2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: gsp: Boot GSPAlistair Popple
Boot the GSP to the RISC-V active state. Completing the boot requires running the CPU sequencer which will be added in a future commit.

2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: gsp: Create wpr metadataAlistair Popple
The GSP requires some pieces of metadata to boot. These are passed in a struct which the GSP transfers via DMA. Create this struct and get a handle to it for future use when booting the GSP.

2025-11-14gpu: nova-core: compute layout of more framebuffer regions required for GSPAlexandre Courbot
Compute more of the required FB layout information to boot the GSP firmware. This information is dependent on the firmware itself, so first we need to import and abstract the required firmware bindings in the `nvfw` module. Then, a new FB HAL method is introduced in `fb::hal` that uses these bindings and hardware information to compute the correct layout information. This information is then used in `fb` and the result made visible in `FbLayout`. These 3 things are grouped into the same patch to avoid lots of unused warnings that would be tedious to work around. As they happen in different files, they should not be too difficult to track separately.

2025-11-08gpu: nova-core: replace use of `as` with functions from `num`Alexandre Courbot
Use the newly-introduced `num` module to replace the use of `as` wherever it is safe to do. This ensures that a given conversion cannot lose data if its source or destination type ever changes.

This patch solves one of the existing mentions of COHA, a task in the Nova task list about improving the `CoherentAllocation` API. It uses the new `from_bytes` method from the `FromBytes` trait as well as the `as_slice` and `as_slice_mut` methods from `CoherentAllocation`.

2025-11-04gpu: nova-core: use `try_from` instead of `as` for u32 conversionsAlexandre Courbot
There are a few situations in the driver where we convert a `usize` into a `u32` using `as`. Even though most of these are obviously correct, use `try_from` and let the compiler optimize wherever it is safe to do so.

2025-10-30gpu: nova-core: replace `as` with `from` conversions where possibleAlexandre Courbot
The `as` operator is best avoided as it silently drops bits if the destination type is smaller that the source. For data types where this is clearly not the case, use `from` to unambiguously signal that these conversions are lossless.

2025-09-13gpu: nova-core: firmware: process the GSP bootloaderAlexandre Courbot
The GSP bootloader is a small RISC-V firmware that is loaded by Booter onto the GSP core and is in charge of loading, validating, and starting the actual GSP firmware. It is a regular binary firmware file containing a specific header. Create a type holding the DMA-mapped firmware as well as useful information extracted from the header, and hook it into our firmware structure for later use. The GSP bootloader is stored into the `GspFirmware` structure, since it is part of the GSP firmware package. This makes the `Firmware` structure empty, so remove it.

2025-09-13gpu: nova-core: firmware: process and prepare the GSP firmwareAlexandre Courbot
The GSP firmware is a binary blob that is verified, loaded, and run by the GSP bootloader. Its presentation is a bit peculiar as the GSP bootloader expects to be given a DMA address to a 3-levels page table mapping the GSP firmware at address 0 of its own address space. Prepare such a structure containing the DMA-mapped firmware as well as the DMA-mapped page tables, and a way to obtain the DMA handle of the level 0 page table. Then, move the GSP firmware instance from the `Firmware` struct to the `start_gsp` method since it doesn't need to be kept after the GSP is booted. As we are performing the required ELF section parsing and radix3 page table building, remove these items from the TODO file.

2025-09-13gpu: nova-core: firmware: process Booter and patch its signatureAlexandre Courbot
The Booter signed firmware is an essential part of bringing up the GSP on Turing and Ampere. It is loaded on the sec2 falcon core and is responsible for loading and running the RISC-V GSP bootloader into the GSP core. Add support for parsing the Booter firmware loaded from userspace, patch its signatures, and store it into a form that is ready to be loaded and executed on the sec2 falcon. Then, move the Booter instance from the `Firmware` struct to the `start_gsp` method since it doesn't need to be kept after the GSP is booted. We do not run Booter yet, as its own payload (the GSP bootloader and firmware image) still need to be prepared.

2025-08-22gpu: nova-core: falcon: align DMA transfers to 256 bytesAlexandre Courbot
Falcon DMA transfers are done in 256 bytes increments, and the method responsible for initiating the transfer checked that the required length was indeed a multiple of 256. While correct, this also requires callers to specifically account for this limitation of DMA transfers, and we had for instance the fwsec code performing a seemingly arbitrary (and potentially overflowing) upwards alignment of the DMEM load size to match this requirement. Let's move that alignment into the loading code itself instead: since it is working in terms of number of transfers, we can turn this upwards alignment into a non-overflowing operation, and check that the requested transfer remains into the limits of the DMA object. This also allows us to remove a DMA-specific constant in the fwsec code.

2025-06-23gpu: nova-core: update and annotate TODO listAlexandre Courbot
A few new dependencies are required to remove some of the TODO items: - A way to safely convert from byte slices to types implementing `FromBytes`, - A way to obtain slices and write into a `CoherentAllocation`, - Several improvements to the `register!()` macro, - Alignment operations to powers of two, and an equivalent to the C `fls`, - Support for `xa_alloc` in the XAlloc bindings. Some items have also become obsolete: - The auxiliary bus abstractions have been implemented and are in use, - The ELF utilities are not considered for being part of the core kernel bindings anymore. - VBIOS, falcon and GPU timer have been completed. We now have quite a few TODO entries in the code, so annotate them with a 4 letter code representing the corresponding task in `todo.rst`. This allows to easily find which part of the code corresponds to a given entry (and conversely).
