* [PATCH] riscv: Don't use va_pa_offset on kdump

On kdump instead of using an intermediate step to relocate the kernel, that
lives in a "control buffer" outside the current kernel's mapping, we jump
to the crash kernel directly by calling riscv_kexec_norelocate(). The
current implementation uses va_pa_offset while switching to physical
addressing, however since we moved the kernel outside the linear mapping
this won't work anymore since riscv_kexec_norelocate() is part of the
kernel mapping and we should use kernel_map.va_kernel_pa_offset, and also
take XIP kernel into account.

We don't really need to use va_pa_offset on riscv_kexec_norelocate, we can
just set STVEC to the physical address of the new kernel instead and let
the hart jump to the new kernel on the next instruction after setting
SATP to zero. This fixes kdump and is also simpler/cleaner.

The last jump to a2 can be removed since the fault will be triggered
before even reaching this instruction.

This patch fixes a regression introduced when moving the kernel to the
end of the address space, so we should add:
Fixes: 2bfc6cd81bd1 ("riscv: Move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping")

And it should be backported to 5.13 and 5.14. It seems that the
following tags should be enough:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.13
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.14

Just switching SATP to zero doesn't generate a trap unless mstatus.TVM 
is set (for visualization purposes). The hart will try and execute the 
next instruction but it's not clear in the spec what happens in case the 
code is cached, I don't want to rely solely on STVEC. I prefer having 
this instruction there, note that some earlier QEMU versions also had 
this behavior (the original kdump patch didn't set STVEC and it worked 
fine after setting SATP to zero).

IIRC this came down to some very specific wording in the spec.  
Something along the lines of the 0 in SATP meaning "no translation", 
SFENCE.VMA ordering translations, and the general "if the spec doesn't 
mention it then it has to work" logic.  I thought I opened a spec issue 
about this for clarification, but I can't find it.

That said, I'm perfectly fine taking the safe approach here as it's not 
like the performance matters here.  Warrants a comment, though.

I don't have a v2 in my inbox, did I miss something?  Also, if it's just 
the tags then it's generally not necessary to re-send something.  The 
comment does, though.

LMK if you want me to deal with this, or if there's going to be a v2.

Thanks!

I don't have a v2 in my inbox, did I miss something?  Also, if it's just 
the tags then it's generally not necessary to re-send something.  The 
comment does, though.

LMK if you want me to deal with this, or if there's going to be a v2.

Thanks!

I guess you mean this one:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/issues/538

I couldn't find anything though regarding cached code, it's not that 
there's going to be a load after setting satp to 0 if the code has been 
cached, so even if the translation is cached we don't have a guarantee 
that the next instruction will result a trap.
