PATCH 1/1 RISC-V: take text_mutex during alternative patching

From: Conor Dooley <[email protected]>

Guenter reported a splat during boot, that Samuel pointed out was the lockdep assertion failing in patch_insn_write():

This issue was exposed by 702e64550b12 ("riscv: fpu: switch has_fpu() to riscv_has_extension_likely()"), as it is the patching in has_fpu() that triggers the splats in Guenter's report.

Take the text_mutex before doing any code patching to satisfy lockdep.

Fixes ff689fd21cb1 ("riscv: add RISC-V Svpbmt extension support")
Fixes a35707c3d850 ("riscv: add memory-type errata for T-Head")
Fixes 1a0e5dbd3723 ("riscv: sifive: Add SiFive alternative ports")

Unfortunately I still see boot failures when trying to boot riscv32 images, so something is still broken. I don't know yet if that is a generic problem or if it is related to a riscv patch. I am still trying to track that down ...

Heiko, would you be able to look at this please?
There's some more information in the Link: above.

Unfortunately I still see boot failures when trying to boot riscv32 images, so something is still broken. I don't know yet if that is a generic problem or if it is related to a riscv patch. I am still trying to track that down ...

Heiko, would you be able to look at this please?
There's some more information in the Link: above.

just for the record, I started looking into this now.

Starting with my own code [0] on top of 6.2-rc2 I was able to verify
- qemu-riscv32 without zbb
- qemu-riscv32 with zbb
- qemu-riscv64 without zbb
- qemu-riscv64 with zbb
to work.

So next up, I'll move over to the merged for-next branch to hopefully see what changed between the above and the for-next code.

Where did you get this version of qemu from ? Does it posssibly include zbb related fixes/changes on top of v7.2.0 ? I used v7.2.0. I also tried the master branch as of today, but there was no difference.

Also, what C compiler and binutils version did you use ?

My tests use rv32_defconfig as base for 32-bit tests, with various debug options enabled on top.

Ok, I gave it another try. The backtraces do _not_ appear if I just use defconfig as base. I'll try to find out what exactly triggers the problem.

Thanks,

Try this:

- Use next-20230216 as base.
- Apply
RISC-V: take text_mutex during alternative patching
RISC-V: Don't check text_mutex during stop_machine
on top of it.
- Configure defconfig + CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.
- Run something like

  qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -m 512M -no-reboot \
    -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image -initrd rootfs.cpio \
    -append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000,115200" \
    -nographic -monitor none

That should give you

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/trace_events.c:448 trace_event_raw_init+0xde/0x642

...
event neigh_update has unsafe dereference of argument 9 and lots of follow-up messages.

I tried with qemu v7.2.0 and qemu master (v7.2.0-1434-g6a50f64ca0).

This works fine if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not enabled.

Tested with gcc 11.3, binutils 2.39, qemu v7.2.0 and qemu built from mainline.

Just to +1 this, I get the same result (unable to mount root fs) with

qemu:     latest master (79b677d658d3)

Flipping the QEMU cpu zbb property off allows boot to succeed, i.e. it's not necessary to compile out the CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB code from the kernel, it's just necessary to avoid using it.

It looks like Drew isn't using an initrd (and with NFS, presumably you are)? That's probably a big difference as well.

This works fine if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not enabled.

Tested with gcc 11.3, binutils 2.39, qemu v7.2.0 and qemu built from mainline.

And I also checked that my kernel really lands in the Zbb-code by simply adding a "ret" [0] and making sure it breaks vs. runs without it

Next I'll try to move my rootfs into a real image-file and switch over to the commandline Drew calls, to see if it'll reproduce then.

So now I've also tested Palmer's for-next at
commit ec6311919ea6 ("Merge patch series "riscv: Optimize function trace"")

again with the same variants
- qemu-riscv32 without zbb
- qemu-riscv32 with zbb
- qemu-riscv64 without zbb
- qemu-riscv64 with zbb

And all of them booted fine into a nfs-root (debian for riscv64 and a buildroot for riscv32).

I even forced a bug into the zbb code to make sure the patching worked correctly (where the kernel failed as expected).

Qemu-version for me was 7.2.50 (v7.2.0-744-g5a3633929a-dirty)

Quoted 8 lines

I did try the one from Debian-stable (qemu-5.2) but that was too old and didn't support Zbb yet.

One thing of note, the "active" 32bit config I had, somehow didn't produce working images and I needed to start a new build using the rv32_defconfig.

So right now, I'm not sure what more to test though.

Another example:

- build defconfig
- run

  qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -m 512M -no-reboot -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
    -snapshot -device virtio-blk-device,drive=d0 -drive file=rootfs.ext2,if=none,id=d0,format=raw \

    -nographic -monitor none

With CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB=y, that results in

With the rootfs in an image I could reproduce the issue now.

