If the expected number of FTS aren't received by RC when exiting from L0s, the LTSSM will fall into recover state, which means it will need to send TS for retraining which makes the latency of exiting from L0s a little longer than expected. This issue is caused by an incorrect reset value of FTS count on PLC1 register (offset 0x4). The expected value for Gen1/2 should be more than 240 and we may leave a little margin here. Fix this before starting Gen1 training which will make TS1 contain the correct FTS count. Signed-off-by: Shawn Lin <shawn.lin@rock-chips.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

Per TRM, we need to deassert the four reset pins simultaneously. Currently the reset framework doesn't support that so we did it one by one. It seems no side effect found but it does impact the state machine of controller, so sometimes the change speed bit is not set when sending training sequence from recover state. After the silicon RTL review from SoC guys, we don't need to do the sequence recommended by TRM, and could just move the deassert of mgmt_sticky_rst to the first place.

Increase the likelihood of link state to automatically go to L1 and save some power. The default credit update interval of 7.5 us results in the rootport sending UpdateFC-P and UpdateFC-NP packets too often, thus resulting in the link never going to L1, and always staying in L0/L0s. The value 24 us was chosen after some experiments and peeking over the PCIe bus to see that we do enter L1 substate when there is not enough traffic on the PCIe bus.

Resource allocation for VFs is done via the VF BARx registers in the PF's SR-IOV Capability, and the BARs in the VFs themselves are read-only zeros (see SR-IOV spec r1.1, secs 3.3.14 and 3.4.1.11). Even though the actual VF BARs are read-only zeros, the VF dev->resource[] structs describe the space allocated for the VF (this is a piece of the space described by the VF BARx register in the PF's SR-IOV capability). It's meaningless to request additional alignment for a VF: the VF BAR alignment is completely determined by the alignment of the VF BARx in the PF and the size of the VF BAR. Ignore the user's alignment requests for VF devices. Signed-off-by: Yongji Xie <xyjxie@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

Users may request additional alignment of PCI resources, e.g., to align BARs on page boundaries so they can be shared with guests via VFIO. This of course may require reallocation if firmware has already assigned the BARs with smaller alignments. If the platform has requested PCI_PROBE_ONLY, we should never change any PCI BARs, so we can't provide any additional alignment. Also, if a BAR is marked as IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED, e.g., for PCI Enhanced Allocation or if the firmware depends on the current BAR value, we can't change the alignment. In these cases, log a message and ignore the user's alignment requests.

Commit 58a1fbbb ("PM / PCI / ACPI: Kick devices that might have been reset by firmware") added a runtime resume for devices that were runtime suspended when the system entered sleep. The motivation was that devices might be in a reset-power-on state after waking from system sleep, so their power state as perceived by Linux (stored in pci_dev->current_state) would no longer reflect reality. By resuming such devices, we allow them to return to a low-power state via autosuspend and also bring their current_state in sync with reality. However for devices that are *not* in a reset-power-on state, doing an unconditional resume wastes energy. A more refined approach is called for which issues a runtime resume only if the power state after direct-complete is shallower than it was before. To achieve this, update the device's current_state and compare it to its pre-sleep value.

Whenever a device is resumed or its power state is changed using the platform, its new power state is read from the PM Control & Status Register and cached in pci_dev->current_state by calling pci_update_current_state(). If the device is in D3cold, reading from config space typically results in a fabricated "all ones" response. But if it's in D3hot, the two bits representing the power state in the PMCSR are *also* set to 1. Thus D3hot and D3cold are not discernible by just reading the PMCSR. To account for this, pci_update_current_state() uses two workarounds: - When transitioning to D3cold using pci_platform_power_transition(), the new power state is set blindly by pci_update_current_state(), i.e. without verifying that the device actually *is* in D3cold. This is achieved by setting the "state" argument to PCI_D3cold. The "state" argument was originally intended to convey the new state in case the device doesn't have the PM capability. It is *also* used to convey the device state if the PM capability is present and the new state is D3cold, but this was never explained in the kerneldoc. - Once the current_state is set to D3cold, further invocations of pci_update_current_state() will blindly assume that the device is still in D3cold and leave the current_state unmodified. To get out of this impasse, the current_state has to be set directly, typically by calling pci_raw_set_power_state() or pci_enable_device(). It would be desirable if pci_update_current_state() could reliably detect D3cold by itself. That would allow us to do away with these workarounds, and it would allow for a smarter, more energy conserving runtime resume strategy after system sleep: Currently devices which utilize direct_complete are mandatorily runtime resumed in their ->complete stage. This can be avoided if their power state after system sleep is the same as before, but it requires a mechanism to detect the power state reliably. We've just gained the ability to query the platform firmware for its opinion on the device's power state. On platforms conforming to ACPI 4.0 or newer, this allows recognition of D3cold. Pre-4.0 platforms lack _PR3 and therefore the deepest power state that will ever be reported is D3hot, even though the device may actually be in D3cold. To detect D3cold in those cases, accessibility of the vendor ID in config space is probed using pci_device_is_present(). This also works for devices which are not platform-power-manageable at all, but can be suspended to D3cold using a nonstandard mechanism (e.g. some hybrid graphics laptops or Thunderbolt on the Mac).

