For the purposes of this document, the +``early boot process`` refers to any code that runs before the final virtual +mapping is set up. + +Pre-kernel Requirements and Constraints +======================================= + +The RISC-V kernel expects the following of bootloaders and platform firmware: + +Register state +-------------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects: + + * ``$a0`` to contain the hartid of the current core. + * ``$a1`` to contain the address of the devicetree in memory. + +CSR state +--------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects: + + * ``$satp = 0``: the MMU, if present, must be disabled. + +Reserved memory for resident firmware +------------------------------------- + +The RISC-V kernel must not map any resident memory, or memory protected with +PMPs, in the direct mapping, so the firmware must correctly mark those regions +as per the devicetree specification and/or the UEFI specification. + +Kernel location +--------------- + +The RISC-V kernel expects to be placed at a PMD boundary (2MB aligned for rv64 +and 4MB aligned for rv32). Note that the EFI stub will physically relocate the +kernel if that's not the case. + +Hardware description +-------------------- + +The firmware can pass either a devicetree or ACPI tables to the RISC-V kernel. + +The devicetree is either passed directly to the kernel from the previous stage +using the ``$a1`` register, or when booting with UEFI, it can be passed using the +EFI configuration table. + +The ACPI tables are passed to the kernel using the EFI configuration table. In +this case, a tiny devicetree is still created by the EFI stub. Please refer to +"EFI stub and devicetree" section below for details about this devicetree. + +Kernel entry +------------ + +On SMP systems, there are 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 mostly used to + support older firmwares without SBI HSM extension and M-mode RISC-V kernel. +- ``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. The ordered booting method is the preferred booting method for + booting the RISC-V kernel because it can support CPU hotplug and kexec. + +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`` devicetree +node and abide by the devicetree 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 devicetree +specification v0.4-rc1). + +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`` devicetree subnode (**deprecated**). + +Any new firmware must implement ``RISCV_EFI_BOOT_PROTOCOL`` as the devicetree +based approach is deprecated now. + +Early Boot Requirements and Constraints +======================================= + +The RISC-V kernel's early boot process operates under the following constraints: + +EFI stub and devicetree +----------------------- + +When booting with UEFI, the devicetree is supplemented (or created) by the EFI +stub with the same parameters as arm64 which are described at the paragraph +"UEFI kernel support on ARM" in Documentation/arch/arm/uefi.rst. + +Virtual mapping installation +---------------------------- + +The installation of the virtual mapping is done in 2 steps in the RISC-V kernel: + +1. ``setup_vm()`` installs a temporary kernel mapping in ``early_pg_dir`` which + allows discovery of 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 ``early_pg_dir`` page table is + statically allocated (using only one table for each level). + +2. ``setup_vm_final()`` creates the final kernel mapping in ``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 ``virt_to_phys()`` and ``phys_to_virt()`` to be able to correctly convert +direct mapping addresses to physical addresses, they need to know the start of +the DRAM. This happens after step 1, right before step 2 installs the direct +mapping (see ``setup_bootmem()`` function in arch/riscv/mm/init.c). Any usage of +those macros before the final virtual mapping is installed must be carefully +examined. + +Devicetree mapping via fixmap +----------------------------- + +As the ``reserved_mem`` array is initialized with virtual addresses established +by ``setup_vm()``, and used with the mapping established by +``setup_vm_final()``, the RISC-V kernel uses the fixmap region to map the +devicetree. This ensures that the devicetree remains accessible by both virtual +mappings. + +Pre-MMU execution +----------------- + +A few pieces of code need to run before even the first virtual mapping is +established. These are the installation of the first virtual mapping itself, +patching of early alternatives and the early parsing of the kernel command line. +That code 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. +- *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/arch/riscv/cmodx.rst b/Documentation/arch/riscv/cmodx.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..40ba53bed5df --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/arch/riscv/cmodx.rst @@ -0,0 +1,130 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================================================== +Concurrent Modification and Execution of Instructions (CMODX) for RISC-V Linux +============================================================================== + +CMODX is a programming technique where a program executes instructions that were +modified by the program itself. Instruction storage and the instruction cache +(icache) are not guaranteed to be synchronized on RISC-V hardware. Therefore, the +program must enforce its own synchronization with the unprivileged fence.i +instruction. + +CMODX in the Kernel Space +------------------------- + +Dynamic ftrace +--------------------- + +Essentially, dynamic ftrace directs the control flow by inserting a function +call at each patchable function entry, and patches it dynamically at runtime to +enable or disable the redirection. In the case of RISC-V, 2 instructions, +AUIPC + JALR, are required to compose a function call. However, it is impossible +to patch 2 instructions and expect that a concurrent read-side executes them +without a race condition. This series makes