Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/5] kho: Do not translate the handover FDT address in is_kho_boot()
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 08:10:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-196855@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103080926.2079-2-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>
> is_kho_boot() only has to say whether a handover FDT was recorded, but
> it asks kho_get_fdt() for one and so converts kho_in.fdt_phys with
> phys_to_virt() just to throw the pointer away. Both callers use it as a
> boolean and never dereference the result.
>
> On riscv64 that conversion is not valid yet when efi_init() reaches it:
> setup_vm() leaves kernel_map.va_pa_offset at 0 and setup_bootmem()
> assigns it later, so a handover boot that came through UEFI panics in
> linear_mapping_pa_to_va(). Only debug builds fail -- without
> CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL __va() degenerates to "phys + 0" and the boolean
> stays correct -- but the panic also goes unnoticed without an earlycon.
>
> Check the physical address instead. Nothing needs the translation, and
> architectures stay free to bring their linear mapping up whenever they
> like.
