spi: bcm2835: Speed up FIFO access if fill level is known
The RX and TX FIFO of the BCM2835 SPI master each accommodate 64 bytes
(16 32-bit dwords). The CS register provides hints on their fill level:
"Bit 19 RXR - RX FIFO needs Reading ([¾] full)
0 = RX FIFO is less than [¾] full (or not active TA = 0).
1 = RX FIFO is [¾] or more full. Cleared by reading sufficient
data from the RX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"Bit 16 DONE - Transfer Done
0 = Transfer is in progress (or not active TA = 0).
1 = Transfer is complete. Cleared by writing more data to the
TX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"If DONE is set [...], write up to 16 [dwords] to SPI_FIFO. [...]
If RXR is set read 12 [dwords] data from SPI_FIFO."
[Source: Pages 153, 154 and 158 of
https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf
Note: The spec is missing the "¾" character, presumably due to
copy-pasting from a different charset. It also incorrectly
refers to 16 and 12 "bytes" instead of 32-bit dwords.]
In short, the RXR bit indicates that 48 bytes can be read and the DONE
bit indicates 64 bytes can be written. Leverage this knowledge to read
or write bytes blindly to the FIFO, without polling whether data can be
read or free space is available to write. Moreover, when a transfer is
starting, the TX FIFO is known to be empty, likewise allowing a blind
write of 64 bytes.
This cuts the number of bus accesses in half if the fill level is known.
Also, the (posted) write accesses can be pipelined on the AXI bus since
they are no longer interleaved with (non-posted) reads.
bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_poll() switches to interrupt mode when a time
limit is exceeded by calling bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_irq(). The TX
FIFO may contain data in this case, but is known to be empty when the
function is called from bcm2835_spi_transfer_one(). Hence only blindly
fill the TX FIFO in the latter case but not the former.

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

of this commit, hence his Signed-off-by.]

When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.
[Nathan Chancellor contributed a DMA mapping fixup for an early version
of this commit, hence his Signed-off-by.]

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up FIFO access if fill level is known
The RX and TX FIFO of the BCM2835 SPI master each accommodate 64 bytes
(16 32-bit dwords). The CS register provides hints on their fill level:
"Bit 19 RXR - RX FIFO needs Reading ([¾] full)
0 = RX FIFO is less than [¾] full (or not active TA = 0).
1 = RX FIFO is [¾] or more full. Cleared by reading sufficient
data from the RX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"Bit 16 DONE - Transfer Done
0 = Transfer is in progress (or not active TA = 0).
1 = Transfer is complete. Cleared by writing more data to the
TX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"If DONE is set [...], write up to 16 [dwords] to SPI_FIFO. [...]
If RXR is set read 12 [dwords] data from SPI_FIFO."
[Source: Pages 153, 154 and 158 of
https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf
Note: The spec is missing the "¾" character, presumably due to
copy-pasting from a different charset. It also incorrectly
refers to 16 and 12 "bytes" instead of 32-bit dwords.]
In short, the RXR bit indicates that 48 bytes can be read and the DONE
bit indicates 64 bytes can be written. Leverage this knowledge to read
or write bytes blindly to the FIFO, without polling whether data can be
read or free space is available to write. Moreover, when a transfer is
starting, the TX FIFO is known to be empty, likewise allowing a blind
write of 64 bytes.
This cuts the number of bus accesses in half if the fill level is known.
Also, the (posted) write accesses can be pipelined on the AXI bus since
they are no longer interleaved with (non-posted) reads.
bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_poll() switches to interrupt mode when a time
limit is exceeded by calling bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_irq(). The TX
FIFO may contain data in this case, but is known to be empty when the
function is called from bcm2835_spi_transfer_one(). Hence only blindly
fill the TX FIFO in the latter case but not the former.