atmoic code patching possible in +RISC-V ftrace. Kernel preemption makes things even worse as it allows the old +state to persist across the patching process with stop_machine(). + +In order to get rid of stop_machine() and run dynamic ftrace with full kernel +preemption, we partially initialize each patchable function entry at boot-time, +setting the first instruction to AUIPC, and the second to NOP. Now, atmoic +patching is possible because the kernel only has to update one instruction. +According to Ziccif, as long as an instruction is naturally aligned, the ISA +guarantee an atomic update. + +By fixing down the first instruction, AUIPC, the range of the ftrace trampoline +is limited to +-2K from the predetermined target, ftrace_caller, due to the lack +of immediate encoding space in RISC-V. To address the issue, we introduce +CALL_OPS, where an 8B naturally align metadata is added in front of each +pacthable function. The metadata is resolved at the first trampoline, then the +execution can be derect to another custom trampoline. + +CMODX in the User Space +----------------------- + +Though fence.i is an unprivileged instruction, the default Linux ABI prohibits +the use of fence.i in userspace applications. At any point the scheduler may +migrate a task onto a new hart. If migration occurs after the userspace +synchronized the icache and instruction storage with fence.i, the icache on the +new hart will no longer be clean. This is due to the behavior of fence.i only +affecting the hart that it is called on. Thus, the hart that the task has been +migrated to may not have synchronized instruction storage and icache. + +There are two ways to solve this problem: use the riscv_flush_icache() syscall, +or use the ``PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX`` prctl() and emit fence.i in +userspace. The syscall performs a one-off icache flushing operation. The prctl +changes the Linux ABI to allow userspace to emit icache flushing operations. + +As an aside, "deferred" icache flushes can sometimes be triggered in the kernel. +At the time of writing, this only occurs during the riscv_flush_icache() syscall +and when the kernel uses copy_to_user_page(). These deferred flushes happen only +when the memory map being used by a hart changes. If the prctl() context caused +an icache flush, this deferred icache flush will be skipped as it is redundant. +Therefore, there will be no additional flush when using the riscv_flush_icache() +syscall inside of the prctl() context. + +prctl() Interface +--------------------- + +Call prctl() with ``PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX`` as the first argument.

For value-like keys, matching + means to be the exact same as the value. For boolean-like keys, matching + means the result of a logical AND of the pair's value with the CPU's value is + exactly the same as the pair's value.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +arch/riscv maintenance guidelines for developers +================================================ + +Overview +-------- +The RISC-V instruction set architecture is developed in the open: +in-progress drafts are available for all to review and to experiment +with implementations. New module or extension drafts can change +during the development process - sometimes in ways that are +incompatible with previous drafts. This flexibility can present a +challenge for RISC-V Linux maintenance. Linux maintainers disapprove +of churn, and the Linux development process prefers well-reviewed and +tested code over experimental code. We wish to extend these same +principles to the RISC-V-related code that will be accepted for +inclusion in the kernel. + +Patchwork +--------- + +RISC-V has a patchwork instance, where the status of patches can be checked: + + https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/ + +If your patch does not appear in the default view, the RISC-V maintainers have +likely either requested changes, or expect it to be applied to another tree. + +Automation runs against this patchwork instance, building/testing patches as +they arrive. The automation applies patches against the current HEAD of the +RISC-V `for-next` and `fixes` branches, depending on whether the patch has been +detected as a fix. Failing those, it will use the RISC-V `master` branch. +The exact commit to which a series has been applied will be noted on patchwork. +Patches for which any of the checks fail are unlikely to be applied and in most +cases will need to be resubmitted. + +Submit Checklist Addendum +------------------------- +We'll only accept patches for new modules or extensions if the +specifications for those modules or extensions are listed as being +unlikely to be incompatibly changed in the future. For +specifications from the RISC-V foundation this means "Frozen" or +"Ratified", for the UEFI forum specifications this means a published +ECR. (Developers may, of course, maintain their own Linux kernel trees +that contain code for any draft extensions that they wish.) + +Additionally, the RISC-V specification allows implementers to create +their own custom extensions. These custom extensions aren't required +to go through any review or ratification process by the RISC-V +Foundation. To avoid the maintenance complexity and potential +performance impact of adding kernel code for implementor-specific +RISC-V extensions, we'll only consider patches for extensions that either: + +- Have been officially frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation, or +- Have been implemented in hardware that is widely available, per standard + Linux practice. + +(Implementers, may, of course, maintain their own Linux kernel trees containing +code for any custom extensions that they wish.) diff --git a/Documentation/arch/riscv/uabi.rst b/Documentation/arch/riscv/uabi.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..243e40062e34 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/arch/riscv/uabi.rst @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +..