Usually the most accurate way to determine a PCI device's power state is to read its PM Control & Status Register. There are two cases however when this is not an option: If the device doesn't have the PM capability at all, or if it is in D3cold (in which case its config space is inaccessible). In both cases, we can alternatively query the platform firmware for its opinion on the device's power state. To facilitate this, augment struct pci_platform_pm_ops with a ->get_power callback and implement it for acpi_pci_platform_pm (the only pci_platform_pm_ops existing so far). It is used by a forthcoming commit to let pci_update_current_state() recognize D3cold.

There are devices not power-manageable by the platform, but still able to runtime suspend to D3cold with a non-standard mechanism. One example is laptop hybrid graphics where the discrete GPU and its built-in HDA controller are power-managed either with a _DSM (AMD PowerXpress, Nvidia Optimus) or a separate gmux controller (MacBook Pro). Another example is Thunderbolt on Macs which is power-managed with custom ACPI methods. When putting the system to sleep, we currently handle such devices improperly by transitioning them from D3cold to D3hot (the default power state defined at the top of pci_target_state()). This wastes energy and prolongs the suspend sequence (powering up the Thunderbolt controller takes 2 seconds). Avoid that by assuming that a non-standard PM mechanism is at work if the device is not platform-power-manageable but currently in D3cold. If the device is wakeup enabled, we might still have to wake it up from D3cold if PME cannot be signaled from that power state. The check for devices without PM capability comes before the check for D3cold since such devices could in theory also be powered down by non-standard means and should then be afforded direct-complete as well.

When handling AER events, we previously allocated a struct aer_err_info, processed the error, and freed the struct. But aer_isr_one_error() is serialized by rpc_mutex, so we never need more than one copy of the struct, and the struct is only about 70 bytes, so we're not saving much by allocating it dynamically. Embed a struct aer_err_info directly in struct aer_rpc, which is allocated at probe-time by aer_probe().

Add set_dev_domain_options() to set PCI domain-specific options as devices are added. The first usage is to request exclusive userspace control of PCIe hotplug indicators in VMD domains. Devices in a VMD domain use PCIe hotplug Attention and Power Indicators in a non-standard way; tell pciehp to ignore the indicators so userspace can control them via the sysfs "attention" file. To determine whether a bus is within a VMD domain, add a bool to the pci_sysdata structure that the VMD driver sets during initialization.

PCIe hotplug supports optional Attention and Power Indicators, which are used internally by pciehp. Users can't control the Power Indicator, but they can control the Attention Indicator by writing to a sysfs "attention" file. The Slot Control register has two bits for each indicator, and the PCIe spec defines the encodings for each as (Reserved/On/Blinking/Off). For sysfs "attention" writes, pciehp_set_attention_status() maps into these encodings, so the only useful write values are 0 (Off), 1 (On), and 2 (Blinking). However, some platforms use all four bits for platform-specific indicators, and they need to allow direct user control of them while preventing pciehp from using them at all. Add a "hotplug_user_indicators" flag to the pci_dev structure. When set, pciehp does not use either the Attention Indicator or the Power Indicator, and the low four bits (values 0x0 - 0xf) of sysfs "attention" write values are written directly to the Attention Indicator Control and Power Indicator Control fields.

Then it is translated again when the AER driver calls cper_print_aer(). This causes the severity that is used in cper_print_aer() to be incorrect.

Fix a potential race when disabling MSI/MSI-X on a VMD domain device. If the VMD interrupt service is running, it may see a disabled IRQ. We can synchronize RCU just before freeing the MSI descriptor. This is safe since the irq_desc lock isn't held, and the descriptor is valid even though it is disabled. After vmd_msi_free(), though, the handler is reinitialized to handle_bad_irq(), so we can't let the VMD ISR's list iteration see the disabled IRQ after this.

Per the PCI Firmware spec, r3.0, sec 4.5.1, on ACPI systems, the OS must not use AER unless _OSC is present and _OSC grants AER control to the OS. The aerdriver.forceload kernel parameter was a way to enable Linux AER support on ACPI systems that lack _OSC or fail to grant control the the OS.
