[PATCH u-boot 0/4] mmc: Explain and cleanup partition selection

Some people do not want to read review comments in emails. So put comments and explanation into the source code itself; make emmc partition selection code more explicit and validate configuration in bubt command.
Pali Rohár (4): mmc: spl: Make partition choice in default_spl_mmc_emmc_boot_partition() more explicit cmd: mvebu/bubt: Validate EXT_CSD[179] eMMC register in mmc_burn_image() sunxi: eMMC: Add comments explaining mapping between bootpart and mmc_switch_part() board: purism: Use U-Boot mmc function for converting boot part to part access
arch/arm/mach-sunxi/board.c | 12 ++++++++++- board/purism/librem5/librem5.c | 6 +----- cmd/mvebu/bubt.c | 24 +++++++++++++++++++-- common/spl/spl_mmc.c | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 4 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)

To make eMMC partition choosing in default_spl_mmc_emmc_boot_partition() function better understandable, rewrite it via explicit switch-case code pattern.
Also add a warning when eMMC EXT_CSD[179] register is configured by user to value which is not suitable for eMMC booting and SPL do not know how to interpret it.
Note that when booting from eMMC device via EXT_CSD[179] register is explicitly disabled then SPL still loads and boots from this eMMC device from User Area partition. This behavior was not changed in this commit and should be revisited in the future.

Except for the messages in that file which use debug() they use puts(), yes. Since none of these are fatal messages (you're falling through) please switch them to debug() rather than introduce a new CONFIG symbol, so that if someone is bringing up a platform where this is a problem they'll be able to debug it, but the general case does not increase the binary size of most platforms.

We should at those two places fail. But I do not want to break existing improperly configured setups, so warning a good way to show people that they have something misconfigured. Later in future we switch warnings to fatal errors. But if we do not show anything at these points, nobody would figure out that has improper setup configuration. debug() is IIRC not shown by default.

Please just use debug() for these messages.
All other error/warning messages in this file are printed via puts(). So I'm just following the current style (and I'm really not going to change all occurrences in this patch).
Except for the messages in that file which use debug() they use puts(), yes. Since none of these are fatal messages (you're falling through) please switch them to debug() rather than introduce a new CONFIG symbol, so that if someone is bringing up a platform where this is a problem they'll be able to debug it, but the general case does not increase the binary size of most platforms. I'm not asking you to change anything existing in the file, only what you're adding.
We should at those two places fail. But I do not want to break existing improperly configured setups, so warning a good way to show people that they have something misconfigured. Later in future we switch warnings to fatal errors. But if we do not show anything at these points, nobody would figure out that has improper setup configuration. debug() is IIRC not shown by default.
Ah, so the plan is they should be fatal, and there's a way to fix the configuration? Lets just panic() them now, instead. I really really do not want to grow every SPL+MMC using board (which is a lot of them) by several hundred bytes of strings. Lets catch the mis-configuration, merge it in early in the cycle (right now for v2023.10 for example, especially since the MMC custodian is promising to review things and get a PR out ASAP), and see what falls out. A panic() and a big comment explaining things should suffice.

To make eMMC partition choosing in default_spl_mmc_emmc_boot_partition() function better understandable, rewrite it via explicit switch-case code pattern.
Also add a warning when eMMC EXT_CSD[179] register is configured by user to value which is not suitable for eMMC booting and SPL do not know how to interpret it.
Note that when booting from eMMC device via EXT_CSD[179] register is explicitly disabled then SPL still loads and boots from this eMMC device from User Area partition. This behavior was not changed in this commit and should be revisited in the future.

Yes, EXT_CSD[179] is configurable register, you can change boot partition bits (those are non-volatile) via your favorite emmc config tool. U-Boot has also tool "mmc partconf" which can do that. But you first need to be able enter into u-boot console and also you need to enable this tool your board config file.
Lets just panic() them now, instead. I really really do not want to grow every SPL+MMC using board (which is a lot of them) by several hundred bytes of strings.

Ok, I can change "reserved values" to panic().
About "booting is disabled" - I do not think that panic is correct here. See inline comments in code. Rather do the correct thing - skip emmc and let SPL to boot from next source. But some message needs to be printed here why emmc was skipped....

How verbose all of this needs to be depends on who is likely to encounter this type of problem. Are we talking about systems in the wild today that are misconfigured, or are we talking about problems that will arise as part of bringing up a new design and if you don't do X correctly then Y will happen oddly/wrongly?

I have no idea. We already seen that not all people understood how it works. And also people are always creative in inventing hacks. So this is mainly for existing systems.
For future in mmc area I have just cleanup patches which should not result in code change or in behavior change.

