Hi Martin,

Please see the bisection report below about a boot failure on
rk3328-rock64.

Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're
trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one
looks valid.

Some more details can be found here:

  https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/617f11f5c157b666fb3358e6/

Here's what appears to be the cause of the problem:

[    0.033465] CPU: CPUs started in inconsistent modes
[    0.033557] Unexpected kernel BRK exception at EL1
[    0.034432] Internal error: BRK handler: f2000800 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

There doesn't appear to be any other platform in KernelCI showing
the same issue.

Please let us know if you need help debugging the issue or if you
have a fix to try.

Best wishes,
Guillaume

That's a strange error for the changes from my patch.
At first glance I don't see any relation to clk-composite code:
- the call trace doesn't have any references to CCF or rockchip clock drivers
- clk-rk3328.c uses drivers/clk/rockchip/clk-cpu.c to register the CPU
clock which does not use clk-composite

Chen-Yu has tested this patch (plus [0]) on RK3399 and didn't observe
any problems.
So maybe this is a RK3328 specific issue?
Anyways, I am interested in fixing this issue because reverting is
becoming more and more complex (since I think we're at eight commits
which would need to be reverted in total).

Could you please try [0] which is the second patch in the series which
finally made it upstream.
This second patch is not in 5.15 because I believed that it's only
something to make the code in clk-composite.c more future-proof. It's
not a condition that I am aware of.

I don't have any Rockchip boards myself.
So I am thankful for any help I can get.


Best regards,
Martin

could you try updating u-boot to more recent version: the ramdisk
address has been moved [1] to 0x06000000 in v2020.01-rc5.

I couldn't reproduce this issue with the very same board.

The bisection has checks to avoid false positives, so tests that
produce flaky results won't normally lead to a report like this.
Then they're manually triaged, and there were 2 separate
bisections that landed on this same commit.

That is indeed where the remaining false positives are still
likely to be coming from, when the infrastructure consistently
causes test failures following particular kernel revisions.  I
don't think there's an easy way to rule those out, but we can try
to address them one by one at least.

In the case of colliding address ranges in the bootloader, we
could add a check with the "good" revision and extra data in the
kernel image to make it at least as big as the "bad" revision...

Thanks for investigating this.  The board is in BayLibre's lab.

Corentin, Kevin, could you please take a look?

Thanks,
Guillaume

Hello

I tried to update uboot on it but failed for today.
I found only how to flash sdcard (doiing it remotly), but the board boots SPI first (and I saw no documentation on how to flash SPI).
I need to have physical access to change this.
So probably later this week.

Regards
