[PATCH qemu v21] spapr: Implement Open Firmware client interface
Posted by Alexey Kardashevskiy 2 years, 10 months ago
The PAPR platform describes an OS environment that's presented by
a combination of a hypervisor and firmware. The features it specifies
require collaboration between the firmware and the hypervisor.

Since the beginning, the runtime component of the firmware (RTAS) has
been implemented as a 20 byte shim which simply forwards it to
a hypercall implemented in qemu. The boot time firmware component is
SLOF - but a build that's specific to qemu, and has always needed to be
updated in sync with it. Even though we've managed to limit the amount
of runtime communication we need between qemu and SLOF, there's some,
and it has become increasingly awkward to handle as we've implemented
new features.

This implements a boot time OF client interface (CI) which is
enabled by a new "x-vof" pseries machine option (stands for "Virtual Open
Firmware). When enabled, QEMU implements the custom H_OF_CLIENT hcall
which implements Open Firmware Client Interface (OF CI). This allows
using a smaller stateless firmware which does not have to manage
the device tree.

The new "vof.bin" firmware image is included with source code under
pc-bios/. It also includes RTAS blob.

This implements a handful of CI methods just to get -kernel/-initrd
working. In particular, this implements the device tree fetching and
simple memory allocator - "claim" (an OF CI memory allocator) and updates
"/memory@0/available" to report the client about available memory.

This implements changing some device tree properties which we know how
to deal with, the rest is ignored. To allow changes, this skips
fdt_pack() when x-vof=on as not packing the blob leaves some room for
appending.

In absence of SLOF, this assigns phandles to device tree nodes to make
device tree traversing work.

When x-vof=on, this adds "/chosen" every time QEMU (re)builds a tree.

This adds basic instances support which are managed by a hash map
ihandle -> [phandle].

Before the guest started, the used memory is:
0..e60 - the initial firmware
8000..10000 - stack
400000.. - kernel
3ea0000.. - initramdisk

This OF CI does not implement "interpret".

Unlike SLOF, this does not format uninitialized nvram. Instead, this
includes a disk image with pre-formatted nvram.

With this basic support, this can only boot into kernel directly.
However this is just enough for the petitboot kernel and initradmdisk to
boot from any possible source. Note this requires reasonably recent guest
kernel with:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=df5be5be8735

The immediate benefit is much faster booting time which especially
crucial with fully emulated early CPU bring up environments. Also this
may come handy when/if GRUB-in-the-userspace sees light of the day.

This separates VOF and sPAPR in a hope that VOF bits may be reused by
other POWERPC boards which do not support pSeries.

This make VOF optional, it is disabled by default, add --enable-vof
to ./configure to enable it.

This assumes potential support for booting from QEMU backends
such as blockdev or netdev without devices/drivers used.

Changes:
v21:
* s/ld/ldz/ in entry.S
* moved CONFIG_VOF from default-configs/devices/ppc64-softmmu.mak to Kconfig
* made CONFIG_VOF optional
* s/l.lds/vof.lds/
* force 32 BE in spapr_machine_reset() instead of the firmware
* added checks for non-null methods of VofMachineIfClass
* moved OF_STACK_SIZE to vof.h, renamed to VOF_..., added a better comment
* added  path_offset wrapper for handling mixed case for addresses
after "@" in node names
* changed getprop() to check for actual "name" property in the fdt
* moved VOF_MEM_READ/VOF_MEM_WRITE to vof.h for sharing as (unlike similar
rtas_ld/ldl_be_*) they return error codes
* VOF_MEM_READ uses now address_space_read (it was address_space_read_full
before, not sure why)

v20:
* compile vof.bin with -mcpu=power4 for better compatibility
* s/std/stw/ in entry.S to make it work on ppc32
* fixed dt_available property to support both 32 and 64bit
* shuffled prom_args handling code
* do not enforce 32bit in MSR (again, to support 32bit platforms)

v19:
* put bootargs in the FDT
* moved setting properties to a VOF machine hook
* moved fw_size and claim for it to vof_init()
* added CROSS to the VOF's makefile
* simplified phandles assigning
* pass MachineState to all machine hooks instead of calling
qdev_get_machine (following QOM)
* bunch of smaller changes and added comments
* added simple test to attempt to start with x-vof=on

v18:
* fixed top addr (max address for "claim") on radix - it equals to ram_size
and vof->top_addr was uint32_t
* fixed "available" property which got broken in v14 but it is only visible
to clients which care (== grub)
* reshuffled vof_dt_memory_available() calls, added vof_init() to allow
vof_claim() before rendering the FDT

