[PATCH v2 0/2] ARM: move FDT mapping out of linear region

[PATCH v2 0/2] ARM: move FDT mapping out of linear region

[Ard Biesheuvel]

For the ARM kernel, setting up the kernel's virtual address space at boot
is tricky, given the risk of collision between 1:1 mapped regions and
virtually remapped regions. There is also a concern regarding the exact
mapping attributes that are needed for each region, which differs between
ARM architecture revisions, UP vs SMP etc

For this reason, the kernel VA space is set up in two stages: at early
boot, only the kernel itself and the DT are mapped using section mappings
and later on, all existing mappings are torn down except the one covering
the first memblock covering the kernel, and remapped again using the full
fledged mapping routines that can map at page granularity and use all the
right mapping attributes.

There are cases where this may result in the DT getting unmapped at
this point, and not remapped again. For instance, if the first memblock
is not PMD aligned, we will align it up, and mark the memory below it
as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP, to avoid having to allocate page tables to create
the mapping before we have a mapped memblock to allocate from. If the
DT happens to reside in this region, it will not be mapped at all when
the permanent kernel VA mappings are in place, resulting in crashes.

As we happen to have a 4 MB hole in the kernel VA space (between the
end of the VMALLOC space and the start of the FIXMAP region), let's
use it to create a permanent, read-only mapping of the DT that is not
affected by any such issues.

Changes since v1:
- bump the start of the fixmap region by 512 KB so we still have a full
  guard region even on LPAE builds, which will use the entire 4 MB window
  for the read-only mapping of the DT
- update Documentation/arm/memory.rst accordingly
- add Linus's ack

[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: centralize phys-to-virt conversion of DT/ATAGS address

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Before moving the DT mapping out of the linear region, let's prepare
for this change by removing all the phys-to-virt translations of the
__atags_pointer variable, and perform this translation only once at
setup time.

[PATCH v2 2/2] ARM: move device tree mapping out of linear region

[Ard Biesheuvel]

On ARM, setting up the linear region is tricky, given the constraints
around placement and alignment of the memblocks, and how the kernel
itself as well as the DT are placed in physical memory.

Let's simplify matters a bit, by moving the device tree mapping to the
top of the address space, right between the end of the vmalloc region
and the start of the the fixmap region, and create a read-only mapping
for it that is independent of the size of the linear region, and how it
is organized.

Since this region was formerly used as a guard region, which will now be
populated fully on LPAE builds by this read-only mapping (which will
still be able to function as a guard region for stray writes), bump the
start of the [underutilized] fixmap region by 512 KB as well, to ensure
that there is always a proper guard region here. Doing so still leaves
ample room for the fixmap space, even with NR_CPUS set to its maximum
value of 32.

If __atags_pointer is zero, you'll end up with atags_vaddr being 
undefined here. I'm surprised the compiler didn't warn about that.

Hmmm... I wonder why MT_ROM was there in the first place.

Digging into the history of this particular test (which has seen many 
slight variations over the years and could probably be simplified 
further nowdays) I finally found where that MT_ROM condition was 
introduced:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=457450ab3b94

Oh well...

I didn't dig quite that far, but I did notice that the test predates
get Git era.

My reasoning to remove it was that MT_ROM is only used locally in the
same source file, whereas MT_DEVICE is used all over the place by
machine files, and so MT_DEVICE obviously requires this kind of
policing to ensure that the static device mappings do not overlap. The
XIP kernel mapping and now the DTB mapping were carefully placed in
the memory map, and so MT_ROM regions can be disregarded here.

I was just wondering who added that useless condition given that the 
only MT_ROM usage before your patch was for the XIP mapping of the 
kernel which is always located in the module area i.e. below 
PAGE_OFFSET.

Hmmm... that's nasty.  I guess we'll have to get into the habit of 
test-compiling our patches with W=2 then, at least for catching the 
obvious ones like this case. Someone should automate that into 
checkpatch or the like.

This patch landed in linux-next 20201028 as commit 7a1be318f579 ("ARM: 
9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region"). Sadly it broke 
booting  almost all Samsung Exynos-based boards. The only one which 
booted, used an appended device tree. I can provide more information if 
needed, just let me know what to check. "Starting kernel ..." is the 
last message I see here. No output from earlycon.

This patch landed in linux-next 20201028 as commit 7a1be318f579 ("ARM: 
9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region"). Sadly it broke 
booting  almost all Samsung Exynos-based boards. The only one which 
booted, used an appended device tree. I can provide more information if 
needed, just let me know what to check. "Starting kernel ..." is the 
last message I see here. No output from earlycon.

Thanks for the report. I will have a look later today.

Do these platforms happen to have any static device mappings that may
collide with this mapping of the FDT? Also, could this be related to
device drivers making changes in memory to the FDT image? Because the
permanent mapping of the FDT is read-only now.

IOW, does using MT_MEMORY_RW instead of MT_ROM for the mapping make a
difference?

Nope, chaning it to MT_MEMORY_RW doesn't fix anything.

The only static mapping I'm aware is S5P_VA_CHIPID at 0xF6000000 + 
0x02000000.

A bisection lead me to this patch after the next-20201028 failed to
boot on the aspeed systems in testing (aspeed_g5_defconfig).

You can reproduce this with today's next and qemu 5.1:

qemu-system-arm -M romulus-bmc -nographic \
 -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
 -dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-romulus.dtb \
 -initrd any-old-file

It requires the initrd option to reproduce, but the initrd doesn't
need to be valid as we don't make it that far.

There is no output but attaching gdb shows the kernel is stuck in
setup_machine_tags. (If we enable CONFIG_ATAGS it is instead stuck in
calibrate_delay).

(gdb) bt
#0  setup_machine_tags (machine_nr=<optimized out>,
__atags_vaddr=<optimized out>) at ../arch/arm/kernel/atags.h:12
#1  setup_arch (cmdline_p=0x80c01fc4) at ../arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:1100
#2  0x80b00d2c in start_kernel () at ../init/main.c:862
#3  0x00000000 in ?? ()

Reverting 7a1be318f579 on top of next allowed the system to boot again.

Cheers,

Joel

Is this correct? If the FDT fixed size is 2x, why does FDT_VIRT_ADDR()
only work for half of it?

Perhaps the naming is confusing. This is only used to obtain the start
of the virtually mapped DT, which amounts to the virtual address of
the section plus the physical address modulo the section size.

I will rename physaddr to physbase when I respin this as a patch.
Shall I rename FDT_VIRT_ADDR to FDT_VIRT_BASE as well?

Perhaps the naming is confusing. This is only used to obtain the start
of the virtually mapped DT, which amounts to the virtual address of
the section plus the physical address modulo the section size.

I will rename physaddr to physbase when I respin this as a patch.
Shall I rename FDT_VIRT_ADDR to FDT_VIRT_BASE as well?

Yes please, I think that makes it clearer what is going on here.
