Mike Tipton 81b6ea435e FROMGIT: clk: Don't parent clks until the parent is fully registered
Before commit fc0c209c14 ("clk: Allow parents to be specified without
string names") child clks couldn't find their parent until the parent
clk was added to a list in __clk_core_init(). After that commit, child
clks can reference their parent clks directly via a clk_hw pointer, or
they can lookup that clk_hw pointer via DT if the parent clk is
registered with an OF clk provider.

The common clk framework treats hw->core being non-NULL as "the clk is
registered" per the logic within clk_core_fill_parent_index():

	parent = entry->hw->core;
	/*
	 * We have a direct reference but it isn't registered yet?
	 * Orphan it and let clk_reparent() update the orphan status
	 * when the parent is registered.
	 */
	if (!parent)

Therefore we need to be extra careful to not set hw->core until the clk
is fully registered with the clk framework. Otherwise we can get into a
situation where a child finds a parent clk and we move the child clk off
the orphan list when the parent isn't actually registered, wrecking our
enable accounting and breaking critical clks.

Consider the following scenario:

  CPU0                                     CPU1
  ----                                     ----
  struct clk_hw clkBad;
  struct clk_hw clkA;

  clkA.init.parent_hws = { &clkBad };

  clk_hw_register(&clkA)                   clk_hw_register(&clkBad)
   ...                                      __clk_register()
					     hw->core = core
					     ...
   __clk_register()
    __clk_core_init()
     clk_prepare_lock()
     __clk_init_parent()
      clk_core_get_parent_by_index()
       clk_core_fill_parent_index()
        if (entry->hw) {
	 parent = entry->hw->core;

At this point, 'parent' points to clkBad even though clkBad hasn't been
fully registered yet. Ouch! A similar problem can happen if a clk
controller registers orphan clks that are referenced in the DT node of
another clk controller.

Let's fix all this by only setting the hw->core pointer underneath the
clk prepare lock in __clk_core_init(). This way we know that
clk_core_fill_parent_index() can't see hw->core be non-NULL until the
clk is fully registered.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass script/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
