[RFT 0/2] RISC-V: handle missing "no-map" properties for OpenSBI's PMP protected regions

[Conor Dooley]

Hey folks,

I was kinda sitting around hoping that someone who cared about
hibernation would decide to go and work on some patches that permitted
using it without having to use NONPORTABLE, but that has not yet
happened so here I am.

I've marked this RFT as I have not got a setup to test hibernation on a
system that suffers from the OpenSBI issue, nor have I used crash
kernels at all.

Thanks,
Conor.

[RFT 1/2] RISC-V: handle missing "no-map" properties for OpenSBI's PMP protected regions

[Conor Dooley]

Add an erratum for versions [v0.8 to v1.3) of OpenSBI which fail to add
the "no-map" property to the reserved memory nodes for the regions it
has protected using PMPs.

Our existing fix sweeping hibernation under the carpet by marking it
NONPORTABLE is insufficient as there are other ways to generate
accesses to these reserved memory regions, as Petr discovered [1]
while testing crash kernels & kdump.

Intercede during the boot process when the afflicted versions of OpenSBI
are present & set the "no-map" property in all "mmode_resv" nodes before
the kernel does its reserved memory region initialisation.

I would check that name != NULL before strncmp.

Otherwise the patch looks good to me:

You can add:

Reviewed-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com>

I just have one question though (that we discussed privately already): 
should we fix openSBI in the kernel? If yes, what makes a bug worth 
being fixed in the kernel?

Thanks,

I would suggest to create an enum struct for the SBI Imp ID in the sbi.h file. What do you think?

I'm not really sure what the advantage of doing so is.

The macro SBI_IMP_OPENSBI seems weird (I would read it as "SBI Implementation OpenSBI"). However, if we implement an enum struct for SBI_IMP_ID (There are numerous IDs available), the macro can be abbreviated to OpenSBI. By doing this, the conditional checking of the implementation ID would be more readable, as shown below:
if (sbi_firmware_id != OPENSBI)

That is what it is though, so I don't see what's weird about that.

Ohh I know, but I didn't see the point adding those when I was only
focusing on a single implementation.

I don't see that it can become that simple, it'd still need to be
prefixed with SBI_ to be consistent with any other SBI related enum, and
at that point adding the extra IMP_ makes little odds.

We have different mechanisms of DT being passed to the kernel.

1. A prior stage(e.g U-Boot SPL) to M-mode runtime firmware (e.g.
OpenSBI, rustSBI) passes the DT to M-mode runtime firmware and it
passes to the next stage.
In this case, M-mode runtime firmware gets a chance to update the
no-map property in DT that the kernel can parse.

2. User loads the DT from the boot loader (e.g EDK2, U-Boot proper).
Any DT patching done by the M-mode firmware is useless. If these DTBs
don't have the no-map
property, hibernation or EFI booting will have issues as well.

We are trying to solve only one part of problem #1 in this patch. I
don't think any other M-mode runtime firmware patches DT with no-map
property as well.
Please let me know if I am wrong about that. The problem is not
restricted to [v0.8 to v1.3) of OpenSBI.

The booting doc now says that no-map property must be set and any
usage of DTBs without that (via #1 or #2) will have unintended
consequences.

Correct.

If someone's second stage is also providing an incorrect devicetree
then, yeah, this approach would fall apart - but it's the firmware
provided devicetree being incorrect that I am trying to account for
here. If a person incorrectly constructed one, I am not really sure what
we can do for them, they incorrect described their hardware /shrug
My patch should of course help in some of the scenarios you mention above
if the name of the reserved memory region from OpenSBI is propagated by
the second-stage bootloader, but that is just an extension of case 1,
not case 2.

It comes down to Alex's question - do we want to fix this kind of
firmware issue in the kernel? Ultimately this is a policy decision that
"somebody" has to make. Maybe the list of firmwares that need this
grows, but hopefully this bug will be fixed everywhere going forward,
since, as you say, we now have a document.
The reason I've only targeted OpenSBI here is that it's what is being
shipped on people's SBCs etc by default & is also what is in the
versions of QEMU that people seem to be using. Unless there's some
example that I am missing, other firmwares are either not affected or
not actually being shipped on to consumers?

Which is great. It unfortunately does not help one iota with stuff
that's already in the wild.

IMO, we shouldn't as this is a slippery slope. Kernel can't fix every
firmware bug by having erratas.
I agree with your point below about firmware in shipping products. I
am not aware of any official products shipping anything other than
OpenSBI
either. However, I have seen users using other firmwares in their dev
environment.
IMHO, this approach sets a bad precedent for the future especially
when it only solves one part of the problem.
We shouldn't hide firmware bugs in the kernel when an upgraded
firmware is already available.

This bug is well documented in various threads and fixed in the latest
version of OpenSBI.
I am assuming other firmwares will follow it as well.

Anybody facing hibernation or efi related booting issues should just
upgrade to the latest version of firmware (e.g OpenSBI v1.3)
Latest version of Qemu will support(if not happened already) the
latest version of OpenSBI.

This issue will only manifest in kernels 6.4 or higher. Any user
facing these with the latest kernel can also upgrade the firmware.
Do you see any issue with that ?

If someone's already changed their boards firmware, I have less sympathy
for them, as they should be able to make further changes. Punters buying
SBCs to install Fedora or Debian w/o having to consider their firmware
are who I am more interested in helping.

