[PATCHv4 00/10] CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL for arm64

[PATCHv4 00/10] CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL for arm64

[Laura Abbott]

Hi,

This is v4 of the series to add CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL for arm64. This mostly
expanded on __pa_symbol conversion with a few new sites found. There's also
some reworking done to avoid calling __va too early. __va relies on having
memstart_addr set so very early code in early_fixmap_init and early KASAN
initialization can't just call __va(__Ipa_symbol(...)) to get the linear map
alias. I found this while testing with DEBUG_VM.

All of this could use probably use more testing under more configurations.
KVM, Xen, kexec, hibernate should all be tested.

Thanks,
Laura

[PATCHv4 07/10] kexec: Switch to __pa_symbol

[Laura Abbott]

__pa_symbol is the correct api to get the physical address of kernel
symbols. Switch to it to allow for better debug checking.

I assume __pa_symbol is faster than __pa, but it still need some testing
on all arches which support kexec.

But seems long long ago there is a commit e3ebadd95cb in the commit log
I see below from:
"we should deprecate __pa_symbol(), and preferably __pa() too - and
 just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which is is more readable and has
 nicer semantics."

But maybe in modern code __pa_symbol is prefered I may miss background.
virt_to_phys still sounds more readable now for me though.

There has been a lot of history with the various definitions.
__pa_symbol used to be x86 specific.

Now what we have is that __pa_symbol is just __pa(RELOC_HIDE(x));

Now arguably that whole reloc hide thing should happen by architectures
having a non-inline version of __pa as was done in the commit you
mention.  But at this point there appears to be nothing wrong with
changing a __pa to a __pa_symbol it might make things a tad more
reliable depending on the implementation of __pa.

Then it is safe and reasonable, thanks for the clarification.