v17:
* mv hw/ppc/vof.h include/hw/ppc/vof.h
* VofMachineIfClass -> VofMachineClass; it is not VofMachineInterface as
nobody used this scheme, usually "Interface" is dropped, a couple of times
it is "xxxInterfaceClass" or "xxxIfClass", as used the latter as it is
used by include/hw/vmstate-if.h
* added SPDX
* other fixes from v16 review

v16:
* rebased on dwg/ppc-for-6.1
* s/SpaprVofInterface/VofMachineInterface/

v15:
* bugfix: claimed memory for the VOF itself
* ditched OF_STACK_ADDR and allocate one instead, now it starts from 0x8000
because it is aligned to its size (no particular reason though)
* coding style
* moved nvram.bin up one level
* ditched bool in the firmware
* made debugging code conditional using trace_event_get_state() + qemu_loglevel_mask()
* renamed the CAS interface to SpaprVofInterface
* added "write" which for now dumps the message and ihandle via
trace point for early debug assistance
* commented on when we allocate of_instances in vof_build_dt()
* store fw_size is SpaprMachine to let spapr_vof_reset() claim it
* many small fixes from v14's review

v14:
* check for truncates in readstr()
* ditched a separate vof_reset()
* spapr->vof is a pointer now, dropped the "on" field
* removed rtas_base from vof and updated comment why we allow setting it
* added myself to maintainers
* updated commit log about blockdev and other possible platforms
* added a note why new hcall is 0x5
* no in place endianness convertion in spapr_h_vof_client
* converted all cpu_physical_memory_read/write to address_space_rw
* git mv hw/ppc/spapr_vof_client.c hw/ppc/spapr_vof.c

v13:
* rebase on latest ppc-for-6.0
* shuffled code around to touch spapr.c less

v12:
* split VOF and SPAPR

v11:
* added g_autofree
* fixed gcc warnings
* fixed few leaks
* added nvram image to make "nvram --print-config" not crash;
Note that contrary to  MIN_NVRAM_SIZE (8 * KiB), the actual minimum size
is 16K, or it just does not work (empty output from "nvram")

v10:
* now rebased to compile with meson

v9:
* remove special handling of /rtas/rtas-size as now we always add it in QEMU
* removed leftovers from scsi/grub/stdout/stdin/...

v8:
* no read/write/seek
* no @dev in instances
* the machine flag is "x-vof" for now

v7:
* now we have a small firmware which loads at 0 as SLOF and starts from
0x100 as SLOF
* no MBR/ELF/GRUB business in QEMU anymore
* blockdev is a separate patch
* networking is a separate patch

v6:
* borrowed a big chunk of commit log introduction from David
* fixed initial stack pointer (points to the highest address of stack)
* traces for "interpret" and others
* disabled  translate_kernel_address() hack so grub can load (work in
progress)
* added "milliseconds" for grub
* fixed "claim" allocator again
* moved FDT_MAX_SIZE to spapr.h as spapr_of_client.c wants it too for CAS
* moved the most code possible from spapr.c to spapr_of_client.c, such as
RTAS, prom entry and FDT build/finalize
* separated blobs
* GRUB now proceeds to its console prompt (there are still other issues)
* parse MBR/GPT to find PReP and load GRUB

v5:
* made instances keep device and chardev pointers
* removed VIO dependencies
* print error if RTAS memory is not claimed as it should have been
* pack FDT as "quiesce"

v4:
* fixed open
* validate ihandles in "call-method"

v3:
* fixed phandles allocation
* s/__be32/uint32_t/ as we do not normally have __be32 type in qemu
* fixed size of /chosen/stdout
* bunch of renames
* do not create rtas properties at all, let the client deal with it;
instead setprop allows changing these in the FDT
* no more packing FDT when bios=off - nobody needs it and getprop does not
work otherwise
* allow updating initramdisk device tree properties (for zImage)
* added instances
* fixed stdout on OF's "write"
* removed special handling for stdout in OF client, spapr-vty handles it
instead

v2:
* fixed claim()
* added "setprop"
* cleaner client interface and RTAS blobs management
* boots to petitboot and further to the target system
* more trace points

v20

v20!

I haven't looked at it in detail yet, just some quick comments I have on

Typo? Has this become lwz?

This won't work for pegasos2, see below.

Why is this disabled by default? I pretty much need VOF in pegasos2 as 
there would be no other firmware otherwise. So it means I have to select 
VOF in pegasos2 config and then VOF itself cannot be optional any more. If 
you want it to be optional for spapr then you can't use CONFIG_VOF for 
that but need to add a separate CONFIG_VOF_SPAPR or CONFIG_SPAPR_VOF 
option that you can set to no by default even when CONFIG_VOF is yes and 
make VOF usage conditional on that variable within spapr files.

