[U-Boot] [PATCH v7 0/2] armv8: Support loading 32-bit OS in AArch32 execution state

This series is to support loading a 32-bit OS, the execution state will change from AArch64 to AArch32 when jumping to kernel. The architecture information will be got through checking FIT image, then U-Boot will load 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS automatically.
Spin-table method is used for secondary cores to load 32-bit OS. The architecture information will be got through checking FIT image and saved in the os_arch element of spin-table, then the secondary cores will check os_arch and jump to 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS automatically.
--------------------------------------- Changes in v7: - Move the call for armv8_switch_to_el2_m into the first patch.
Changes in v6: - Modified armv8_switch_to_el1(). It will always jump to ep when switching to AArch64 or AArch32 modes. - Make other platforms compatible with the new armv8_switch_to_el2() and armv8_switch_to_el1(). - Make secondary_switch_to_el1() always jump to ep when switching to AArch64 or AArch32 modes.
Changes in v5: - Modified armv8_switch_to_el2(). It will always jump to ep when switching to AArch64 or AArch32 modes. - Make secondary_switch_to_el2() always jump to ep when switching to AArch64 or AArch32 modes.
Changes in v4: - Correct config ARM64_SUPPORT_AARCH32. - Omit arch and ftaddr arguments. - Rename "xreg5" to "tmp". - Use xxx_RES1 to combine all RES1 fields in xxx register. - Use an immediate cmp directly. - Use #ifdef for CONFIG_ARM64_SUPPORT_AARCH32.
Changes in v3: - Comments the functions and the arguments. - Rename the real parameters. - Use the macros instead of the magic values. - Remove the redundant codes. - Clean up all of the mess in boot_jump_linux(). - Add CONFIG_ARM64_SUPPORT_AARCH32 to detect for some ARM64 system doesn't support AArch32 state. - Adjust the arguments for armv8_switch_to_el2_m and armv8_switch_to_el1_m.
Changes in v2: - armv8_switch_to_el2_aarch32() is removed. armv8_switch_to_el2_m is used to switch to AArch64 EL2 or AArch32 Hyp. - armv8_switch_to_el1_aarch32() is removed. armv8_switch_to_el1_m is used to switch to AArch64 EL1 or AArch32 SVC. - Support to call armv8_switch_to_el2_m and armv8_switch_to_el1_m.

Reviewers,

I've just tested these two patches on ARM's FVP Foundation and AEMv8 models and ARM's Juno board.
In all cases, with this patchset, the kernel fails to start. I see a continuous reboot, where the kernel starts then immediately resets:

So I wouldn't want to see these patches merged.

Alison,
Does Ryan have your 32-bit kernel image? I think kernel 32-bit doesn't support spin table. Please work with Ryan if your PSCI patch is required for the test.

York,
No, he don’t have my 32-bit kernel image. I am not sure he is using 32-bit kernel or 64-bit kernel.
Ryan,
I am not familiar with the boards you tested, so I have some questions, please help to work with me to find the root cause.
1. Are you loading 32-bit kernel or 64-bit kernel?
2. Is CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 defined on these boards?
3. Are you using some secure firmware on these boards? In detail, I want to know which EL is running on these boards when calling armv8_switch_to_el2 in arch/arm/lib/bootm.c. If it is already running in EL2 when calling armv8_swith_to_el2, the attached patch with PSCI enabled is needed.

