[PATCH v5 2/2] xen/riscv: introduce identity mapping
Posted by Oleksii Kurochko 1 year, 4 months ago
The way how switch to virtual address was implemented in the
commit e66003e7be ("xen/riscv: introduce setup_initial_pages")
isn't safe enough as:
* enable_mmu() depends on hooking all exceptions
  and pagefault.
* Any exception other than pagefault, or not taking a pagefault
  causes it to malfunction, which means you will fail to boot
  depending on where Xen was loaded into memory.

Instead of the proposed way of switching to virtual addresses was
decided to use identity mapping for area which constains needed code
to switch from identity mapping and after switching to virtual addresses,
identity mapping is removed from page-tables in the following way:
search for top-most page table entry and remove it.

Fixes: e66003e7be ("xen/riscv: introduce setup_initial_pages")

---
Changes in V5:
 - update the algo of identity mapping removing.
 - introduce IDENT_AREA_SIZE.
 - introduce turn_on_mmu() function to enable and switch from 1:1 mapping.
 - fix typo in PGTBL_INITIAL_COUNT define.
 - update the comment above PGTBL_INITIAL_COUNT.
 - update the commit message.
---
Changes in V4:
 - remove definition of ARRAY_SIZE and ROUNDUP as <xen/macors.h> was introduced where these macros are located now.
 - update definition of PGTBL_INITIAL_COUNT
 - update the commit message
 - update the algo of identity mapping removing
---
Changes in V3:
 - remove unrelated to the patch changes ( SPDX tags in config.h ).
 - update definition of PGTBL_INITIAL_COUNT taking into account identity mapping.
 - refactor remove_identity_mapping() function.
 - add explanatory comments in xen.lds.S and mm.c.
 - update commit message.
 - move save/restore of a0/a1 registers to [PATCH v2 2/3] xen/riscv: introduce
   function for physical offset calculation.
---
Changes in V2:
  - update definition of PGTBL_INITIAL_COUNT and the comment above.
  - code style fixes.
  - 1:1 mapping for entire Xen.
  - remove id_addrs array becase entire Xen is mapped.
  - reverse condition for cycle inside remove_identity_mapping().
  - fix page table walk in remove_identity_mapping().
  - update the commit message.
  - add Suggested-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
  - save hart_id and dtb_addr before call MMU related C functions.
  - use phys_offset variable instead of doing calcultations to get phys offset
    in head.S file. ( it can be easily done as entire Xen is 1:1 mapped )
  - declare enable_muu() as __init.

Any reason you don't do the calculation right in a0?

Can't the last two be folded to

        slli     t0, t0, SATP_MODE_SHIFT

(I don't recall what li's valid value range is, so I'm not sure if

        li      t0, RV_STAGE1_MODE << SATP_MODE_SHIFT

would be an option.)

Everything else looks good to me now, but will of course want a
maintainer looking over.

Probably it was before. But you are right there is no any sense in
using of t0 in the current code.
I'll update that. Thanks.

Both of options will work but I prefer to use SLLI as LI expands into a
potentially long and inefficient shift-and-add sequence ( but in this
case I think this is not so important ).

Would it be better to send a new version now or wait for a response
from other maintainers?

Hard to tell. Maybe send a new version in the hope that that's what
then can go in.
