[v6,00/44] Boot modules for Hyperlaunch

Message

Daniel P. Smith Oct. 17, 2024, 5:02 p.m. UTC

The Boot Modules for Hyperlaunch series is an effort to split out preliminary
changes necessary for the introduction of the Hyperlaunch domain builder
logic. These preliminary changes revolve around introducing the struct
boot_module and struct boot_domain structures. This includes converting the
dom0 construction path to use these structures. These abstractions lay the
groundwork to transform and extend the dom0 construction logic into a limited,
but general domain builder.

The splitting of Hyperlaunch into a set of series are twofold, to reduce the
effort in reviewing a much larger series, and to reduce the effort in handling
the knock-on effects to the construction logic from requested review changes.

Much thanks to AMD for supporting this work.

Changes since v5:
- switched to per patch change logs
- incorporated review requests

Changes since v4:
- added requested inline code comments
- moved instance of struct boot_info to unit level and extern'ed
- array of struct boot_module moved into struct boot_info
- renamed function to multiboot_fill_bootinfo, now returns *struct boot_info
- multiboot_fill_bootinfo changed to take multiboot_info_t addr as param
- added missing guard that checked there were multiboot1/2 modules passed
- renmaed struct elements per the review
- fixed errant commit messages per the review
- corrected coding style per review
- attempted to repalce all open codings of page/addr translations touched 
- unified use of `bi` as var name for pointer ref to struct boot_info
- when appropriate, ensure variables where typed, eg size_t, paddr_t, etc.
- dropped all uses of "a = b = c"

Changes since v3:
- reduced scope to x86 only
- broke changes into a smaller chunks with a linear progression
- concerns about deconflicting with Arm deferred
- conversion from mb1 to boot modules no longer attempted at entry points
- the temporary conversion function is now the permenant means to convert
- incorporated suggestion from Andy Cooper for handling bootstrap_map

Changes since v2:
- combined v2 patches 7 and 8 for common review
- rebased the v2 series onto the current tip of staging (sorry)
- fixed the placement of the patch changelogs
- provided the changes description in the cover letter

Changes since v1:
- the v2 and v3 series implement functionality from v1 patches 2-4
    - v2 series objective is to enable efficient patch review in support
      of merging the functionality into the hypervisor. It implements a
      subset of the v1 series, incorporating changes from community
      feedback.
- the bootstrap map is made accessible early in the v2 series via both
  multiboot and boot module arguments until later in the series where
  multiboot use is retired. This allows for incremental conversion across
  several patches from multiboot to boot modules.
- the 32-bit x86 boot environment header is removed, and changes are
  made to allow the new common bootinfo headers to be used instead.
- Arm and RISC-V architecture bootinfo headers are added to ensure that
  builds on those architectures can complete correctly.
- The KConfig patch to set the maximum number of boot modules allowed
  is not included in this series, replaced with a static maximum define.

I've committed these 4, with the noted minor adjustments.

Unfortunately patch 5 needs some more complicated rework.
