This series is a preparatory remoteproc cleanup split out from review of
the AMD BRAM-based remoteproc series.
During review, there was a request to move the duplicated plain
ioremap_wc()/iounmap() carveout callbacks into common code and to
factor the "missing resource table is OK" ELF parsing path into a
common helper as well. There was also a request to send that cleanup as
its own patchset first, with the AMD BRAM series respun afterwards on
top once this cleanup is merged.
This version keeps the same overall cleanup goals as v2, but reworks
the optional resource-table pieces based on follow-up review:
- reshape the optional resource-table helper in patch 4 into the thin
parse_fw() wrapper form suggested on the thread
- switch the patch 5 clients over to that helper shape directly,
without post-helper rproc->table_ptr checks
- keep the driver-local parse_fw() wrappers and their existing log
messages and severity choices
- retain as much of the existing per-driver parse_fw() logic and code
placement as possible while moving the missing-table handling
through the shared helper
This series now does that in five patches:
1. add common subsystem-private callbacks for the exact-match
wc-ioremap carveout case
2. switch the in-tree exact-match users over to those callbacks
3. mark carveouts mapped through the shared wc-ioremap helper as
iomem so the framework uses the proper I/O accessors
4. add a common helper for drivers that treat a missing ELF resource
table as optional while keeping per-driver logging decisions local
5. switch the matching in-tree drivers over to that helper while
keeping thin local parse_fw() wrappers
For the carveout map/unmap cleanup, this series covers the exact-match
users called out in review: xlnx_r5_remoteproc, rcar_rproc,
st_remoteproc, stm32_rproc, imx_rproc, and imx_dsp_rproc. The zynqmp R5
TCM mapping path is left alone because it also clears the mapped memory
and is not an exact match.
For the optional resource-table handling, this series converts
xlnx_r5_remoteproc, rcar_rproc, stm32_rproc, imx_rproc, and
imx_dsp_rproc. st_remoteproc is intentionally left unchanged because its
parse_fw() callback also builds carveouts and is therefore not a direct
match for the helper introduced here.
Changes in v3:
- rework patch 4 so the optional resource-table helper matches the
thin-wrapper form suggested in review
- note that patch 4 still triggers a checkpatch --strict warning for
the flow-control macro form, but that implementation follows the
maintainer's review suggestion for the thin parse_fw() wrapper shape
- update patch 5 to use that helper shape directly in the client
parse_fw() callbacks
- drop the post-helper rproc->table_ptr checks from the converted
drivers
- keep the converted parse_fw() wrappers otherwise close to their
existing structure and placement
- test xlnx_r5_remoteproc on the latest tree with firmware images
both with and without an ELF resource table
Changes in v2:
- split the mem->is_iomem change out into a separate patch
- add a common error message on ioremap_wc() failure
- drop logging from the optional resource-table helper
- keep driver-local parse_fw() wrappers to preserve per-platform
missing-resource-table logging policy
Ben Levinsky (5):
remoteproc: add common wc-ioremap carveout callbacks
remoteproc: switch exact-match drivers to wc-ioremap callbacks
remoteproc: mark wc-ioremap carveouts as iomem
remoteproc: add helper for optional ELF resource tables
remoteproc: switch drivers to optional resource-table helper

Several remoteproc drivers open-code the same ioremap_wc() and
iounmap() callbacks for carveout mappings. Add subsystem-private
helpers in remoteproc_internal.h so those drivers can share the same
implementation.
Keep this change behavior-neutral. The helper now emits a common error
message on ioremap_wc() failure, but leaves mem->is_iomem handling to a
follow-on patch so that the behavioral change can be justified
separately.

Replace the exact-match carveout map and unmap callbacks in the
existing remoteproc drivers with the common wc-ioremap helpers. This
covers xlnx_r5_remoteproc, rcar_rproc, st_remoteproc, stm32_rproc,
imx_rproc, and imx_dsp_rproc.
Leave the zynqmp R5 TCM callbacks alone because they also clear the
mapped memory and are therefore not exact matches for the shared
helpers.

