extlinux / PXE"
Simon Glass <[email protected]> says:
This series includes some patches related to allowing read_all() to be
used with the extlinux / PXE bootmeths.
These patches were split out from the stb4 series, since it will need to
have additional patches for LWIP, to avoid breaking PXE booting when
LWIP is used.

Arm invented a new format for arm64 and something similar is also used
with RISC-V. Add this to the list of supported formats and provide a way
for the format to be detected on both architectures.
Update the genimg_get_format() function to support this.
Fix up switch() statements which don't currently mention this format.
Booti does not support a ramdisk, so this can be ignored.

While the _start label is only intended for use locally to populate the
(hand-written) PE header, the linker script includes ENTRY(_start) which
designates it as the entry point in the output ELF, resulting in linker
warnings under some linkers (e.g. LLVM's lld) due to _start not being a
globally-visible symbol. Since ELF is only an intermediary build
format, and the aforementioned PE header correctly points to _start, the
ENTRY(_start) directive could easily be removed to silence this warning.
However, since some developers who are debugging EFI by analyzing the
intermediary ELF may appreciate having correct entry-point information,
this patch instead promotes the _start labels to global symbols,
silencing the linker warning and making the intermediary ELF reflect the
true entry point.
This patch doesn't affect the final output binaries in any way.

Now that we have the same option for SPL and TPL, simplify the logic for
determining the initial stack.
Note that this changes behaviour as current SPL_STACK is a fallback for
TPL. However, that was likely unintended and can be handled with Kconfig
defaults if needed.

This replaces dm_remove_devices_flags() calls in all boot
implementations to ensure non vital devices are consistently removed
first. All boot implementation except arch/arm/lib/bootm.c currently
just call dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL). This can result
in crashes when dependencies between devices exists. The driver model's
design document describes DM_FLAG_VITAL as "indicates that the device is
'vital' to the operation of other devices". Device removal at boot
should follow this.
Instead of adding dm_remove_devices_flags() with (DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL |
DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL) everywhere add dm_remove_devices_active() which
does this.
Fixes a NULL pointer deref in the apple dart IOMMU driver during EFI
boot. The xhci-pci (driver which depends on the IOMMU to work) removes
its mapping on removal. This explodes when the IOMMU device was removed
first.
dm_remove_devices_flags() is kept since it is used for testing of
device_remove() calls in dm.

Patrick Rudolph <[email protected]> says:
Based on the existing work done by Simon Glass this series adds
support for booting aarch64 devices using ACPI only.
As first target QEMU SBSA support is added, which relies on ACPI
only to boot an OS. As secondary target the Raspberry Pi4 was used,
which is broadly available and allows easy testing of the proposed
solution.
The series is split into ACPI cleanups and code movements, adding
Arm specific ACPI tables and finally SoC and mainboard related
changes to boot a Linux on the QEMU SBSA and RPi4. Currently only the
mandatory ACPI tables are supported, allowing to boot into Linux
without errors.
The QEMU SBSA support is feature complete and provides the same
functionality as the EDK2 implementation.
The changes were tested on real hardware as well on QEMU v9.0:
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine sbsa-ref -nographic -cpu cortex-a57 \
-pflash secure-world.rom \
-pflash unsecure-world.rom
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine raspi4b -kernel u-boot.bin -cpu cortex-a72 \
-smp 4 -m 2G -drive file=raspbian.img,format=raw,index=0 \
-dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb -nographic
Tested against FWTS V24.03.00.
Known issues:
- The QEMU rpi4 support is currently limited as it doesn't emulate PCI,
USB or ethernet devices!
- The SMP bringup doesn't work on RPi4, but works in QEMU (Possibly
cache related).
- PCI on RPI4 isn't working on real hardware since the pcie_brcmstb
Linux kernel module doesn't support ACPI yet.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

On Arm platforms that use ACPI they cannot rely on the "spin-table"
CPU bringup usually defined in the FDT. Thus implement the
'ACPI Multi-processor Startup for ARM Platforms', also referred to as
'ACPI parking protocol'.
The ACPI parking protocol works similar to the spin-table mechanism, but
the specification also covers lots of shortcomings of the spin-table
implementations.
Every CPU defined in the ACPI MADT table has it's own 4K page where the
spinloop code and the OS mailbox resides. When selected the U-Boot board
code must make sure that the secondary CPUs enter u-boot after relocation
as well, so that they can enter the spinloop code residing in the ACPI
parking protocol pages.
The OS will then write to the mailbox and generate an IPI to release the
CPUs from the spinloop code.
For now it's only implemented on ARMv8, but can easily be extended to
other platforms, like ARMv7.

