A peripheral device driver should * use bus_space_barrier() if it needs to ensure a write has reached the * hardware for some reason other than clearing interrupt conditions. * * The need for this function arises from the ARM weak memory ordering model. * Writes to locations mapped with the Device attribute bypass any caches, but * are buffered. Multiple writes to the same device will be observed by that * device in the order issued by the cpu. Writes to different devices may * appear at those devices in a different order than issued by the cpu. That * is, if the cpu writes to device A then device B, the write to device B could * complete before the write to device A. * * Consider a typical device interrupt handler which services the interrupt and * writes to a device status-acknowledge register to clear the interrupt before * returning. That write is posted to the L2 controller which "immediately" * places it in a store buffer and automatically drains that buffer. This can * be less immediate than you'd think... There may be no free slots in the store * buffers, so an existing buffer has to be drained first to make room. The * target bus may be busy with other traffic (such as DMA for various devices), * delaying the drain of the store buffer for some indeterminate time. While * all this delay is happening, execution proceeds on the CPU, unwinding its way * out of the interrupt call stack to the point where the interrupt driver code * is ready to EOI and unmask the interrupt. The interrupt controller may be * accessed via a faster bus than the hardware whose handler just ran; the write * to unmask and EOI the interrupt may complete quickly while the device write * to ack and clear the interrupt source is still lingering in a store buffer * waiting for access to a slower bus. With the interrupt unmasked at the * interrupt controller but still active at the device, as soon as interrupts * are enabled on the core the device re-interrupts immediately: now you've got * a spurious interrupt on your hands. * * The right way to fix this problem is for every device driver to use the * proper bus_space_barrier() calls in its interrupt handler. For ARM a single * barrier call at the end of the handler would work. This would have to be * done to every driver in the system, not just arm-specific drivers. * * Another potential fix is to map all device memory as Strongly-Ordered rather * than Device memory, which takes the store buffers out of the picture. This * has a pretty big impact on overall system performance, because each strongly * ordered memory access causes all L2 store buffers to be drained. * * A compromise solution is to have the interrupt controller implementation call * this function to establish a barrier between writes to the interrupt-source * device and writes to the interrupt controller device. * * This takes the interrupt number as an argument, and currently doesn't use it. * The plan is that maybe some day there is a way to flag certain interrupts as * "memory barrier safe" and we can avoid this overhead with them. */ void arm_irq_memory_barrier(uintptr_t irq) { dsb(); cpu_l2cache_drain_writebuf(); }
