<title>platform/chrome: cros_ec_lpc: prepare for hw_protection_shutdown removal</title>

<content type='text'>
In the general case, a driver doesn't know which of system shutdown or
reboot is the better action to take to protect hardware in an emergency
situation.  For this reason, hw_protection_shutdown is going to be removed
in favor of hw_protection_trigger, which defaults to shutdown, but may be
configured at kernel runtime to be a reboot instead.

The ChromeOS EC situation is different as we do know that shutdown is the
correct action as the EC is programmed to force reset after the short
period, thus replace hw_protection_shutdown with __hw_protection_trigger
with HWPROT_ACT_SHUTDOWN as argument to maintain the same behavior.

No functional change.

<title>platform/chrome: cros_ec_typec: Add support for setting USB mode via sysfs</title>
<updated>2025-02-21T01:42:22+00:00</updated>

<id>9fc83373f0ffb8834da48b1446a5c2fef9525bb1</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements USB mode setting via a sysfs interface in
cros_ec_typec driver. User-space applications can now change the current
USB mode by writing to "usb_mode" sysfs entry, replacing the previous
ioctl-based method.
The embedded controller (EC) currently supports only entering USB4 mode
and exiting all modes (including altmodes). Both of these operations
trigger Data Reset Message, even if no USB Mode is active.
Additionally, the patch exposes the USB modes supported by the port via
"usb_capability" sysfs attribute.

<title>platform/chrome: cros_ec_sysfs: Expose AP_MODE_ENTRY feature state</title>

This adds sysfs attribute /sys/class/chromeos/cros_ec/ap_mode_entry
to expose the status of the AP_MODE_ENTRY feature. This attribute
indicate whether the EC requires direction from the Application
Processor (AP) before entering Type-C alternate modes or USB4 mode.
This allows user-space applications to easily determine if the AP needs
to be involved in mode entry.

Load the cros_ec_lpc driver based on a Framework FRMWC004 ACPI device,
which mirrors GOOG0004, but also applies npcx quirks for Framework
systems.

Matching on ACPI will let us avoid having to change the SMBIOS match
rules again and again.

Pull chrome platform updates from Tzung-Bi Shih:
 "New:
   - Support new EC if the memory region information comes from the CRS
     ACPI resource descriptor in cros_ec_lpc

  Improvements:
   - Make sure EC is in RW before probing
   - Only check events on MKBP notifies to reduce the number of query
     commands in cros_ec_lpc

  Cleanups:
   - Remove unused code and DT bindings for cros-kbd-led-backlight
   - Constify 'struct bin_attribute' in cros_ec_vbc
   - Use str_enabled_disabled() in cros_usbpd_logger"

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"
