37 < geertu> Topic 2. Increasing the size of GIC-400 mapped registers
+10:37 < geertu> I had a look at the actual register contents earlier this morning
+10:37 < geertu> and increasing region 1 and 3 to 128 KiB doesn't make much sense to me (64 KiB is OK).
+10:38 < geertu> Region 0 is 1 4 KiB page (16 times aliased in the full 64 KiB block)
+10:38 < pinchartl> geertu: didn't Marc explain that the register block is aliased multiple times over a 128kB region ?
+10:38 < horms> yes
+10:38 < geertu> pinchartl: That's true for region 2
+10:38 < dammsan> geertu: shouldn't xen do whatever magic is needed to make it fit?
+10:38 < dammsan> and we are just describing the hardware in DT?
+10:39 < horms> dammsan: that is my basic feeling too
+10:39 < horms> but it seems that Mark Zyngnier has taken the kernel implementation in a different direction
+10:39 < geertu> Region 1 is currently 2 identical 4 KiB pages
+10:39 < geertu> Dirk wants to expand it to 128 KiB.
+10:40 < geertu> However, the first 64 KiB is just 16 aliases of the first (and second) 4 KiB page
+10:40 < geertu> While the second 64 KiB is all zeroes
+10:40 < geertu> Region 2 is already 128 KiB, which makes sense, as it's 16 aliased pages + 16 different aliased pages
+10:41 < geertu> For region 3, the other one Dirk wants to increase, the situatin is identical to region 1
+10:42 < dammsan> geertu: i recall the gic behaving differently depending on if secure mode is used or not
+10:42 < dammsan> there is some bit that can be used to determine which mode is used
+10:42 < dammsan> (at least in some version of the gic)
+10:42 < horms> It seems to me that at some level ARM decided that this aliasing approach is the solution to allowing hypervisors with 64Kb pages to trap the areas in question
+10:42 < geertu> So region 1 and region 2 have 2 all-zero blocks due to non-secure mode?
+10:43 < dammsan> geertu: not sure, but it could be so
+10:43 < dammsan> feel free to try to convince me to install the old secure mode environment
+10:44 < geertu> Then 128 KiB for region 1 and 3 make sense.
+10:44 < geertu> And the question is more like why we had 8 KiB there before (copied from Gen2?)
+10:45 < geertu> I'll respond to the email thread
+10:45 < dammsan> i think it is possible to use the SCIF download mode and enter via JTAG to access secure mode
+10:45 < horms> Presumably it was copied either from Gen2 or from the BSP (which may be the same thing)
+10:45 < geertu> But if the patch was OK in the first place, why didn't Marc just provide his Acked-by?
+10:45 < horms> I think Mark came into the thread pretty lated
+10:45 < horms> and the patch itself had disappeared from view by then
+10:46 < horms> s/lated/late/
+10:46 < geertu> I checked, and it was still quoted
+10:46 < dammsan> so may i ask, the base addresses remain unchanged
+10:46 < dammsan> this is just about the size?
+10:46 < horms> yes
+10:46 < dammsan> ok thanks
+10:46 < geertu> dammsan: The driver will adjust the size
+10:46 < geertu> dammsan: The driver will adjust the base address
+10:47 < dammsan> that would make sense
+10:47 < horms> I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask Mark for an Ack. It does seem to be an area he is knoledgable about
+10:47 < geertu> The driver needs 2 contiguous 4 KiB blocks
+10:47 < geertu> So if 2 64 KiB blocks are given, it uses register base = block base + 60 KiB
+10:47 < dammsan> but it could be optimized with 64 KiB blocks
+10:48 < geertu> optimized?
+10:48 < dammsan> fewer entries in the TLB?
+10:48 < geertu> The idea is that the 2 4 KiB register blocks are in different pages
+10:48 < geertu> so they can have different protection
+10:48 < dammsan> ok ok gotcha, cpu interface and distributor
+10:48 < dammsan> never mind me
+10:49 < dammsan> makes sense
+10:49 < horms> geertu: can you talk to dirk/mark a bit about this? basically I feel it is ok to apply the patch. but I'd rather not live to regret it.
+10:50 < geertu> horms: yes, that's what I said I will do
+10:50 < horms> excellent, thanks!
+10:50 < geertu> Topic 3. Face-2-face meeting during LinuxCon Japan
+10:52 < morimoto> Now I'm collecting topics from Renesas member
+10:52 < morimoto> Oops, sorry it is for RenesasCon
+10:54 < morimoto> I think we can have Mini-PeriCon on 11th, and RenesasCon 12th
+10:54 < geertu> I think the topic is about all meetings during that week
+10:56 < morimoto> I wounder does Ulich come to Japan ?
+10:57 < horms> uli___: ↑
+10:57 < uli___> no, i won't :(
+10:58 < morimoto> OK
+10:59 < morimoto> I will post collected Renesas side topic to PeriPeriML
+10:59 < geertu> OK
+11:00 < morimoto> Your side would like to know R-Car business, and each member/group
+11:00 < morimoto> is this correct ?
+11:01 < geertu> I think so
+11:01 < neg> At least I would like that
+11:01 < khiemnguyen> Where will we have the meeting ?
+11:01 < morimoto> About RenesasCon, I'm planing on Renesas office
+11:02 < morimoto> but the conference room is not yet decided
+11:02 < pinchartl> on what day would that be ?
+11:02 < morimoto> RenesasCon = 12th
+11:02 < horms> morimoto: that would be the Musashi-works near Kokubunji?
+11:02 < morimoto> Yes
+11:03 < horms> Got it
+11:03 < morimoto> Because Renesas member will join
+11:03 < pinchartl> ok
+11:03 < morimoto> We can have different place for MiniPeriCon (?)
