[Skiboot] [PATCH v9 2/2] SBE: Add timer support

Vasant Hegde hegdevasant at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Apr 23 16:45:32 AEST 2018


SBE on P9 provides one shot programmable timer facility. We can use this
to implement OPAL timers and hence limit the reliance on the Linux
heartbeat (similar to HW timer facility provided by SLW on P8).

Design:
  - We will continue to run Linux heartbeat.
  - Each chip has SBE. This patch always schedules timer on SBE on master chip.
  - Start timer option starts new timer or modifies an active timer for the
    specified timeout.
  - SBE expects timeout value in microseconds. We track timeout value in TB.
    Hence we convert tb to microseconds before sending request to SBE.
  - We are requesting ack from SBE for timer message. It gaurantees that
    SBE has scheduled timer.
  - Disabling SBE timer
    We expect SBE to send timer expiry interrupt whenever timer expires. We
    wait for 10 more ms before disabling timer.
    In future we can consider below alternative approaches:
      - Presently SBE timer disable is permanent (until we reboot system).
        SBE sends "I'm back" interrupt after reset. We can consider restarting
        timer after SBE reset.
      - Reset SBE and start timer again.
      - Each chip has SBE. On multi chip system we can try to schedule timer
        on different chip.
