SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================= +Early boot requirements/constraints on RISC-V +============================================= + +:Author: Alexandre Ghiti +:Date: 23 May 2023 + +This document describes what the RISC-V kernel expects from the previous stages +and the firmware, but also the constraints that any developer must have in mind +when touching the early boot process, e.g. before the final virtual mapping is +setup. + +Pre-kernel boot (Expectations from firmware) +============================================ + +Registers state +--------------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects: + + * `$a0` to contain the hartid of the current core. + * `$a1` to contain the address of the device tree in memory. + +CSR state +--------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects: + + * `$satp = 0`: the MMU must be disabled. + +Reserved memory for resident firmware +------------------------------------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects the firmware to mark any resident memory with the +`no-map` flag, thus the kernel won't map those regions in the direct mapping +(avoiding issues with hibernation, speculative accesses and probably other +subsystems). + +Kernel location +--------------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects to be placed at a PMD boundary (2MB for rv64 and 4MB +for rv32). Note though that the EFI stub will physically relocate the kernel if +that's not the case. + +Device-tree +----------- + +The RISC-V kernel always expects a device tree, it is: + +- either passed directly to the kernel from the previous stage using the `$a1` + register, +- or when booting with UEFI, the device tree will be retrieved by the EFI stub + using the EFI configuration table or it will be created. + +Bootflow +-------- + +There exist 2 methods to enter the kernel: + +- `RISCV_BOOT_SPINWAIT`: the firmware releases all harts in the kernel, one hart + wins a lottery and executes the early boot code while the other harts are + parked waiting for the initialization to finish. This method is now + **deprecated**. +- Ordered booting: the firmware releases only one hart that will execute the + initialization phase and then will start all other harts using the SBI HSM + extension. + +UEFI +---- + +UEFI memory map +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When booting with UEFI, the RISC-V kernel will use only the EFI memory map to +populate the system memory. + +The UEFI firmware must parse the subnodes of the `/reserved-memory` device tree +node and abide by the device tree specification to convert the attributes of +those subnodes (`no-map` and `reusable`) into their correct EFI equivalent +(refer to section "3.5.4 /reserved-memory and UEFI" of the device tree +specification). + +RISCV_EFI_BOOT_PROTOCOL +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When booting with UEFI, the EFI stub requires the boot hartid in order to pass +it to the RISC-V kernel in `$a1`. The EFI stub retrieves the boot hartid using +one of the following methods: + +- `RISCV_EFI_BOOT_PROTOCOL` (**preferred**). +- `boot-hartid` device tree subnode (**deprecated**). + +Any new firmware must implement `RISCV_EFI_BOOT_PROTOCOL` as the device tree +based approach is deprecated now. + +During kernel boot: (Kernel internals) +====================================== + +EFI stub and device tree +------------------------ + +When booting with UEFI, the device tree is supplemented by the EFI stub with the +following parameters (largely shared with arm64 in Documentation/arm/uefi.rst): + +========================== ====== =========================================== +Name Size Description +========================== ====== =========================================== +linux,uefi-system-table 64-bit Physical address of the UEFI System Table. + +linux,uefi-mmap-start 64-bit Physical address of the UEFI memory map, + populated by the UEFI GetMemoryMap() call. + +linux,uefi-mmap-size 32-bit Size in bytes of the UEFI memory map + pointed to in previous entry. + +linux,uefi-mmap-desc-size 32-bit Size in bytes of each entry in the UEFI + memory map. + +linux,uefi-mmap-desc-ver 32-bit Version of the mmap descriptor format. + +kaslr-seed 64-bit Entropy used to randomize the kernel image + base address location. + +bootargs Kernel command line +========================== ====== =========================================== + +Virtual mapping setup +--------------------- + +The installation of the virtual mapping is done in 2 steps in the RISC-V kernel: + +1. :c:func:`setup_vm` installs a temporary kernel mapping in + :c:var:`early_pg_dir` which allows to discover the system memory: only the + kernel text/data are mapped at this point. When establishing this mapping, + no allocation can be done (since the system memory is not known yet), so + :c:var:`early_pg_dir` page table is statically allocated (using only one + table for each level). + +2. :c:func:`setup_vm_final` creates the final kernel mapping in + :c:var:`swapper_pg_dir` and takes advantage of the discovered system memory + to create the linear mapping. When establishing this mapping, the kernel + can allocate memory but cannot access it directly (since the direct mapping + is not present yet), so it uses temporary mappings in the fixmap region to + be able to access the newly allocated page table levels. + +For :c:func:`virt_to_phys` and :c:func:`phys_to_virt` to be able to correctly +convert direct mapping addresses to physical addresses, it needs to know the +start of the DRAM: this happens after 1, right before 2 installs the direct +mapping (see :c:func:`setup_bootmem` function in arch/riscv/mm/init.c). So +any usage of those macros before the final virtual mapping is installed must be +carefully examined. + +Device-tree mapping via fixmap +------------------------------ + +The RISC-V kernel uses the fixmap region to map the device tree because the +device tree virtual mapping must remain the same between :c:func:`setup_vm` and +:c:func:`setup_vm_final` calls since :c:var:`reserved_mem` array is initialized +with virtual addresses established by :c:func:`setup_vm` and used with the +mapping established by :c:func:`setup_vm_final`. + +Pre-MMU execution +----------------- + +Any code that executes before even the first virtual mapping is established +must be very carefully compiled as: + +- `-fno-pie`: This is needed for relocatable kernels which use `-fPIE`, since + otherwise, any access to a global symbol would go through the GOT which is + only relocated virtually. +- `-mcmodel=medany`: Any access to a global symbol must be PC-relative to avoid + any relocations to happen before the MMU is setup. +- Also note that *all* instrumentation must also be disabled (that includes + KASAN, ftrace and others). + +As using a symbol from a different compilation unit requires this unit to be +compiled with those flags, we advise, as much as possible, not to use external +symbols. diff --git a/Documentation/riscv/index.rst b/Documentation/riscv/index.rst index 175a91db0200..1f66062def6d 100644 --- a/Documentation/riscv/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/riscv/index.rst @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ RISC-V architecture .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 + boot boot-image-header vm-layout hwprobe
