Subject: [PATCH -fixes v2 0/3] Fixes for dtb mapping

We used to map the dtb differently between early_pg_dir and
swapper_pg_dir which caused issues when we referenced addresses from
the early mapping with swapper_pg_dir (reserved_mem): move the dtb mapping
to the fixmap region in patch 1, which allows to simplify dtb handling in
patch 2.

base-commit-tag: v6.3-rc3

Changes in v2:
* No functional changes!
* Add RB/TB from Conor in patch 1
* Split patch 2 into 2 separate patches, as suggested by Conor
* Fix the changelog, add Fixes tag, as suggested by Conor

Alexandre Ghiti (3):
riscv: Move early dtb mapping into the fixmap region
riscv: Do not set initial_boot_params to the linear address of the dtb
riscv: No need to relocate the dtb as it lies in the fixmap region

Subject: [PATCH -fixes v2 3/3] riscv: No need to relocate the dtb as it lies in the fixmap region

We used to access the dtb via its linear mapping address but now that the
dtb early mapping was moved in the fixmap region, we can keep using this
address since it is present in swapper_pg_dir, and remove the dtb
relocation.

Note that the relocation was wrong anyway since early_memremap() is
restricted to 256K whereas the maximum fdt size is 2MB.

Subject: [PATCH -fixes v2 2/3] riscv: Do not set initial_boot_params to the linear address of the dtb

early_init_dt_verify() is already called in parse_dtb() and since the dtb
address does not change anymore (it is now in the fixmap region), no need
to reset initial_boot_params by calling early_init_dt_verify() again.

Subject: [PATCH -fixes v2 1/3] riscv: Move early dtb mapping into the fixmap region

riscv establishes 2 virtual mappings:

- early_pg_dir maps the kernel which allows to discover the system
memory
- swapper_pg_dir installs the final mapping (linear mapping included)

We used to map the dtb in early_pg_dir using DTB_EARLY_BASE_VA, and this
mapping was not carried over in swapper_pg_dir. It happens that
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() must be called before swapper_pg_dir is
setup otherwise we could allocate reserved memory defined in the dtb.
And this function initializes reserved_mem variable with addresses that
lie in the early_pg_dir dtb mapping: when those addresses are reused
with swapper_pg_dir, this mapping does not exist and then we trap.

The previous "fix" was incorrect as early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
must be called before swapper_pg_dir is set up otherwise we could
allocate in reserved memory defined in the dtb.

So move the dtb mapping in the fixmap region which is established in
early_pg_dir and handed over to swapper_pg_dir.

Fixes: 922b0375fc93 ("riscv: Fix memblock reservation for device tree blob")
Fixes: 8f3a2b4a96dc ("RISC-V: Move DT mapping outof fixmap")

So, should this be marked as a fix, and backported along with 1/3?

Silly question maybe, but since it isn't explicitly mentioned, the
XIP_FIXUP bits no longer matter?
Also, in related news, I assume you don't have a QEMU setup that can do
boot an XIP kernel?

Cheers,

Hmmm the whole series should be backported, it does not make sense to
move the dtb mapping and keep accessing it using its linear mapping
address since it could fail for the exact reason the relocation was
implemented in the first place and the relocation is wrong.

Maybe we should simply add a "Cc: [email protected]" on all the patches?

The XIP_FIXUP is only needed when translating virtual to physical
addresses, but that does not mean I did not break it, I haven't
considered XIP at all...

I haven't booted a XIP kernel for a long time now, here are my notes
from that time:

Yup, although hopefully Palmer can handle that if nothing else needs
changing.

So, what currently happens is that, during early boot, we call
parse_dtb() right at the beginning of setup_arch().
That calls early_init_dt_scan(dtb_early_pa), which in turn calls
early_init_dt_verify(dtb_early_pa).

Here, relatively late during boot, we are coming along and calling the
function again. This existed prior to the XIP stuff landing, but the
specific XIP_FIXUP handling looks to be the fallout from:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/[email protected]/

The check in the first place was added by Anup's move away from fixmap
for dtb stuff, which makes me wonder - should this actually be part of
1/3? Something, something we no longer need to do this because these
addresses no longer change as per 1/3?

Right, I'll have to get around to trying that. We never put any
investment into QEMU internally, nor run any CI against it, so the HSS
doesn't actually work in QEMU anymore.
Assertion failures due to missing peripheral emulation :(
Probably don't need the HSS though and can do a direct kernel boot, I'll
have to see if that works for this XIP stuff, I know it does for regular
kernels.

Cheers,
Conor.

The bots usually pick it up anyway, but in general I try and put the
stable CC on there when I see stuff go by. I actually missed it this
time until seeing the comment, though...
