Re: mainline/master bisection: baseline.login on meson-sm1-khadas-vim3l

[Guillaume Tucker]

Hello Marc,

Please see the bisection report below about a boot failure on
meson-sm1-khadas-vim3l on mainline.  It seems to only be
affecting kernels built with CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES=y.

Reports aren't automatically sent to the public while we're
trialing new bisection features on kernelci.org but this one
looks valid.

There's no output in the log, so the kernel is most likely
crashing early.  Some more details can be found here:

  https://kernelci.org/test/case/id/6034bed3b344e2860daddcc8/

Please let us know if you need any help to debug the issue or try
a fix on this platform.

Best wishes,
Guillaume

Thanks for the heads up.

There is actually a fundamental problem with the patch you bisected
to: it provides no guarantee that the point where we enable the EL2
MMU is in the idmap and, as it turns out, the code we're running from
disappears from under our feet, leading to a translation fault we're
not prepared to handle.

How does it work with 4kB pages? Luck.

Do you mind giving the patch below a go? It does work on my vim3l and
on a FVP, so odds are that it will solve it for you too.

Thanks,

	M.

There may be a fascinating explanation for it, but luck works
too.  It really seems to be booting happily with 4k pages:

Sure, and that worked here as well:

and here's the test branch where I applied your fix, for
completeness:

Oh, I know it boots fine with 4k, that's what I used everywhere.
We're just lucky that the bit of code that deals with the MMU happens
to *also* be in the idmap. With 64k pages, it gets pushed further down
the line, and bad things happen. Short of explicit statements in the
code, luck rules.

Will do. Mind if I credit you too for the testing?
