[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 0/7] ARMv7: Add HYP mode switching support

(for GIT URL and Changelog see below)
ARM CPUs with the virtualization extension have a new mode called HYP mode, which allows hypervisors to safely control and monitor guests. The current hypervisor implementations (KVM and Xen) require the kernel to be entered in that HYP mode.
This patch series introduces a configuration variable CONFIG_ARMV7_VIRT which enables code to switch all cores into HYP mode. This is done automatically during execution of the bootm command.
The process of switching into HYP mode requires the CPU to be in secure state initially when entering u-boot, it will then setup some register and switch to non-secure state. This requires the GIC to be programmed properly first. Explanations about the details are in the commit messages of the respective patches.
The patches are structured like this: 1/7: prepare header file 2/7: add monitor handler (assembly) 3/7: add per CPU non-secure switch routine (assembly) 4/7: add system wide non-secure setup and link to bootm command (C) 5/7: add SMP functionality 6/7: add HYP mode switching 7/7: enable code on Versatile Express TC2
Since up to patch 5/7 this code works on non-virtualization capable CPUs also and there has been a request, there is now a second configuration variable CONFIG_ARMV7_NONSEC, which omits the final HYP mode switch and just goes into non-secure SVC state. You can specify either (or none) of them, the code cares about the dependency.
The code aims to be as generic as possible, though currently it has only been tested on the Versatile Express TC-2 board. The last patch thus enables the feature for that board.
For convenience there is a GIT tree which you can pull these patches from ("hypmode_v3" branch): git://git.linaro.org/people/aprzywara/u-boot.git
Changes RFC..v1 * not a dedicated command anymore, code run by bootm & friends * protecting code with #ifdefs to avoid unnecessary inclusion and accidental crashing (when accessing restricted registers) * moving prototypes to header file to meet checkpatch recommendation * adding comment as proposed by Christoffer
Changes v1..v2 mostly style and code layout changes * restructure assembly code to live in a new file and not start.S * split smp, nonsec_init and hyp_init to be separate functions * used named constants from common header files * split C function to be more readable * extend comments to be more precise and elaborate * add provision to override GIC base address (needed for Arndale?) * add configuration variable to enable VExpress specific SMP code * use writel/readl for MMIO GIC accesses * remove superfluous isb instructions * more minor fixes
Changes v2..v3 * fix clobbering of GICC address actually spoiling the stack * do CNTFRQ setup in assembly per core (and not only once per SoC) * moving the new code files into arch/arm/cpu/armv7 * add config variable for doing non-secure switch only * use actual HYP and secure instructions mnemonics instead of the encoded byte sequence. This requires more recent compilers. * make the identification of the CPU core more robust and saner * use enum for error codes and rename them * lots of smaller layout and style fixes
Please review and comment! I am pretty sure I missed some of the comments from the earlier series, so if you find something that was mentioned before, feel free to repeat it.
Contributions and comments to support other boards are welcome.

armv7.h contains some useful constants, but also C prototypes. To include it also in assembly files, protect the non-assembly part appropriately.

A prerequisite for using virtualization is to be in HYP mode, which requires the CPU to be in non-secure state first. Add new file in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to hold a monitor handler routine which switches the CPU to non-secure state by setting the NS and associated bits. According to the ARM architecture reference manual this should not be done in SVC mode, so we have to setup a SMC handler for this. We create a new vector table to avoid interference with other boards. The MVBAR register will be programmed later just before the smc call.

I agree, but I wanted to stick to the u-boot nomenclature which uses "software interrupt" for that exception in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S. So I used both names to make it more clear to the u-boot reader. If I make a newer version, I will fix it in there.

While actually switching to non-secure state is one thing, another part of this process is to make sure that we still have full access to the interrupt controller (GIC). The GIC is fully aware of secure vs. non-secure state, some registers are banked, others may be configured to be accessible from secure state only. To be as generic as possible, we get the GIC memory mapped address based on the PERIPHBASE value in the CBAR register. Since this register is not architecturally defined, we check the MIDR before to be from an A15 or A7. For CPUs not having the CBAR or boards with wrong information herein we allow providing the base address as a configuration variable.
Now that we know the GIC address, we: a) allow private interrupts to be delivered to the core (GICD_IGROUPR0 = 0xFFFFFFFF) b) enable the CPU interface (GICC_CTLR[0] = 1) c) set the priority filter to allow non-secure interrupts (GICC_PMR = 0xFF)
Also we allow access to all coprocessor interfaces from non-secure state by writing the appropriate bits in the NSACR register.
The generic timer base frequency register is only accessible from secure state, so we have to program it now. Actually this should be done from primary firmware before, but some boards seems to omit this, so if needed we do this here with a board specific value. The Versatile Express board does not need this, so we remove the frequency from the configuration file here.
After having switched to non-secure state, we also enable the non-secure GIC CPU interface, since this register is banked.
Since we need to call this routine also directly from the smp_pen later (where we don't have any stack), we can only use caller saved registers r0-r3 and r12 to not mess with the compiler.

