Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] remoteproc: imx_rproc: set pc on start

In case elf file interrupt vector is not supposed to be at OCRAM_S,
it is needed to write elf entry point to OCRAM_S + 0x4, to boot M4
firmware.

Otherwise firmware located anywhere besides OCRAM_S won't boot.

The firmware must set stack poiner as first instruction:

Reset_Handler:
ldr sp, = __stack /* set stack pointer */

The address in the SoB has to match what is found in the "From:" field of the
email header. Checkpatch is complaining about that, something I would have
expected to be fixed before sending this set out.

What happens on all the other IMX systems where this fix is not needed? Will
they continue to work properly?

How is this useful? Sure it will set rproc->bootaddr in rproc_fw_boot() but
what good does that do when it is invariably set again in imx_rproc_start() ?

Mathieu you are totally correct imx6/imx7 use different addresses they
boot.

For imx7:
| On i.MX 7Dual/7Solo, the boot vector for the Cortex-M4 core is located
| at the start of the OCRAM_S (On Chip RAM - Secure) whose address is
| 0x0018_0000 from Cortex-A7.

For imx6:
| The Boot vector for the Cortex-M4 core is located at the start of the
| TCM_L whose address is 0x007F_8000 from the Cortex-A9. This is a
| different location than on the i.MX 7Dual/7Solo

But on imx7 0x0 is translated to 0x0018_0000 by imx_rproc_da_to_va, and
on imx7 0x0 is translated to 0x007F_8000, using imx_rproc_att_imx7d and
imx_rproc_att_imx6sx respectively.

I have no information about IMX8 (i have found none available
publicity), but should be the same as Cortex-M boots from 0x0.

My point here is that before your patch, this driver was running on
IMX platforms. How does your work impact existing platforms that are
booting properly?

Well it wasn't i am pretty sure it wasn't used at all or questions
about boot process should have to be raised earlier.

If we look into the first patch introduced by Oleksij Rempel
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/cover/799614/
we can that the program he used is located at 0x0018_0000 so he didn't
have any problems with Entry Point and stack pointer being at
0x0018_0000 and 0x0018_0004 respectively.

But as i am trying to emphasize, IF elf is not supposed to be located
starting at 0x0018_0000 it won't boot at all.

Citing Oleksij:

| no, currently my priority is to provide basic functionality with easy
| understandable target code and dependencies.

Moreover it seems not tested on IMX6 by anyone.

I can limit functionality only to IMX7, until i lay hands on IMX6
with m4 co-proc - is this is what desired ?

What is your reason to set ops->get_boot_addr ? How does that help
the work done in this patch?

The reason is the following :

remoteproc_core.c:
| rproc_fw_boot(struct rproc *rproc, const struct firmware *fw)
| rproc->bootaddr = rproc_get_boot_addr(rproc, fw);

remoteproc_internal.h
| static inline
| u32 rproc_get_boot_addr(struct rproc *rproc, const struct firmware
*fw) | {
| if (rproc->ops->get_boot_addr)
| return rproc->ops->get_boot_addr(rproc, fw);
|
| return 0;
| }

And as I said above the value of rproc->bootaddr is set to
priv->bootreg in imx_rproc_stop(). What am I missing? More over
imx_rproc_ops doesn't have a ->load() function and as such rproc_alloc
will set it to rproc_elf_get_boot_addr()