+11:04 < morimoto> Then, we (= Renesas) would like to know your side current tasks/issue/headache
+11:04 < horms> I mainly ask because althouth I know where it is other may not. Its a bit of a distance from e.g. where LinuxCon is being held. They probably need to plan for that.
+11:04 < morimoto> Please create something of presentation :)
+11:05 < khiemnguyen> each group leader will make presentation ?
+11:05 < morimoto> horms: Yes, it is my headache too
+11:05 < geertu> It's about one hour from LinuxCon?
+11:06 < horms> I am happy to help people find the venue :)
+11:06 < horms> geertu: perhaps a little more.
+11:07 < horms> google says about an hour, you were right
+11:08 * geertu used Google
+11:08 < horms> :)
+11:08 < neg> have anyone booked hotell? My knowledge about Toky is nil and I don't want to live on the wrong side of the tracks :-)
+11:09 < horms> google can help you :)
+11:09 < morimoto> Or I can :)
+11:09 < morimoto> dammsan: do you have any plan for MiniPeriCon room ?
+11:10 < pinchartl> neg: I've booked at the conference hotel
+11:10 < horms> morimoto: (off topic) do you know if the BSP meeting on friday is still on?
+11:10 < neg> horms: I tried google for Brussels and ended up in a hotel where they probobly are used to charge you by the hour
+11:11 < morimoto> horms: for this week 13th? then yes, still ON
+11:11 < horms> haha. i can help too
+11:11 < horms> morimoto: 了解です
+11:11 < dammsan> morimoto: no plan, the library actually just called me and said I owed the the double about of money due to a no-show meeting room =)
+11:12 < geertu> pinchartl: it seems to be fully booked by now
+11:13 < geertu> neg: Good for you! Usually people don't stay an integer number of 24h-days
+11:14 < neg> geertu: :-)
+11:15 < horms> fwiw, i usually stay either at the monteray n
+11:15 < horms> hanzomon or somewhere in kudanshita for linuxcon
+11:15 < horms> partly because that is in between linuxcon and the old renesas office
+11:15 < horms> and i'm not affraid of the subway system :)
+11:16 < dammsan> i recommend the "la festa kichijouji" hotel for everyone =)
+11:17 < morimoto> closed to your home
+11:18 < dammsan> you can probably both rest and stay if you want
+11:18 < geertu> Doesn't look like it's close to LinuxCon?
+11:18 < horms> its close to renesas :)
+11:18 < dammsan> its not, i'm not serious
+11:19 < horms> Somewhere on the Tozai line might be a good choice. As that can be used to get both to LinuxCon and part way to Renesas
+11:19 < geertu> Be careful with such jokes, or we'll all end up in little tubes near Fukushima ;-)
+11:19 < dammsan> =)
+11:19 < horms> Or Idabashi which is within walking distance of LinuxCon and should connect to the Sobu/Chuo line to head out to Renesas
+11:20 < geertu> Idabashi is not a hotel?
+11:20 < horms> its an area
+11:21 < horms> presumably there are hotels there
+11:21 < geertu> horms: OK, I'll ask neg to find a good one over there ;-)
+11:21 < horms> i'm unsure if my family will join me or not
+11:21 < horms> so i will be holding off on a booking for now
+11:22 < neg> geertu: I will find a nice one, how many hours do you need :-)
+11:23 < horms> Probably geertu only needs a rest every second day
+11:24 < geertu> Topic 4. Status check for tasks from last meeting - what is remaining?
+11:25 < geertu> r8a7796 CPG/MSSR and SYSC is public
+11:25 < neg> I have pinged Arnd in the thread for the multiple DT DMACs but no reply so far, plan to wait a few more days and ping again
+11:26 < geertu> r8a7795 drive-strength support is merged
+11:26 < khiemnguyen> I sent out CPUfreq patches. Need feedback. :)
+11:26 < geertu> PFC 1.8v switching (for r8a7790) is merged
+11:26 < geertu> R-Car SYSC PM Domain support is merged
+11:27 < geertu> khiemnguyen: I've sent some feedback
+11:27 < horms> geertu: it looks like the above item made it into arm-soc smoothly :)
+11:28 < horms> neg: how is the effort to use more than one dma controller going. I'm referring to the patches Olof took exception to
+11:29 < neg> horms: as we talked about during last meeting I would try to get Arnds feedback on the same patches but I have failed to get his attention
+11:30 < horms> ok
+11:30 < pinchartl> I have to go I'm afraid
+11:30 < horms> bye
+11:30 < morimoto> pinchartl: quick request
+11:31 < morimoto> pinchartl: Kurokawa-san is waiting your resonse
+11:31 < morimoto> s/resonse/response/
+11:31 < dammsan> morimoto: lets discuss this f2f tomororw
+11:31 < morimoto> OK
+11:32 < pinchartl> morimoto: I'll reply this afternoon
+11:32 < pinchartl> I was away last week
+11:32 < morimoto> Thanks
+11:32 < pinchartl> and catching up with my e-mails
+11:33 < pinchartl> have a nice afternoon/evening
+11:34 -!- khiemnguyen [d2a0fca8@gateway/web/cgi-irc/kiwiirc.com/ip.210.160.252.168] has quit [Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client]

+11:35 < geertu> I think all topics have been covered.
+11:35 < geertu> Or did I miss anything?
+11:35 < geertu> pinchartl: Bye!
+11:35 < dammsan> geertu: thanks for your help
+11:36 < horms> nothing from my side
+11:36 < geertu> pinchartl: What happened to git.linuxtv.org? (for todays renesas-drivers)?
+11:37 < geertu> OK, thanks for joining, and have a nice day/evening/morning!
