[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] bcm2835_property: use cached values when querying framebuffer

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] bcm2835_property: use cached values when querying framebuffer

[Sylvain Garrigues]

As the framebuffer settings are copied into the result message before it is reconfigured, inconsistent behavior can happen when, for instance, you set with a sinle message the width, height, and depth, and ask at the same time to allocate the buffer and get the pitch and the size.

In this case, the reported pitch and size would be incorrect as they were computed with the initial values of width, height and depth, not the ones the client requested.

Thanks for this patch. I think at this point in the 2.6 release cycle
we should leave this for the 2.7 release, given that it doesn't affect
the booting of the older Linux and Windows versions that work on the raspi2
board.

I'll let Andrew review the patch...

It does prevent FreeBSD to boot correctly.

With that patch and 
#define KERNEL_LOAD_ADDR 0x00200000
in arm/boot/boot.c, official FreeBSD RPI2 images boot like a charm :-)

BTW, would be great to be able to set the load addr on the command line, wouldn’t it?

This is the kind of thing that is useful to mention in the commit
message, because it tells people why the change is important...

The booting protocol does not mandate any particular address
that the kernel has to be loaded at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm/Booting

If the FreeBSD kernel can't handle being loaded wherever
we put it, that sounds like a FreeBSD bug to me...

You are obviously right, sorry about that.

I didn’t know qemu would blindly follow and stick to Linux rules, but I understand. I use qemu for baremetal and *BSD emulation, I wish it would be easier to change the loading address (and not stick with Linux rules like so many people again) :-)  


> If the FreeBSD kernel can't handle being loaded wherever

I would not say it is a bug, but an explicit assumption. Indeed, the kernel expects it is loaded on a 2 MB page boundary.
I’m no expert, but I believe it was made so that we could remove the need for setting the physical address in the building process. The virtual to physical offset is computed more simply with that assumption. 

With the patch you committed for me earlier today (b4850e5), the patch we are talking about in this email (which is not a feature but a bug fix in my opinion), and the ability to set the load address to 0x200000 (on the command line if possible), the following line just works straight to the login prompt :-) 
# ./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M raspi2 -m 1024 -smp 4 -kernel kernel.bin -serial stdio -dtb rpi2.dtb -sd FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI2-20160408-r297692.img

FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-arm-armv6-RPI2-20160408-r297692.img is the latest FreeBSD official image.
rpi2.dtb and kernel.bin are in the /boot/ partition of that img file. 

That’s it for my patches to make qemu and BSDs the best lovers in the world.

Have a good day,
Sylvain Garrigues.

-kernel for a non-ELF file is specifically "boot a Linux kernel according
to the Linux kernel booting protocol". Your other options for booting
are (1) provide -kernel with an ELF file, which we will load at whatever
start address the ELF header specifies, or (2) on boards which have a
flash device, use -bios or -pflash options to specify a flash image to
go in that flash device (I don't think raspi2 has this yet though).
For bare metal testing either of those last two seem like a better
approach; you should also be able to wrap the FreeBSD kernel in an
ELF file to get it to work like that (you'll need to handle SMP
secondary boot yourself though; or just stick a relocation shim
on the front of the FreeBSD kernel).

The reason I'm a bit reluctant to add extra bells and whistles to
the builtin bootloader is that it can quickly get out of hand:
should we support all of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Windows,
etc etc etc? At some point the right answer becomes "run the real
guest bootloader like u-boot from flash and let that start the
kernel".

There may be something we can do here to make FreeBSD's life
easier, but we definitely can't do it on the eve of a release.

FWIW, I agree this is a bug fix; it's just that we're hours away from
tagging the final RC for this release cycle, so the bar for "is this
bug important enough to put in now?" is quite high...

I didn’t know it was release day, my timing is not perfect then, sorry about that, I didn’t intend to put stress on you guys today.
Like you mentioned, the Linux boot protocol doesn’t mandate any loading address, hence the possibility to set it on the command line. 
It would benefit not only to FreeBSD (which is strictly Linux boot ABI compliant BTW - that is how I found the qemu bootloader bug and fixed it in b4850e5) but all other OS.
On the real hardware Raspberry Pi, there is the kernel_address firmware feature which enable to set the kernel load address. Would be neat to have it *someday* in qemu for any board if it is not too hard to implement.

