[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] accel/tcg: Support execution from MMIO and small MMU regions

[Peter Maydell]

This series adds support to TCG for executing from MMIO regions
and small MMU regions. The basic principle is that if get_page_addr_code()
finds that the region is not backed by a full page of RAM then it
returns -1, and tb_gen_code() then generates a non-cached TB
containing a single instruction. Execution from these regions
thus performs the instruction fetch every time, ensuring that we
get the read-from-MMIO and check-small-MMU-region permissions
checks right.

This means that the code path for "generate bus fault for failing
to load an instruction" no longer goes through get_page_addr_code(),
but instead via each target's translate code and its calls to
the cpu_ld*_code() or similar functions. Patch 1 makes sure we
can distinguish insn fetches from data loads when generating the
bus fault exceptions. (Aside: I have assumed that all cpu_ld*_code()
loads should trigger iside faults rather than dside. Hopefully this
is true...)

Patches 2 and 3 make trivial fixes to various callers of
get_page_addr_code(); patch 4 does the work of generating our
single-insn TBs. Patch 5 can then remove all the code that
(mis)handles MMIO regions from get_page_addr_code(). Finally
patch 6 drops the target/arm workarounds for not having support
for executing from small MPU regions.

Note for the Xilinx folks: this patchset makes the mmio-exec
testcase for running from the SPI flash pass. Cedric: you might
like to test the aspeed image you had that relies on execution
from an MMIO region too.

The diffstat is pretty satisfying for a patchset that adds
a feature, but it actually undersells it: this code renders the
hw/misc/mmio_interface.c and the mmio_ptr related code in memory.c
and the xilinx-spips device all obsolete, so there are another
couple of hundred lines of code to be deleted there. I opted not
to include that in this patchset, for ease of review.

NB: I tested this with icount, but there are potentially
some weird things that could happen with interactions between
icount's io-recompile and execution from an MMIO device
that returns different instructions each time it's read.

thanks

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/6] accel/tcg: Pass read access type through to io_readx()

[Peter Maydell]

The io_readx() function needs to know whether the load it is
doing is an MMU_DATA_LOAD or an MMU_INST_FETCH, so that it
can pass the right value to the cpu_transaction_failed()
function. Plumb this information through from the softmmu
code.

This is currently not often going to give the wrong answer,
because usually instruction fetches go via get_page_addr_code().
However once we switch over to handling execution from non-RAM by
creating single-insn TBs, the path for an insn fetch to generate
a bus error will be through cpu_ld*_code() and io_readx(),
so without this change we will generate a d-side fault when we
should generate an i-side fault.

We also have to pass the access type via a CPU struct global
down to unassigned_mem_read(), for the benefit of the targets
which still use the cpu_unassigned_access() hook (m68k, mips,
sparc, xtensa).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/6] accel/tcg: Handle get_page_addr_code() returning -1 in hashtable lookups

[Peter Maydell]

When we support execution from non-RAM MMIO regions, get_page_addr_code()
will return -1 to indicate that there is no RAM at the requested address.
Handle this in the cpu-exec TB hashtable lookup code, treating it as
"no match found".

Note that the call to get_page_addr_code() in tb_lookup_cmp() needs
no changes -- a return of -1 will already correctly result in the
function returning false.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/6] accel/tcg: Handle get_page_addr_code() returning -1 in tb_check_watchpoint()

[Peter Maydell]

When we support execution from non-RAM MMIO regions, get_page_addr_code()
will return -1 to indicate that there is no RAM at the requested address.
Handle this in tb_check_watchpoint() -- if the exception happened for a
PC which doesn't correspond to RAM then there is no need to invalidate
any TBs, because the one-instruction TB will not have been cached.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/6] accel/tcg: tb_gen_code(): Create single-insn TB for execution from non-RAM

[Peter Maydell]

If get_page_addr_code() returns -1, this indicates that there is no RAM
page we can read a full TB from. Instead we must create a TB which
contains a single instruction and which we do not cache, so it is
executed only once.

Since this means we can now have TBs which are not in any page list,
we also need to make tb_phys_invalidate() handle them (by not trying
to remove them from a nonexistent page list).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/6] accel/tcg: Return -1 for execution from MMIO regions in get_page_addr_code()

[Peter Maydell]

Now that all the callers can handle get_page_addr_code() returning -1,
remove all the code which tries to handle execution from MMIO regions
or small-MMU-region RAM areas. This will mean that we can correctly
execute from these areas, rather than ending up either aborting QEMU
or delivering an incorrect guest exception.

