[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 00/15] env: Multiple env support and env transition for sunxi

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 00/15] env: Multiple env support and env transition for sunxi

[Maxime Ripard]

Hi,

Here is a second attempt at transitioning away from the MMC raw environment
to a FAT-based one for Allwinner SoCs. Since the RFC was quite well
received, I actually tested it and fixed a few rough edges.

You'll find the first RFC here for reference:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-October/310111.html

And the second that originated in this series:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-November/311608.html

I gave it a travis run, and it passes all tests:
https://travis-ci.org/mripard/u-boot

Thanks!
Maxime

Original description of the patches:

The fundamental issue I'm trying to adress is that we've had for a
very long time the assumption that the main U-Boot binary wouldn't
exceed around 500 bytes.

However, we're starting to get real close to that limit, and are
running out of silver bullets to deal with the consequences of having
a bigger U-Boot binary, the main consequence being that we would
have some overlap between the environment and U-Boot.

One way to address this that has been suggested by Tom is to move away
from the raw MMC environment to a FAT-based one. This would allow us
to slowly migrate away, and eventually remove the MMC-raw option
entirely to reclaim that space for the binary.

That cannot be done in a single release however, since we might have
environments in the wild already that people rely on. And since we
always encouraged people to use the raw MMC environment, noone would
expect that.

This is even worse since some platforms are using the U-Boot
environment to deal with implement their upgrade mechanism, such as
mender.io, and force moving the environment would break any further
upgrade.

The suggested implementation is to allow U-Boot to compile multiple
environments backend at once, based on the work done by Simon. The
default behaviour shouldn't change obviously. We can then piggy-back
on this to tweak on a per-board basis the environment lookup algorithm
to always favour the FAT-based environment and then fallback to the
MMC. It will allow us to migrate a raw-MMC user to a FAT based
solution as soon as they update their environment (assuming that there
is a bootable FAT partition in the system).

This has just been compile tested on sunxi so far, and I'd like
general comments on the approach taken. Obviously, this will need to
work properly before being merged.

Changes from v2:
  - Fix a bug showing up on travis that resulted in the vexpress_ca_15 DHCP
    unit test failing. This was due to an improper return of ENVL_UNKNOWN.
  - Added Simon reviewed-by tag

Changes from v1:
  - Collect tags
  - Rebased on v2018.01
  - Fixed build failures on a couple of boards
  - Added back the message and the error code when an environment is
    failing
  - Added some comments about the printf in environments
  - Added a build time check about the number of our locations array to see
    if we're overflowing the location variable
  - Fixed the drv->init return code being ignored
  - Added helpers to manage the init status
  - Changed the ENVO prefix for the operations to ENVOP
  - Added some comments and documentation

Changes from the RFC:
  - Added more useful messages to see where we're loading / saving
  - Init all the environments no matter what, and the deal with whatever
    env we want to pick at load time
  - Added the various tags collected

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 01/15] cmd: nvedit: Get rid of the env lookup

[Maxime Ripard]

The nvedit command is the only user of env_driver_lookup_default outside of
the environment code itself, and it uses it only to print the environment
it's about to save to during env save.

As we're about to rework the environment to be able to handle multiple
environment sources, we might not have an idea of what environment backend
is going to be used before trying (and possibly failing for some).

Therefore, it makes sense to remove that message and move it to the
env_save function itself. As a side effect, we also can get rid of the call
to env_driver_lookup_default that is also about to get refactored.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 02/15] env: Rename env_driver_lookup_default and env_get_default_location

[Maxime Ripard]

The env_driver_lookup_default and env_get_default_location functions are
about to get refactored to support loading from multiple environment.

The name is therefore not really well suited anymore. Drop the default
part to be a bit more relevant.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 03/15] env: Pass additional parameters to the env lookup function

[Maxime Ripard]

In preparation for the multiple environment support, let's introduce two
new parameters to the environment driver lookup function: the priority and
operation.

The operation parameter is meant to identify, obviously, the operation you
might want to perform on the environment.

The priority is a number passed to identify the environment priority you
want to retrieve. The lowest priority parameter (0) will be the primary
source.

Combining the two parameters allow you to support multiple environments
through different priorities, and to change those priorities between read
and writes operations.