Again, I didn’t know about the timing. Indeed it is a bug but I let the team decide about including it in this release. Personally, I don’t care :-) (apart from my own ego being able to say « I contributed to making this release compatible with FreeBSD »)

It would indeed be nice if qemu for the Pi implemented the exact same 
bootloader setup as real HW does. That is, loading boot images from the 
FAT partition on the SD card, parsing config.txt, etc.

Ideally as was mentioned earlier this would be done by simply executing 
the existing bootloader under emulation, rather than building all that 
code into qemu. However, in the Pi case, the bootloader runs on the 
VideoCore (a separate non-ARM CPU), so isn't (and likely won't be since 
IIUC it isn't fully documented) emulated by qemu. by the time the ARM 
CPU runs, everything (kernel, DTB/ATAGS, ARM boot stub, ...) is already 
loaded into RAM, the display is already probed over HDMI and the 
controller scanning out a dummy image, etc.

So I think if that were to be supported, it'd have to be coded into 
qemu. Is that something that could happen, or would such patches not fit 
qemu's model well?

I made half a start on this project but had to shelve it.

The hard part is the FAT filesystem. The basic approach I started on
was to link in the relevant bits of the GNU mtools so QEMU can poke
around in a FAT filesystem hosted on a block device. Then just mount
the SD card and emulate the boot logic of the VideoCore bootloader.
This amount of new code should actually be pretty small, as the FS
driver is handled by mtools and the SDHCI can be shorted by just
having this alternate bootloader go direct to the block device (fish
the blockdev out from the SD card).

Peter

Alternatively we can just go for a later boot loader stage, i.e. put a
u-boot build for rpi2 to pc-bios/ (we already have one for ppc there)
and run that by default.

Our sdcard emulation seems to have problems though:

   U-Boot 2016.05-rc2 (Apr 22 2016 - 09:11:45 +0200)

   DRAM:  960 MiB
   RPI 2 Model B (0xa21041)
   MMC:   <uboot hangs here>

Recent linux kernels have trouble talking to the mmc too.

I know :( I haven't looked at the more recent kernels, but it could be the same issue I spent a while debugging fruitlessly on raspi1 -- it looked like Linux was issuing a large MMC read for N blocks, but only programming the DMA controller for fewer (<N*blocksize). The DMA reads completed quickly but eventually the kernel timed out, logged an error and reissued the whole operation as single-block PIO reads.

If you get a chance to diagnose this any further, I'd be curious to know what you find. If the same problem repros with u-boot, it's almost certainly simpler to debug there.

The disadvantage here is that people might expect all their options in 
config.txt (e.g. kernel command-line, load address, DTB overlays, GPU 
RAM size, etc.) to be honored on any Pi platform. If we jump straight 
into U-Boot, they won't be, at least not in the typical Pi way.

This particular issue is because the bcm2835 timer isn't emulated, and 
the U-Boot MMC driver call udelay or similar, which is implemented by 
waiting for that timer to tick. There's a patch in Andrew's github tree 
that implements the timer, and with that U-Boot at least gets to its 
shell prompt, or did the last time I tested it.

Rather than a later boot stage, could we set this up to be identical
in functionality to the early boot stage? This enables baremetal devs
who want to debug from the real bootrom handoff (handoff from
VideoCore).

Doing it over FAT+bootloader code does however have the advantage of
not having to go through emulated SD card and TCG.

You got further on this than I did. I considered a couple of options, of varying complexity/compatibility:

 0. The status quo: we support -kernel (for Linux images) and -bios (e.g. Windows), but otherwise all the options that can be set in config.txt are treated as the defaults. For example, -bios images are always loaded at 0x8000. Additionally, framebuffer parameters can be set directly from the command line (e.g. Windows wants -global bcm2835-fb.pixo=0).
 1. More pi-specific parameters in the line of the framebuffer parameters above, to control things like the image load address, and maybe to enable trustzone boot akin to config.txt's kernel-old=1.
 2. Code to parse config.txt and set the parameters above.
 3. Code to emulate the bootloader entirely, pulling config.txt and all the relevant boot bits out of an SD image (this is what Peter describes above).
 4. An ARM-based reimplementation of the bootloader, running under emulation.

