[PATCH v2 0/3] Early serial on Power
Posted by Shawn Anastasio 10 months, 1 week ago
Hello all,

This series adds support for early serial printing on Power, as well as
a simple CI smoke test modeled after the riscv one.

The first patch is responsible for setting up a basic C environment with
an initial stack and a cleared .bss while the second sets up an Open
Firmware serial console and primitive early_printk infrastructure.

Of note is that this series is currently based on the following series
from Andrew Cooper: '[PATCH 0/2] xen/types: Cleanup'
(https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2023-06/msg01601.html)

This will currently only run on QEMU pseries VMs, since the firmware
interface on bare metal differs significantly. Support for bare metal
will be added in a future series.

Thanks,
Shawn

Changes in v2:
  - Split main patch into two - one for basic C environment setup and
    one for serial
  - Mark OpenFirmware functions and early_printk functions as __init and
    change boot-of.o to boot-of.init.o in Makefile
  - Change <xen/lib.h> include to <xen/stdarg.h> and drop skeleton
    headers that are no longer necessary for build as a result
  - Add loop to clear .bss before jumping to C environment that was
    accidentally excluded from the first series
  - Move common asm macros from processor.h to asm-defns.h
  - Change note in head.S about preserved registers to a multi-line
    comment so it's more noticeable
  - Drop reg-defs.h and use '%'-prefixed register names in assembly
      - This is necessary since -mregnames, which allows standard
        non-prefixed register names without manual macro definitions,
        is not supported by LLVM's assembler.
  - Drop inline asm swab routines in favor of __builtin_bswap family
  - Fix up types.h in accordance with (as of now, unmerged)
    'xen/types: Rework stdint vs __{u,s}$N types'
  - Remove unnecessary braces for single-line statements
  - Remove unnecessary license text when SPDX header is present
  - Fix alphabetical ordering of object declarations in Makefile
  - Drop 'extern' from enter_of prototype, ensure prototypes have
    argument names

What is this about? There's no change to non-ppc files here
according to ...

... this. Plus lib.h already includes stdarg.h.

Sorry, that was a bit ambiguous on my part. I meant that I changed

  #include <xen/lib.h>

to

  #include <xen/stdarg.h>

in arch/ppc/boot-of.c to reduce the number of headers
that I needed to create in arch/ppc/include/asm in order for the build
to work. lib.h includes (directly and indirectly) many things from asm/
but stdarg.h is mostly standalone.