Since we need to call this routine also directly from the smp_pen later (where we don't have any stack), we can only use caller saved registers r0-r3 and r12 to not mess with the compiler.

regards, Nikolay Nikolaev

To actually trigger the non-secure switch we just implemented, call the switching routine from within the bootm command implementation. This way we automatically enable this feature without further user intervention.
The core specific part of the work is done in the assembly routine in nonsec_virt.S, introduced with the previous patch, but for the full glory we need to setup the GIC distributor interface once for the whole system, which is done in C here. The routine is placed in arch/arm/cpu/armv7 to allow easy access from other ARMv7 boards.
We check the availability of the security extensions first.
Since we need a safe way to access the GIC, we use the PERIPHBASE registers on Cortex-A15 and A7 CPUs and do some sanity checks. Board not implementing the CBAR can override this value via a configuration file variable.
Then we actually do the GIC enablement: a) enable the GIC distributor, both for non-secure and secure state (GICD_CTLR[1:0] = 11b) b) allow all interrupts to be handled from non-secure state (GICD_IGROUPRn = 0xFFFFFFFF)
The core specific GIC setup is then done in the assembly routine.
The actual bootm trigger is pretty small: calling the routine and doing some error reporting.

My apologies for not elaborating on these comments I didn't incorporate:
So, I don't like the idea of marrying a low-level routine with high level output. I don't want to constraint the usage of the routine by requiring an output channel. Also some parts may not be fatal for all users - someone could just try to switch and then behave differently if that failed - without bothering the user. May seem a bit over-engineered, but I like it better this way ;-)
If that is a show-stopper for you, I can change it, of course.
Regards, Andre.

I won't hold back my ack for the patch series based on this, but I do think it's over-engineered. I think at least just returning -1 for error and 0 for success (or even make it a bool) and just printing a generic error message is cleaner - the level of details as to why the switch to hyp/nonsec didn't work could then be debug statements that a board developer could enable with a "#define DEBUG 1" in the corresponding file.
But ok, we've had the conversation, if you still feel this is better and necessary, then I'll let it be.

Currently the non-secure switch is only done for the boot processor. To enable full SMP support, we have to switch all secondary cores into non-secure state also.
So we add an entry point for secondary CPUs coming out of low-power state and make sure we put them into WFI again after having switched to non-secure state. For this we acknowledge and EOI the wake-up IPI, then go into WFI. Once being kicked out of it later, we sanity check that the start address has actually been changed (since another attempt to switch to non-secure would block the core) and jump to the new address.
The actual CPU kick is done by sending an inter-processor interrupt via the GIC to all CPU interfaces except the requesting processor. The secondary cores will then setup their respective GIC CPU interface.
The address secondary cores jump to is board specific, we provide the value here for the Versatile Express board.

As I understand, the sysflags name is a versatile express specific register name that just happens to be used for the SMP boot address as well...

I am sorry, I thought I reasoned that already in an earlier mail: I don't want to introduce abstraction prematurely, so I wanted to refactor the code as soon as a second board gets supported. Which will probably be the Arndale, and also probably done by me ...
I still feel you're wrapping board specific logic into generic code, and that you should call out to a more generic function. Imagine an SOC that uses an implementation defined control register for this instead of a memory address...
Well, I can imagine quite some ways to do this, but in fact I'd like to focus on things that really exist ;-) My fear is that any abstraction I introduce now will not suffice for a future board and needs to be refactored then anyway.

The actual CPU kick is done by sending an inter-processor interrupt via the GIC to all CPU interfaces except the requesting processor. The secondary cores will then setup their respective GIC CPU interface.
The address secondary cores jump to is board specific, we provide the value here for the Versatile Express board.

