+Guidelines
+==========
+
+This documents contains the guidelines for nova-core. Additionally, all common
+guidelines of the Nova project do apply.
+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+One main purpose of nova-core is to implement the abstraction around the
+firmware interface of GSP and provide a firmware (version) independent API for
+2nd level drivers, such as nova-drm or the vGPU manager VFIO driver.
+
+Therefore, it is not permitted to leak firmware (version) specifics, through the
+driver API, to 2nd level drivers.
+
+Acceptance Criteria
+===================
+
+- To the extend possible, patches submitted to nova-core must be tested for
+  regressions with all 2nd level drivers.

+Task List
+=========
+
+Tasks may have the following fields:
+
+- ``Complexity``: Describes the required familiarity with Rust and / or the
+  corresponding kernel APIs or subsystems. There are four different complexities,
+  ``Beginner``, ``Intermediate``, ``Advanced`` and ``Expert``.
+- ``Reference``: References to other tasks.
+- ``Link``: Links to external resources.
+- ``Contact``: The person that can be contacted for further information about
+  the task.
+
+Enablement (Rust)
+=================
+
+Tasks that are not directly related to nova-core, but are preconditions in terms
+of required APIs.
+
+FromPrimitive API
+-----------------
+
+Sometimes the need arises to convert a number to a value of an enum or a
+structure.
+
+A good example from nova-core would be the ``Chipset`` enum type, which defines
+the value ``AD102``. When probing the GPU the value ``0x192`` can be read from a
+certain register indication the chipset AD102. Hence, the enum value ``AD102``
+should be derived from the number ``0x192``. Currently, nova-core uses a custom
+implementation (``Chipset::from_u32`` for this.
+
+Instead, it would be desirable to have something like the ``FromPrimitive``
+trait [1] from the num crate.
+
+Having this generalization also helps with implementing a generic macro that
+automatically generates the corresponding mappings between a value and a number.
+
+| Complexity: Beginner
+| Link: https://docs.rs/num/latest/num/trait.FromPrimitive.html
+
+Generic register abstraction
+----------------------------
+
+Work out how register constants and structures can be automatically generated
+through generalized macros.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	register!(BOOT0, 0x0, u32, pci::Bar<SIZE>, Fields [
+	   MINOR_REVISION(3:0, RO),
+	   MAJOR_REVISION(7:4, RO),
+	   REVISION(7:0, RO), // Virtual register combining major and minor rev.
+	])
+
+This could expand to something like:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	const BOOT0_OFFSET: usize = 0x00000000;
+	const BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_SHIFT: u8 = 0;
+	const BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_MASK: u32 = 0x0000000f;
+	const BOOT0_MAJOR_REVISION_SHIFT: u8 = 4;
+	const BOOT0_MAJOR_REVISION_MASK: u32 = 0x000000f0;
+	const BOOT0_REVISION_SHIFT: u8 = BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_SHIFT;
+	const BOOT0_REVISION_MASK: u32 = BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_MASK | BOOT0_MAJOR_REVISION_MASK;
+
+	struct Boot0(u32);
+
+	impl Boot0 {
+	   #[inline]
+	   fn read(bar: &RevocableGuard<'_, pci::Bar<SIZE>>) -> Self {
+	      Self(bar.readl(BOOT0_OFFSET))
+	   }
+
+	   #[inline]
+	   fn minor_revision(&self) -> u32 {
+	      (self.0 & BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_MASK) >> BOOT0_MINOR_REVISION_SHIFT
+	   }
+
+	   #[inline]
+	   fn major_revision(&self) -> u32 {
+	      (self.0 & BOOT0_MAJOR_REVISION_MASK) >> BOOT0_MAJOR_REVISION_SHIFT
+	   }
+
+	   #[inline]
+	   fn revision(&self) -> u32 {
+	      (self.0 & BOOT0_REVISION_MASK) >> BOOT0_REVISION_SHIFT
+	   }
+	}
+
+Usage:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	let bar = bar.try_access().ok_or(ENXIO)?;
+
+	let boot0 = Boot0::read(&bar);
+	pr_info!("Revision: {}\n", boot0.revision());