> IMHO, this approach sets a bad precedent for the future especially

Yeah, I'm certainly wary of setting an unwise precedent here.
Inevitably we will need to have firmware-related errata and it'd be good
to have a policy for what is (or more importantly what isn't
acceptable). Certainly we have said that known-broken version of OpenSBI
that T-Head puts in their SDK is not supported by the mainline kernel.
On the latter part, I'm perfectly happy to expand the erratum to cover
all affected firmwares, but I wasn't even sure if my fix worked
properly, hence the request for testing from those who encountered the
problem.

Just to note, availability of an updated firmware upstream does not
necessarily mean that corresponding update is possible for affected
hardware.

I don't think it is fair to compare the ease of upgrading the kernel
to that required to upgrade a boards firmware, with the latter being
far, far more inconvenient on pretty much all of the boards that I have.

I'm perfectly happy to drop this series though, if people generally are
of the opinion that this sort of firmware workaround is ill-advised.
We are unaffected by it, so I certainly have no pressure to have
something working here. It's my desire not to be user-hostile that
motivated this patch.

Yep.  I think we're been in a very hobbist-centric world in RISC-V land, 
but in general trying to get people to update firmware is hard.  Part of 
the whole "kernel updates don't break users" thing is what's underneath 
the kernel, it's not just a uABI thing.

IMO we're in the same spot as every other port here, and generally they 
work around firmware bugs when they've rolled out into production 
somewhere that firmware updates aren't likely to happen quickly.  I'm 
not sure if there's any sort of exact rules written down anywhere, but 
IMO if the bug is going to impact users then we should deal with it.

That applies for hardware bugs, but also firmware bugs (at a certain 
point we won't be able to tell the difference).  We're sort of doing 
this with the misaligned access handling, for example.

IIUC you guys and Reneas are the only ones who have hardware that might 
be in a spot where users aren't able to update the firmware (ie, it's 
out in production somewhere).  So I'm adding Geert, though he probably 
saw this months ago...

On that note: It's been ~4 months and it look like nobody's tested 
anything (and the comments aren't really things that would preculde 
testing).  So maybe we just pick that second patch up into for-next and 
see what happens?  IIUC that will result in broken systems for users who 
haven't updated their firmware.

I agree that's a user-hostile way to do things, which is generally a bad 
way to go, but if it's really true that there's no users then we're 
safe.  Probably also worth calling it out on sw-dev just to be safe.

Yeah, there's certainly an attitude that I think needs to go away, that
updating firmware etc is something we can expect to be carried out on a
universal basis. Or that fixing things in the upstream version of
OpenSBI means it'll actually propagate down to system integrators.

I dunno if we can really keep thinking like that though. In terms of
people who have devicetrees in the kernel and stuff available in western
catalog distribution, sure.
I don't think we can assume that that covers all users though, certainly
the syntacore folks pop up every now and then, and I sure hope that
Andes etc have larger customer bases than the in-kernel users would
suggest.

Prabhakar might be a good call on that front. I'm not sure if the
Renesas stuff works on affected versions of OpenSBI though, guess it
depends on the sequencing of the support for the non-coherent stuff and
when this bug was fixed.

Yeah, nobody seems to really have given a crap. I was hoping the
StarFive guys that actually added the support for this would be
interested in it, but alas they were not.
I don't really care all that much - the platform I support is not
affected by the problem and I just don't enable the option elsewhere.

And if there are users, the fix is actually relatively straight-forward,
just apply patch #1.

ATM, I dont think there are any users who are using the upstream

That doesn't really answer whether or not you (and your customers) are
using an affected version of the vendor OpenSBI?
The affected range for OpenSBI itself is [v0.8 to v1.3).

Oops sorry for that.

I can confirm the BSP version used by the customers is v1.0 [0].

OK, so sounds like would end up with broken systems from this bug, then?

IIRC we still have the Renesas systems as NONPORTABLE due to that DMA 
pool Kconfig conflict.  So if it's really only these Renesas systems 
that have the bug, maybe we can still remove hibernation from 
NONPORTABLE and just add in some sort of Kconfig to disable the 
Renesas+hibernation combinations that would break?

Well customers using BSP uses v1.0 for OpenSBI and kernel 5.10-cip, and people wanting to run upstream kernel will have to only use the upstream OpenSBI as the OpenSBI used in BSP is not compatible with upstream kernel(Linux doesn’t bootup).

ATM I can say that its only me and Geert using upstream OpenBSI and upstream kernel.

With that in mind would we still require that change?

Prabhakar

5.10 doesn't have hibernation support in it, although I'm not sure why anyone would really want to use a kernel that old with a RISC-V system.

The upstream versions of opensbi that support the renesas stuff have the no-map fix, right?
If that's the case, then nothing special config wise is likely required.

I'm still wary of other systems though, we are acting as if it is only Microchip and Renesas are the "real" users.

At Renesas we have the BSPs based on the CIP kernel. Currently the BSPs are based on 5.10-cip [0] (we plan to upgrade it to 6.1-cip).

Yes it does.

[RFT 2/2] Revert "RISC-V: mark hibernation as nonportable"

[Conor Dooley]

Revert commit ed309ce52218 ("RISC-V: mark hibernation as nonportable")
as the kernel now has a way to handle the "no-map"-less, PMP protected,
reserved memory nodes for the affected versions of OpenSBI.
