[PATCH 0/2] make kexec work with efi=noruntime or efi=old_map

[Kairui Song]

This patch series fix the kexec panic on efi=noruntime or efi=old_map
and leverage acpi_rsdp_addr to make the second kernel boot up properly.

[PATCH v2 1/2] x86, kexec_file_load: Don't setup EFI info if EFI runtime is not enabled

[Kairui Song]

Currently with "efi=noruntime" in kernel command line, calling
kexec_file_load will raise below problem:

[   97.967067] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

When efi runtime is not enabled, efi memmap is not mapped, so just skip
EFI info setup.

[PATCH v2 2/2] x86, kexec_file_load: make it work with efi=noruntime or efi=old_map

[Kairui Song]

When efi=noruntime or efi=oldmap is used, EFI services won't be available
in the second kernel, therefore the second kernel will not be able to get
the ACPI RSDP address from firmware by calling EFI services and won't
boot. Previously we are expecting the user to set the acpi_rsdp=<addr>
on kernel command line for second kernel as there was no way to pass RSDP
address to second kernel.

After commit e6e094e053af ('x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address from
boot params if available'), now it's possible to set an acpi_rsdp_addr
parameter in the boot_params passed to second kernel, this commit make
use of it, detect and set the RSDP address when it's required for second
kernel to boot.

Tested with an EFI enabled KVM VM with efi=noruntime.

Amazing the amount of ACPI RDSP parsing and fiddling patches flying
around these days...

In any case, this needs to be synchronized with:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190107032243.25324-1-fanc.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com

and checked whether the above can be used instead of sprinkling of ACPI
parsing code left and right.

Thx.

Both Baoquan and Chao are cced for comments.
The above KASLR patches seems some early code to parsing acpi, but I think in this
patch just call acpi function to get the root pointer no need to add the
duplicate logic of if/else/else if. 

Kairui,  do you have any reason for the checking?  Is there some simple
acpi function to just return the root pointer?

Hi, I'm afraid that would require moving multiple structure and
function out of .init,
acpi_os_get_root_pointer is an ideal function to do the job, but it's
in .init and (on x86) it will call x86_init.acpi.get_root_pointer (by
calling acpi_arch_get_root_pointer) which will also be freed after
init, unless I change the x86_init, move they out of .init which is
not a good idea.

Maybe I could split acpi_os_get_root_pointer into two, one gets freed
after init, one for later use. But the "acpi_rsdp_addr" trick only
works for x86, and this would change more common acpi driver code so
not sure if a good idea.

Can the acpi root pointer be saved after initialized? If that is good
then a new function to get it would be easier. But need opinion from
acpi people.

Hi thanks for the suggestion.

I didn't see a way to reuse things in that patch series, situation is
different, in that patch it needs to get RSDP in very early boot stage
so it did everything from scratch, in this patch kexec_file_load need
to get RSDP too, but everything is well setup so things are a lot
easier, just read from current boot_prams, efi and fallback to
acpi_find_root_pointer should be good.

And that patch series also need to consider boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr
value, or it won't work if the system is rebooted with kexec, efi is
disabled and acpi_rsdp is provided by boot_params (Xen PVH guests also
need to get acpi_rsdp from boot_params according to commit message of
ae7e1238e68f2a472a125673ab506d49158c1889). Will add some comment and
discuss.

No no. Early code should find out that venerable RSDP thing once and
will save it somewhere for further use. No gazillion parsings of it.
Just once and share it with the rest of the code that needs it.

How about we refill the boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr if it is not valid
in early code, so it could be used as a reliable RSDP address source?
That should make things easier.

But if early code should parse it and store it should be done in
Chao's patch, or I can post another patch to do it if Chao's patch is
merged.

For now I think good to have something like this in this patch series
to always keep storing acpi_rsdp in late code,
acpi_os_get_root_pointer_late (maybe comeup with a better name later)
could be used anytime to get RSDP and no extra parsing:

I think it's OK.
Try to read it, if get RSDP, use it.
If not, search in EFI/BIOS/... and refill the RSDP to
boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr.
By the way, I search kernel code, I didn't find other code fill and
use it, only you(KEXEC) are trying to fill it.
If I miss something, please let me know.

Thanks,
Chao Fan

I think it's OK.
Try to read it, if get RSDP, use it.
If not, search in EFI/BIOS/... and refill the RSDP to
boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr.
By the way, I search kernel code, I didn't find other code fill and
use it, only you(KEXEC) are trying to fill it.
If I miss something, please let me know.

Yes, kexec would read RSDP again to pass it to second kernel, and only
if EFI is disabled (efi=noruntime/old_map, else second kernel will get
rsdp just fine). Not sure if any other component would use it.

Hi, sure will do.
Any thought on adding an acpi_os_get_root_pointer_late and store rsdp
pointer as mentioned? Will updat the patch and post V2, and cc
linux-acpi as well later.

It is a good idea in general IMO, but all depends on how the code

Chao's stuff does the as early as possible parsing of RDSP. Then, it
should be saved into boot_params and everything else should read it from
there. Simple.

Hi Boris,

So I have changed as this method and put in my mail thread, you may not
notice, so I put here for my function if I need to fill the
boot_parameters:

static inline acpi_physical_address get_boot_params_rsdp(void)
{
        return boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr;
}

static acpi_physical_address get_rsdp_addr(void)
{
        bool boot_params_rsdp_exist;
        acpi_physical_address pa;

        pa = get_acpi_rsdp();

        if (!pa)
                pa = get_boot_params_rsdp();

        if (!pa) {
                pa = efi_get_rsdp_addr();
                boot_params_rsdp_exist = false;
        }
        else
                boot_params_rsdp_exist = true;

        if (!pa)
                pa = bios_get_rsdp_addr();

        if (pa && !boot_params_rsdp_exist)
                boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr = pa;

        return pa;
}

At the same time, I notice kernel only parses it when
"#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI", we should keep sync with kernel, but I think
we are parsing SRAT, CONFIG_ACPI is needed sure, so I am going to
update the define of EARLY_SRAT_PARSE:

config EARLY_SRAT_PARSE
        bool "EARLY SRAT parsing"
        def_bool y
        depends on RANDOMIZE_BASE && MEMORY_HOTREMOVE && ACPI

If I miss something, please let me know.
Or in my PATCHSET, I don't need to fill boot_parameters, just
leave the job another PATCH?

Thanks,
Chao Fan

Actually, you don't need that anymore - make it unconditionally
built-in. Because there are a bunch of users which need this and instead
of complicating this config option with a bunch of dependencies, we can
just as well have it always on.

Since I didn't see where Xen to fill the value, if
boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr is filled before my code, I just need to
read it. If when I try to read it but not found, then parse RSDP and
fill the RSDP address to boot_params->acpi_rsdp_addr.

And you can't simply do:

	if (boot_params.acpi_rsdp_addr)
		return;

at the beginning of that function?

According to your reply, I change it as:
vmlinux-objs-y += $(obj)/acpi.o
But I notice the only function call entry is in kaslr.c which needs
RANDOMIZE_BASE, so do I need change it as:
vmlinux-objs-$(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) += $(obj)/acpi.o

Well, the very first patch in this thread doesn't have anything to do
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE but wants RDSP too.
