This patchset primarily extends initial page table setup using fixmap
to boot Linux RISC-V kernel (64bit and 32bit) from any 4KB aligned address.
We also add 32bit defconfig to allow people to try 32bit Linux RISC-V
kernel as well.
The patchset is based on Linux-5.1-rc2 and tested on SiFive Unleashed
board and QEMU virt machine.
It can also be found in riscv_setup_vm_v3 branch of
https//github.com/avpatel/linux.git
Changes since v2:
- Dropped PATCH2 because we have separate fix for Linux-5.1-rcX
- Moved PATCH5 to PATCH2
- Moved PATCH4 to PATCH3
- The "Booting kernel from any 4KB aligned address" is now PATCH4
Changes since v1:
- Add kconfig option BOOT_PAGE_ALIGNED to enable 4KB aligned booting
- Improved initial page table setup code to select best/biggest
possible mapping size based on load address alignment
- Added PATCH4 to remove redundant trampoline page table
- Added PATCH5 to fix memory reservation in setup_bootmem()
Anup Patel (4):
RISC-V: Add separate defconfig for 32bit systems
RISC-V: Fix memory reservation in setup_bootmem()
RISC-V: Remove redundant trampoline page table
RISC-V: Allow booting kernel from any 4KB aligned address

This patch adds rv32_defconfig for 32bit systems. The only
difference between rv32_defconfig and defconfig is that
rv32_defconfig has CONFIG_ARCH_RV32I=y.

2.17.1
The trampoline page table is redundant because:
1. There is no mapping in trampoling page table which is not covered
by swapper page table.
2. The relocate() in head.S will first load trampoline page table and
after that it will load swapper page table. Same thing can be achieved
by straight away loading swapper page table.
3. The trampoline page table is in init section. The relocate() will
break after trampoline page table has been free'ed by kernel. This
also means runtime HART hotplug will not work correctly due to broken
relocate() after kernel is booted.
Due to above, this patch removes trampoline page table and related code
from kernel/head.S and mm/init.c.

2.17.1
Currently, we have to boot RISCV64 kernel from a 2MB aligned physical
address and RISCV32 kernel from a 4MB aligned physical address. This
constraint is because initial pagetable setup (i.e. setup_vm()) maps
entire RAM using hugepages (i.e. 2MB for 3-level pagetable and 4MB for
2-level pagetable).
Further, the above booting contraint also results in memory wastage
because if we boot kernel from some <xyz> address (which is not same as
RAM start address) then RISCV kernel will map PAGE_OFFSET virtual address
lineraly to <xyz> physical address and memory between RAM start and <xyz>
will be reserved/unusable.
For example, RISCV64 kernel booted from 0x80200000 will waste 2MB of RAM
and RISCV32 kernel booted from 0x80400000 will waste 4MB of RAM.
This patch re-writes the initial pagetable setup code to allow booting
RISV32 and RISCV64 kernel from any 4KB (i.e. PAGE_SIZE) aligned address.
To achieve this:
1. We add kconfig option BOOT_PAGE_ALIGNED. When it is enabled we use
4KB mappings in initial page table setup otherwise we use 2MB/4MB
mappings.
2. We map kernel and dtb (few MBs) in setup_vm() (called from head.S)
3. Once we reach paging_init() (called from setup_arch()) after
memblock setup, we map all available memory banks.
With this patch in-place, the booting constraint for RISCV32 and RISCV64
kernel is much more relaxed when CONFIG_BOOT_PAGE_ALIGNED=y and we can
now boot kernel very close to RAM start thereby minimizng memory wastage.

Currently, the setup_bootmem() reserves memory from RAM start to the
kernel end. This prevents us from exploring ways to use the RAM below
(or before) the kernel start hence this patch updates setup_bootmem()
to only reserve memory from the kernel start to the kernel end.

The old page table setup code does not exist anymore.
It uses new code for 2M mappings as well.
In fact, it will also try to create 1G mappings if possible.
The code is lot better, readable and flexible.

