deprecated register issues

[Mao, David]

We requires base driver to provide the mask of disabled RB.
This is why kernel read the CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE to collect the harvest configuration.
Where did you get to know that the register is deprecated?
I think it should still be there.

David

Hi David

Do you know if GC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE is still exist for gfx9/vega10 ?

We found CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE was deprecated but looks it is still in use in kmd, so
I want to check with you both of above registers

Thanks

Hi Monk,

I honestly don't have the slightest idea why we are still accessing CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE. Maybe it still contains some useful values?

Key point was that we needed to stop accessing it all the time to avoid triggering problems.

Christian.

Hi Christian



I remember you and AlexD mentioned that a handful registers are deprecated for greenland (gfx9)

e.g. CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE



do you know why we still have this routine ?


static u32
gfx_v9_0_get_rb_active_bitmap(struct amdgpu_device *adev)

{

    u32 data, mask;



    data = RREG32_SOC15(GC,
0, mmCC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE);

    data |= RREG32_SOC15(GC,
0, mmGC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE);



    data &= CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE__BACKEND_DISABLE_MASK;

    data >>= GC_USER_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE__BACKEND_DISABLE__SHIFT;



    mask = amdgpu_gfx_create_bitmask(adev->gfx.config.max_backends_per_se /

                     adev->gfx.config.max_sh_per_se);



    return (~data) & mask;

}



see that it still read CC_RB_BACKEND_DISABLE



thanks
