[PATCH v10 0/3]

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

Hi,

This new version removed the translate_fn() from patch 1 because it
wasn't removing the sign-extension for pentry as we thought it would.
A more detailed explanation is given in the commit msg of patch 1.

We're now retrieving the 'lowaddr' value from load_elf_ram_sym() and
using it when we're running a 32-bit CPU. This worked with 32 bit
'virt' machine booting with the -kernel option.

If this approach doesn't work for the Xvisor use case, IMO  we should
just filter kernel_load_addr bits directly as we were doing a handful of
versions ago.

Patches are based on current riscv-to-apply.next. 

Changes from v9:
- patch 1:
  - removed the translate_fn() callback
  - return 'kernel_low' when running a 32-bit CPU
- v9 link: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-01/msg04509.html

  hw/riscv: handle 32 bit CPUs kernel_addr in riscv_load_kernel()
  hw/riscv/boot.c: consolidate all kernel init in riscv_load_kernel()
  hw/riscv/boot.c: make riscv_load_initrd() static

[PATCH v10 1/3] hw/riscv: handle 32 bit CPUs kernel_addr in riscv_load_kernel()

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

load_elf_ram_sym() will sign-extend 32 bit addresses. If a 32 bit QEMU
guest happens to be running in a hypervisor that are using 64 bits to
encode its address, kernel_entry can be padded with '1's and create
problems [1].

Using a translate_fn() callback in load_elf_ram_sym() to filter the
padding from the address doesn't work. A more detailed explanation can
be found in [2]. The short version is that glue(load_elf, SZ), from
include/hw/elf_ops.h, will calculate 'pentry' (mapped into the
'kernel_load_base' var in riscv_load_Kernel()) before using
translate_fn(), and will not recalculate it after executing it. This
means that the callback does not prevent the padding from
kernel_load_base to appear.

Let's instead use a kernel_low var to capture the 'lowaddr' value from
load_elf_ram_sim(), and return it when we're dealing with 32 bit CPUs.

[PATCH v10 2/3] hw/riscv/boot.c: consolidate all kernel init in riscv_load_kernel()

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

The microchip_icicle_kit, sifive_u, spike and virt boards are now doing
the same steps when '-kernel' is used:

- execute load_kernel()
- load init_rd()
- write kernel_cmdline

Let's fold everything inside riscv_load_kernel() to avoid code
repetition. To not change the behavior of boards that aren't calling
riscv_load_init(), add an 'load_initrd' flag to riscv_load_kernel() and
allow these boards to opt out from initrd loading.

[PATCH v10 3/3] hw/riscv/boot.c: make riscv_load_initrd() static

[Daniel Henrique Barboza]

The only remaining caller is riscv_load_kernel_and_initrd() which
belongs to the same file.

The openness of a mailing list-centric development is that everybody with
an email address can participate [*1*].

The downside is that *anybody* with *any* mail program can be a reader, so
you cannot assume *anything* about how people will read your mails. Some
will read it in a mail program that color-codes levels of quotation.
Others will not have any color whatsoever. Some thread. Some don't. In
most mail programs, you cannot even search for a Message-ID. Which can be
non-unique.

So the perceived benefits of this way to run a project come at a price.

Thank you,
Johannes

Footnote *1*: Of course, it is not *all* that open. If you cannot convince
your mail program to send mails in plain text only, and to stop
reformatting mails e.g. to make them look better on cell phones (refusing
this is the price of requiring patches to be sent in whitespace-preserving
plain text emails), then you're not invited to the party. This is why I
sometimes say, not altogether without reason, that you can use *any*
mail program to participate in the Git project as long as it is `mutt`.

[Nickolai Belakovski]

Sorry, I'm not very accustomed to mailing list development. I had
assumed that this was being threaded with the other messages in the
series, hence leaving the subject blank and only putting new info in
the body.

In the future I'll add in an appropriate subject and brief re-hash in
the body. Thanks for bringing it up.

Hi,

am I the only person who is puzzled every time this patch series with a
completely empty subject and without any further explanation about the
intent in the mail body is sent?

Testing with GETTEXT_POISON was broken since 6cdccfce (i18n: make
GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option, 2018-11-08), and didn't catch any of
these issues.  See:

  https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqlg0bvppc.fsf_-_@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/T/#u

The fix f88b9cb603 (gettext tests: export the restored
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON, 2019-04-15) was merged to master just last
week.

Change text explaining that --follow-symlinks only works with
--batch{-check,}; now it is presented as a missing feature rather than
a necessary evil.
