SubjectRISC-V reserved memory problems
Date
Hey all,
We've run into a bit of a problem with reserved memory on PolarFire, or
more accurately a pair of problems that seem to have opposite fixes.

The first of these problems is triggered when trying to implement a
remoteproc driver. To get the reserved memory buffer, remoteproc
does an of_reserved_mem_lookup(), something like:

np = of_parse_phandle(pdev->of_node, "memory-region", 0);
if (!np)
return -EINVAL;

rmem = of_reserved_mem_lookup(np);
if (!rmem)
return -EINVAL;

of_reserved_mem_lookup() then uses reserved_mem[i].name to try and find
a match - but this was triggering kernel panics for us. We did some
debugging and found that the name string's pointer was pointing to an
address in the 0x4000_0000 range. The minimum reproduction for this
crash is attached - it hacks in some print_reserved_mem()s into
setup_vm_final() around a tlb flush so you can see the before/after.
(You'll need a reserved memory node in your dts to replicate)

The output is like so, with the same crash as in the remoteproc driver:

[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
[ 0.000000] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! ]---

We traced this back to early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() in
setup_bootmem() - moving it later back up the boot sequence to
after the dt has been remapped etc has fixed the problem for us.

The least movement to get it working is attached, and also pushed
here: git.kernel.org/conor/c/1735589baefc

The second problem is a bit more complicated to explain - but we
found the solution conflicted with the remoteproc fix as we had
to move early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() _earlier_ in the boot
process to solve this one.

We want to have a node in our devicetree that contains some memory
that is non-cached & marked as reserved-memory. Maybe we have just
missed something, but from what we've seen:
- the really early setup looks at the dtb, picks the highest bit
of memory and puts the dtb etc there so it can start using it
- early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() is then called, which figures
out if memory is reserved or not.

Unfortunately, the highest bit of memory is the non-cached bit so
everything falls over, but we can avoid this by moving the call to
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() above the dtb memblock alloc that
takes place right before it in setup_bootmem().

Obviously, both of these changes are moving the function call in
opposite directions and we can only really do one of them. We are not
sure if what we are doing with the non-cached reserved-memory section
is just not permitted & cannot work - or if this is something that
was overlooked for RISC-V specifically and works for other archs.

It does seem like the first issue is a real bug, and I am happy to
submit the patch for that whenever - but having two problems with
opposite fixes seemed as if there was something else lurking that we
just don't have enough understanding to detect.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Conor.

Subject: riscv: fix reserved memory setup

Currently, RISC-V sets up reserved memory using the "early" copy of the
device tree. As a result, when trying to get a reserved memory region
using of_reserved_mem_lookup(), the pointer to reserved memory regions
is using the early, pre-virtual-memory address which causes a kernel
panic.

Move early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() further along the boot seqeunce
so that the names are using the correct virtual memory addresses.
