[v4] RISCV basic exception handling implementation

[PATCH v4 0/5] RISCV basic exception handling implementation
Posted by Oleksii Kurochko 1 year, 2 months ago
The patch series is based on [introduce generic implementation
of macros from bug.h] which hasn't been commited yet.

The patch series provides a basic implementation of exception handling.
It can do only basic things such as decode a cause of an exception,
save/restore registers and execute "wfi" instruction if an exception
can not be handled.

To verify that exception handling works well it was implemented macros
from <asm/bug.h> such as BUG/WARN/run_in_exception/assert_failed.
The implementation of macros is used "ebreak" instruction and set up bug
frame tables for each type of macros.
Also it was implemented register save/restore to return and continue work
after WARN/run_in_exception.
Not all functionality of the macros was implemented as some of them
require hard-panic the system which is not available now. Instead of
hard-panic 'wfi' instruction is used but it should be definitely changed
in the neareset future.
It wasn't implemented show_execution_state() and stack trace discovering
as it's not necessary now.

Changes in V4:
  - Rebase the patch series on top of new version of [introduce generic
    implementation of macros from bug.h] patch series.
  - Update the cover letter message as 'Early printk' was merged and
    the current one patch series is based only on [introduce generic
    implementation of macros from bug.h] which hasn't been commited yet.
  - The following patches of the patch series were merged to staging:
      [PATCH v3 01/14] xen/riscv: change ISA to r64G
      [PATCH v3 02/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/asm.h> header
      [PATCH v3 03/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/riscv_encoding.h header
      [PATCH v3 04/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/csr.h> header
      [PATCH v3 05/14] xen/riscv: introduce empty <asm/string.h>
      [PATCH v3 06/14] xen/riscv: introduce empty <asm/cache.h>
      [PATCH v3 07/14] xen/riscv: introduce exception context
      [PATCH v3 08/14] xen/riscv: introduce exception handlers implementation
      [PATCH v3 10/14] xen/riscv: mask all interrupts
  - Fix addressed comments in xen-devel mailing list.

---
Changes in V3:
  - Change the name of config RISCV_ISA_RV64IMA to RISCV_ISA_RV64G
    as instructions from Zicsr and Zifencei extensions aren't part of
    I extension any more.
  - Rebase the patch "xen/riscv: introduce an implementation of macros
    from <asm/bug.h>" on top of patch series [introduce generic implementation
    of macros from bug.h]
  - Update commit messages
---
Changes in V2:
  - take the latest riscv_encoding.h from OpenSBI, update it with Xen
    related changes, and update the commit message with "Origin:"
    tag and the commit message itself.
  - add "Origin:" tag to the commit messag of the patch
    [xen/riscv: add <asm/csr.h> header].
  - Remove the patch [xen/riscv: add early_printk_hnum() function] as the
    functionality provided by the patch isn't used now.
  - Refactor prcoess.h: move structure offset defines to asm-offsets.c,
    change register_t to unsigned long.
  - Refactor entry.S to use offsets defined in asm-offsets.C
  - Rename {__,}handle_exception to handle_trap() and do_trap() to be more
    consistent with RISC-V spec.
  - Merge the pathc which introduces do_unexpected_trap() with the patch
    [xen/riscv: introduce exception handlers implementation].
  - Rename setup_trap_handler() to trap_init() and update correspondingly
    the patches in the patch series.
  - Refactor bug.h, remove bug_instr_t type from it.
  - Refactor decode_trap_cause() function to be more optimization-friendly.
  - Add two new empty headers: <cache.h> and <string.h> as they are needed to
    include <xen/lib.h> which provides ARRAY_SIZE and other macros.
  - Code style fixes.
