[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] PPC: e500: Fix duplicate kernel load and device tree overlap
Posted by David Engraf 6 years, 2 months ago
This patch fixes an incorrect behavior when the -kernel argument has been
specified without -bios. In this case the kernel was loaded twice. At address
32M as a raw image and afterwards by load_elf/load_uimage at the
corresponding load address. In this case the region for the device tree and
the raw kernel image may overlap.

The patch fixes the behavior by loading the kernel image once with
load_elf/load_uimage and skips loading the raw image. It also ensures that
the device tree is generated behind bios/kernel/initrd.

Sorry I've taken so long to respond to this.  I've been busy, then
away, then busy, then recovering from surgery, then...

I think this looks good overall, just a couple of details I'd like to
check, see below.

This condition seems weird.  Why would the kernel and bios images be
the same.  I guess this because of the logic setting bios_name above,
which also seems kind of weird.  Can you clarify what's going on here,
changing that bios_name setting logic, if necessary?

Is this right?  You've already advanced cur_base by bios_size from
where you loaded the bios image, so kernel_base here will point
*after* the bios, not into it, but kernel_size is set to bios_size.
This seems strange.

Basically I didn't change the logic to store the kernel name into 
bios_name when the -bios options was not provided. In this case the 
kernel will be used as payload. Indeed the name is a bit weird. What do 
you think about changing the names from bios to payload?

Right, kernel_base should point to the start of the kernel.

That might be useful.  I'm still a bit confused, though - why does
combining bios and kernel as a single "payload" make sense?  From the
looks of the code it seems that they are separate things and either or
both could be loaded separately.  What am I missing?

You need to differ between the two load algorithms. The payload is 
loaded by using load_elf or load_uimage. The latter images are loaded as 
binary by using load_image_targphys. This is required because QEMU needs 
to know the entry point of the first image (bios or kernel).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] PPC: e500: Fix duplicate kernel load and device tree overlap
Posted by David Engraf 6 years, 2 months ago
This patch fixes an incorrect behavior when the -kernel argument has been
specified without -bios. In this case the kernel was loaded twice. At address
32M as a raw image and afterwards by load_elf/load_uimage at the
corresponding load address. In this case the region for the device tree and
the raw kernel image may overlap.

The patch fixes the behavior by loading the kernel image once with
load_elf/load_uimage and skips loading the raw image. It also ensures that
the device tree is generated behind bios/kernel/initrd.

When here do not use bios_name/size for the kernel and use a more generic
name called payload_name/size.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] PPC: e500: Fix duplicate kernel load and device tree overlap
Posted by David Engraf 6 years, 2 months ago
This patch fixes an incorrect behavior when the -kernel argument has been
specified without -bios. In this case the kernel was loaded twice. At address
32M as a raw image and afterwards by load_elf/load_uimage at the
corresponding load address. In this case the region for the device tree and
the raw kernel image may overlap.

The patch fixes the behavior by loading the kernel image once with
load_elf/load_uimage and skips loading the raw image.

When here do not use bios_name/size for the kernel and use a more generic
name called payload_name/size.

New in v3: dtb must be stored between kernel and initrd because Linux can
           handle the dtb only within the first 64MB. Add a comment to
           clarify the behavior.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply to this.  It looks fine to me,
however, other changes mean it longer quite applies to the
ppc-for-2.12 tree.  Can you fix that up and repost please.

What other changes do you mean? In v3 I just restored the old behavior 
by putting the dtb right after the kernel image. This behavior has been 
changed by mistake in v1/v2. v3 now uses the correct storage location again.

Hi David,

I think what David means is that when he tried to apply your v3 patch to 
his ppc-for-2.12 tree at 
https://github.com/dgibson/qemu/commits/ppc-for-2.12 using git-am then 
it failed - presumably because someone else has made other changes to 
that code since you submitted your v3 patch.

Please can you submit a v4 rebased on top of the current ppc-for-2.12 
branch?


ATB,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

thanks for the info. I will provide an updated version.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] PPC: e500: Fix duplicate kernel load and device tree overlap
Posted by David Engraf 6 years, 1 month ago
This patch fixes an incorrect behavior when the -kernel argument has been
specified without -bios. In this case the kernel was loaded twice. At address
32M as a raw image and afterwards by load_elf/load_uimage at the
corresponding load address. In this case the region for the device tree and
the raw kernel image may overlap.

The patch fixes the behavior by loading the kernel image once with
load_elf/load_uimage and skips loading the raw image.

When here do not use bios_name/size for the kernel and use a more generic
name called payload_name/size.

New in v3: dtb must be stored between kernel and initrd because Linux can
           handle the dtb only within the first 64MB. Add a comment to
           clarify the behavior.