You seem to have ignored my comment about using the sysflags name?
As I understand, the sysflags name is a versatile express specific register name that just happens to be used for the SMP boot address as well...
Therefore, this should really be CONFIG_SMP_BOOT_ADDR or something like that, at the very least.

again, if you disagreed with my previous comment, please comment on it and rationalize your choice.
I am sorry, I thought I reasoned that already in an earlier mail: I don't want to introduce abstraction prematurely, so I wanted to refactor the code as soon as a second board gets supported. Which will probably be the Arndale, and also probably done by me ...
Hmm, a big motivation for doing this is to make it clear what new boards need to do to support Hyp mode, and make it as easy as possible. We have already made the choice to make this code generic in virt-v7.c as opposed to vexpress.c (or whatever that file would be called), so I don't really understand your argument about being premature, to be completely honest.
I still feel you're wrapping board specific logic into generic code, and that you should call out to a more generic function. Imagine an SOC that uses an implementation defined control register for this instead of a memory address...
Well, I can imagine quite some ways to do this, but in fact I'd like to focus on things that really exist ;-) My fear is that any abstraction I introduce now will not suffice for a future board and needs to be refactored then anyway.
Sorry, but I don't see this. You need to do three very simple things:
get_smp_boot_addr set_smp_boot_addr kick_other_cpus
We can't hold back abstractions until we have a concrete example as a general principle, because we'd never make anything generic. We can only try to find the right balance between some abstraction and something concrete enough that it makes sense to users.
-Christoffer

For the KVM and XEN hypervisors to be usable, we need to enter the kernel in HYP mode. Now that we already are in non-secure state, HYP mode switching is within short reach.
While doing the non-secure switch, we have to enable the HVC instruction and setup the HYP mode HVBAR (while still secure).
The actual switch is done by dropping back from a HYP mode handler without actually leaving HYP mode, so we introduce a new handler routine in our new secure exception vector table.
In the assembly switching routine we save and restore the banked LR and SP registers around the hypercall to do the actual HYP mode switch.
The C routine first checks whether we are in HYP mode already and also whether the virtualization extensions are available. It also checks whether the HYP mode switch was finally successful. The bootm command part only adds and adjusts some error reporting.

this comment just confuses: either make it intelligent to support an older compiler or just get rid of these byte encodings. You can always disassemble the file and lookup the byte code with a modern compiler to get back to the byte encoding.
Well, I used a Debian 6 cross compiler before, which didn't support these instructions. After your remark I updated the system to Debian 7, but found it not appropriate to ask any user to do the same just to use a fixed, non-parametrized assembly instruction. I have the feeling that there are quite some users out there who cannot and don't want to easily update their compiler. So I decided to leave the workaround in the comment to give a hint to a quick fix.
By "making it intelligent" you mean a macro which does some version checking and inserts the .byte sequence if needed? Are there any archetypes of such code?
Regards, Andre.

ok, so if Debian's built-in cross compilers are indeed that old and we want to support those (that's ok with me), then let's fix it properly.

Yes, see arch/arm/include/asm/opcodes-*.h

Hello Andre,
-#ifdef CONFIG_ARMV7_NONSEC +#if defined(CONFIG_ARMV7_NONSEC) || defined(CONFIG_ARMV7_VIRT)
enum nonsec_virt_errors { NONSEC_VIRT_SUCCESS, NONSEC_ERR_NO_SEC_EXT, NONSEC_ERR_NO_GIC_ADDRESS, NONSEC_ERR_GIC_ADDRESS_ABOVE_4GB,
- VIRT_ALREADY_HYP_MODE,
- VIRT_ERR_NO_VIRT_EXT,
- VIRT_ERR_NOT_HYP_MODE
};
This looks weird to me. If you want to use enum, why don't you separate it like follows?
enum nonsec_errors { NONSEC_SUCCESS, NONSEC_ERR_NO_SEC_EXT, NONSEC_ERR_NO_GIC_ADDRESS, NONSEC_ERR_GIC_ADDRESS_ABOVE_4GB, };
enum virt_errors { VIRT_SUCCESS, VIRT_ALREADY_HYP_MODE, VIRT_ERR_NO_VIRT_EXT, VIRT_ERR_NOT_HYP_MODE };

enum nonsec_errors armv7_switch_nonsec(void); +enum virt_errors armv7_switch_hyp(void);
But in the first place, I like better to fix do_nonsec_virt_switch().

As for this part, I agreed on Christoffer's opinion:

I won't hold back my ack for the patch series based on this, but I do think it's over-engineered. I think at least just returning -1 for error and 0 for success (or even make it a bool) and just printing a generic error message is cleaner - the level of details as to why the switch to hyp/nonsec didn't work could then be debug statements that a board developer could enable with a "#define DEBUG 1" in the corresponding file.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

To enable hypervisors utilizing the ARMv7 virtualization extension on the Versatile Express board with the A15 core tile, we add the respective configuration variable.
