[PATCH 1/5] arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Move env load addresses

According to Marvell's U-Boot description [1] current env load addresses overlaps with ATF RT services region and TEE. Because the ATF RT service and TEE region is going to be marked as secure and can't be overwritten, use different different addresses for envs.

Current loadaddr is not writable on Espressobin and 'loadb' command cause rebooting board. Marvell's U-Boot already set default loadaddr to value 0x06000000 [1] and after this change 'loadb' is working fine.

Boot scripts for existing Espressobin Linux distributions, like OpenWRT, expect that U-Boot set fdt_addr and kernel_addr envs. So add env aliases from fdt_addr_r and kernel_addr_r values.

Some distribution bootscripts append console env into boot cmdline. So define console env correctly to have early console access.

This is really suspicious. Why systemd has problems with control socket when console= parameter is specified on boot command line? And if console= parameter is problematic on command line, why console output is working fine? For me it looks like this variable controls something different, not (only) console output. Maybe some bootscript sets something more when it see u-boot env ${console} non-empty?
The device tree already has 'stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";' btw.
I see. But it does not initialize earlycon.

It sounds like a bug in systemd, this may be related: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13332
With ugly workarounds like: https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/commit/dd6ee0b06cd8df6204c...
This is easy for to me to work around, but note that this systemd version is the one shipping with current debian stable.

Can you check which parameter is causing problem? console=... or earlycon=... ? Also do you have /dev/ttyMV0 in your system?

So we need to strip one "console=", at least for debian's boot scripts: "setenv console ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000" and it works again, including earlycon.

this breaks booting debian with systemd for me: [ 4.632197] systemd-udevd[90]: Starting version 241 [ 4.639324] systemd-udevd[91]: Failed to create udev control event source: Operation not permitted
"env delete console" and it works again.
This is really suspicious. Why systemd has problems with control socket when console= parameter is specified on boot command line? And if console= parameter is problematic on command line, why console output is working fine? For me it looks like this variable controls something different, not (only) console output. Maybe some bootscript sets something more when it see u-boot env ${console} non-empty?
It sounds like a bug in systemd, this may be related: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13332
With ugly workarounds like: https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/commit/dd6ee0b06cd8df6204c...
This is easy for to me to work around, but note that this systemd version is the one shipping with current debian stable.
But this looks like to be related to command line 'console=null'.
Can you check which parameter is causing problem? console=... or earlycon=... ? Also do you have /dev/ttyMV0 in your system?
yup, it's there: crw--w---- 1 root tty 253, 0 Aug 26 15:09 /dev/ttyMV0
But I think it's related to console=null because it ends up as invalid: Your patch sets "console" to "console=...".

That would be flash-kernel: https://packages.qa.debian.org/f/flash-kernel.html

The last entry points to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783074
Which has:
I suppose hush doesn't have sufficient power to check for an existing console= in bootargs?
Not that I'm aware of.
So yeah...
Regards, Andre
Armbian has 'setenv bootargs "$console ...' https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/bootscript/boot.cmd
OpenWRT has 'setenv bootargs "${bootargs} ${console}"' https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/mvebu/image/gene...
So it seems that all expects that ${console} env contains 'console=tty...'
So we need to strip one "console=", at least for debian's boot scripts: "setenv console ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000" and it works again, including earlycon.

Only 18 out of +700 boards use it, and all of them ttySAC*, so probably just copy pasta. CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE looks like a leftover, it's not used anywhere except in those config headers. Some boards even define it, but don't use it, making it effectively dead.
On the other hand, check "git grep 'console='". So why not just add the earlycon to bootargs directly so it works everywhere?

The only useful thing about CONFIG_DEFAULT_CONSOLE and ${console} env is to propagate earlycon argument to kernel. As console kernel argument is already set via chosen/stdout in DTS.
Setting earlycon directly to ${bootargs} env does not work as basically all distribution scripts set/overwrite ${bootargs} on their own.
So we need to store earlycon argument into some other uboot env and then teach these distribution scripts to append that new uboot env into their bootargs...
Or is there any other way?

I don't know the answer to that, but as we've seen with $console, it's hard to get everyone on the same page.
But maybe it's not worth the hassle, since console works, and earlycon may only be interesting to ppl who know how to enable it anyway.

Pali,
thank you for all these espressobin fixes, much appreciated!
This isn't directly related to the patch I'm replying to, but since you seem to be syncing down- with upstream:
Upstream u-boot doesn't detect my sata ssd ("SATA link 0 timeout"), nor is it able to run debian's kernel (hangs after "Starting kernel"). Both work with armbian's downstream flash-image.bin.

Can you write which commands you have run to load & boot kernel? What are command line arguments for kernel?
Also have you reset env variables to default?

Oh sorry, I meant the first public version, the one with ddr3 memory. Which would be the V5 schematics iirc.