Hope this make sense. But I don't really see why you need to do that when 
you already have this turned off by default for spapr unless the x-vof 
option is used. Isn't that enough to make this optional? If not then you 
need another spapr specific CONFIG_* variable because CONFIG_PEGASOS2 has 
to select CONFIG_VOF as it will be its default firmware. For the same 
reason you should not put it behind a config option especially one that 
needs to be explicitely enabled.

Maybe also add a define for RTAS_SIZE here? We'll need to put that in the 
device tree but it depends on the rtas shim size that's part of VOF so it 
should be defined here instead of hardcoding it in boards that use VOF so 
it can be updated later at one place if needed.

These aren't much useful without the struct definition that you typically 
want to read data into using these.

I mean this one, this could be in vof.h too. But this may better be in a 
generic rtas.h with the rtas_* macros so maybe done at a later point. So 
maybe just forget it for now.

Also you're still not using your macros here. Why?

This is rtas-size for pseries:

_FDT(fdt_setprop_cell(fdt, rtas, "rtas-size", RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX +
           ms->smp.max_cpus * sizeof(uint64_t)*2 + sizeof(uint64_t)));

=> depends on cpus => depends on the command line.


RTAS_SIZE is not used by anything in pseries anymore, I'll send a patch 
to ditch it.

These are not reading to structs, it is either string buffer, cell(s) or 
binary blob. And they can return errors if the address is bad, this is 
the reason for them to exist.

Because it was quick cut-n-paste with some prototypes fixing :) My bad,

I mean you need to have at least the size of code in pc-bios/vof/entry.S 
hv_rtas where also hv_rtas_size is defined but that value is not available 
in QEMU where one needs to add it to the device tree. So a define for that 
should be here in vof.h. Currently I've counted instructions and have

     qemu_fdt_setprop_cell(fdt, "/rtas", "rtas-size", 20);

in pegasos2.c but that 20 should be some VOF_RTAS_SIZE instead that you 
define corresponding to hv_rtas_size. You'll probably need the same even 
after changing above rtas size calculation in spapr because client has to 
allocate memory for instantiate-rtas.

Nothing in the header but in the code including the header like 
implementing vof client call or rtas but maybe this should be a separate 
rtas.h that could also be reused by vof so this can be a clean up later, 
just forget it for now.

Ah fair point. I do not like "20" here and I think the right thing will 
be adding whatever number of bytes to rtas-size in the firmware itself 
and update it in QEMU via "setprop" as we do for "linux,rtas-base". And 
then do the same in SLOF.

This is not the base address but the size of the shim with the hypercall 
that instantiate-rtas copies. Why does it need to be updated? And why does 
it need to be more bytes than necessary? I don't know what you do for 
spapr and why do you need larger rtas-size than this but for pegasos2 this 
/rtas/rtas-size property is only used by guests to allocate memory for 
rtas so all I need is how many bytes are needed for hv_rtas in 
pc-bios/vof/entry.S which is what should be #defined in vof.h. I've found 
20 is just enough so you could add that to vof.h.

Because spapr has fwnmi, a firmware assisted dump mechanism which logs
things into part of the RTAS space.  It's a stupid interface, but
that's how PAPR specifies it.  You neither need nor want that for
Pegasos, so you can just have the rtas-size be the 20 bytes for the
tiny hypercall shim.

The vm kernel allocates the space for it.

What is necessary? It is definitely way more than 20 bytes.

I am thinking now that may be the property should be created by vof.bin 
and not QEMU, QEMU just has to tell how many bytes on top it needs.

I thought instantiate-rtas only copies the hv_rtas routine as the comment 
in qemu/pc-bios/vof/entry.S says and that routine is 20 bytes. What else 
is needed? If that's not enough then we even more need a define for it as 
boards using VOF have no idea otherwise.

Maybe. If it's always in /rtas/rtas-size on every OF implementation (if 
that path is kind of standard for rtas) then that could also work or you 
could have an vof_init_rtas() function or similar that sets this, maybe 
pass it "/rtas" as path argument or even the whole property path 
("/rtas/rtas-size") to avoid hard coding it and let the board tell it 
where it expects this property, then the value can be set by this function 
so that's within VOF then. But I think just adding a define for it in 
vof.h is enough and simple. Then boards can add whatever they need and put 
that in the property where they like.

It does only copy the code, correct.

