[PATCHv2 1/3] remoteproc: add rproc_report_crash function to notify rproc crashes

From: Fernando Guzman Lugo
Date: Thu Aug 30 2012 - 14:26:32 EST


This patch is exporting the rproc_report_crash function which can be used
to report a rproc crash to the remoteproc core. This function is specially
thought to be called by low-level remoteproc driver code in case of
detecting a crash (remoteproc is not functional anymore). Using this
function from another driver (non rproc driver) should be analyzed very
carefully most of the time that will be considered wrong.

rproc_report_crash function can be called from any context, that means,
it can be called from atomic context without any problem. The reporter
function is creating a new thread (workqueue work) in charge of handling
the crash (if possible).

Creating this new thread is done for two main reasons. First reason is
to be able to call it from atomic context, due to the fact that many
crashes trigger an interrupt, so this function can be called directly
from ISR context. Second reason is avoid any deadlock condition which
could happen if the rproc_report_crash function is called from a
function which is indirectly holding a rproc lock.

The reporter function is scheduling the crash handler task. This task
is thought to have some features like:

-remoteproc register dump
-remoteproc stack dump
-remoteproc core dump
-Saving of the remoteproc traces in order to be visible after the crash
-Reseting the remoteproc in order to make it functional again (hard recovery)

Right now, it is only printing the crash type which was detected. The
types of crashes are represented by an enum. I have only added mmufault
crash type. Remoteproc low-level drivers can add more types when needed.
