2017-10-25	locking/atomics, firmware/ivc: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()	Mark Rutland	1	-12/+12
	workqueue: kill off ACCESS_ONCE() For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful. However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This distinction is critical to correct operation. It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory step, this patch converts the Tegra IVC code and comments to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently. ---- virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2016-11-18	firmware: tegra: Add IVC library	Thierry Reding	1	-0/+695
	The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS. Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of data. The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the library to exchange messages with remote processors.