Can you write which commands you have run to load & boot kernel? What are command line arguments for kernel?
Also have you reset env variables to default?
Yeah, I do reset the full env when switching between the flash images.
For the upstream version: env default -a setenv ethaddr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv eth1addr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv eth2addr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv serverip 192.168.0.40 setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.2 saveenv
For the downstream version: env default -a env delete console setenv fdt_addr_r 0x6000000 setenv kernel_addr_r 0x7000000 setenv ramdisk_addr_r 0x1100000 setenv ethaddr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv eth1addr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv eth2addr f0:ad:4e:03:86:cd setenv serverip 192.168.0.40 setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.2 setenv fdt_addr 0x6000000 setenv kernel_addr 0x7000000 setenv loadaddr 0x8000000 setenv initrd_size 0x2000000 setenv initrd_addr 0x1100000 setenv scriptaddr 0x6d00000 setenv initrd_image uInitrd setenv image_name Image setenv boot_targets 'mmc0 usb sata mmc1' setenv boot_prefixes '/ /boot/' setenv bootcmd_mmc0 'setenv devnum 0; setenv devtype mmc; run scan_dev_for_boot;' setenv bootcmd_mmc1 'setenv devnum 1; setenv devtype mmc; run scan_dev_for_boot;' setenv bootcmd_sata 'setenv devnum 0; scsi scan; scsi dev 0; setenv devtype scsi; run scan_dev_for_boot;' setenv bootcmd_usb 'setenv devnum 0; usb start;setenv devtype usb; run scan_dev_for_boot;' setenv bootcmd 'for target in ${boot_targets}; do run bootcmd_${target}; done' setenv scan_dev_for_boot 'for prefix in ${boot_prefixes}; do echo ${prefix};run boot_a_script; done' setenv boot_a_script 'ext4load ${devtype} ${devnum}:1 ${scriptaddr} ${prefix}boot.scr;source ${scriptaddr};' saveenv
Debian's boot.scr relies on u-boot's distro boot. Downstream still fails to enable it (even managed to break my patch to enable it...), so most of my env is to make it compatible again so I can use an unmodified userland.
Debian's script is rather boring then:
$ strings /boot/boot.scr boot script # flash-kernel: bootscr.uboot-generic # Bootscript using the new unified bootcmd handling # Expects to be called with the following environment variables set: # devtype e.g. mmc/scsi etc # devnum The device number of the given type # bootpart The partition containing the boot files # distro_bootpart The partition containing the boot files # (introduced in u-boot mainline 2016.01) # prefix Prefix within the boot partiion to the boot files # kernel_addr_r Address to load the kernel to # fdt_addr_r Address to load the FDT to # ramdisk_addr_r Address to load the initrd to. # The uboot must support the booti and generic filesystem load commands. if test -n "${console}"; then setenv bootargs "${bootargs} console=${console}" setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=LABEL=espresso-root if test -z "${fk_kvers}"; then setenv fk_kvers '5.7.0-0.bpo.2-arm64' # These two blocks should be the same apart from the use of # ${fk_kvers} in the first, the syntax supported by u-boot does not # lend itself to removing this duplication. if test -n "${fdtfile}"; then setenv fdtpath dtbs/${fk_kvers}/${fdtfile} else setenv fdtpath dtb-${fk_kvers} if test -z "${distro_bootpart}"; then setenv partition ${bootpart} else setenv partition ${distro_bootpart} load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${kernel_addr_r} ${prefix}vmlinuz-${fk_kvers} \ && load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}${fdtpath} \ && load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${prefix}initrd.img-${fk_kvers} \ && echo "Booting Debian ${fk_kvers} from ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition}..." \ && booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdt_addr_r} load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${kernel_addr_r} ${prefix}vmlinuz \ && load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb \ && load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${prefix}initrd.img \ && echo "Booting Debian from ${devtype} ${devnum}:${partition}..." \ && booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdt_addr_r}

Debian's kernel is big, so it is needed to move also ramdisk_addr_r env variable. Following patch helped:

Do you really have espressobin v1? I saw hw schemas and diagrams only for V3, V4, V5 and V7. And I tested only V5 as I do not have any other revisions.
Oh sorry, I meant the first public version, the one with ddr3 memory. Which would be the V5 schematics iirc.

Can you write which commands you have run to load & boot kernel? What are command line arguments for kernel?
Also have you reset env variables to default?
Yeah, I do reset the full env when switching between the flash images.
Now I tried to boot openwrt kernel image and it is working fine on tested espressobin v5 unit. I compiled u-boot with all those a37xx patches.
I looked at Debian and booting Debian kernel with Debian initrd failed:

And after that Debian kernel with Debian initrd and FDT was booted:
Heh, nice. That indeed works!
Well minus one thing, see my reply to "arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Define console env".
Thanks, Andre

I guess it was broken also prior applying all those patches. So for now I do not have any fix for this. Somebody else would need to look at it.

Ok, I have sent a new version V2 of this patch series and updated first patch which fix also ramdisk_addr_r.
Well minus one thing, see my reply to "arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Define console env".
For now I have dropped this patch for V2, until it is solved/fixed in some way.

Excellent!

According to Marvell's U-Boot description [1] current env load addresses overlaps with ATF RT services region and TEE. Because the ATF RT service and TEE region is going to be marked as secure and can't be overwritten, use different different addresses for envs.

Could you please send such a mail with the TB tag for all the 4 out of 4 patches from this series? Reason being, that patchwork automatically collects these tags making it easier for me (and other maintainers) to keep track of these tags.
