Subject: [PATCH v7] RISC-V: enable XIP

From: Vitaly Wool <[email protected]>

Introduce XIP (eXecute In Place) support for RISC-V platforms.
It allows code to be executed directly from non-volatile storage
directly addressable by the CPU, such as QSPI NOR flash which can
be found on many RISC-V platforms. This makes way for significant
optimization of RAM footprint. The XIP kernel is not compressed
since it has to run directly from flash, so it will occupy more
space on the non-volatile storage. The physical flash address used
to link the kernel object files and for storing it has to be known
at compile time and is represented by a Kconfig option.

XIP on RISC-V will for the time being only work on MMU-enabled
kernels.

Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti <[email protected]> [ Rebase on top of "Move
kernel mapping outside the linear mapping ]
Signed-off-by: Vitaly Wool <[email protected]>
---

Changes in v2:
- dedicated macro for XIP address fixup when MMU is not enabled yet
o both for 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V
- SP is explicitly set to a safe place in RAM before __copy_data call
- removed redundant alignment requirements in vmlinux-xip.lds.S
- changed long -> uintptr_t typecast in __XIP_FIXUP macro.
Changes in v3:
- rebased against latest for-next
- XIP address fixup macro now takes an argument
- SMP related fixes
Changes in v4:
- rebased against the current for-next
- less #ifdef's in C/ASM code
- dedicated XIP_FIXUP_OFFSET assembler macro in head.S
- C-specific definitions moved into #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
- Fixed multi-core boot
Changes in v5:
- fixed build error for non-XIP kernels
Changes in v6:
- XIP_PHYS_RAM_BASE config option renamed to PHYS_RAM_BASE
- added PHYS_RAM_BASE_FIXED config flag to allow usage of
PHYS_RAM_BASE in non-XIP configurations if needed
- XIP_FIXUP macro rewritten with a tempoarary variable to avoid side
effects
- fixed crash for non-XIP kernels that don't use built-in DTB
Changes in v7:
- Fix pfn_base that required FIXUP
- Fix copy_data which lacked + 1 in size to copy
- Fix pfn_valid for FLATMEM
- Rebased on top of "Move kernel mapping outside the linear mapping":
this is the biggest change and affected mm/init.c,
kernel/vmlinux-xip.lds.S and include/asm/pgtable.h: XIP kernel is now
mapped like 'normal' kernel at the end of the address space.

+ Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage

+ space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
+ to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
+ are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
+ it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
+ store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
+ and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
+ say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
+ store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.

I added linux-mm and linux-arch to get feedbacks because I noticed that
DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE fails for SPARSEMEM (it works for FLATMEM but I think
it does not do what is expected): the fact that we don't have any struct
page to back the text and rodata in flash is the problem but to which
extent ?

Thanks,

Alex

Just wondering, why can't we create a memmap for that memory -- or is it
even desireable to not do that explicity? There might be some nasty side
effects when not having a memmap for text and rodata.

I would assume stimply exposing the physical memory range to memblock as
RAM and marking it reserved would create a memmap that's fully
initialized like any bootmem (PG_reserved).

Or is there a reason why we cannot do that?

Also, will that memory properly be exposed in the resource tree as
System RAM (e.g., /proc/iomem) ? Otherwise some things (/proc/kcore)
won't work as expected - the kernel won't be included in a dump.

>> - XIP address fixup macro now takes an argument
>> - SMP related fixes
>> Changes in v4:
>> - rebased against the current for-next
>> - less #ifdef's in C/ASM code
>> - dedicated XIP_FIXUP_OFFSET assembler macro in head.S
>> - C-specific definitions moved into #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
>> - Fixed multi-core boot
>> Changes in v5:
>> - fixed build error for non-XIP kernels
>> Changes in v6:
>> - XIP_PHYS_RAM_BASE config option renamed to PHYS_RAM_BASE
>> - added PHYS_RAM_BASE_FIXED config flag to allow usage of
>> PHYS_RAM_BASE in non-XIP configurations if needed
>> - XIP_FIXUP macro rewritten with a tempoarary variable to avoid side
>> effects
>> - fixed crash for non-XIP kernels that don't use built-in DTB
>> Changes in v7:
>> - Fix pfn_base that required FIXUP
>> - Fix copy_data which lacked + 1 in size to copy
>> - Fix pfn_valid for FLATMEM
>> - Rebased on top of "Move kernel mapping outside the linear mapping":
>> this is the biggest change and affected mm/init.c,
>> kernel/vmlinux-xip.lds.S and include/asm/pgtable.h: XIP kernel is now
>> mapped like 'normal' kernel at the end of the address space.

