[PATCH 0/4] riscv: 64-bit NOMMU fixes and enhancements

[Samuel Holland]

This series aims to improve support for NOMMU, specifically by making it
easier to test NOMMU kernels in QEMU and on various widely-available
hardware (errata permitting). After all, everything supports Svbare...

After applying this series, a NOMMU kernel based on defconfig (changing
only the three options below*) boots to userspace on QEMU when passed as
-kernel.

  # CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE is not set
  # CONFIG_MMU is not set
  CONFIG_NONPORTABLE=y

*if you are using LLD, you must also disable BPF_SYSCALL and KALLSYMS,
because LLD bails on out-of-range references to undefined weak symbols.


Samuel Holland (4):
  riscv: Fix TASK_SIZE on 64-bit NOMMU
  riscv: Fix loading 64-bit NOMMU kernels past the start of RAM
  riscv: Remove MMU dependency from Zbb and Zicboz
  riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to run in S-mode

[PATCH 1/4] riscv: Fix TASK_SIZE on 64-bit NOMMU

[Samuel Holland]

On NOMMU, userspace memory can come from anywhere in physical RAM. The
current definition of TASK_SIZE is wrong if any RAM exists above 4G,
causing spurious failures in the userspace access routines.

Thanks for this patch! I'm doing something similar locally and it fixes the
linux nommu + musl libc build on my JH7110 S7 core.

[PATCH 2/4] riscv: Fix loading 64-bit NOMMU kernels past the start of RAM

[Samuel Holland]

commit 3335068f8721 ("riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear
mapping") added logic to allow using RAM below the kernel load address.
However, this does not work for NOMMU, where PAGE_OFFSET is fixed to the
kernel load address. Since that range of memory corresponds to PFNs
below ARCH_PFN_OFFSET, mm initialization runs off the beginning of
mem_map and corrupts adjacent kernel memory. Fix this by restoring the
previous behavior for NOMMU kernels.

This commit was a year ago, why has nobody reported this as being an

I can think of a few reasons:
1) NOMMU users are likely to be using RV32, which is not affected.
2) Before patch 4 of this series, NOMMU implied M-mode, so there was nothing in
the way to prevent loading Linux at the very beginning of RAM. (U-Boot/SPL
relocates itself to the end of RAM, so it would not cause a problem.)
3) Platforms where RAM does not begin at exactly 0x80000000 would be affected,
there are several workarounds: change the start of RAM (for soft cores), change
PAGE_OFFSET, or change the memory ranges in the devicetree to exclude anything
below PAGE_OFFSET.

It's possible that nobody was affected, but it's still technically a regression
(a hypothetical platform with RAM from 0x40000000 to 0xc0000000 would crash
instead of only being able to use half its RAM), so I thought it still deserved
the Fixes: tag.

Regards,
Samuel

[PATCH 4/4] riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to run in S-mode

[Samuel Holland]

For ease of testing, it is convenient to run NOMMU kernels in supervisor
mode. The only required change is to offset the kernel load address,
since the beginning of RAM is usually reserved for M-mode firmware.

The first default seen with a passing condition is the default chosen,
right?

Yes, exactly. It's not required for the conditions to all be disjoint.

I had actually gone and checked was doing the right thing, but I didn't
manage to convince myself that this was intended behaviour rather than
an implementation detail. What I saw in the docs for default was:
"If multiple default values are visible, only the first defined one is active"
and I suppose "visible" is what is used to cover the if part.

That's not new to these patches though, right? IIRC that's an existing
issue.

Yes, that's correct. I see that arch/riscv/configs/nommu_* have KALLSYMS
disabled already; this may be the reason.
