I think (but I am happy to be corrected) that the map_bus() hook
(ie that's why struct pci_bus is required in eg
pci_generic_config_write)
is there to ensure that when the generic accessors are called
a) we have a valid bus b) the host controllers implementing it
has been initialized.

I had another look and I noticed you are trying to solve multiple
things at once:

1) ACPICA seems to need PCI config space on bus 0 to be working
before PCI enumerates (ie before we have a root bus), we need to
countercheck on that, but you can't use the generic PCI accessors
for that reasons (ie root bus might not be available, you do not
have a pci_bus struct)
2) the raw_pci_read/write require _generic_ mmio back-ends, since AMD
can't cope with standard x86 read/write{b,w,l}

Overall, it seems to me that we can avoid code duplication by
shuffling your code a bit.

You could modify the generic accessors in drivers/pci/access.c to
use your mmio back-end instead of using plain read/write{b,w,l}
functions (we should check if RobH is ok with that there can be
reasons that prevent this from happening). This would solve the
AMD mmio issue.

By factoring out the code that actually carries out the reads
and writes in the accessors basically you decouple the functions
requiring the struct pci_bus from the ones that does not require it
(ie raw_pci_{read/write}.

The generic MMIO layer belongs in the drivers/pci/access.c file, it has
nothing to do with ECAM.

The mmcfg interface should probably live in pci-acpi.c, I do not think
you need an extra file in there but that's a detail.

Basically the generic accessors would become something like eg:

int pci_generic_config_write(struct pci_bus *bus, unsigned int devfn,
int where, int size, u32 val)
{
void __iomem *addr;

addr = bus->ops->map_bus(bus, devfn, where);
if (!addr)
return PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND;

pci_mmio_write(size, addr + where, value);

return PCIBIOS_SUCCESSFUL;
}

With that in place using raw_pci_write/read or the generic accessors
becomes almost identical, with code requiring the pci_bus to be
created using the generic accessors and ACPICA using the raw version.

I might be missing something, so apologies if that's the case.


Actually, I think you showed me the right direction :) Here are some
conclusions/comments/concerns. Please correct me if I am wrong:

1. We need raw_pci_write/read accessors (based on ECAM) for ARM64 too
but only up to the point where buses are enumerated. From that point on,
we should reuse generic accessors from access.c file, right?

Well, I still have not figured out whether on arm64 the raw accessors
required by ACPICA make sense.

So either arm64 relies on the generic MCFG based raw read and writes
or we define the global raw read and writes as empty (ie x86 overrides
them anyway).


My concerns/ideas related to raw accessors for ARM64, please correct me
at any point.

ACPI spec - chapter: 19.5.96 OperationRegion (Declare Operation Region)
defines PCI_Config as one of region types. Every time ASL opcode
operates on corresponding PCI config space region, ASL interpreter is
dispatching address space to our raw accessors, please see
acpi_ex_pci_config_space_handler, acpi_ev_pci_config_region_setup calls.
What is more important, such operations may happen after (yes after) bus
enumeration, but always raw accessors are called at the end with the
{segment, bus, dev, fn} tuple.

Giving above, here are some ideas:
1. We force somehow vendors to avoid operations on PCI config regions in
ASL code. PCI config region definitions still fall into Hardware Reduced
profile, so new ACPICA special subset for ARM64 is need. Then raw ACPI
accessors can be empty (and overridden by x86).
2. We provide raw accessors which translate {segment, bus, dev, fn}
tuple to Linux generic accessors (this can be considered only if PCI
config accesses happened after bus enumeration for HR profile, thus
tuple to bus structure map is possible).
4. We rely on the generic MCFG based raw read and writes.

I will appreciate your opinion on above ideas.