Ryan,
I am not familiar with the boards you tested,
The FVP Foundation model is free to use from ARM. The entire software stack I'm using is available via ARM's portal:
https://community.arm.com/groups/arm-development-platforms
so I have some questions, please help to work with me to find the root cause.
Are you loading 32-bit kernel or 64-bit kernel?
I'm loading the "standard" 64-bit kernel. I was using a kernel based off 4.8:
https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/kernel-release.git/log/?h=l...
Is CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 defined on these boards?
I guess it is for the FVP models, if I grep for it, it's in my configs' .h file:
include/configs/vexpress_aemv8a.h:15:#define CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1
------------------------------------------------------- #ifdef CONFIG_TARGET_VEXPRESS64_BASE_FVP #ifndef CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING #error CONFIG_TARGET_VEXPRESS64_BASE_FVP requires CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING #endif #define CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 #endif -------------------------------------------------------
But it isn't in my Juno config.
Are you using some secure firmware on these boards? In detail, I
want to know which EL is running on these boards when calling armv8_switch_to_el2 in arch/arm/lib/bootm.c. If it is already running in EL2 when calling armv8_swith_to_el2, the attached patch with PSCI enabled is needed.
I'm using what ARM consider the "standard" boot flow. I'm using ARM Trusted Firmware to boot u-boot which in turn boots an arm64 kernel.
I'd expect my setup to still work after you've added patches to allow an aarch32 kernel to be booted, but I guess you're changing the boot path for non-aarch32 kernels also.
Regards, Ryan.

Alison Wang

Are you loading 32-bit kernel or 64-bit kernel?
I'm loading the "standard" 64-bit kernel. I was using a kernel based off 4.8:
https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/kernel- release.git/log/?h=latest-armlt-20161001
Is CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 defined on these boards?
I guess it is for the FVP models, if I grep for it, it's in my configs' .h file:
include/configs/vexpress_aemv8a.h:15:#define CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1
#ifdef CONFIG_TARGET_VEXPRESS64_BASE_FVP #ifndef CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING #error CONFIG_TARGET_VEXPRESS64_BASE_FVP requires CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING
#endif #define CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 #endif
But it isn't in my Juno config.
Are you using some secure firmware on these boards? In
detail, I
want to know which EL is running on these boards when calling armv8_switch_to_el2 in arch/arm/lib/bootm.c. If it is already running in EL2 when calling armv8_swith_to_el2, the attached patch with PSCI enabled is needed.
I'm using what ARM consider the "standard" boot flow. I'm using ARM Trusted Firmware to boot u-boot which in turn boots an arm64 kernel.
I'd expect my setup to still work after you've added patches to allow an aarch32 kernel to be booted, but I guess you're changing the boot path for non-aarch32 kernels also.
[Alison Wang] Of course, although I add these patches to support aarch32 kernel, I should make sure aarch64 kernel work too.
If you are using ARM Trusted Firmware to boot u-boot, I want to know what EL is running for your U-Boot. If it is running in EL2 or EL1, please add the attached patch to test again.
Thanks.
Regards, Ryan.

Alison Wang

Alison,
Does Ryan have your 32-bit kernel image? I think kernel 32-bit
doesn't
support spin table. Please work with Ryan if your PSCI patch is required for the test.

Changes in v7:
- Move the call for armv8_switch_to_el2_m into this patch.
Reviewers,
May I have your comment please? I intend to merge this set when the merge window opens.
I've just tested these two patches on ARM's FVP Foundation and AEMv8 models and ARM's Juno board.
In all cases, with this patchset, the kernel fails to start. I see a continuous reboot, where the kernel starts then immediately resets:
Starting kernel ...
resetting ...
So I wouldn't want to see these patches merged.
Regards, Ryan.

I guess I'm running U-Boot at EL2. U-Boot is BL33 and the ARM-TF docs say:
--------------------------------------------------------- BL33 (Non-trusted Firmware) execution
EL3 Runtime Software initializes the EL2 or EL1 processor context for normal- world cold boot, ensuring that no secure state information finds its way into the non-secure execution state. EL3 Runtime Software uses the entrypoint information provided by BL2 to jump to the Non-trusted firmware image (BL33) at the highest available Exception Level (EL2 if available, otherwise EL1). ---------------------------------------------------------
If it is running in EL2 or EL1, please add the attached patch to test again.
Yes, with the attached patch on top of your original 2 patches, everything works again. I tested on FVP Foundation and AEMv8 models and Juno R0, R1 and R2.
I don't think it would be good to stack these three patches the way they are presented in the upstream tree because it would not be bisect-able. Some re-work or re-ordering would be needed.
Note: I haven't attempted to understand what any of this code is doing, I'm just testing it with my standard boot flow to make sure nothing is broken for me.
Thanks.