Except for the messages in that file which use debug() they use puts(), yes. Since none of these are fatal messages (you're falling through) please switch them to debug() rather than introduce a new CONFIG symbol, so that if someone is bringing up a platform where this is a problem they'll be able to debug it, but the general case does not increase the binary size of most platforms. I'm not asking you to change anything existing in the file, only what you're adding.
We should at those two places fail. But I do not want to break existing improperly configured setups, so warning a good way to show people that they have something misconfigured. Later in future we switch warnings to fatal errors. But if we do not show anything at these points, nobody would figure out that has improper setup configuration. debug() is IIRC not shown by default.
Ah, so the plan is they should be fatal, and there's a way to fix the configuration?
Yes, EXT_CSD[179] is configurable register, you can change boot partition bits (those are non-volatile) via your favorite emmc config tool. U-Boot has also tool "mmc partconf" which can do that. But you first need to be able enter into u-boot console and also you need to enable this tool your board config file.
Lets just panic() them now, instead. I really really do not want to grow every SPL+MMC using board (which is a lot of them) by several hundred bytes of strings. Lets catch the mis-configuration, merge it in early in the cycle (right now for v2023.10 for example, especially since the MMC custodian is promising to review things and get a PR out ASAP), and see what falls out. A panic() and a big comment explaining things should suffice.
Ok, I can change "reserved values" to panic().
About "booting is disabled" - I do not think that panic is correct here. See inline comments in code. Rather do the correct thing - skip emmc and let SPL to boot from next source. But some message needs to be printed here why emmc was skipped....
How verbose all of this needs to be depends on who is likely to encounter this type of problem. Are we talking about systems in the wild today that are misconfigured, or are we talking about problems that will arise as part of bringing up a new design and if you don't do X correctly then Y will happen oddly/wrongly?
-- Tom
I have no idea. We already seen that not all people understood how it works. And also people are always creative in inventing hacks. So this is mainly for existing systems.
For future in mmc area I have just cleanup patches which should not result in code change or in behavior change.
OK, so how about something like: case 0: /* Booting from this eMMC device is disabled */ /* Long comment to explain likely mis-configuration and how to fix it */ puts("spl: mmc: eMMC misconfigured, falling back to eMMC user area\n"); fallthrough; case 7: part = 0; break; case 1: /* Boot partition 1 is used for booting */ part = 1; break; case 2: /* Boot partition 2 is used for booting */ part = 2; break;
As that shouldn't be too much of a size increase from strings, but still be "scary" enough that users will report the message to find out what's going on, and we can investigate from there (my first open question is what case the TI ARCH_OMAP2PLUS trigger as ROM does not support the boot partitions there for booting, that was only fixed in the K3 parts).

To make eMMC partition choosing in default_spl_mmc_emmc_boot_partition() function better understandable, rewrite it via explicit switch-case code pattern.
Also indicate an error when eMMC EXT_CSD[179] register is configured by user to value which is not suitable for eMMC booting and SPL do not know how to interpret it.

Unfortunately no, sama5d2_xplained_emmc, sama5d2_xplained_mmc and sama5d2_xplained_qspiflash are failing with v3; but not with v2.
Seems that these boards have their SPL at limit and adding any new puts() increase size over the limit.
So I think that there is no other way than just adding a new config option to hide this new puts().

We should enable LTO on those platforms then and buy us some space.

When determining eMMC boot partition for a bootloader, validate that EXT_CSD[179] eMMC register is set to recognized value.
This prevent situation that EXT_CSD[179] Boot Enable value is improperly parsed and passed into EXT_CSD[179] Partition Access.

Mapping between bootpart taken from EXT_CSD_EXTRACT_BOOT_PART() and Partition Access bits used by the mmc_switch_part() function may be quite misleading. So add extended comment describing why in sunxi case is this mapping just a simple identity. Because in generic case this mapping requires non-trivial mapping table.

Ah, indeed, many thanks for clearing this up! I missed the subtleties of bootpart meaning slightly different things between EXT_CSD_EXTRACT_BOOT_PART and mmc_switch_part(). It looks like we were quite lucky as we only care about 1 and 2 here!

eMMC Boot Partition Enable bits in mmc->part_config (EXT_CSD[179]) has different coding than eMMC Partition Access bits.
Use spl_mmc_emmc_boot_partition() function which does this conversion properly (hopefully).

Sorry for too late. After applied this patch-set, some board are failed with spl's size overflowed
The below is one of failed log.

Crap, and again we have there same issue. Patch after months does not apply anymore. And resending the patch would again result in the same problem that it would not apply anymore after half of the year...
Anyway, only first patch is SPL specific, other should apply without any problem.
