   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

<title>regmap: allow upshifting register addresses before performing operations</title>
<updated>2023-04-07T16:28:19+00:00</updated>

<id>4a670ac3e75e517c96cbd01ef870dbd598c3ce71</id>
<content type='text'>
Similar to the existing reg_downshift mechanism, that is used to
translate register addresses on busses that have a smaller address
stride, it's also possible to want to upshift register addresses.

Such a case was encountered when network PHYs and PCS that usually sit
on a MDIO bus (16-bits register with a stride of 1) are integrated
directly as memory-mapped devices. Here, the same register layout
defined in 802.3 is used, but the register now have a larger stride.

Introduce a mechanism to also allow upshifting register addresses.
Re-purpose reg_downshift into a more generic, signed reg_shift, whose
sign indicates the direction of the shift. To avoid confusion, also
introduce macros to explicitly indicate if we want to downshift or
upshift.

For bisectability, change any use of reg_downshift to use reg_shift.

MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

Merge series from William Breathitt Gray &lt;william.gray@linaro.org&gt;:

The regmap API supports IO port accessors so we can take advantage of
regmap abstractions rather than handling access to the device registers
directly in the driver.

A patch to pass irq_drv_data as a parameter for struct regmap_irq_chip
set_type_config() is included. This is needed by the
idio_24_set_type_config() and ws16c48_set_type_config() callbacks in
order to update the type configuration on their respective devices.

Liam recommends using mas_walk() instead of mas_find() for our use case so
let's do that, it avoids some minor overhead associated with being able to
restart the operation which we don't need since we do a simple search.

The current state of the art for sparse register maps is the
rbtree cache.  This works well for most applications but isn't
always ideal for sparser register maps since the rbtree can get
deep, requiring a lot of walking.  Fortunately the kernel has a
data structure intended to address this very problem, the maple
tree.  Provide an initial implementation of a register cache
based on the maple tree to start taking advantage of it.

The entries stored in the maple tree are arrays of register
values, with the maple tree keys holding the register addresses.
We store data in host native format rather than device native
format as we do for rbtree, this will be a benefit for devices
where we don't marshal data within regmap and simplifies the code
but will result in additional CPU overhead when syncing the cache
on devices where we do marshal data in regmap.

This should work well for a lot of devices, though there's some
additional areas that could be looked at such as caching the
last accessed entry like we do for rbtree and trying to minimise
the maple tree level locking. We should also use bulk writes
rather than single register writes when resyncing the cache where
possible, even if we don't store in device native format.

Very small register maps may continue to to better with rbtree
longer term.

In order to support sparse caches that don't store data in raw format
factor out the parts of the raw block sync implementation that deal with
writing a single register via _regmap_write().

On the theory that it's better to make a start let's add some KUnit tests
for regmap. Currently this is a bit of a mess but it passes and hopefully
will at some point help catch problems. We provide very basic cover for
most of the core functionality that operates at the register level,
repeating each test for each cache type in order to exercise the caches.
There is no coverage of anything to do with the bulk operations at the bus
level or formatting for byte stream buses yet.

Each test creates it's own regmap since the cache structures are built
incrementally, meaning we gain coverage from the different access
patterns, and some of the tests cover different init scenarios.
