PATCH v2 1/3 arm: discard relocation entry for secure section

The code such as PSCI in section named secure is bundled with u-boot image, and when bootm, the code will be copied to their runtime address same to compliation/linking address - CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE.

When compile the PSCI code and link it into the u-boot image, there will be relocation entries in .rel.dyn section for PSCI. Actually, we do not needs these relocation entries.

If still keep the relocation entries in .rel.dyn section, r0 at line 103 and 106 in arch/arm/lib/relocate.S may be an invalid address which may not support read/write for one SoC.

102         /* relative fix: increase location by offset */
103         add     r0, r0, r4
104         ldr     r1, [r0]
105         add     r1, r1, r4
106         str     r1, [r0]

So discard the relocation entries for code in secure section.

Do you really need psci_writel() psci_readl() functions? Why not simple call writel and readl instead?

I don't like this object module order sensitivity.

The object module order of secure code modules should not affect the resulting binary to the point of possibly preventing it from working -- after all, the object module order of 'vanilla' image code does not matter (1). We don't have this kind of problem when defining the image start and end, why would we have it with the secure code start and end?

IOW, psci_text_end could (and should) be defined in the linker script, not in an object module.

(1) except for start.S, which *must* be linked first, and even that is not done through object order but through linker script section order.

Secure code use psci_text_end to calculate stack top point.

Yes, and that does not require defining psci_text_end in an object module, nor does it require specific object module ordering.

If psci_text_end in mid of secure text,
And psci_text_end + 1k < total secure text size, stack will overwrite the code.

This is a good reason to allocate the PSCCI stack and create a symbol for its top in the linker script.

The object module order of secure code modules should not affect the resulting binary to the point of possibly preventing it from working
-- after all, the object module order of 'vanilla' image code does not matter (1). We don't have this kind of problem when defining the image start and end, why would we have it with the secure code start and

end?

Secure code use psci_text_end to calculate stack top point.

Yes, and that does not require defining psci_text_end in an object module, nor does it require specific object module ordering.

If psci_text_end in mid of secure text,
And psci_text_end + 1k < total secure text size, stack will overwrite the code.

This is a good reason to allocate the PSCCI stack and create a symbol for its top in the linker script.

PATCH v2 1/3 arm: discard relocation entry for secure section

In reply to Peng Fan

Hello Peng,

Quoted 12 lines · Peng Fan

The code such as PSCI in section named secure is bundled with u-boot image, and when bootm, the code will be copied to their runtime address same to compliation/linking address - CONFIG_ARMV7_SECURE_BASE.

When compile the PSCI code and link it into the u-boot image, there will be relocation entries in .rel.dyn section for PSCI. Actually, we do not needs these relocation entries.

If still keep the relocation entries in .rel.dyn section, r0 at line 103 and 106 in arch/arm/lib/relocate.S may be an invalid address which may not support read/write for one SoC.

Quoted 7 lines
102         /* relative fix: increase location by offset */
103         add     r0, r0, r4
104         ldr     r1, [r0]
105         add     r1, r1, r4
106         str     r1, [r0]

So discard the relocation entries for code in secure section.

Actually, I'll need you to do a slight change -- that's my fault, and karma even ensured that my own self of two years ago would be the one to come and kick me. See:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-December/168652.html

Which basically is about never discarding any section in the ELF file, and only copying a subset of the ELF sections into the binary file.

So rather than discarding the secure relocation records, let's move them to another section as you had proposed, and thus change the line

I do not know how to generate non-relocatable code only for the secure text. Since -mword-relocations and -pie are global flags, I do not know how to disable mword-relocations when compiling PSCI and other secure text.

PATCH v2 1/3 arm: discard relocation entry for secure section

Hello Peng,

Quoted 5 lines · Peng Fan

Hello Albert,

I do not know how to generate non-relocatable code only for the secure text. Since -mword-relocations and -pie are global flags, I do not know how to disable mword-relocations when compiling PSCI and other secure text.

Actually, I haven't even found a compiler or gcc option to entirely remove relocations altogether.

Quoted 11 lines

Is this ok for you?

Functionally, it works -- I've just checked it by comparing u-boot.map files of a mx7dsabresd build with and without the DISCARD. Not a single symbol from the text and data section gets changed.

The only missing thing left is a comment before the DISCARD line, explaining both why .rel._secure* input sections have to be discarded, and also explaining why this is done it right at the start of the output sections.

Thanks for your patience. :)

Ok. Will add the comments in V3.
