[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 0/4] RISC-V S-mode support

This patchset allows us runing u-boot in S-mode which is useful on platforms where M-mode runtime firmware is an independent firmware and u-boot is used as last stage OS bootloader.
The patchset based upon git://git.denx.de/u-boot-riscv.git and is tested on QEMU in both M-mode and S-mode.
For S-mode testing, we have used u-boot.bin as payload of latest BBL (at commit 6ebd0f2a46255d0c76dad3c05b16c1d154795d26) applied with following changes:

Changes since v4: - Rebased series based on commit 52923c6db7f00e0197ec894c8c1bb8a7681974bb of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-riscv.git - Added a patch to remove redundant a2 store on DRAM base. This store was creating problem booting U-Boot in S-mode using BBL.
Changes since v3: - Replaced 'u-boot' with 'U-Boot' in commit message - Dropped 'an' in RISCV_SMODE kconfig option help message - Added appropriate #ifdef in arch/riscv/lib/interrupts.c
Changes since v2: - Dropped 'default n" from RISCV_SMODE kconfig option - Replaced '-smode_' in defconfig names with '_smode_'
Changes since v1: - Rebased upon latest git://git.denx.de/u-boot-riscv.git - Add details in cover letter for running u-boot in S-mode using BBL

This patch adds kconfig option RISCV_SMODE to run U-Boot in S-mode. When this opition is enabled we use s<xyz> CSRs instead of m<xyz> CSRs.
It is important to note that there is no equivalent S-mode CSR for misa and mhartid CSRs so we expect M-mode runtime firmware (BBL or equivalent) to emulate misa and mhartid CSR read.
In-future, we will have more patches to avoid accessing misa and mhartid CSRs from S-mode.

When u-boot runs in S-mode, the M-mode runtime firmware (BBL or equivalent) uses memory range in 0x80000000 to 0x80200000. Due to this, we cannot use 0x80000000 as SYS_TEXT_BASE when running in S-mode. Instead for S-mode, we use 0x80200000 as SYS_TEXT_BASE.
Even Linux RISC-V kernel ignores/reserves memory range 0x80000000 to 0x80200000 because it runs in S-mode.

This patch adds S-mode defconfigs for QEMU virt machine so that we can run u-boot in S-mode on QEMU using M-mode runtime firmware (BBL or equivalent).

Currently, the RISC-V U-Boot is saving a2 register at CONFIG_SYS_DRAM_BASE in start.S which does not make sense because there is no information passed by previous booting stage in a2 register.
This patch removes redundant a2 store on DRAM base.

This is weird. I remember these two lines were already removed by Lukas's patch series before? Did not have time to dig out the history though.

You are correct, however I removed it again, because I did not want to break Rick's board. He did add a commit to the last pull request that removes these two lines and adjusts his board accordingly, but it is not in the current one.
Thanks, Lukas

Hi Rick,
If its fine with you then please take PATCH 1-to-3
The PATCH 4 "riscv: Remove redundant a2 store on DRAM base in start.S" you can drop and merge a better solution at your end.
