[U-Boot] [PATCH] pci: fix some warnings related to assumptions about

[Kumar Gala]

The following commit introduced some warnings associated with using
pci_addr_t instead of a proper 32-bit data type.

commit af778c6d9e2b945ee03cbc53bb976238a3374f33
Author: Andrew Sharp <andywyse6@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Aug 1 12:27:16 2012 +0000

    pci: fix errant data types and corresponding access functions

On some platforms pci_addr_t is defined as a 64-bit data type so its not
proper to use with pci_{read,write}_config_dword.

[U-Boot] arch/powerpc/lib/board.c:get_effective_memsize() for 4GB+ systems

[Robert Thorhuus]

Hello!

I'm having problem with my U-Boot for a PowerPC system. I think the root cause is that the function get_effective_memsize() (in file arch/powerpc/lib/board.c) returns 0.

ulong get_effective_memsize(void)
{
#ifndef	CONFIG_VERY_BIG_RAM
	return gd->ram_size;
#else
	/* limit stack to what we can reasonable map */
	return ((gd->ram_size > CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED) ?
		CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED : gd->ram_size);
#endif
}

Since the system have 24GB of RAM I have fiddled around so both CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED is actually 24GB and also gd->ram_size is 24GB.

Is it just me who have completely missed how U-Boot works or what?

Thanks for help

What kinda of PPC system is this?

You probably don't want to change CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED.  The idea is this is how much of your 24GB is directly accessible by u-boot.  For large mem systems this is usually 2GB.

Thanks for the answer Kumar!

I'm using 64 bit mpc85xx cores.

Mapping the whole memory from the beginning was of course just an initial thought.
But for me it looks like the code is just not able to deal with more than 3.99GB mapped. U-Boot will not be able to be relocated.

U-Boot runs in 32-bit mode even on a 64-bit code.

I would be very surprised if U-Boot could handle a value of
CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED larger than 2GB, no matter what.  We use the
address space above 2GB for I/O addresses, like CCSR and PCI memory.
You would need to reshuffle your I/O memory mappings to use a larger
value.  And even then, we've never tested that, and so who knows what
obscure bugs are in the code.

Is there a reason why you need access to more than 2GB of RAM from
within U-Boot?

Hello Timur!

Ok. Point taken.

I really see the advantage of keeping this map you have. It is of course more compatible with different OSEs and you do not need to do anything special with 32/64 bit cores. But at the same time you never take advantage of a 64 bit core with this approach.

How should I access my 24GB in U-Boot?
So really you are saying that I should have a 2GB map window in my 32-bit address space and then move this window depending on what memory I want to access? A bit cumbersome I must say. But ok.

How about the U-Boot relocation?
As I see the code, it is not easy to decide where it should relocate. It will be either relocated to end of RAM or if we have more than 4G it will be at 4GB end. What if you want to place U-Boot at 16MB for instance? Or if you do not want a memory map hole at 4GB just because U-Boot doesn't handle more than that?

Last AND least I just want to say I'm used to creating memory maps in bootloader which holds for the OS. It seems the time has come to annihilate my illusion...

Thanks

U-Boot is a boot loader, not an operating system.  What is U-Boot supposed 
to do with more than 2GB of RAM?

You should not!

Again, you're doing the wrong thing with U-Boot.  It's a boot loader. 
It's supposed to find your OS, load it into memory, and then boot it.

It relocates to the end of RAM or the end of 2GB, whichever is lower.  It 
ignores all memory above 2GB.

Again, you're missing the point about U-boot.

Yes, please kill it with fire!

Hello Timur!

You really used the machine gun there ;)

Ok. I'll just answer your 2GB+ usage question:

Testing!
No I will not be using much memory at all for functionality. But the memory needs to be tested. What is your proposal for that then? 
And I see U-Boot as the first software place for test and debug. Maybe I want to read out RAM contents?

Robert,

We have seen some cases for u-boot to access >4G of memory directly.  However, the effort to get u-boot to be a 64-bit clean just has never warranted the investment for the few minor cases people have raised for wanting to address >4G directly.

The one case I usually hear about is DDR test.  We suggest its easier to try and getting DDR testing to utilize a window scheme into memory than it is for one to go make u-boot 64-bit.

Hello Kumar!

Ok. Since this seems to be the verified way I'll walk it.
I'll change the DDR testing to be "small" window based.

Still I wonder why the choice was made to have U-Boot relocate in high memory rather than low memory and also not making it easy to configure the relocation.

We have that already.  Look at CONFIG_SYS_POST_MEMORY.  It uses sliding
2GB TLBs to test all of DDR.

It's a boot loader, not a testing platform.

U-Boot relocates in high memory so that you can load your operating system
at address 0.

Sorry. But this is were I disagree with you. Of course its prime function is to boot an operating system. And usually in a desktop environment that is what you need. But if you have newly developed hardware it is very seldom everything works all the time. There are a lot of debugging hardware sessions before you have stable hardware. So in embedded systems I would say U-Boot can very well be a primary choice of testing platform in the beginning of a development. Mainly because sucessfully booting U-Boot demands less of the hardware than sucessfully boot an OS. Say you have a NOR and 1 MB L3 cache but no DDR3, U-Boot is set, OS not.

And what test platform would you suggest? And what if your extended testing needs to be a viable option at every boot and that you have boot time requirements?

If you have suggestions I will be happy because I'd like to move my testing from U-Boot for several reasons but currently the restraints are tough.

If you really want to turn U-Boot into a testing platform, feel free to
post patches that implement those features.  But don't be surprised if
your patches are rejected.

You can create U-boot "applications" that test your hardware, if you want
to test from within U-Boot.

Thanks,

This should get in before v2012.10 is released

Staging branch was included in -rc1 so we should be good (and I
noticed the builds with warning set of powerpc went away).