spi: bcm2835: Work around DONE bit erratum
Commit 3bd7f6589f67 ("spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length
limitation") amended the BCM2835 SPI driver with support for DMA
transfers whose buffers are not aligned to 4 bytes and require more than
one sglist entry.
When testing this feature with upcoming commits to speed up TX-only and
RX-only transfers, I noticed that SPI transmission sometimes breaks.
A function introduced by the commit, bcm2835_spi_transfer_prologue(),
performs one or two PIO transmissions as a prologue to the actual DMA
transmission. It turns out that the breakage goes away if the DONE bit
in the CS register is set when ending such a PIO transmission.
The DONE bit signifies emptiness of the TX FIFO. According to the spec,
the bit is of type RO, so writing it should never have any effect.
Perhaps the spec is wrong and the bit is actually of type RW1C.
E.g. the I2C controller on the BCM2835 does have an RW1C DONE bit which
needs to be cleared by the driver. Another, possibly more likely
explanation is that it's a hardware erratum since the issue does not
occur consistently.
Either way, amend bcm2835_spi_transfer_prologue() to always write the
DONE bit.
Usually a transmission is ended by bcm2835_spi_reset_hw(). If the
transmission was successful, the TX FIFO is empty and thus the DONE bit
is set when bcm2835_spi_reset_hw() reads the CS register. The bit is
then written back to the register, so we happen to do the right thing.
However if DONE is not set, e.g. because transmission is aborted with
a non-empty TX FIFO, the bit won't be written by bcm2835_spi_reset_hw()
and it seems possible that transmission might subsequently break. To be
on the safe side, likewise amend bcm2835_spi_reset_hw() to always write
the bit.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up FIFO access if fill level is known
The RX and TX FIFO of the BCM2835 SPI master each accommodate 64 bytes
(16 32-bit dwords). The CS register provides hints on their fill level:
"Bit 19 RXR - RX FIFO needs Reading ([¾] full)
0 = RX FIFO is less than [¾] full (or not active TA = 0).
1 = RX FIFO is [¾] or more full. Cleared by reading sufficient
data from the RX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"Bit 16 DONE - Transfer Done
0 = Transfer is in progress (or not active TA = 0).
1 = Transfer is complete. Cleared by writing more data to the
TX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"If DONE is set [...], write up to 16 [dwords] to SPI_FIFO. [...]
If RXR is set read 12 [dwords] data from SPI_FIFO."
[Source: Pages 153, 154 and 158 of
https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf
Note: The spec is missing the "¾" character, presumably due to
copy-pasting from a different charset. It also incorrectly
refers to 16 and 12 "bytes" instead of 32-bit dwords.]
In short, the RXR bit indicates that 48 bytes can be read and the DONE
bit indicates 64 bytes can be written. Leverage this knowledge to read
or write bytes blindly to the FIFO, without polling whether data can be
read or free space is available to write. Moreover, when a transfer is
starting, the TX FIFO is known to be empty, likewise allowing a blind
write of 64 bytes.
This cuts the number of bus accesses in half if the fill level is known.
Also, the (posted) write accesses can be pipelined on the AXI bus since
they are no longer interleaved with (non-posted) reads.
bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_poll() switches to interrupt mode when a time
limit is exceeded by calling bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_irq(). The TX
FIFO may contain data in this case, but is known to be empty when the
function is called from bcm2835_spi_transfer_one(). Hence only blindly
fill the TX FIFO in the latter case but not the former.

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

|

|
* A limitation in DMA mode is that the FIFO must be accessed in 4 byte chunks.
|
|
|
|
* Only the final write access is permitted to transmit less than 4 bytes, the
|

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* This cannot happen with kmalloc'ed buffers (which is what most clients use)
|
|
|
|
* because they are contiguous in physical memory and therefore not split on

|
|
* page boundaries by spi_map_buf(). But it *can* happen with vmalloc'ed
|
|

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The DMA engine is incapable of combining sglist entries into a continuous
|
|
|
|
* stream of 4 byte chunks, it treats every entry separately: A TX entry is
|
|
|
|
* rounded up a to a multiple of 4 bytes by transmitting surplus bytes, an RX

|
|
* Overcome this limitation by transferring the first few bytes without DMA:

|
* E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is 23 and the first RX's is 42,
|
|
|
|
* write 3 bytes to the TX FIFO but read only 2 bytes from the RX FIFO.
|
|
|
|
* The residue of 1 byte in the RX FIFO is picked up by DMA. Together with
|
|
|
|
* the rest of the first RX sglist entry it makes up a multiple of 4 bytes.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Should the RX prologue be larger, say, 3 vis-à-vis a TX prologue of 1,
|
|
|
|
* write 1 + 4 = 5 bytes to the TX FIFO and read 3 bytes from the RX FIFO.
|
|
|
|
* Caution, the additional 4 bytes spill over to the second TX sglist entry
|
|
|
|
* if the length of the first is *exactly* 1.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* At most 6 bytes are written and at most 3 bytes read. Do we know the
|
|

* transfer has this many bytes? Yes, see BCM2835_SPI_DMA_MIN_LENGTH.
|

*
|
|
|

* The FIFO is normally accessed with 8-bit width by the CPU and 32-bit width
|
|
|
|
* by the DMA engine. Toggling the DMA Enable flag in the CS register switches
|
|
|
|
* the width but also garbles the FIFO's contents. The prologue must therefore
|
|
|
|
* be transmitted in 32-bit width to ensure that the following DMA transfer can

|
|
|
* pick up the residue in the RX FIFO in ungarbled form.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079

