[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 05/10] ppc405_boards: Don't size flash memory to match backing image
Posted by Markus Armbruster 6 years, 11 months ago
Machine "ref405ep" maps its flash memory at address 2^32 - image size.
Image size is rounded up to the next multiple of 64KiB.  Useless,
because pflash_cfi02_realize() fails with "failed to read the initial
flash content" unless the rounding is a no-op.

If the image size exceeds 0x80000 Bytes, we overlap first SRAM, then
other stuff.  No idea how that would play out, but a useful outcomes
seem unlikely.

Map the flash memory at fixed address 0xFFF80000 with size 512KiB,
regardless of image size, to match the physical hardware.

Machine "taihu" maps its boot flash memory similarly.  The code even
has a comment /* XXX: should check that size is 2MB */, followed by
disabled code to adjust the size to 2MiB regardless of image size.

Its code to map its application flash memory looks the same, except
there the XXX comment asks for 32MiB, and the code to adjust the size
isn't disabled.  Note that pflash_cfi02_realize() fails with "failed
to read the initial flash content" for images smaller than 32MiB.

Map the boot flash memory at fixed address 0xFFE00000 with size 2MiB,
to match the physical hardware.  Delete dead code from application
flash mapping, and simplify some.

If PPC405 behaves the same as PPC440 and starts at 0xfffffffc then this 
won't boot. It's maybe better to keep 2^32 - image_size but assert image 
is not bigger than 512kB. But I don't know anything about these boards so 
just sharing this comment for your consideration. I'm fine with any 
decision you take.

If the image is smaller than 512KiB, pflash_cfi02_realize() fails with
"failed to read the initial flash content".

Alex Bennée has a patch that'll make it fail for any size mismatch, with
a much nicer error message.  I like it; silently truncating firmware
images is unlikely to be useful.

For what it's worth, my patch brings this board into line with most
other boards: create flash memory of fixed size at a fixed address,
matching the physical machine we emulate.

The next line has base address 0xFFF80000.  I picked 0x80000 to make
0xFFF80000 + 0x80000 == 0 mod 2^32 more obvious.

If I change 0x80000 to 8 * MiB, the size is more obvious, but "at end of
32 bit address space" less so.

If I additionally change the base address back to ((uint32_t)-bios_size,
"at end of 32 bit address space" is obvious again, but the actual base
address less so.

I don't really care myself.  David, you're the maintainer, do you have a
preference?

I have a weak preference for ((uint32_t)-bios_size), with bios_size =
8 * MiB.

Here I think 64 * KiB would be nice in each of those places.  Again,
only a weak preference.