In case you missed my previous response about why its not just
about a very narrow corner case ......
We trying to addresses following issues in current code:
1. The current setup_vm() maps all possible kernel virtual addresses (128GB
on 64bit system and 1GB on 32bit system). The amount RAM present on
real systems might be much less so we should not have kernel mappings for
non-existent RAM. Of course, we don't know amount of RAM available in
setup_vm() so we have to split page table setup in two parts and do minimal
required mapping in setup_vm().
2. NOMMU kernel requires a swapper_pg_dir with identity mapping (VA == PA)
and without it we get boot-time crash so we cannot skip it for NOMMU case. For
NOMMU, the PAGE_OFFSET will typically be 0x80020000 (or 0x80xxxxxx). This
means swapper_pmd array (which uses -PAGE_OFFSET) will be over-sized
causing compile errors.
3. For both NOMMU with tiny memory and MMU with tiny memory, the current
setup_vm() is not allowing us to place kernel on non-2M (or non-4M) aligned
addressed there by causing memory below kernel to be wasted.
4. For MMU based kernel, the current setup_vm() is hard-wired for fixed 2M
mapping size. It will require more changes if we want to do 1G mappings.
The above issues motivated us to re-write setup_vm().
We are trying to make initial page table setup more flexible and robust so that:
1. We don't have any unwanted mappings pointing to non-existent RAM
2. We can have any value of PAGE_OFFSET for NOMMU case without the
page table arrays becoming oversized
3. We can create mappings of best possible size to get good performance
4. We can boot from any 4K/2M/1G (or just 4K) aligned load address
Also, the end result of all this is a much more readable page table setup code
shared between setup_vm() an setup_vm_final() where the differences are
abstracted via mapping ops.

Anup

That seems to be an odd view - yes some code is shared, but we still
have two different ways using ifdefs.

better is in the eye of the beholder. It very much is not easier
readable with the spurious indirect calls at least. And it is a lot
bigger.

Why do you even care about kernel mappings for non-existant ram.

As mentioned a few times - nommu per defintion does not have page
tables, and in my uptodate nommu port none of this code is even compiled
in. If someone still compiles that code in some codebase that is just
a bug that needs to be fixed.
For MMU with tiny memory is is a theoretical case, but I still haven't
seen a good rationale why we'd care for that case.

And why do we care? Even if we come up with a good reason for 1G
mappings we'd better find a way to select it at run time and not require
a gazillion of options to select how to map the kernel.

We care because there will always be some buggy kernel driver/code going
out-of-bound and accessing non-existent RAM. If we by default map all
possible kernel virtual address then behaviour of buggy accesses will be
unpredictable.
Further, I think we should also make .text and .rodata sections of kernel
as read-only. This will protect kernel code and rodata.
Above things add more debugablity to kernel and also help us catch bugs
faster.

Lot of RISC-V systems being built today target resource constraint
use-cases (such as IoT or embedded) where more RAM is more
cost and more power.
It is very useful to have Linux RISC-V run on just few MBs (if possible).

1G mappings will give better performance compared 2M mappings.
This will be very useful for performance hungry system with lot of RAM.
This patch selects 1G or 2M mapping at runtime based on load address
alignment.

All of that is useful at the final_setup_vm() time - but none of it
matters during early setup_vm where life is complicated.
Mike suggested on the previous iteration that you only do smaller
mappings when setting up the final mapping to avoid the ops churn,
and I fully agree with him.
So I would suggest we avoid complicated the fiddly early boot changes
that just add complxity, and you instead redirect your efforts to
say implemented proper ro and non-executable sections using 4k mappings
in the final VM setup only. That should actuall lead to less code
and complexity, and provide more benefits.

It might be worth keeping trampoline_pg_dir if we are to split setup_vm().
Then setup_vm() will only initialize the trampoline_pg_dir and
final_setup_vm() will setup the swapper_pg_dir and switch to it.
Otherwise final_setup_vm() would need to update live mappings which might
be fragile.

We finally know the purpose trampoline_pg_dir page table.
The trampoline_pg_dir is suppose to contain only one 2M/4M mapping
to handle case where PAGE_OFFSET < load_address.
For 64bit systems, the PAGE_OFFSET is very high value typically
0xFFFFxxxxxxxxxxxx compared to RAM start 0x80000000. It is very
unlikely that we will have enormous RAM ending somewhere
0xFFFFxxxxxxxxxxxx.
For 32bit systems, it is quite possible that bootloader loads kernel at
load_address > 0x80000000. Let say PAGE_OFFSET = 0xC0000000
and load_address = 0xC0100000. Now the instruction which enables
MMU will be 0xC0100xxx and after enabling it will try to fetch next
instruction 0xC0100xxx + 4 but 0xC0100000 maps to 0xC0200000
as load_address > PAGE_OFFSET hence we will see wrong instruction
after enabling MMU.
(Note: Above explanation was provided by Anthony)
I guess we will have to keep both trampoline_pg_dir and swapper_pg_dir
init in setup_vm() because trampoline_pg_dir will only contain just
one 2M/4M mapping.