+GPU System Processor (GSP)
+==========================
+
+Export GSP log buffers
+----------------------
+
+Recent patches from Timur Tabi [1] added support to expose GSP-RM log buffers
+(even after failure to probe the driver) through debugfs.
+
+This is also an interesting feature for nova-core, especially in the early days.
+
+| Link: https://lore.kernel.org/nouveau/20241030202952.694055-2-ttabi@nvidia.com/ [1]
+| Reference: Debugfs abstractions
+| Complexity: Intermediate
+
+GSP firmware abstraction
+------------------------
+
+The GSP-RM firmware API is unstable and may incompatibly change from version to
+version, in terms of data structures and semantics.
+
+This problem is one of the big motivations for using Rust for nova-core, since
+it turns out that Rust's procedural macro feature provides a rather elegant way
+to address this issue:
+
+1. generate Rust structures from the C headers in a separate namespace per version
+2. build abstraction structures (within a generic namespace) that implement the
+   firmware interfaces; annotate the differences in implementation with version
+   identifiers
+3. use a procedural macro to generate the actual per version implementation out
+   of this abstraction
+4. instantiate the correct version type one on runtime (can be sure that all
+   have the same interface because it's defined by a common trait)
+
+There is a PoC implementation of this pattern, in the context of the nova-core
+PoC driver.
+
+This task aims at refining the feature and ideally generalize it, to be usable
+by other drivers as well.
+
+| Complexity: Expert
+
+GSP message queue
+-----------------
+
+Implement low level GSP message queue (command, status) for communication
+between the kernel driver and GSP.
+
+| Complexity: Advanced
+| Contact: Dave Airlie
+
+Bootstrap GSP
+-------------
+
+Call the boot firmware to boot the GSP processor; execute initial control
+messages.
+
+| Complexity: Intermediate
+| Contact: Dave Airlie
+
+Client / Device APIs
+--------------------
+
+Implement the GSP message interface for client / device allocation and the
+corresponding client and device allocation APIs.
+
+| Complexity: Intermediate
+| Contact: Dave Airlie
+
+Bar PDE handling
+----------------
+
+Synchronize page table handling for BARs between the kernel driver and GSP.
+
+| Complexity: Beginner
+| Contact: Dave Airlie
+
+FIFO engine
+-----------
+
+Implement support for the FIFO engine, i.e. the corresponding GSP message
+interface and provide an API for chid allocation and channel handling.
+
+| Complexity: Advanced
+| Contact: Dave Airlie
+
+GR engine
+---------

+External APIs
+=============
+
+nova-core base API
+------------------
+
+Work out the common pieces of the API to connect 2nd level drivers, i.e. vGPU
+manager and nova-drm.
+
+| Complexity: Advanced
+
+vGPU manager API
+----------------
+
+Work out the API parts required by the vGPU manager, which are not covered by
+the base API.
+
+| Complexity: Advanced
+
+nova-core C API
+---------------
+
+Implement a C wrapper for the APIs required by the vGPU manager driver.
+
+| Complexity: Intermediate
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+CI pipeline
+-----------
+
+Investigate option for continuous integration testing.
+
+This can go from as simple as running KUnit tests over running (graphics) CTS to
+booting up (multiple) guest VMs to test VFIO use-cases.
+
+It might also be worth to consider the introduction of a new test suite directly
+sitting on top of the uAPI for more targeted testing and debugging. There may be
+options for collaboration / shared code with the Mesa project.

+Guidelines
+==========
+
+This document describes the general project guidelines that apply to nova-core
+and nova-drm.
+
+Language
+========
+
+The Nova project uses the Rust programming language. In this context, all rules
+of the Rust for Linux project as documented in
+:doc:`../../rust/general-information` apply. Additionally, the following rules
+apply.
+
+- Unless technically necessary otherwise (e.g. uAPI), any driver code is written
+  in Rust.
+
+- Unless technically necessary, unsafe Rust code must be avoided. In case of
+  technical necessity, unsafe code should be isolated in a separate component
+  providing a safe API for other driver code to use.
+
+Style
+-----
+
+All rules of the Rust for Linux project as documented in
+:doc:`../../rust/coding-guidelines` apply.
+
+For a submit checklist, please also see the `Rust for Linux Submit checklist
+addendum <https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing#submit-checklist-addendum>`_.
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+The availability of proper documentation is essential in terms of scalability,
+accessibility for new contributors and maintainability of a project in general,
+but especially for a driver running as complex hardware as Nova is targeting.
+
+Hence, adding documentation of any kind is very much encouraged by the project.
+
+Besides that, there are some minimum requirements.
+
+- Every non-private structure needs at least a brief doc comment explaining the
+  semantical sense of the structure, as well as potential locking and lifetime
+  requirements. It is encouraged to have the same minimum documentation for
+  non-trivial private structures.
+
+- uAPIs must be fully documented with kernel-doc comments; additionally, the
+  semantical behavior must be explained including potential special or corner
+  cases.
+
+- The APIs connecting the 1st level driver (nova-core) with 2nd level drivers
+  must be fully documented. This includes doc comments, potential locking and
+  lifetime requirements, as well as example code if applicable.
+
+- Abbreviations must be explained when introduced; terminology must be uniquely
+  defined.
+
+- Register addresses, layouts, shift values and masks must be defined properly;
+  unless obvious, the semantical sense must be documented. This only applies if
+  the author is able to obtain the corresponding information.
+
+Acceptance Criteria
+===================
+
+- Patches must only be applied if reviewed by at least one other person on the
+  mailing list; this also applies for maintainers.