Simon Glass <[email protected]> says:
When the SPL build-phase was first created it was designed to solve a
particular problem (the need to init SDRAM so that U-Boot proper could
be loaded). It has since expanded to become an important part of U-Boot,
with three phases now present: TPL, VPL and SPL
Due to this history, the term 'SPL' is used to mean both a particular
phase (the one before U-Boot proper) and all the non-proper phases.
This has become confusing.
For a similar reason CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is set to 'y' for all 'SPL'
phases, not just SPL. So code which can only be compiled for actual SPL,
for example, must use something like this:
#if defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) && !defined(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD)
In Makefiles we have similar issues. SPL_ has been used as a variable
which expands to either SPL_ or nothing, to chose between options like
CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_SPL_BLK. When TPL appeared, a new SPL_TPL variable
was created which expanded to 'SPL_', 'TPL_' or nothing. Later it was
updated to support 'VPL_' as well.
This series starts a change in terminology and usage to resolve the
above issues:
- The word 'xPL' is used instead of 'SPL' to mean a non-proper build
- A new CONFIG_XPL_BUILD define indicates that the current build is an
'xPL' build
- The existing CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is changed to mean SPL; it is not now
defined for TPL and VPL phases
- The existing SPL_ Makefile variable is renamed to SPL_
- The existing SPL_TPL Makefile variable is renamed to PHASE_
It should be noted that xpl_phase() can generally be used instead of
the above CONFIGs without a code-space or run-time penalty.
This series does not attempt to convert all of U-Boot to use this new
terminology but it makes a start. In particular, renaming spl.h and
common/spl seems like a bridge too far at this point.
The series is fully bisectable. It has also been checked to ensure there
are no code-size changes on any commit.

Sughosh Ganu <[email protected]> says:
This is a follow-up from an earlier RFC series [1] for making the LMB
and EFI memory allocations work together. This is a non-rfc version
with only the LMB part of the patches, for making the LMB memory map
global and persistent.
This is part one of a set of patches which aim to have the LMB and EFI
memory allocations work together. This requires making the LMB memory
map global and persistent, instead of having local, caller specific
maps. This is being done keeping in mind the usage of LMB memory by
platforms where the same memory region can be used to load multiple
different images. What is not allowed is to overwrite memory that has
been allocated by the other module, currently the EFI memory
module. This is being achieved by introducing a new flag,
LMB_NOOVERWRITE, which represents memory which cannot be re-requested
once allocated.
The data structures (alloced lists) required for maintaining the LMB
map are initialised during board init. The LMB module is enabled by
default for the main U-Boot image, while it needs to be enabled for
SPL. This version also uses a stack implementation, as suggested by
Simon Glass to temporarily store the lmb structure instance which is
used during normal operation when running lmb tests. This does away
with the need to run the lmb tests separately.
The tests have been tweaked where needed because of these changes.
The second part of the patches, to be sent subsequently, would work on
having the EFI allocations work with the LMB API's.
[1] - https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/[email protected]/T/#t
Notes:
1) These patches are on next, as the alist patches have been
applied to that branch.
2) I have tested the boot on the ST DK2 board, but it would be good to
get a T-b/R-b from the ST maintainers.
3) It will be good to test these changes on a PowerPC platform
(ideally an 85xx, as I do not have one).

All of the current definitions of arch_lmb_reserve() are doing the
same thing -- reserve the region of memory occupied by U-Boot,
starting from the current stack address to the ram_top. Introduce a
function lmb_reserve_uboot_region() which does this, and do away with
the arch_lmb_reserve() function.
Instead of using the current value of stack pointer for starting the
reserved region, have a fixed value, considering the stack size config
value.

The current LMB API's for allocating and reserving memory use a

overwritten by another caller. Make these allocations and reservations
persistent using the alloced list data structure.
Two alloced lists are declared -- one for the available(free) memory,
and one for the used memory. Once full, the list can then be extended
at runtime.

Ilias Apalodimas <[email protected]> says:
The arm linker scripts had a mix of symbols and C defined variables in an
effort to emit relative references instead of absolute ones e.g [0]. A
linker bug prevented us from doing so [1] -- fixed since 2016.
This has led to confusion over the years, ending up with mixed section
definitions. Some sections are defined with overlays and different
definitions between v7 and v8 architectures.
For example __efi_runtime_rel_start/end is defined as a linker symbol for
armv8 and a C variable in armv7.
Linker scripts nowadays can emit relative references, as long as the symbol
definition is contained within the section definition. So let's switch most
of the C defined variables and clean up the arm sections.c file.
There's still a few symbols remaining -- __secure_start/end,
__secure_stack_start/end and __end which can be cleaned up
in a followup series.

It's worth noting that since the efi regions are affected by the change, booting
with EFI is preferable while testing. Booting the kernel only should be enough
since the efi stub and the kernel proper do request boottime and runtime
services respectively.
Something along the lines of
> virtio scan && load virtio 0 $kernel_addr_r Image && bootefi $kernel_addr_r
will work for QEMU aarch64.
Tested platforms:
- QEMU aarch64
- Xilinx kv260 kria starter kit & zynq
- QEMU armv7
- STM32MP157C-DK2

image_copy_start/end are defined as c variables in order to force the compiler
emit relative references. However, defining those within a section definition
will do the same thing since [0].
So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols within
a section.

__efi_runtime_start/end are defined as c variables for arm7 only in
order to force the compiler emit relative references. However, defining
those within a section definition will do the same thing since [0].
On top of that the v8 linker scripts define it as a symbol.
So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c and define them as a symbols within
the correct section.
