            Bug ID: 215217
           Summary: Kernel fails to boot at an early stage when built with
                    GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y (PowerMac G4 3,6)
           Product: Platform Specific/Hardware

kernel .config (5.16-rc3, PowerMac G4 DP)

Get this on my PowerMac G4 DP when I build a kernel with
GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y. The kernel gets decompressed but shortly
afterwards the machine freezes, displaying in black letters on an entirely
white screen:

done
found display   : /pci@f0000000/ATY,AlteracParent@10/ATY,Alterac_B@1,
opening...

Same kernel config built without GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY just boots fine.
Happens on v5.15.5 and v5.16-rc3. I did not test other kernel versions yet.

My Talos II (Power9) on the other hand just works fine with a
GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y built kernel.

POWER9 doesn't have KASAN.

Did you try G4 without KASAN ?

I tried your config under QEMU and it works. So I don't know how I could help.

kernel .config (4.18.20, PowerMac G4 DP)

Hmm, strange...

I tried to bisect but found out that this issue goes back to kernel v4.18.20 at
least. This one is the earliest I am able to build with
GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y, kernels before error out with:

make: ngcc: No such file or directory
Cannot use CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS: plugin support on gcc <= 5.1 is buggy on
powerpc, please upgrade to gcc 5.2 or newer

I used gcc 9.4.0 and reduced the kernel .config a lot but it's still the same.
v4.18.20 with GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y freezes at this early boot stage,
without GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY booting continues.

Also GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y makes no problem on my G5 either. So it's only
the G4 which is affected. Wildly guessing this may be a 32bit PowerPC gcc
specific thing?

It's likely there's some 32-bit boot code that is being instrumented in a way
that causes it to crash.

We probably need to add some more uses of DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN in
arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile.

To start with you could try adding:

  CFLAGS_setup_32.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)

Ok I cheked that out. There are already some in the Makefile:

CFLAGS_cputable.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_prom_init.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_btext.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_prom.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)

I added CFLAGS_setup_32.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN) on top of that,
rebuilt the kernel after a make clean. No success so far, the kernel still does
not boot.

early_32.o should likely also have DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN, maybe even
more important that for setup_32.o

--- Comment #9 from Christophe Leroy (christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu) ---
Erhard, were you able to redo the test with DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN also
disabled for early_32.o  ?

If you can try with it disabled for both early_32.o and setup_32.o
Then if it works, retry with it disabled only for early_32.o

kernel zImage (5.16-rc5 + CFLAGS_setup_32.o/early_32.o +=... , PowerMac G4 DP)

Unfortunately still no success.

Relevant section in the Makefile now looks like this:
CFLAGS_early_32.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_setup_32.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_cputable.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_prom_init.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_btext.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
CFLAGS_prom.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)

I'll attach the generated zImage, maybe you can make something out of it.

Ok, so that's not enough, must be something else.

I guess you are right next step should be analysis of the image.

zImage however can hardly be used for that.

Could you provide vmlinux file ?

Ok. I .xz-compressed it afterwards as it would be too big otherwise.

I can confirm this works, thanks!

I need

arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile: 
CFLAGS_early_32.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)
arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile:
CFLAGS_feature-fixups.o += $(DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN)

to make it going on my G4 with GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y. Modifying
setup_32.o is not needed.