Carveouts registered through the shared wc-ioremap helper are backed by
I/O memory, but rproc_da_to_va() only reports that to its callers when
mem->is_iomem is set on the carveout.
Without that flag, the remoteproc ELF loader and coredump paths can
fall back to normal memcpy()/memset() accessors instead of the I/O
helpers used for iomapped memory.
Mark shared wc-ioremap carveouts as iomem so the framework uses the
proper memcpy_toio(), memset_io(), and memcpy_fromio() accessors for
these regions.

Add a helper macro around rproc_elf_load_rsc_table() for thin parse_fw()
wrappers that treat a missing ELF resource table as optional while
keeping per-driver logging decisions local to the caller of
rproc_elf_load_rsc_table_optional().

Use the shared optional resource-table helper in the remoteproc drivers
that already treat a missing resource table as non-fatal:
xlnx_r5_remoteproc, rcar_rproc, stm32_rproc, imx_rproc, and
imx_dsp_rproc.
Keep thin local parse_fw() wrappers in each driver so the helper only
centralizes the return-value handling while each platform retains
control over whether the missing-table case is logged and at
what severity.

remoteproc: add common wc-ioremap carveout callbacks
This commit adds common subsystem-private helpers to avoid open-coding
carveout mapping callbacks in various remoteproc drivers. The change
centralizes the ioremap_wc and iounmap operations along with their
error logging.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this format specifier match the variable type?
The %pa specifier expects a phys_addr_t pointer, but &mem->dma is a
dma_addr_t pointer. If phys_addr_t and dma_addr_t have different sizes
(for example, 64-bit DMA and 32-bit physical addresses on a 32-bit system),
vsprintf could read the wrong number of bytes and potentially print
unrelated data in the error log.
Should this use %pad instead to properly format the dma_addr_t pointer?

remoteproc: switch exact-match drivers to wc-ioremap callbacks
Replace the exact-match carveout map and unmap callbacks in the
existing remoteproc drivers with the common wc-ioremap helpers. This
covers xlnx_r5_remoteproc, rcar_rproc, st_remoteproc, stm32_rproc,
imx_rproc, and imx_dsp_rproc.
Leave the zynqmp R5 TCM callbacks alone because they also clear the
mapped memory and are therefore not exact matches for the shared
helpers.

[Severity: Medium]
Does replacing the stm32 callback with the common helper regress its error
logging?
The original stm32_rproc_mem_alloc() function correctly used %pad for
mem->dma:
dev_err(dev, "Unable to map memory region: %pad+0x%zx\n",
&mem->dma, mem->len);
However, the new rproc_mem_entry_ioremap_wc() helper uses %pa:
dev_err(&rproc->dev, "Unable to map memory region: %pa+%zx\n",
&mem->dma, mem->len);
Since mem->dma is a dma_addr_t, and %pa expects a phys_addr_t *, could this
result in reading the wrong number of bytes on platforms where
sizeof(dma_addr_t) != sizeof(phys_addr_t)?
This could combine the dma and adjacent len fields, printing a garbage
address in the log.

Author: Ben Levinsky <ben.levinsky@amd.com>
remoteproc: mark wc-ioremap carveouts as iomem
Carveouts registered through the shared wc-ioremap helper are backed by
I/O memory, but rproc_da_to_va() only reports that to its callers when
mem->is_iomem is set on the carveout. This patch marks shared wc-ioremap
carveouts as iomem so the framework uses the proper I/O memory accessors.