 Hi Peter!

Looks like this patch now causes QEMU to segfault instead of printing the
above error message in certain cases, e.g.:

So the crash is an off-by-one on the line above:

I'll note that fprintf at the end of onenand_read should be
qemu_log(LOG_GUEST_ERROR) instead.

Presumably it should be ... 0xbffe, since we are
doing a 16-bit load ?

Yeah, I'll put together a patch which makes it use the qemu_log
facilities rather than fprintf() and hw_error(). With that
plus the case statement fix then QEMU correctly just sits there
as the guest execution races through memory...

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/6] target/arm: Allow execution from small regions

[Peter Maydell]

Now that we have full support for small regions, including execution,
we can remove the workarounds where we marked all small regions as
non-executable for the M-profile MPU and SAU.

I applied and quickly tested your series on a MIPS SoC I'm working on
which has a tiny SRAM:

(qemu) info mtree
address-space: memory
  0000000000000000-ffffffffffffffff (prio 0, i/o): system
    0000000000000000-00000000000007ff (prio 0, ram): sram
    0000000010000000-00000000107fffff (prio 0, i/o): pflash
    0000000014000000-0000000014ffffff (prio 0, ram): dram
    000000001fc00000-000000001fc0ffff (prio 0, rom): srom

The firmware copies the ISR in this SRAM area, sadly it didn't work as
expected:

This firmware works using the "avoid subpages" trick, allocating 4K for
the SRAM (TARGET_PAGE_SIZE).

I didn't look further, maybe I need to figure out how to add a
"target/mips: Allow execution from small regions" too.

Phil.

Are you sure this is executing from the SRAM at this point?
The PC value in the backtrace is 2415932580 == 900034A4. I don't
know how the MMU is configured at this point, but my guess is that
that's actually in the pflash area, and you're running into a
different bug:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-01/msg00674.html
where when we attempt to execute from a romd device that's in romd
mode we incorrectly think it's RAM in get_page_addr_code() and crash.

Previously my view on that had been "yes, it's a bug, but if we
fixed it the only change would be that we'd fall over with
'can't execute from a device' rather than crashing". However
now we can execute from devices fixing the bug is potentially
more useful...

I just sent a follow-on patch which should fix the 'bad ram pointer'
assert. If your guest really is trying to execute from the pflash
here then it will just misbehave in a different way, though,
since pflash status response bytes are probably not valid MIPS
instructions...

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] accel/tcg: Support execution from MMIO and small MMU regions

[KONRAD Frederic]

Hi Peter,

Nice! Thanks for that.

A little question though.. What will happen in the case where the
CPU start executing code at random place because of eg: a badly
configured kernel?

Seeing the patch 5 I guess it will really execute stuff.. So
maybe this is less user-friendly?

Cheers,
Fred

Yes, it's true that we will now happily execute from anything
(device, unassigned memory, etc), and do what the real hardware
would do in that situation (random unhelpful things, infinite
loop of taking exceptions). That's a bit unavoidable though I
think, and there are already lots of cases where QEMU will just
sit there with a black screen because the user has loaded in
a bad guest image that goes off into the weeds without printing
anything to a UART.

It's possible we could devise a user-friendliness option that
tried to pick up symptoms of guests being stuck (eg tracking
whether we're continuously taking exceptions) but that gets
into heuristics a bit.

I have added a memory region alias at 0x0 on the memory region where
the first flash device is mapped and all aspeed machines, palmetto, 
romulus, witherspoon booted fine. 

More or less 4MB of data access is generated and the slowdown is hardly 
noticeable, around one second on a laptop.

I wonder if I should add a bool option to the machine to activate
or not the feature ?

Thanks,

C.

I would tend to go with "not" -- if we need the feature then
it's better to run slowly but correctly, and if we don't need
the feature then it doesn't cost us any speed I think.

I have chosen a brutal activation (for the moment) :

  https://github.com/legoater/qemu/commit/10b08c5e8df385bba342f02fa0440916203b6fa8

I will send when your patchset is committed.

Images used for tests are here :

Hi; this series has been reviewed, and I propose to put it into
my target-arm.for-3.1 queue, unless anybody has a preference for
it going into master via some other route.

thanks
