[PATCH v2 0/6] ARM64: meson: GXBaby (S905) and Vega S95 enablement

[PATCH v2 0/6] ARM64: meson: GXBaby (S905) and Vega S95 enablement

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

This series adds initial support for the Amlogic S905 based
Tronsmart Vega S95 Pro, Meta and Telos TV boxes.

v2:
* Pick up previously acked "tronsmart" patch instead (Matthias)
* Drop ARM_GIC selection (Sudeep)
* Change some compatible strings (Sudeep, André)
* Squash some node changes/additions

Note: On the Vega S95 I need to change TEXT_OFFSET as follows,
in order to avoid the vendor U-Boot overwriting itself (fwiu);
for the Mini Mx that's reportedly not necessary.

 # KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = VA_START + (1 << (VA_BITS - 3)) - (1 << 61)

This in turn runs into an apparent regression introduced with the
text offset randomization:

Absolute NAK to this. TEXT_OFFSET is not open for platform-specific
modification.

Why can you not just load the Image 2MB higher regardless? Does the
U-Boot on this platform actually read TEXT_OFFSET and take it into
account?

This is not a regression. As above, TEXT_OFFSET is not supposed to be
modified in a platform-specific manner.

Please read again. There is nothing to NAK here, it's a workaround for
testing my patches on my device! Even my own git queue has it clearly
labeled as "HACK:".

Nothing you say here indicates that this is breaking any particular
kernel feature or damaging the device, so unless you propose a different
way to solve the problem I see no way around it for now.

> Why can you not just load the Image 2MB higher regardless? Does the

Yes, U-Boot checks the ELF(?) header and tries to copy the image to the
indicated offset if it isn't loaded there already. The vendor's kernel
has the adjusted offset and works; if I use unmodified mainline kernels
then I get weird exceptions from before entering the kernel, my
assumption being that U-Boot code gets overwritten.

http://openlinux.amlogic.com:8000/download/ARM/u-boot/

This problem might go away if we had a proper upstream-based U-Boot; I'm
not familiar enough with U-Boot to fix that myself and would hate to
mess with U-Boot on eMMC, for lack of JTAG pins on this device.

The Odroid-C2 (which I do not have access to yet) has instructions how
to place U-Boot on an SD card, making it safer to experiment with.

It is in fact an unexplained behavioral change in

As you can see, previously 0x1080000 was a valid value, and this
regressed with the new randomization feature. It obviously works with
the larger offset for me, so the "must be" seems questionable.

Sure; I appreciate you need a workaround for the broken bootloader
currently on the device.

I'm simply heading off any attempts to upstream such changes.

As far as I am aware, this should not result in damage to your device.

However, it runs directly counter to single-image, and other parts of
the kernel _may_ rely on the existing limits on TEXT_OFFSET. So it's not
suitable for upstream, and you _may_ encounter issues as a result.

So the vendor deliberately changed the kernel Image in an unsupported
fashion, resulting in a divergent boot protocol.

This is incredibly unfortunate.

This is probably the right path to a solution.

Yes, strictly speaking it is a change.

No, it is not a regression, since TEXT_OFFSET was _never_ open to such
platform-specific modification.

FYI, the Amlogic P200 dev board also needs this hack with the factory u-boot.

I have meanwhile found that

mkimage -A arm64 -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x1080000 -e 0x1080000 \
-n linux-next -d arch/arm64/boot/Image ../uImage

and then using bootm instead of booti works even without the above hack
on the Vega S95. Not a satisfactory solution yet, but better than
patching the kernel in a distro-incompatible way.

Andreas