Well, I'm not the maintainer of the tree, but I wouldn't want to have a tree that wasn't bootable at any point in the patch sequence. That's generally unacceptable on most projects I work on. Keeping the tree bisect-able to prove which commit caused a problem is considered to be a valuable tool.

Ryan,
Thanks for sharing your concern. I support git-bisect. It is valuable, no doubt. Let me try to understand the issue here. Without Alison's patches, everything boots OK. With her first set, does something break? My understanding is 32-bit OS can boot. If existing 64-bit OS fails, then she needs to fix it.

That's his point :). And I concur.

If you are referring the trusted firmware, we are following that direction. Just not fully up yet on some platform.
It is definitely not our intention to be cumbersome. Please point out where it went sideway beside the trusted firmware.

Yes, with the patches booting 64bit Linux with U-Boot running in EL2 breaks according to Ryan.
My understanding is 32-bit OS can boot. If existing 64-bit OS fails, then she needs to fix it.
That's his point :). And I concur.
Thanks for the confirmation.
(btw, you guys really should start thinking about following the ARM recommended boot model. It's pretty cumbersome to do everything different just for NXP)
If you are referring the trusted firmware, we are following that direction. Just not fully up yet on some platform.
It is definitely not our intention to be cumbersome. Please point out where it went sideway beside the trusted firmware.
Basically it boils down to the fact that you are the only platform that runs U-Boot in EL3 :).
If you want to keep the memory initialization inside of U-Boot, I think that's great. But you could either split that into SPL/EL2 or degrade yourself into EL2 as soon as possible by calling into an EL3 firmware. Whether you build that firmware as part of U-Boot (the stock one could be very trivial) or externally is not really too much of a problem.
Things like Alison's patches could then do a simple PSCI call into said EL3 firmware to call into 32bit code in EL2 for example.

Ryan,
I support Alison's patch order for her 32-bit patch sets. This feature doesn't exist before her first set. It is functional if you run U-Boot at EL3 after the first patch.
Which I don't do. I follow the boot flow recommended by ARM and it doesn't work for that setup, which I don't think is the right thing to do.
It gets EL2 working after the 2nd set. If there is room to clarify in the commit message, please kindly suggest.
Well, I'm not the maintainer of the tree, but I wouldn't want to have a tree that wasn't bootable at any point in the patch sequence. That's generally unacceptable on most projects I work on. Keeping the tree bisect-able to prove which commit caused a problem is considered to be a valuable tool.

[Alison Wang] Thanks for all your comments.
For the issue about the tree would not be bisect-able, I have a solution. Actually it is the root cause that 64-bit kernel could not boot up when U-Boot is running in EL2. I will move these codes from the third patch to the first patch.
ENTRY(armv8_switch_to_el2) switch_el x5, 1f, 0f, 0f -0: ret + /* + * x3 is kernel entry point or switch_to_el1 + * if CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 is defined. + * When running in EL2 now, jump to the + * address saved in x3. + */ +0: br x3 1: armv8_switch_to_el2_m x3, x4, x5 ENDPROC(armv8_switch_to_el2)
ENTRY(armv8_switch_to_el1) switch_el x5, 0f, 1f, 0f -0: ret + + /* + * x3 is kernel entry point. When running in EL1 + * now, jump to the address saved in x3. + */ +0: br x3 1: armv8_switch_to_el1_m x3, x4, x5 ENDPROC(armv8_switch_to_el1)
With this re-order, the bitsect issue will be fixed and there is not a point that kernel could not boot up.
If you all agree with this re-order, I will send out the v8 patch includes the first, second and third patches.

That sounds perfect.

I haven't tried to understand this code, so I can't say if that order will work or not, but I'm very happy to test it if you produce a series like this.

Spin-table method is used for secondary cores to load 32-bit OS. The architecture information will be got through checking FIT image and saved in the os_arch element of spin-table, then the secondary cores will check os_arch and jump to 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS automatically.