This is especially useful to implement migration mechanisms where you want
to always use the same environment first, be it to read or write, while the
common case is more likely to use the same environment it has read from to
write it to.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 03/15] env: Pass additional parameters to the env lookup function

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Sorry to warm up this old thread, but I think the implementation of 
env_save does not really work on error:

On my board, I have the environment stored in QSPI. If saving fails, 
env_save tries to continue to the next environment driver, but 
env_driver_lookup/env_get_location always returns the same driver for 
ENVOP_SAVE (gd->env_load_location).

The result is that if the env driver returns an error from its save 
function, env_save hangs in an infinite loop.
Sorry I don't have a patch for this right now...

Simon

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 04/15] env: Make the env save message a bit more explicit

[Maxime Ripard]

Since we'll soon have support for multiple environments, the environment
saving message might end up being printed multiple times if the higher
priority environment cannot be used.

That might confuse the user, so let's make it explicit if the operation
failed or not.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 05/15] env: Make it explicit where we're loading our environment from

[Maxime Ripard]

Since we can have multiple environments now, it's better to provide a
decent indication on what environments were tried and which were the one to
fail and succeed.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 09/15] env: Support multiple environments

[Maxime Ripard]

Now that we have everything in place to support multiple environment, let's
make sure the current code can use it.

The priority used between the various environment is the same one that was
used in the code previously.

At read / init times, the highest priority environment is going to be
detected, and we'll use the same one without lookup during writes. This
should implement the same behaviour than we currently have.

Does priority handling really work here? Most env drivers seem to ignore 
the return value of env_import and may thus return success although 
importing the environment failed (only reading the data from the device 
succeeded).

This is from reading the code, I haven't had a chance to test this, yet.

Is there a way to save the environment to drivers other than the one 
selected at init time?

Simon

It is broken on my LS1043ARDB with simply NOR flash. I am trying to
determine what went wrong.

I found the problem. The variable "env_load_location" is static. It is
probably not write-able during booting from flash. It is expected to be
set during ENVOP_INIT. But if I print this variable, it has
ENVL_UNKNOWN. I can make it work by moving env_load_location to global
data structure.

That being said, this addition of multiple environments really slows
down the booting process for me. I see every time env_get_char() is
called, env_driver_lookup() runs. A simple call of env_get_f() gets
slowed down dramatically. I didn't find out where the most time is spent
yet.

Does anyone else experience this unbearable slowness?

I found the problem. In patch #3 in this series, the default get_char()
was dropped so there is no driver for a plain NOR flash. A quick (and
maybe dirty) fix is this


diff --git a/env/env.c b/env/env.c

                if (!env_has_inited(drv->location))
                        continue;

With this temporary fix, my flash chip works again and I can boot all
the way up in a timely manner. I still don't like to call
env_driver_lookup() thousands of times to get a simple env variable.

Can Maxime post a quick post soon?

Yes. Depending on CPU speed... :-)

On my board, that slowdown comes from the fact that env_get_f does not 
check the return value of env_get_char for an error. That leads to 
trying for CONFIG_ENV_SIZE times, which is of course slow.
I'll post a fix for that.

That patch #3 actually changed the behavior for all env drivers not 
providing .get_char (so all drivers except for eeprom and nvram) from 
returning what's behind gd->env_addr. Your patch below restores the old 
behaviour.

I can't tell what's the correct behaviour though: in my tests, env_get_f 
got called even after importing the environment, which is not what I 
would have expected...

That's not a thing Maxime has changed but a change that came in when 
adding environment drivers.

Given that you already made all the debugging, and the patches, and I
have no way to test, I guess it would make more sense if you did it :)

If you agree with this fix (actually revert your change earlier), I can

Yes, I have tested on my boards. I will send out this patch.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 09/15] env: Support multiple environments

I get more build errors testing this feature: there's a global variable 
'env_ptr' declared in flash, nand, nvram and remote env drivers 
(declared as extern in envrionment.h). From reading the code, it seems 
like these could just be changed to static, since 'env_ptr' is not used 
outside these drivers?

Don't use static/global variables. They cause a lot of relocation work/size
and is less flexible. There is no way to #define ENVL_EEPROM to a function 
when a variable.

Is that last sentence truncated?

Can you elaborate a bit more on what is the source of the relocation
issues you're mentionning? Is that because of the section it ends up
in?

Thanks!

Mainly that its adds relocation entries that take up space, more space than doing
a simple assignment directly in code.

