[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v4 0/4] xen/riscv: fix boot on missing extensions and MMU setup bugs
This series introduces bugs fixes that were found while bringing up CI
support for the HiFive Premier P550 board with a basic smoke test. The
board-support series itself will follow separately as it depends on
PLIC/vPLIC and dom0less support that have not been upstreamed yet. This
series carries only the independent fixes found along the way, none of them
need the board-support series to apply.
This series:
1: Rename PTE "permissions" to "pte_flags"
2: Always preset A/D bits in G-stage PTEs
3: Fix A/D bit handling in Xen's page-table mappings
4: Use pte_is_valid() in pte_is_mapping()

Changes since v3:
- Drop v3 patches 1, 6 already upstreamed:
861e44a3ba8e ("xen/riscv: make Zihintpause no longer a required
extension")
469d83d42f5c ("docs/riscv: sync required ISA extensions with
required_extensions[]")
- Add trailers (A-by and/or R-by).
- Rename patch 3 to ("xen/riscv: always preset A/D bits in G-stage PTEs")
as it now always presets A/D bits instead of distinguish Svadu/Svade DT
bindings cases.
- Address review comments.
- Link to v3:

Changes since v2:
- Drop v2 patches 5 and 6, already upstreamed:
d8ca89f26c8a ("xen/riscv: flush speculatively cached Bare-mode TLB entries
in turn_on_mmu()")
08a898b93d21 ("xen/riscv: fix level_map_mask truncation on load_start")
- Drop "xen/riscv: make Svpbmt no longer a required extension".
It relaxed Svpbmt so boards without it, like the HiFive P550, could boot.
But without Svpbmt, DMA-noncoherent devices do not snoop the CPU caches
and can read stale data from DRAM. Mainline Linux has the same problem,
which is explained and reproducible in [1]. Fixing it needs a lot of
machinery we do not need yet, and Svpbmt is mandatory in RVA23, so
keeping it required is simpler and safer. An RFC will follow with a fix
inspired by [2].
- Add three new patches:
docs/riscv: sync required ISA extensions with required_extensions[]
xen/riscv: rename PTE "permissions" to "pte_flags"
xen/riscv: use pte_is_valid() in pte_is_mapping()
- Address review comments.