There is no "#define XXX 20" anywhere though. QEMU does not know and 
does not need to know that it is 20, it does not manage the RTAS blob.

My idea is that boards like pegasos put a zero in such property and VOF 
then adjusts it to whatever it is + 20.

But it manages the rtas-size property which has to be at least the RTAS 
blob size so that's why I thought VOF should share this define in vof.h.

That could work too if VOF knows how to find this property. If it's the 
same on every board then it does not have to look through the whole tree 
for it.

After some thinking, I guess you just have to use 20 or some safe future 
proof number (64 bytes or similar) as I cannot reliably define the RTAS 
blob size in QEMU. Hacking the firmware seems even worse as the firmware 
does not really care. Well, I can say in QEMU it is 20 but the same code 
in spapr_rtas.c is supposed to work with the RTAS blob provided by VOF 
and by SLOF and even though these are identical now, this is not 
enforced ahyhow and not checked either.

In case I could not explain it clearly in my previous message I think the 
solution we want here is to drop these configure changes and let Kconfig 
configure this. The CONFIG_VOF option decides if vof itself is built (adds 
vof.c) and pegasos2 will select this so it will usually be yes by default. 
Your problem is that you're trying to use this variable in spapr to make 
it off by default but that does not work. You need to add another option 
for that (e.g. CONFIG_VOF_SPAPR or CONFIG_SPAPR_VOF whichever makes more 
sense) then you can set that to no despite CONFIG_VOF is yes and use that 
variable in spapr files and to add spapr_vof.c. Then no configure option 
is needed which does not even work for me: I get compile errors saying 
'poisoning existing macro "CONFIG_VOF"' if I try with --enable-vof or 
spapr fails to build if I try without --enable-vof but select CONFIG_VOF 
from pegasos2. I hope this makes sense now.

So this can't be CONFIG_VOF here if you want to be able to set it to no 
despite pegasos2 pulling in VOF so you need another SPAPR specific option 
for that in spapr specific parts with CONFIG_VOF selecting if vof itself 
is built it any board uses it. So CONFIG_PEGASOS2 has to select CONFIG_VOF 
and your SPAPR_VOF option should too if it's enabled that way vof.c will 
be added if either board is built but for SPAPR only if its VOF option is 
on.

I wonder if it's better to quote the section number and the title of the 
doc in case the URL here goes away in the future.

Does !! make sense here? I think testing for non-0 does not need it so you 
could just write spapr->vof without !!.

(Here when storing to a bool !! could make sense but what you have is 
better as it's clearer so I'm not suggesting to use !! here either. It's 
rarely useful, maybe only if you need a bool but does not have space to 
write the condition or it would be more confusing that way.)

There's some grammar problem with this sentence. I think it should be "are 
expected to be in lower case" but ask a native speaker.

Not only in "/" but anywhere. MorphOS walks the tree with nextprop and 
expects to get a name property for most nodes without ever explicitely 
querying "name". I've tested this with both the board firmware and VOF and 
with the board firmware a name property appears in most nodes but not all 
so I think at least SmartFirmware does the same and explicitely sets name 
on some nodes and otherwise returns the name from path if such property 
does not existbut queried. With this in VOF I can do the same and get same 
results so the change should be OK but the comment may be misleading now. 
Better to just say we return a value for "name" from path if queried but 
property does not exist which seems to be what OF does too.

> +- vof is a minimalistic firmware to work with -machine pseries,x-vof=on.

Maybe this should say what vof stands for and that it implements minimal 
OpenFirmware client interface, otherwise this one sentence does not help 
much those who have no idea what vof is. As this is a README that can be 
assumed that readers will not have an idea.

That's all I could find, I could not test it as it does not compile for me 
with --enable-vof so I'm waiting for next version dropping this configure 
option and splitting CONFIG_VOF into SPAPR specific option as I suggested 
above that I think should work and resolve this problem.

My problem is that I do not understand when we want VOF to be compiled 
in by default and when we do not. For a moment I thought we do not want 
it in by default but now it sounds like we do. If that is so, then 
CONFIG_VOF + selecting it from PSERIES and PEGASOS should do. Or I am 
missing the point again?

If VOF is compiled it, why would I want it to be still disabled for 
PSERIES? The code is in, let it work.

The binding (the URL clearly suggests it is a "binding") says 32K is the 
minimum, what else is here to quote? The doc does not explain why anyway.

I prefer this way and I would rather do this that "!!" but again 
precedence confuses me some times so up there I'd need braces for the 
condition and then folks start asking "why you need braces" :)
I do not need braces here as "=" has the priority (although the fact 
that it returns a value is just bizzarre).