Do you have examples of such effects ? Any feature that will not work
without that ?

I did not want to do that if it was not needed as the overall goal of
XIP kernel is to save RAM (I may be cheap but 16MB backed by struct page
represents ~220KB).

I have just checked and it does not appear in /proc/iomem.

Ok your conclusion would be to have struct page, I'm going to implement
this version then using memblock as you described.

Thanks David,

At least if it's not part of /proc/iomem in any way (maybe "System RAM"
is not what we want without a memmap, TBD), kexec-tools won't be able to
handle it properly e.g., for kdump. But not sure if that is really
relevant in your setup.

Regarding other features, anything that does a pfn_valid(),
pfn_to_page() or pfn_to_online_page() would behave differently now --
assuming the kernel doesn't fall into a section with other System RAM
(whereby we would still allocate the memmap for the whole section).

I guess you might stumble over some surprises in some code paths, but
nothing really comes to mind. Not sure if your zeropage is part of the
kernel image on RISC-V (I remember that we sometimes need a memmap
there, but I might be wrong)?

I assume you still somehow create the direct mapping for the kernel,
right? So it's really some memory region with a direct mapping but
without a memmap (and right now, without a resource), correct?

Let's first evaluate what the harm could be. You could (and should?)
create the kernel resource manually - IIRC, that's independent of the
memmap/memblock thing.

@Mike, what's your take on not having a memmap for kernel text and ro data?

Do we really need a XIP kernel to included in kdump?
And does not it sound weird to expose flash as System RAM in /proc/iomem? ;-)

I'm not sure this is required. With XIP kernel text never gets into RAM, so
it does not seem to require struct page.

XIP by definition has some limitations relatively to "normal" operation,
so lack of kdump could be one of them.

I might be wrong, but IMHO, artificially creating a memory map for part of
flash would cause more problems in the long run.

BTW, how does XIP account the kernel text on other architectures that
implement it?

Interesting point, I thought XIP would be something new on RISC-V (well,
at least to me :) ). If that concept exists already, we better mimic
what existing implementations do.

It is in the kernel image and is located in bss which will be in RAM and
then be backed by a memmap.

No I don't create any direct mapping for the text and the rodata.

Nothing particular, just a gut feeling. Usually, when you force something

I had quick glance at ARM, it seems that kernel text does not have memory
map and does not show up in System RAM.

XIP kernel text is not a region in memory to begin with ;-)

It resides in a flash and it is executed directly from there without being
relocated to RAM.

That's why it does not need neither direct mapping, nor struct pages.

I think that's the part that confused me. I thought it would be mapped
somehow into physical address space and would be addressed like other
memory -- just that reads would be rewired to go to flash.

It's possible still that MTD_XIP is implemented allowing to write to
the flash used for XIP. While flash is being written, memory map
doesn't make sense at all. I can't come up with a real life example
when it can actually lead to problems but it is indeed weird when
System RAM suddenly becomes unreadable. I really don't think exposing
it in /proc/iomem is a good idea.

Exactly, and I believe ARM64 won't do that too when it gets its own
XIP support (which is underway).

memmap does not seem necessary and ARM/ARM64 do not use it.

But if someone tries to get a struct page from a physical address that
lies in flash, as mentioned by David, that could lead to silent
corruptions if something exists at the address where the struct page
should be. And it is hard to know which features in the kernel depends
on that.

Regarding SPARSEMEM, the vmemmap lies in its own region so that's
unlikely to happen, so we will catch those invalid accesses (and that's
what I observed on riscv).

But for FLATMEM, memmap is in the linear mapping, then that could very
likely happen silently.

Could a simple solution be to force SPARSEMEM for those XIP kernels ?
Then wrong things could happen, but we would see those and avoid
spending hours to debug :)

I will at least send a v8 to remove the pfn_valid modifications for
FLATMEM that now returns true to pfn in flash.

Thanks,

That sounds good to me. I am not very keen on spending 200K on struct
pages for flash (we can think of this as of an option but I would
definitely like to have the option to compile it out in the end), so
let's remove pfn_valid and fix things that will eventually break, if
some.