I discarded even considering option 3 because I assumed you wouldn't want a FAT implementation linked into qemu. And I'm not inclined to add ini-parsing code, so my gut feeling was to go a little further on option 1 and add parameters to the raspi machines (I assume this is possible?) for basic things like the load address, and rely on users to translate config.txt settings into command-line parameters.

Setting up U-boot to be #4 could work.

rPI is not alone here though. Xilinx Zynq does exactly the same thing
with boot code pulling things out of SD card + FAT so you have at
least two precedents justifying the feature.

Having the ARM bootloader (called armstub in raspberry pi developers words), the config.txt file, and the « kernel » (whatever it is, ELF or raw binary) on a FAT portion of an SD card is convenient for real hardware: on a lambda user perspective, you just use your lambda computer to burn an image on a SD card (one you don’t use anymore with your camera), then insert it in your shiny new raspberry pi hardware.

QEMU in my opinion does not target the regular lambda user, and I wouldn’t go as far as mimicking the FAT / SD emulation boot process: my personal use case for qemu as a developer is « kernel » development / debugging and my workflow sums up to a simple loop: 

# vi some_kernel_source_code.c && make && qemu -kernel the_new_kernel_image
Do that 100 times a day.

Having to place my kernel in a FAT partition of a mounted disk image in my host OS would just complexity my process. I don’t expect my emulator to be 100% similar to the real hardware (it will never in the case of the Raspberry Pi, as long as the GPU firmware source code is closed). I just want to use my emulator to get things done fast (on my host computer rather than real hardware) and I want to emulate CPU and code (interrupts, etc) as closely as possible, without too much effort.

Having said that, I would give the qemu user who wants raspberry pi emulation these two functionalities that the raspberry pi firmware provides:
1/ ability to use a custom bootloader before launching the kernel: option armstub=somebootloader.bin in config.txt (be it u-boot or a custom stub which leaves HYP mode)
2/ ability to load your « kernel » at a specific address: option kernel_address in config.txt

So future -kernel-address and -bootloader qemu command line parameters (either specific to Raspberry pi or global) is my dream. That way I can play fast with whatever bootloader I want, play with HYP mode, and I can use whatever loading address I want. 

By the way, for the Raspberry Pi, the address is 0x8000 compared to the default 0x10000 for Arm in qemu, and being able to set it would enable to boot (without patching QEMU’s code) NetBSD images (compiled to work at 0x8000) and FreeBSD kernel without u-boot (requires the loading address to be a multiple of 2MB). Seems to me like basic functionality. I heard your argument Peter mentioning the linux boot protocol doesn’t mandate a loading address, and I find it is for this specific reason that which should let the user choose it. I also heard the « use an ELF » argument but some non-Linux kernels have by default a virtual (and not physical) address in their header, so doesn’t work straight out of the box.

Just my 2 cents :-) I however want to thank you all for the quality of the ARM emulation and more specifically the Raspberry Pi one, it opens many possibilities and is charm to work with.

Have a very good week-end all,
Sylvain.

Personal style nit: I prefer * 8 rather than >> 3, because it's more immediately obvious what you're computing, a trivial optimisation for the compiler, and in this specific example wouldn't need the brackets to ensure the correct operator precedence.

Duh, yes sorry it's obviously /8. The _fb code was probably like that in the original version.

But I won't be merging this patch (hopefully Peter can do that?), so it's probably best if you make the tweak and resend with my Reviewed-by.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] bcm2835_property: use cached values when querying framebuffer

[Sylvain Garrigues]

As the framebuffer settings are copied into the result message before it is
reconfigured, inconsistent behavior can happen when, for instance, you set with
a single message the width, height, and depth, and ask at the same time to
allocate the buffer and get the pitch and the size.

In this case, the reported pitch and size would be incorrect as they were
computed with the initial values of width, height and depth, not the ones the
client requested.

Hi; this is on my list of patches to deal with, but QEMU
is still in code freeze for the upcoming 2.6 release.
When we reopen the tree after release it will go in
shortly after that.

Applied to target-arm.next, thanks. (I folded a couple of long lines
that checkpatch.pl complains about.)