In this specific case, I think this array should be const anyway, would 
that prevent the relocation problems you see?

ENVL_EEPROM is an enum value, why would you define it to a function?

I got boards that very similar but differ in where/how env. is stored, like different
flash so I need to be able to select at runtime how get my env., I haven't
looked if this particular area is affected but ideally I would like if all
env. related "constants" could be impl. with a function instead.

Also, using static/global vars takes more space than simple assignments in code, ideally
everything needed early (before reloc/ in SPL) should avoid relocations to save space.

It's exactly the point of this entire serie though, and why we merged
it.

You just need to override env_get_location in your board, and return
the preferred location.

Given Joakim's comment, I guess we should keep them !static, rename
them to $env_env_ptr, and remove the definition in the
include/environment that doesn't seem used anywhere.

That's OK for me, I just wanted to point out the build error.

However, I do think that having unnecessary non-static global variables 
is not really good coding style as you risk name clashes. I'd really be 
interested in a reason for this.

If the relocation works with a static variable, I'm all for it.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 10/15] env: Initialise all the environments

[Maxime Ripard]

Since we want to have multiple environments, we will need to initialise
all the environments since we don't know at init time what drivers might
fail when calling load.

Let's init all of them, and only consider for further operations the ones
that have not reported any errors at init time.

I get a build error when enabling CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH and 
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC at the same time.

The build error is in host tools, not in U-Boot or SPL itself. In fact, 
this is not specific to CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH but to the 
combination of CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC and any of the environments marked 
as ENVCRC- in tools/Makefile.

The actual error is that the compiler does not know standard types in 
efi.h and mmc.h, e.g.:
In file included from include/blk.h:11:0,
                  from include/part.h:10,
                  from include/mmc.h:16,
                  from include/environment.h:168,
                  from ./tools/../env/embedded.c:16,
                  from tools/env/embedded.c:2:
include/efi.h:32:2: error: unknown type name ‘u8’
   u8 b[16];
   ^~

I can't think of a correct fix right now...

Is that happening in any of the current defconfig right now? Or is it
only when you add more environments?

I'm not sure what it could be either, that file looks like it would
need a quite big rework, in order to be able to operate properly.

Do you actually need those? Maybe we can just disable those in Kconfig
to forbid such a combination?

Sorry for missing that conversation a bit, but is it really enough to 
override env_get_location?
Overriding this function should make the env_locations array unused, but 
env_set_inited still references it.

Simon

Well, it's not really referenced, there's a build time boundary check
that we do not overflow our bitfield.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 14/15] sunxi: Transition from the MMC to a FAT-based environment

[Maxime Ripard]

The current environment has been hardcoded to an offset that starts to be
an issue given the current size of our main U-Boot binary.

By implementing a custom environment location routine, we can always favor
the FAT-based environment, and fallback to the MMC if we don't find
something in the FAT partition. We also implement the same order when
saving the environment, so that hopefully we can slowly migrate the users
over to FAT-based environment and away from the raw MMC one.

Eventually, and hopefully before we reach that limit again, we will have
most of our users using that setup, and we'll be able to retire the raw
environment, and gain more room for the U-Boot binary.

No, this is with my own config. I'm trying out the new feature :-)

I planned to have the environment in both SPI flash and eMMC to
be able to use a common U-Boot binary accross multiple boards.

I don't need 'tools/envcrc' though. And this is where the build
error is.

Maybe we could disable the combination for 'tools/envcrc' only?

Apparently, envcrc is used to generate the CRC of an embedded
environment image inside the U-Boot image, which would be triggered in
some specific cases.

I'm not sure we can disable it without breaking use cases.

in this particular case, it seems that the u8 typedef is done at the
architecture level, and efi.h doesn't include asm/types.h that define
it. Maybe it's as simple as that. Otherwise, it includes linux/types.h
that defines uint8_t, we can use that instead.

I didn't want to suggest removing envcrc. I'd rather wanted to somehow 
prevent including "mmc.h" when compiling for envcrc... Anyway, that 
would be a hack to make it work for me.

Digging into this again, it seems clear that this doesn't work since 
'u8' is meant for kernel space while user space should use '__u8'. 
Envcrc *is* userspace, so using uint8_t everywhere makes more sense.

Yes, but the offending variable is in include/efi.h, which would be
included by both (but probably not intentionally in the envcrc case).
