soc/intel/cmn/cse: Handle EOP completion asynchronously
coreboot supports three instances of sending EOP:
1. At CSE `.final' device operation
2. Early as with Alder Lake in chip_operations.init if
`SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_EARLY' is selected
3. At BS_PAYLOAD_BOOT as designed for Meteor Lake if
`SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_LATE' is selected
Currently, Alder Lake uses #3 as it results in better and more stable
boot time. However, what would deliver even better result is to not
actively wait for CSE completion.
This patch introduces a new `SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_ASYNC' Kconfig
which split the action of sending EOP request and receiving EOP
completion response from the CSE.
This patch used in conjunction with #1 can significantly
improves the overall boot time on a Raptor Lake design. For example
`SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_ASYNC' on a skolas board can deliver up to 36
ms boot time improvement as illustrated below.
| # | Late EOP | Async EOP |
|----------+----------+-----------|
| 1 | 1020.052 | 971.272 |
| 2 | 1015.911 | 971.821 |
| 3 | 1038.415 | 1021.841 |
| 4 | 1020.657 | 993.751 |
| 5 | 1065.128 | 1020.951 |
| 6 | 1037.859 | 1023.326 |
| 7 | 1042.010 | 984.412 |
|----------+----------+-----------|
| Mean | 1034.29 | 998.20 |
| Variance | 4.76 % | 5.21 % |
The improvement is not stable but comparing coreboot and FSP
performance timestamps demonstrate that the slowness is caused by a
lower memory frequency (SaGv point) at early boot which is not an
issue addressed by this patch.
We also observe some improvement on an Alder Lake design. For example,
the same configuration on a kano board can deliver up to 10 ms boot time
improvement as illustrated below.
| # | Late EOP | Async EOP |
|----------+----------+-----------|
| 0 | 1067.719 | 1050.106 |
| 1 | 1058.263 | 1056.836 |
| 2 | 1064.091 | 1056.709 |
| 3 | 1068.614 | 1055.042 |
| 4 | 1065.749 | 1056.732 |
| 5 | 1069.838 | 1057.846 |
| 6 | 1066.897 | 1053.548 |
| 7 | 1060.850 | 1051.911 |
|----------+----------+-----------|
| Mean | 1065.25 | 1054.84 |
The improvement is more limited on kano because a longer PCIe
initialization delays EOP in the Late EOP configuration which make it
faster to complete.
CSME team confirms that:
1. End-Of-Post is a blocking command in the sense that BIOS is
requested to wait for the command completion before loading the OS or
second stage bootloader.
2. The BIOS is not required to actively wait for completion of the
command and can perform other operations in the meantime as long as
they do not involve HECI commands.
On Raptor Lake, coreboot does not send any HECI command after
End-Of-Post. FSP-s code review did not reveal any HECI command being
sent as part of the `AFTER_PCI_ENUM', `READY_TO_BOOT' or
`END_OF_FIRMWARE' notifications.
If any HECI send and receive command has been sent the extra code
added in `cse_receive_eop()' should catch it.
According to commit 387ec919d9f7 ("soc/intel/alderlake: Select
SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_LATE"), FSP-silicon can sometimes (on the first
boot after flashing of a Marasov board for instance) request coreboot
to perform a global request out of AFTER_PCI_ENUM notification. Global
request relies on a HECI command. Even though, we tested that it does
not create any issue, `SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_ASYNC' flag should not
be associated to the `SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_EARLY' flag to prevent
potential a global reset command to "conflict" with the EOP command.
BUG=b:276339544
BRANCH=firmware-brya-14505.B
TEST=Tests on brya0 with and `SOC_INTEL_CSE_SEND_EOP_ASYNC' show
End-Of-Post sent soon after FSP-s and EOP message receive at
`BS_PAYLOAD_BOOT'. Verify robustness by injecting a
`GET_BOOT_STATE' HECI command with or without `heci_reset'. The
implementation always successfully completed the EOP before
moving to the payload. As expected, the boot time benefit of the
asynchronous solution was under some injection scenario
undermined by this unexpected HECI command.

Starting with Jasper Lake, coreboot sends EOP before loading payload hence, this

+ Use this config to handle End Of Post (EOP) completion
+ asynchronously. The EOP command is sent first and the result
+ is checked later leaving time to CSE to complete the
+ operation while coreboot perform other activities.
+ Performing EOP asynchronously reduces the time spent
+ actively waiting for command completion which can have a
+ significant impact on boot time.
+
+ Using this asynchronous approach comes with the limitation
+ that no HECI command should be sent between the time the EOP
+ request is posted (at CSE .final device operation) and the
+ time coreboot check for its completion (BS_PAYLOAD_LOAD).