Single-letter extensions come first, in canonical order. + The canonical order is "IMAFDQLCBKJTPVH". + +#. All multi-letter extensions will be separated from other extensions by an + underscore. + +#. Additional standard extensions (starting with 'Z') will be sorted after + single-letter extensions and before any higher-privileged extensions. + +#. For additional standard extensions, the first letter following the 'Z' + conventionally indicates the most closely related alphabetical + extension category. If multiple 'Z' extensions are named, they will be + ordered first by category, in canonical order, as listed above, then + alphabetically within a category. + +#. Standard supervisor-level extensions (starting with 'S') will be listed + after standard unprivileged extensions. If multiple supervisor-level + extensions are listed, they will be ordered alphabetically. + +#. Standard machine-level extensions (starting with 'Zxm') will be listed + after any lower-privileged, standard extensions. If multiple machine-level + extensions are listed, they will be ordered alphabetically. + +#. Non-standard extensions (starting with 'X') will be listed after all standard + extensions. If multiple non-standard extensions are listed, they will be + ordered alphabetically. + +An example string following the order is:: + + rv64imadc_zifoo_zigoo_zafoo_sbar_scar_zxmbaz_xqux_xrux + +"isa" and "hart isa" lines in /proc/cpuinfo +------------------------------------------- + +The "isa" line in /proc/cpuinfo describes the lowest common denominator of +RISC-V ISA extensions recognized by the kernel and implemented on all harts. The +"hart isa" line, in contrast, describes the set of extensions recognized by the +kernel on the particular hart being described, even if those extensions may not +be present on all harts in the system. + +In both lines, the presence of an extension guarantees only that the hardware +has the described capability. Additional kernel support or policy changes may be +required before an extension's capability is fully usable by userspace programs. +Similarly, for S-mode extensions, presence in one of these lines does not +guarantee that the kernel is taking advantage of the extension, or that the +feature will be visible in guest VMs managed by this kernel. + +Inversely, the absence of an extension in these lines does not necessarily mean +the hardware does not support that feature. The running kernel may not recognize +the extension, or may have deliberately removed it from the listing. + +Misaligned accesses +------------------- + +Misaligned scalar accesses are supported in userspace, but they may perform +poorly. Misaligned vector accesses are only supported if the Zicclsm extension +is supported. + +Pointer masking +--------------- + +Support for pointer masking in userspace (the Supm extension) is provided via +the ``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` and ``PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` ``prctl()`` +operations. Pointer masking is disabled by default. To enable it, userspace +must call ``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` with the ``PR_PMLEN`` field set to the +number of mask/tag bits needed by the application. ``PR_PMLEN`` is interpreted +as a lower bound; if the kernel is unable to satisfy the request, the +``PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` operation will fail. The actual number of tag bits +is returned in ``PR_PMLEN`` by the ``PR_GET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL`` operation. + +Additionally, when pointer masking is enabled (``PR_PMLEN`` is greater than 0), +a tagged address ABI is supported, with the same interface and behavior as +documented for AArch64 (Documentation/arch/arm64/tagged-address-abi.rst). diff --git a/Documentation/arch/riscv/vector.rst b/Documentation/arch/riscv/vector.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..3987f5f76a9d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/arch/riscv/vector.rst @@ -0,0 +1,140 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================================= +Vector Extension Support for RISC-V Linux +========================================= + +This document briefly outlines the interface provided to userspace by Linux in +order to support the use of the RISC-V Vector Extension. + +1. prctl() Interface +--------------------- + +Two new prctl() calls are added to allow programs to manage the enablement +status for the use of Vector in userspace. The intended usage guideline for +these interfaces is to give init systems a way to modify the availability of V +for processes running under its domain. Calling these interfaces is not +recommended in libraries routines because libraries should not override policies +configured from the parent process. Also, users must note that these interfaces +are not portable to non-Linux, nor non-RISC-V environments, so it is discourage +to use in a portable code. To get the availability of V in an ELF program, +please read :c:macro:`COMPAT_HWCAP_ISA_V` bit of :c:macro:`ELF_HWCAP` in the +auxiliary vector. + +* prctl(PR_RISCV_V_SET_CONTROL, unsigned long arg) + + Sets the Vector enablement status of the calling thread, where the control + argument consists of