[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/3] efi_loader: ARM: add support for ARMV7_NONSEC=y
This series makes it possible to run EFI applications in non-secure mode. It allows me to run OpenBSD on the Technexion PICO-PI-IMX7 and Banana Pi boards using the PSCI implementation provided by U-Boot.
The second version avoids using r3 to pass the original stack pointer. For some reason that register gets clobbered on the Banana Pi. Instead this version just migrates SP_svc to SP_hyp.
This third version avoids saving r3 on the stack and fixes an include guard as suggested by Alexander Graf.
Mark Kettenis (3): ARM: HYP/non-sec: migrate stack efi_loader: ARM: run EFI payloads non-secure Revert "efi_loader: no support for ARMV7_NONSEC=y"
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/nonsec_virt.S | 2 ++ cmd/bootefi.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/README.uefi | 2 -- lib/efi_loader/Kconfig | 2 -- 4 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
The current code that switches into HYP mode doesn't bother to set up a stack for HYP mode. This doesn't work for EFI applications as they expect a usable stack. Fix this by migrating the stack pointer from SP_svc to SP_hyp while in Monitor mode. This restores the stack pointer when we drop into HYP mode.

If desired (and possible) switch into HYP mode or non-secure SVC mode before calling the entry point of an EFI application. This allows U-Boot to provide a usable PSCI implementation and makes it possible to boot kernels into hypervisor mode using an EFI bootloader.

I guess the following can happen:
- EL1 code (or SVC for AArch32) has its MMU enabled, and caches are on - Writes from EL1 are nicely sitting in the dcache - Enter EL2 (HYP) where the MMU is off, and thus the caches are too - The uncached accesses do not hit in the cache, and sh*t happens
dcache_disable also cleans to the PoC, making sure that everything is visible even when the MMU and caches are off. I have the strong feeling that dcache_enable is utterly useless as I don't think you install any page table at HYP (that code was never designed to run anything other than jumping into the kernel).
It would make a lot more sense if you installed id-mapped page tables at HYP too in order to enable the caches, and geta bit of performance back (otherwise anything you run at HYP will negatively compare to the speed of an anaemic snail stuck on sand).
Thanks,
M.

There actually is code in arch/arm/lib/cache-cp15.c to set up the page tables for HYP and enable the MMU. And it would run as part of the dcache_enable() call if CONFIG_ARMV7_LPAE was defined. But that isn't set on the boards I'm looking at. I'll have a go at enabling that option.
It would make a lot more sense if you installed id-mapped page tables at HYP too in order to enable the caches, and geta bit of performance back (otherwise anything you run at HYP will negatively compare to the speed of an anaemic snail stuck on sand).
On the Allwinner A20 it certainly does crawl; console output is really slow. Didn't notice it on the NXP i.MX7D board though. Anyway, thanks for the hint!

Yeah, you most definitely want to have that one, and LPAE is the only thing that makes sense if you have a virtualization-capable CPU.
It would make a lot more sense if you installed id-mapped page tables at HYP too in order to enable the caches, and geta bit of performance back (otherwise anything you run at HYP will negatively compare to the speed of an anaemic snail stuck on sand).

Or maybe Heinrich's QEMU version starts up in a different EL mode?

Are you sure it's the compiler that causes the breakage and not the linker? Apparently there was a recent change in binutils that affects sectipn alignment. See commit 792b204798453d96b00e0817e8472c19455e92a2 for a workaround. It wouldn't surprise me more tweaks like that are necessary.
Errors like out of bound accesses may become apparent or disappearing depending of generated addresses. So it may be by chance that we do not see the error with gcc 6.3.1. This does not imply that the code is correct.
Everything is possible. But there is very little C code involved here. It's mostly scary assembly code...
Cheers,
Mark

The second version avoids using r3 to pass the original stack pointer. For some reason that register gets clobbered on the Banana Pi. Instead this version just migrates SP_svc to SP_hyp.
This third version avoids saving r3 on the stack and fixes an include guard as suggested by Alexander Graf.
Looks great to me, but I'd like to see at least Heinrich give his reviewed-by before I pull it in :).

Please, keep in mind that we expect multiple EFI binaries to be executed in sequence. E.g. the first binary installs a driver. The second is the application using it.
Running iPXE's snp.efi binary shows changed behavior on the console. New characters are displayed in "slow motion" (3 characters per second). Setting up the network interface fails in iPXE.
Best regards

Hello Mark,
with this patch series running bootefi hello twice in sequence fails on the BananaPi.

Please, keep in mind that we expect multiple EFI binaries to be executed in sequence. E.g. the first binary installs a driver. The second is the application using it.
Running iPXE's snp.efi binary shows changed behavior on the console. New characters are displayed in "slow motion" (3 characters per second).
Cache disabled maybe?
Alex
Setting up the network interface fails in iPXE.

Yeah. Trying to enter non-secure mode when we're already in non-secure mode doesn't really work. We should skip the switching code in that case. Now checking whether we are in non-secure mode isn't really possible. But I guess we can set a variable and check it before we go down the switching codepath. With that in I can exit the OpenBSD bootloader and then reload and run it again. I'll include that fix in the next respin.

The same happens on my Banana Pi. But not on the imx7 board.

Hello Mark,
you might move the call to switch to non-secure mode to efi_init_obj_list().

I would actually prefer to keep it where it is. That way we have the option to move the object initialization to a different stage later on.
The only thing missing is really a check which level we're on. The aarch64 code does this with a current_el() == 3 condition.

As I replied to Heinrich, checking whether we're secure or not isn't simple as reading the SCR.NS bit will trap if we're in non-secure mode. But using a global variable to remember the state we're in, works and isn't too ugly.
I'm going to look into enabling the MMU for HYP over the weekend. I'll do another respin once I've figured that issue out.

Can you figure out something else? Like whether you're in SVC?

It might just be as simple as depending on LPAE in Kconfig when NS is set :)

Unfortunately not. On hardware with security extensions, but without virtualization extensions, we'll start out in secure SVC before running the first EFI payload and in non-secure SVC afterwards.

Please, keep in mind that we expect multiple EFI binaries to be executed in sequence. E.g. the first binary installs a driver. The second is the application using it.
Running iPXE's snp.efi binary shows changed behavior on the console. New characters are displayed in "slow motion" (3 characters per second). Setting up the network interface fails in iPXE.
The same happens on my Banana Pi. But not on the imx7 board.
Just for reference run the Banana Pi with only patch 3 (w/o patch 1 and 2) and you will see adequate speed in iPXE. And if you specify
setenv bootargs nosmp
you will be able to boot Linux via GRUB from your iSCSI drive. So this is not a deficiency of the board.

The update series I just posted makes things fast again. So far I haven't been able to build an iPXE EFI binary so that remains untested. Would be great if you could do that for me.
But even if iPXE still doesn't work, I'd argue that efi_loader support for armv7 that works in the most common case of booting an OS using an EFI bootloader is better than having no efi_loader support at all...

Mark