O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Work around DONE bit erratum
Commit 3bd7f6589f67 ("spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length
limitation") amended the BCM2835 SPI driver with support for DMA
transfers whose buffers are not aligned to 4 bytes and require more than
one sglist entry.
When testing this feature with upcoming commits to speed up TX-only and
RX-only transfers, I noticed that SPI transmission sometimes breaks.
A function introduced by the commit, bcm2835_spi_transfer_prologue(),
performs one or two PIO transmissions as a prologue to the actual DMA
transmission. It turns out that the breakage goes away if the DONE bit
in the CS register is set when ending such a PIO transmission.
The DONE bit signifies emptiness of the TX FIFO. According to the spec,
the bit is of type RO, so writing it should never have any effect.
Perhaps the spec is wrong and the bit is actually of type RW1C.
E.g. the I2C controller on the BCM2835 does have an RW1C DONE bit which
needs to be cleared by the driver. Another, possibly more likely
explanation is that it's a hardware erratum since the issue does not
occur consistently.
Either way, amend bcm2835_spi_transfer_prologue() to always write the
DONE bit.
Usually a transmission is ended by bcm2835_spi_reset_hw(). If the
transmission was successful, the TX FIFO is empty and thus the DONE bit
is set when bcm2835_spi_reset_hw() reads the CS register. The bit is
then written back to the register, so we happen to do the right thing.
However if DONE is not set, e.g. because transmission is aborted with
a non-empty TX FIFO, the bit won't be written by bcm2835_spi_reset_hw()
and it seems possible that transmission might subsequently break. To be
on the safe side, likewise amend bcm2835_spi_reset_hw() to always write
the bit.

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079

23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079

O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* For *TX-only* transfers (rx_buf is %NULL), copying the RX FIFO's contents to
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The CS register value is precalculated in bcm2835_spi_setup(). Normally
|
|
|

* DMA channel. Latency is thereby minimized. The descriptor does not

|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Clearing the RX FIFO is paced by the DREQ signal. The signal is asserted
|
|
|
|
* when the RX FIFO becomes half full, i.e. 32 bytes. (Tuneable with the DC
|
|
|
|
* register.) Reading 32 bytes from the RX FIFO would normally require 8 bus

|
* accesses, whereas clearing it requires only 1 bus access. So an 8-fold
|
|
|
|
* reduction in bus traffic and thus energy consumption is achieved.

|
|
|
|
* in bcm2835_dma_init(). It must be terminated once the RX DMA channel is
|
|
|
|
* done and can then be reused.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The BCM2835 DMA driver autodetects when a transaction copies from the zero
|
|
|
|
* page and utilizes the DMA controller's ability to synthesize zeroes instead
|
|
|
|
* of copying them from memory. This reduces traffic on the memory bus. The
|
|
|
|
* feature is not available on so-called "lite" channels, but normally TX DMA
|
|
|
|
* is backed by a full-featured channel.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* Zero-filling the TX FIFO is paced by the DREQ signal. Unfortunately the
|
|
|
|
* BCM2835 SPI controller continues to assert DREQ even after the DLEN register
|
|
|
|
* has been counted down to zero (hardware erratum). Thus, when the transfer
|
|
|
|
* has finished, the DMA engine zero-fills the TX FIFO until it is half full.
|

