2025-11-15gpu: nova-core: Implement the GSP sequencerJoel Fernandes
Implement the GSP sequencer which culminates in INIT_DONE message being received from the GSP indicating that the GSP has successfully booted. This is just initial sequencer support, the actual commands will be added in the next patches. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> [acourbot@nvidia.com: move GspSequencerInfo definition before its impl blocks and rename it to GspSequence, adapt imports in sequencer.rs to new formatting rules, remove `timeout` argument to harmonize with other commands.] Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Message-ID: <20251114195552.739371-8-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: gsp: Add SetRegistry commandAlistair Popple
Add support for sending the SetRegistry command, which is critical to GSP initialization. The RM registry is serialized into a packed format and sent via the command queue. For now only three parameters which are required to boot GSP are hardcoded. In the future a kernel module parameter will be added to enable other parameters to be added.

2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: gsp: Add GSP command queue bindings and handlingAlistair Popple
This commit introduces core infrastructure for handling GSP command and message queues in the nova-core driver. The command queue system enables bidirectional communication between the host driver and GSP firmware through a remote message passing interface. The interface is based on passing serialised data structures over a ring buffer with separate transmit and receive queues. Commands are sent by writing to the CPU transmit queue and waiting for completion via the receive queue. To ensure safety mutable or immutable (depending on whether it is a send or receive operation) references are taken on the command queue when allocating the message to write/read to. This ensures message memory remains valid and the command queue can't be mutated whilst an operation is in progress. Currently this is only used by the probe() routine and therefore can only used by a single thread of execution. Locking to enable safe access from multiple threads will be introduced in a future series when that becomes necessary.

2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: Add a slice-buffer (sbuffer) datastructureJoel Fernandes
A data structure that can be used to write across multiple slices which may be out of order in memory. This lets SBuffer user correctly and safely write out of memory order, without error-prone tracking of pointers/offsets. let mut buf1 = [0u8; 3]; let mut buf2 = [0u8; 5]; let mut sbuffer = SBuffer::new([&mut buf1[..], &mut buf2[..]]); let data = b"hello"; let result = sbuffer.write(data); Reviewed-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com> Co-developed-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Co-developed-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com> Message-ID: <20251110-gsp_boot-v9-6-8ae4058e3c0e@nvidia.com>
