It seems that the PAGE_OFFSET is _not_ the start of kernel memory
in linear address space on your platform, I think it may not be a correct
usage, even for uClinux.

hi Ming,
Seems CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is not configurabe in "make menuconfig".
And I found CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000 for all below configs...
$ make at91_dt_defconfig; grep  CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make ep93xx_defconfig; grep  CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make imx_v4_v5_defconfig; grep CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make mxs_defconfig; grep CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make omap2plus_defconfig; grep CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make s3c6400_defconfig; grep CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
$ make at91x40_defconfig; grep CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET .config
( at91x40_defconfig is also arm7tdmi )

Regards,
Axel

Firstly it can be configured via VMSPLIT_3GVMSPLIT_2G/VMSPLIT_1G.

Secondly, configurable or not isn't the point, and maybe some uclinux
platforms do not use CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET at all, but they should
set it as a reasonable value or at least be below than the start link
address of vmlinux.

Hi Ming,

I found in arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h:
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is not used if !CONFIG_MMU.
So looks like setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to other value still won't work.

Thanks,
Axel

This seems like the simplest solution, but it may mean you still have
crap in /proc/kallsyms.

Does it work for you?

Thanks,
Rusty.

Yes, it should work, but I am wondering if perf can work on uClinux.

Axel, could you post your .config?

Hi Ming,

I have patches on top of 3.12 to support gpl32700 SoC.
So you cannot find this platform on mainline kernel.
I havn't tried perf, below is my config for your reference:

I doubt CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G/CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET isn't
used at all in your unmerged patchset, also your link script should
be different with in-tree arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, otherwise
you may put all your kernel symbols after 0xC00000000.

Maybe you need to not define PAGE_OFFSET and let it be
PHYS_OFFSET at default, also VMSPLIT_3G shouldn't have
been there on non-MMU linux.

OK, unless there are other platforms which have this issue, I'll
leave it with you to hold this patch for merge with your SoC.

Hi Rusty,

I don't have other noMMU platform to test.
But I think this issue impacts various !CONFIG_MMU platforms:
We have CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000 in various default configs.
For !CONFIG_MMU case, it just don't use the CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET setting.
So use CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols looks wrong to me for all
!CONFIG_MMU cases.

Below is PAGE_OFFSET setting for !CONFIG_MMU case:
(arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h)

#ifndef PHYS_OFFSET
#define PHYS_OFFSET             UL(CONFIG_DRAM_BASE)
#endif

#ifndef END_MEM
#define END_MEM                 (UL(CONFIG_DRAM_BASE) + CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE)
#endif

#ifndef PAGE_OFFSET
#define PAGE_OFFSET             (PHYS_OFFSET)
#endif

My patchs for gpl327xx SoC is still in very early stage.
I think you should send your fix upstream because I think it impacts other
noMMU platforms (for above reason).

Thanks,
Axel

I suggest to do it when we are clear behind the break.

As I mentioned, no matter what PAGE_OFFSET is, if you link vmlinux
from the address of PAGE_OFFSET(that is what arm's link script in tree
does), the filter won't break anything.

I don't know what the original problem is, but for my Cortex-M3 machine
(ie. !MMU) I also have CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000. Didn't see this
resulting in any problems although the value looks bogus. (The range
0x90000000-0xdfffffff is reserved on my SoC. Trying to read from there
with the debugger fails with a message "Could not read memory.")

Hi Ming,

commit f6537f2f "scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space",
uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET as kernel_start_addr.
However, for !CONFIG_MMU case we have :
    PAGE_OFFSET != CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET.

That is why I think the filter breaks !MMU platforms.

Axel

Yes, it is the cause, and strictly speaking, commit f6537f2f is wrong,
but triggered with bogus CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET if !CONFIG_MMU.

We can fix it either by Rusty's patch or removing the bogus
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET for !CONFIG_MMU.

Rusty, maybe we need revert commit f6537f2f "scripts/kallsyms: filter
symbols not in kernel address space", since CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET
may be bogus on !MMU or not defined on ARCHs(most of 64bit arch,
no regression report because scripts/kallsyms may get zero
kernel_start_addr)

As I thought of, another way for fixing original problem is to define a RO
global variable in kernel and set its value as PAGE_OFFSET, then let
scripts/kallsyms use it as kernel start address, or do you other
suggestions?

For me on Cortex-R7 (nommu) f6537f2f breaks boot (Oops very early on...)
and reverting it fixes the problem... However, as you note, we have a
'bogus' CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET (0xC0000000) for !MMU so another approach would
be to fix that...

I've tested the patch below and it solves the ARM side of things - so
gives you an option other than a complete revert. Happy to put this in to
RMK's patch system if you'd prefer not to have to revert and he's happy
with the patch.

I think this is the right solution because it then means that this symbol
has the same meaning whether on MMU or !MMU - and getting rid of these
kinds of gratuitous variances are the only way that !MMU is going to
become less fragile.

The patch only fixes problem on arm, and other !MMU&&!ARM archs
should be affected too.

Also there is no CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET defined for some ARCHs,
such as 64bit ARCHs.

Currently, I suggest to filter only on ARM as attachment patch if we plan
to merge Jonathan's patch, otherwise a more complicated approach has
to be figured out  to do the filter(such as, define a readonly symbol in
kernel to store PAGE_OFFSET, and let scripts/kallsyms use it for
filtering).

I'm happy with that approach, though allowing only ARM seems a bit
conservative - is it the only architecture we actually expect to work?

Hi Ming,
You missed "; then" in the end of if statement in your patch.

So I got below error with your patch:

Hi Ming,
Both your patch and Jonathan's patch are still not in linux-next.
Any chance to resend the patchs to RMK's patch system?

Thanks,

kernel BUG at kernel/kallsyms.c:222!

[Ming Lei]

Hi Axel,

I am fine to resend it to RMK's patch system, but I am not sure
if Russell would like to host it.

Maybe it is better to push it via Rusty's tree since the change is only
on scripts/, and it doesn't depend on the 1st one.

Rusty, could you pick up the patch with title of
"scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for arm"?


Thanks,

OK, and I added the correct Fixes: line so the stable people can track
it properly:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>
Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Fixes: f6537f2f0eba4eba3354e48dbe3047db6d8b6254
Singed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

BTW, you misspelled Signed-off-by :)

Applied,
Rusty.