two 2-bit enablement statuses and a bit for inheritance + mode. Other threads of the calling process are unaffected. + + Enablement status is a tri-state value each occupying 2-bit of space in + the control argument: + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_DEFAULT`: Use the system-wide default + enablement status on execve(). The system-wide default setting can be + controlled via sysctl interface (see sysctl section below). + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_ON`: Allow Vector to be run for the + thread. + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_OFF`: Disallow Vector. Executing Vector + instructions under such condition will trap and casuse the termination of the thread. + + arg: The control argument is a 5-bit value consisting of 3 parts, and + accessed by 3 masks respectively. + + The 3 masks, PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_CUR_MASK, + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK, and PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_INHERIT + represents bit[1:0], bit[3:2], and bit[4]. bit[1:0] accounts for the + enablement status of current thread, and the setting at bit[3:2] takes place + at next execve(). bit[4] defines the inheritance mode of the setting in + bit[3:2]. + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_CUR_MASK`: bit[1:0]: Account for the + Vector enablement status for the calling thread. The calling thread is + not able to turn off Vector once it has been enabled. The prctl() call + fails with EPERM if the value in this mask is PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_OFF + but the current enablement status is not off. Setting + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_DEFAULT here takes no effect but to set back + the original enablement status. + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK`: bit[3:2]: Account for the + Vector enablement setting for the calling thread at the next execve() + system call. If PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_DEFAULT is used in this mask, + then the enablement status will be decided by the system-wide + enablement status when execve() happen. + + * :c:macro:`PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_INHERIT`: bit[4]: the inheritance + mode for the setting at PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK. If the bit + is set then the following execve() will not clear the setting in both + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK and PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_INHERIT. + This setting persists across changes in the system-wide default value. + + Return value: + * 0 on success; + * EINVAL: Vector not supported, invalid enablement status for current or + next mask; + * EPERM: Turning off Vector in PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_CUR_MASK if Vector + was enabled for the calling thread. + + On success: + * A valid setting for PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_CUR_MASK takes place + immediately. The enablement status specified in + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK happens at the next execve() call, or + all following execve() calls if PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_INHERIT bit is + set. + * Every successful call overwrites a previous setting for the calling + thread. + +* prctl(PR_RISCV_V_GET_CONTROL) + + Gets the same Vector enablement status for the calling thread. Setting for + next execve() call and the inheritance bit are all OR-ed together. + + Note that ELF programs are able to get the availability of V for itself by + reading :c:macro:`COMPAT_HWCAP_ISA_V` bit of :c:macro:`ELF_HWCAP` in the + auxiliary vector. + + Return value: + * a nonnegative value on success; + * EINVAL: Vector not supported. + +2. System runtime configuration (sysctl) +----------------------------------------- + +To mitigate the ABI impact of expansion of the signal stack, a +policy mechanism is provided to the administrators, distro maintainers, and +developers to control the default Vector enablement status for userspace +processes in form of sysctl knob: + +* /proc/sys/abi/riscv_v_default_allow + + Writing the text representation of 0 or 1 to this file sets the default + system enablement status for new starting userspace programs. Valid values + are: + + * 0: Do not allow Vector code to be executed as the default for new processes. + * 1: Allow Vector code to be executed as the default for new processes. + + Reading this file returns the current system default enablement status. + + At every execve() call, a new enablement status of the new process is set to + the system default, unless: + + * PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_INHERIT is set for the calling process, and the + setting in PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK is not + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_DEFAULT. Or, + + * The setting in PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_NEXT_MASK is not + PR_RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_DEFAULT. + + Modifying the system default enablement status does not affect the enablement + status of any existing process of thread that do not make an execve() call. + +3.