I think we should go ahead with your suggestion but with additional
constraint as follows:
1. The setup_vm() will map only vmlinux_start to vmlinux_end and
FDT for early mapping in trampoline_pg_dir
2. The setup_vm() will hit BUG_ON() if load_address is between
vmlinux_start and vmlinux_end.
3. The setup_vm_final() will create swapper_pg_dir from scratch
to avoid updating live mappings
The point2 above essentially means that on 32bit/64bit systems
the bootloader cannot load kernel in physical address range
PAGE_OFFSET to PAGE_OFFSET + (vmlinux_size) even if
it is a valid RAM physical address range.
Suggestions??

If your goal is to be able to boot from any 4k-aligned address, then
disallowing boots between PAGE_OFFSET and PAGE_OFSSET + vmlinux_size
seems counterproductive, since there are a lot of 4k-aligned addresses
in that range that are now disallowed. (And worse, the specific range
of disallowed addresses now depends on how large the kernel is, which
makes things awkward. What happens if someone downloads a kernel update
that increases the size of vmlinux to a point where their boot loader
configuration is no longer valid? That would be crazy.)
Note that in order to boot from any 4k-aligned address, you will need
set up trampoline_pg_dir to map a single 4k page. The rule is that the
trampoline page tables can map a single page of whatever size you're
working with, and that page needs to be mapped to the same virtual
address that it will have in the final swapper_pg_dir table. Since
swapper_pg_dir cannot use hugepages, trampoline_pg_dir cannot use a
hugepage either.
But that also means you can't do very much work between enabling the
trampoline page tables and switching over to swapper_pg_dir, because
during that period of time only 4k of memory is mapped. You can't call
any functions that live outside those four kilobytes, nor can you
modify any page tables (because the single page you have must cover the
code in _start, so it can't point to any memory that includes page
tables). So you need to set up both the trampoline and swapper page
tables before enabling either of them. The only complexity you can
postpone by splitting up setup_vm is the initialization of the fixmap
tables.
That said: I think that booting from 4k-aligned addresses is probably
still a pretty simple change, though I *also* have doubts about whether
it is worthwhile.
Why is it simple? Because all you have to do is add one extra level to
each of the trampoline and swapper page tables, and both of these
tables have simple structures. The code proposed in the latest draft
is complicated because the function calls have so many layers of
indirection and not enough attention is paid to using the contiguity
of the page tables to reduce work. But that's accidental complexity;
a more careful implementation would be a lot shorter.
Why is it irrelevant? Because a memory-constrained kernel will want to
drop its .init segment after booting, but the memory that this frees up
will all be at the beginning of the kernel image (and not at the end).
Let's be concrete and talk about the HiFive Unleashed board, on which
RAM starts at address 0x80000000. But the problem is that the Berkeley
Boot Loader gets loaded to 0x80000000, so it has to load the Linux
kernel to the next hugepage, at 0x80200000. Now, if you're short on RAM
you will want your kernel to drop its .init segment, which occupies the
first megabyte (?) of kernel space. (I don't know how large the .init
segment is, but I *do* know from the linker script that it's at the
beginning of memory. Let's call it a megabyte.) So Linux releases its
first megabyte of memory to applications, and now the kernel itself
starts somewhere around 0x8030000.
How is the kernel going to make use of the freed-up space between
0x80200000 and 0x8030000? That's a vm-system problem: somewhere in the
virtual memory code there will be data structures and algorithms that
are smart enough to make use of both the space *before* the kernel
image (i.e. before 0x80300000) and the space *after* the kernel (i.e.
all the space from 0x80200000 to 0x8020000 + vmlinux_size). Surely this
code already exists, because some architectures *do* drop their .init
sections after boot.
But, now, if the virtual memory system is already smart enough to make
use of physical memory that is located before the kernel image, then
there's no harm in booting at 0x80200000 because the virtual memory
system can figure out how to use the gap between the end of the boot
loader and the start of the kernel image. This is true whether the
kernel chooses to drop its .init segment or not, because the point is
that the Linux kernel virtual memory data management system is already
designed to make use of free space from before the kernel image.
So the best way to reclaim wasted space before 0x80200000 is probably
going to be to make your boot loader tell the kernel (via the device
tree) how much space is available between boot_loader_end and
vmlinux_start, and to make sure that this space gets used by the
virtual memory framework.
I'm sorry my email is so long, but I've found that long emails lead to
less confusion than short ones.

I've already merged your first patch for 5.1, but I'm going through and
collecting 5.2 patches now and it appears this has a conflict. Do you mind
re-submitting the patch set against rc6?