|
|
* (Tuneable with the DC register.) So up to 9 gratuitous bus accesses are

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Overcome sglist entry length limitation
When in DMA mode, the BCM2835 SPI controller requires that the FIFO is
accessed in 4 byte chunks. This rule is not fulfilled if a transfer
consists of multiple sglist entries, one per page, and the first entry
starts in the middle of a page with an offset not a multiple of 4.
The driver currently falls back to programmed I/O for such transfers,
incurring a significant performance penalty.
Overcome this hardware limitation by transferring the first few bytes of
a transfer without DMA such that the remainder of the first sglist entry
becomes a multiple of 4. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
An alternative approach would have been to split transfers in the
->prepare_message hook, but this may necessitate two transfers per page,
defeating the goal of clustering multiple pages together in a single
transfer for efficiency. E.g. if the first TX sglist entry's length is
23 and the first RX's is 40, the first transfer would send and receive
23 bytes, the second 40 - 23 = 17 bytes, the third 4096 - 17 = 4079
bytes, the fourth 4096 - 4079 = 17 bytes and so on. In other words,
O(n) transfers are necessary (n = number of sglist entries), whereas
the algorithm implemented herein only requires O(1) additional work.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up FIFO access if fill level is known
The RX and TX FIFO of the BCM2835 SPI master each accommodate 64 bytes
(16 32-bit dwords). The CS register provides hints on their fill level:
"Bit 19 RXR - RX FIFO needs Reading ([¾] full)
0 = RX FIFO is less than [¾] full (or not active TA = 0).
1 = RX FIFO is [¾] or more full. Cleared by reading sufficient
data from the RX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"Bit 16 DONE - Transfer Done
0 = Transfer is in progress (or not active TA = 0).
1 = Transfer is complete. Cleared by writing more data to the
TX FIFO or setting TA to 0."
"If DONE is set [...], write up to 16 [dwords] to SPI_FIFO. [...]
If RXR is set read 12 [dwords] data from SPI_FIFO."
[Source: Pages 153, 154 and 158 of
https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf
Note: The spec is missing the "¾" character, presumably due to
copy-pasting from a different charset. It also incorrectly
refers to 16 and 12 "bytes" instead of 32-bit dwords.]
In short, the RXR bit indicates that 48 bytes can be read and the DONE
bit indicates 64 bytes can be written. Leverage this knowledge to read
or write bytes blindly to the FIFO, without polling whether data can be
read or free space is available to write. Moreover, when a transfer is
starting, the TX FIFO is known to be empty, likewise allowing a blind
write of 64 bytes.
This cuts the number of bus accesses in half if the fill level is known.
Also, the (posted) write accesses can be pipelined on the AXI bus since
they are no longer interleaved with (non-posted) reads.
bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_poll() switches to interrupt mode when a time
limit is exceeded by calling bcm2835_spi_transfer_one_irq(). The TX
FIFO may contain data in this case, but is known to be empty when the
function is called from bcm2835_spi_transfer_one(). Hence only blindly
fill the TX FIFO in the latter case but not the former.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.

spi: bcm2835: Speed up TX-only DMA transfers by clearing RX FIFO
The BCM2835 SPI driver currently sets the SPI_CONTROLLER_MUST_RX flag.
When performing a TX-only transfer, this flag causes the SPI core to
allocate and DMA-map a dummy buffer into which the RX FIFO contents are
copied. The dummy buffer is necessary because the chip is not capable
of disabling the receiver or automatically throwing away received data.
Not reading the RX FIFO isn't an option either since transmission is
halted once it's full.
Avoid the overhead induced by the dummy buffer by preallocating a
reusable DMA transaction which cyclically clears the RX FIFO. The
transaction requires very little CPU time to submit and generates no
interrupts while running. Specifics are provided in kerneldoc comments.
With a ks8851 Ethernet chip attached to the SPI controller, I am seeing
a 30 us reduction in ping time with this commit (1.819 ms vs. 1.849 ms,
average of 100,000 packets) as well as a 2% reduction in CPU time
(75:08 vs. 76:39 for transmission of 5 GByte over the SPI bus).
The commit uses the TX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a transfer.
This interrupt is raised once all bytes have been written to the
TX FIFO and it is then necessary to busy-wait for the TX FIFO to become
empty before the transfer can be finalized. As an alternative approach,
I have explored using the SPI controller's DONE interrupt to detect
completion. This interrupt is signaled when the TX FIFO becomes empty,
avoiding the need to busy-wait. However latency deteriorates compared
to the present commit and surprisingly, CPU time is slightly higher as
well:
It turns out that in 45% of the cases, no busy-waiting is needed at all
and in 76% of the cases, less than 10 busy-wait iterations are
sufficient for the TX FIFO to drain. This was measured on an RT kernel.
On a vanilla kernel, wakeup latency is worse and thus fewer iterations
are needed. The measurements were made with an SPI clock of 20 MHz,
they may differ slightly for slower or faster clock speeds.
Previously we always used the RX DMA interrupt to signal completion of a
transfer. Using the TX DMA interrupt now introduces a race condition:
TX DMA is always started before RX DMA so that bytes are already clocked
out while RX DMA is still being set up. But if a TX-only transfer is
very short, then the TX DMA interrupt may occur before RX DMA is set up.
If the interrupt happens to occur on the same CPU, setup of RX DMA may
even be delayed until after the interrupt was handled.
I've solved this by having the TX DMA callback clear the RX FIFO while
busy-waiting for the TX FIFO to drain, thus avoiding a dependency on
setup of RX DMA. Additionally, I am using a lock-free mechanism with
two flags, tx_dma_active and rx_dma_active plus memory barriers to
terminate RX DMA either by the TX DMA callback or immediately after
setting it up, whichever wins the race. I've explored an alternative
approach which temporarily disables the TX DMA callback until RX DMA
has been set up (using tasklet_disable(), local_bh_disable() or
local_irq_save()), but the performance was minimally worse.