Fair point, after checking with o1275 and

I don't know what spapr wants, for pegasos2 VOF will be the default 
firmware and I want pegasos2 to be enabled by default (like other boards) 
so this means CONFIG_VOF will also be enabled by default via select VOF in 
CONFIG_PEGASOS2. So if the x-vof option in spapr is not enough and you 
want to be able to configure it off for spapr then you need another 
CONFIG_something option for that and cannot rely on CONFIG_VOF for it 
because CONFIG_VOF is on if any board that uses VOF is compiled. If you're 
OK with compiling it in but disabled by x-vof by default then no need to 
have another option. In both cases you'll have to select VOF somewhere for 
your board, either in CONFIG_PSERIES or in the new option that decides if 
VOF is built for spapr. At least that's how I understand Kconfig.

That's something to decide for spapr maintainers, I just want to be able 
to use CONFIG_VOF from CONFIG_PEGASOS2 and be it on by default.

I thought maybe saying "section x.x of OpenFirmware PPC binding says 
minimum stack size is 32K" which can also be understood if the link points 
to nowhere in the future. You can still add a link if you want but just 
have the relevant info in the comment so one does not need to read the 
whole doc to find it.

OK but it's not needed here at all. With or without !! you should get the 
same result, !! is only needed if you need to make sure value is bool and 
not some number which is not needed here, you just test if spapr->vof is 0 
or not. So writing just that is simpler and people not familiar with !! 
won't be confused. (I had somebedy ask about !! before in one of my 
patches so I think this should only be used where necessary.) Also less 
operators in an expression means less precedence to care for ;-)

I agree that this way writing with explicit != NULL is clear so I prefer 
that here too. I just mentioned that here !! might make more sense here 
than above.

> and I would rather do this that "!!" but again precedence 
> confuses me some times so up there I'd need braces for the condition and then

For precedence "man operator" has a quick table to help, it's hard to 
remember. In my opinion !! is only useful if you need to convert something 
like a flag to a bool like bool = !!(reg & BIT(x)) otherwise it's probably 
clearer to do without it as it may confuse those not familiar with it.

> I do not need braces here as "=" has the priority (although the fact that it 
> returns a value is just bizzarre).

Everything in C has practical reasons. I think assignment returning a 
value is so you could write a = b = 0; although this is discouraged 
usually. Also you can do while ((c = getc())) so this is sometimes useful 
to have = return a value.

That one yes, but I've meant writing

(OfInstance *)g_hash_table_lookup

instead of

(OfInstance *) g_hash_table_lookup

which checkpatch doesn't seem to mind and I did not find anything about 
this in coding style doc so maybe both are OK? I prefer casts without a 
space so it's clear what is being cast but if there's no style for that 
and checkpatch accepts it then use what you like.

I did not read the whole doc - I opened the link, "ctrl-f", "stack" -

I'll do what you suggested but I really see no value.

>>>>> Changes:
>>>>> v21:
>>>>> * s/ld/ldz/ in entry.S
>>>>> * moved CONFIG_VOF from default-configs/devices/ppc64-softmmu.mak to 
>>>>> Kconfig
>>>>> * made CONFIG_VOF optional
>>>>> * s/l.lds/vof.lds/

>>>>> * added  path_offset wrapper for handling mixed case for addresses
>>>>> after "@" in node names
>>>>> * changed getprop() to check for actual "name" property in the fdt
>>>>> * moved VOF_MEM_READ/VOF_MEM_WRITE to vof.h for sharing as (unlike 
>>>>> similar

>>>>> before, not sure why)
>>>>> 
>>>>> v20:
>>>>> * compile vof.bin with -mcpu=power4 for better compatibility

>>>>> * added simple test to attempt to start with x-vof=on
>>>>>

>>>>> * fixed top addr (max address for "claim") on radix - it equals to

>>>>> * fixed "available" property which got broken in v14 but it is only 
>>>>> visible
>>>>> to clients which care (== grub)

>>>>> 
>>>>> v17:
>>>>> * mv hw/ppc/vof.h include/hw/ppc/vof.h
>>>>> * VofMachineIfClass -> VofMachineClass; it is not VofMachineInterface as

The value simply is that in the future if www.devicetree.org is gone or 
the document is moved without redirect and the URL just gives you 404 or 
server not found then you can still know what the comment means if it says 
that according to OF PPC binding, Section 8.2.2. Initial Stack this should 
be the correct size. This is clear even when the URL is not available but 
with just the URL like above it's hard to verify if that case.
