Svpbmt is an extension defining "Supervisor-mode: page-based memory types"
for things like non-cacheable pages or I/O memory pages.


So this is my 2nd try at implementing Svpbmt (and the diverging D1 memory
types) using the alternatives framework.

This includes a number of changes to the alternatives mechanism itself.
The biggest one being the move to a more central location, as I expect
in the future, nearly every chip needing some sort of patching, be it
either for erratas or for optional features (svpbmt or others).

Detection of the svpbmt functionality is done via Atish's isa extension
handling series [0] and thus does not need any dt-parsing of its own
anymore.

The series also introduces support for the memory types of the D1
which are implemented differently to svpbmt. But when patching anyway
it's pretty clean to add the D1 variant via ALTERNATIVE_2 to the same
location.

The only slightly bigger difference is that the "normal" type is not 0
as with svpbmt, so kernel patches for this PMA type need to be applied
even before the MMU is brought up, so the series introduces a separate
stage for that.


In theory this series is 3 parts:
- sbi cache-flush / null-ptr
- alternatives improvements
- svpbmt+d1

So expecially patches from the first 2 areas could be applied when
deemed ready, I just thought to keep it together to show-case where
the end-goal is and not requiring jumping between different series.


I picked the recipient list from the previous versions, hopefully
I didn't forget anybody.

changes in v7:
- fix typo in patch1 (Atish)
- moved to Atish's isa-extension framework
- and therefore move regular boot-alternatives directly behind fill_hwcaps
- change T-Head errata Kconfig text (Atish)

changes in v6:
- rebase onto 5.17-rc1
- handle sbi null-ptr differently
- improve commit messages
- use riscv,mmu as property name

changes in v5:
- move to use alternatives for runtime-patching
- add D1 variant

That first patch looks like an acceptable candidate for fixes.  If 
there's a regression that manifests I'm happy to take it, but if it's 
only possible to manifest a crash with the new stuff then I'm OK just 
holding off until the merge window.

I was just poking around v6, so I have some minor comments there.  None 
of those need to block merging this, but I am getting a bunch of build 
failures under allmodconfig

    $ make.riscv allmodconfig
    #
    # configuration written to .config
    #
    $ make.riscv mm/kasan/init.o
      SYNC    include/config/auto.conf.cmd

      CC      arch/riscv/kernel/asm-offsets.s
      CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
      CC      mm/kasan/init.o
    ./arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h: Assembler messages:
    ./arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h:323: Error: attempt to move .org backwards

    make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:550: mm/kasan] Error 2
    make: *** [Makefile:1831: mm] Error 2

Unfortunately my build box just blew up so I haven't had time to confim 
this still exists on v7, but nothing's jumping out as a fix.  I've put 
this on the riscv-d1 branch at kernel.org/palmer/linux, not sure exactly 
what's going on but I'm guessing one of the macros has gone off the 
rails.  I'm going to look at something else (as this one at least 
depends on Atish's patches), but LMK if you've got the time to look into 
this or if I should.

Thanks!

While right now only my poking around the early init via alternatives
is affected, the problem exists for everyone.

I.e. I do consider flush_icache_all() to be generic enough that we
should expect someone trying to call this in some early code-path
as well.

But any call to flush_icache_all() before sbi_init() ran will cause the
breakage that is fixed by patch1 .


So it doesn't look like any _current_ code path has that issue, but
it might be good to just pick patch1 for the next merge window
individually?

Yeah, we now depend on Atish's isa-extension parsing (same for my cmo
series and some more series I saw on the list), so getting that into a
mergeable position would be really great :-)

"attempt to move .org backwards" seems to be the telltale sign of the
alternatives blocks not matching up in size. While I definitly didn't see
anything like this in my tests on qemu + d1, I'll try to investigate where
that comes from.

Hmm, looking at your branch [0] it seems that you're missing
patch7 that introduces the no-compressed-instruction thingy
for alternatives.

And missing that patch will of course cause the size issue.

The patch has made its way to the actual mailing lists [1], so I guess
it "just" somehow didn't reach your inbox due to some mail hickup?

Sorry about that, I'm not sure what happened.

Unfortunately I'm now getting some even trickier failures: a handful of 
configurations are failing very early in boot.  There doesn't seem to be 
much pattern to the configs that fail, but at least rv32 defconfig (on 
QEMU's virt board) is doing so.  I've tried poking around a bit and 
can't figure out what's going on.  I'll try and look again tomorrow 
morning.

I've put my somewhat messy merged test branch at 
kernel.org/palmer/riscv-d1-merge .  Happy to hear if you have any 
insights, otherwise I'l give it another shot (possibly after looking at 
some other patches, there's quite a bit of a queue for this late).

no worries :-) . And I also have no clue where the hickup happened
but am thankful that there is no general problem with mails.

Hmm, really strange especially as the whole thing is somewhat
limited to 64bit anyway.

I guess it would be interesting if it's in the alternative-basics
part of the svpbmt implementation.

My short try on getting a (any) rv32 kernel boot in qemu wasn't sucessful
yet, so I'll need to poke that more next week.

Oddly enough it seems to be hanging as soon as I call into any of the 
m*id SBI routines, but I'm not entierly sure what's up and I've been 
bouncing between things so I might just be crazy.

I did bisect the rv32-defconfig failure down to the last patch.

There's a bunch of failing cases, not just rv32, but I can't figure out 
what logic there is behind the failing cases.  They're all in my 
riscv-system-ci repo, it's a mess but should at least build.  I see the 
following hang:

rv32 defconfig seemed like the simplest, but there's a bunch of rv64 
configs that fail too (though not defconfig, and the earlycon configs 
don't hang).

I'm going to go look at that other stuff I wanted to, but I'll try and 
find some time this weekend if nobody else can figure out what's up.

You're defintily not crazy here :-) .

I.e. I didn't notice your reply from friday until now and so did the same
stepping through the code myself as well, after finally getting a rv32
build working.

Similarly I ended up at sbi_get_mvendorid() being the first failing function.

_But_ ... sbi isn't at fault here. What is causing the issue is the writes
to the static global variables. And I guess that will also be the issue
you saw on the other platforms.

The early-alternatives-mechanism runs before the kernel relocation,
so likely triggers some memory protection, which I didn't think of.

I'll just rework the code to not use static variables for storing both
the architecture-ids as well as the patch-func, which I think should
solve that issue for all platforms.