While reviewing this, I noticed a few pre-existing issues in the remoteproc
core.
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c:rproc_alloc() {
...
INIT_WORK(&rproc->crash_handler, rproc_crash_handler_work);
...
}
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is there a missing cancellation for the
crash_handler work item during teardown?
During device removal, rproc_del() and rproc_free() are called, ultimately
triggering rproc_type_release() to free the rproc object via kfree(rproc).
The framework does not appear to call cancel_work_sync(&rproc->crash_handler)
during this teardown sequence.
If a hardware interrupt reports a crash right before or during device
unbinding, could the pending work item execute rproc_crash_handler_work()
after the rproc struct has been freed, resulting in a use-after-free?
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_debugfs.c:rproc_carveouts_show() {
struct rproc *rproc = seq->private;
struct rproc_mem_entry *carveout;
list_for_each_entry(carveout, &rproc->carveouts, node) {
seq_puts(seq, "Carveout memory entry:\n");
...
}
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this list traversal lack
proper locking?
The rproc_carveouts_show() function traverses the rproc->carveouts list
without holding rproc->lock or using RCU primitives.
Concurrently, rproc_shutdown() can be triggered (e.g., via a sysfs write
to the state file), which executes rproc_resource_cleanup(). This removes
entries from the rproc->carveouts list and calls kfree() on them.
If a user reads the debugfs file while a shutdown is in progress, could the
concurrent list mutation cause the debugfs read to dereference a freed
pointer, leading to a use-after-free?
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c:rproc_da_to_va() {
...
list_for_each_entry(carveout, &rproc->carveouts, node) {
int offset = da - carveout->da;
...
/* try next carveout if da is too large */
if (offset + len > carveout->len)
continue;
...
}
[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this bounds check protect against
integer overflow?
Since offset is an int and len is a size_t, could an extremely large len
(e.g., SIZE_MAX) provided by malformed firmware cause offset + len to
overflow the size_t type and wrap around to a small value?
This could cause the bounds check to evaluate to false, bypassing the
protection and returning a valid pointer inside the carveout.
When rproc_elf_load_segments() uses this returned pointer, could it execute
memcpy() or memset() with massively overflowed lengths, resulting in an
out-of-bounds write?

remoteproc: add helper for optional ELF resource tables
This commit introduces a helper macro around rproc_elf_load_rsc_table. It is
designed for drivers that treat a missing ELF resource table as optional while
allowing the caller to maintain local logging control.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this macro hide control flow in a way that forces the caller to return
unexpectedly?
Using explicit return statements inside a GNU C statement expression does not
yield a value to the expression itself. Instead, it forces the function
invoking the macro to return immediately.
If callers use this macro as though it evaluates to a return code, any trailing
statements in the caller will become unreachable dead code. Additionally, if a
calling function acquires a lock or allocates memory before using this macro,
the hidden return would skip the cleanup path and cause a resource leak.
Would it be safer to replace this macro with a standard inline function, or
change the statement expression to evaluate to the integer value rather than
forcing an explicit return?

remoteproc: switch drivers to optional resource-table helper
This commit updates several remoteproc drivers to use the new shared
rproc_elf_load_rsc_table_optional() helper for handling optional resource
tables.

[Severity: Medium]
Is this description entirely accurate? Prior to this patch, drivers like
imx_dsp_rproc and rcar_rproc completely ignored all errors from
rproc_elf_load_rsc_table() and unconditionally returned 0.
The new rproc_elf_load_rsc_table_optional() macro propagates non--EINVAL
errors (such as -ENOMEM). While this propagation is likely a functional
improvement, it is a behavior change for these drivers rather than just
centralizing the return-value handling. Should this change in error
propagation be explicitly documented in the commit message?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this leave the trailing 'return 0;' unreachable?
Looking at the definition of rproc_elf_load_rsc_table_optional() in
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_internal.h:
#define rproc_elf_load_rsc_table_optional(rproc, fw, dev_func, fmt, ...) \
({ \
int ret = rproc_elf_load_rsc_table(rproc, fw); \
if (ret == -EINVAL) { \
dev_func(&rproc->dev, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
return 0; \
} else { \
return ret; \
} \
})
Because the macro uses explicit return statements within the statement
expression, it exits the enclosing function entirely. This hides the control
flow and renders the trailing 'return 0;' dead code in every driver modified
by this patch.

Thank you for this work, much appreciated! I want to test the changes to
the Renesas R-Car driver but can only do so early next week due to
travels. I hope I have time for review comments earlier, though.
Thanks and happy hacking,
Wolfram

This set looks good to me. I am fine with the checkpatch warning on the macro -
given the redundancy it avoids, I think it can be tolerated.
Wolfram has already indicated he wanted to test these changes - Arnaud, Daniel
and Peng, please do the same for your platforms.
Thanks,
Mathieu