I hacked in a very crude change to find the invocation that acts differently and voila it's a strncmp of the "/dev/vda" against "/dev/" [0].

It's really strange that all the other invocations produce correct results.

With the rootfs in an image I could reproduce the issue now.

I hacked in a very crude change to find the invocation that acts differently and voila it's a strncmp of the "/dev/vda" against "/dev/" [0].

It's really strange that all the other invocations produce correct results.

Not really; the failures are the only comparisons which are expected to return 0 and are not a complete string match.

I'd suspect that strncmp(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) will always return a bad result if s1 starts with s2 but is not identical to s2.

So now I've also tested Palmer's for-next at
commit ec6311919ea6 ("Merge patch series "riscv: Optimize function trace"")

again with the same variants
- qemu-riscv32 without zbb
- qemu-riscv32 with zbb
- qemu-riscv64 without zbb
- qemu-riscv64 with zbb

And all of them booted fine into a nfs-root (debian for riscv64 and a buildroot for riscv32).

I even forced a bug into the zbb code to make sure the patching worked correctly (where the kernel failed as expected).

Qemu-version for me was 7.2.50 (v7.2.0-744-g5a3633929a-dirty)

Quoted 8 lines

I did try the one from Debian-stable (qemu-5.2) but that was too old and didn't support Zbb yet.

One thing of note, the "active" 32bit config I had, somehow didn't produce working images and I needed to start a new build using the rv32_defconfig.

So right now, I'm not sure what more to test though.

Another example:

- build defconfig
- run

   qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -m 512M -no-reboot -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
     -snapshot -device virtio-blk-device,drive=d0 -drive file=rootfs.ext2,if=none,id=d0,format=raw \
     -append "root=/dev/vda console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000,115200" \
     -nographic -monitor none

With CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB=y, that results in

This works fine if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not enabled.

Tested with gcc 11.3, binutils 2.39, qemu v7.2.0 and qemu built from mainline.

Just to +1 this, I get the same result (unable to mount root fs) with

$QEMU -cpu rv64,zbb=on \
         -nographic \
         -machine virt \

qemu:     latest master (79b677d658d3)

Flipping the QEMU cpu zbb property off allows boot to succeed, i.e. it's not necessary to compile out the CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB code from the kernel, it's just necessary to avoid using it.

Looks like something in the strncmp implementation. Only commenting it out allows boot to succeed.

and interestingly it seems to be something very specific. I.e. my setup is nfsroot-based (qemu is "just" another board in my boardfarm) and booting into an nfs-root works quite nicely.

I guess I need to look into how to get an actual disk-image in there.

It looks like Drew isn't using an initrd (and with NFS, presumably you are)? That's probably a big difference as well.

There is no initrd involved in my qemu setup ;-) .
Just a kernel built from current for-next + defconfig and a nfs-server holding a full Debian-riscv64 system.

The magic qemu incantation is also pretty standard:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -smp 2 -m 1G -display none \
-cpu rv64,zbb=true,zbc=true,svpbmt=true,Zicbom=true,Zawrs=true,sscofpmf=true,v=true \

-netdev user,id=n1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n1 -name boardfarm-0,process=boardfarm-vm-0 -daemonize

Quoted 6 lines

And I also checked that my kernel really lands in the Zbb-code by simply adding a "ret" [0] and making sure it breaks vs. runs without it

Next I'll try to move my rootfs into a real image-file and switch over to the commandline Drew calls, to see if it'll reproduce then.

With the rootfs in an image I could reproduce the issue now.

I hacked in a very crude change to find the invocation that acts differently and voila it's a strncmp of the "/dev/vda" against "/dev/" [0].

It's really strange that all the other invocations produce correct results.

Not really; the failures are the only comparisons which are expected to return 0 and are not a complete string match.

I'd suspect that strncmp(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) will always return a bad result if s1 starts with s2 but is not identical to s2.

The issue seems to come into play when s2 is shorter than the stepsize for the bitops-accelerated part (reg-size being 8) here.

I.e.

	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/dev/", 5): 1
	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/dev", 4): 1
	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/de", 3): 1
	...
but
	strncmp("/dev/vda12", "/dev/vda", 8): 0
	strncmp("/dev/vda12", "/dev/vda1", 9): 0

For size-9 this succeeds because the first step is "/dev/vda" and the 0byte in "12" is detected and jumps to processing the rest individually.

Duplicating the 0-byte check for s2 [1] - i.e. jumping to the byte-wise path when a 0-byte is detected in the second string - solves the issue.

Not sure if there is a more performant solution for this, because we do have the length available. I'll think some more about that part.

This works fine if CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not enabled.

Tested with gcc 11.3, binutils 2.39, qemu v7.2.0 and qemu built from mainline.

Just to +1 this, I get the same result (unable to mount root fs) with

$QEMU -cpu rv64,zbb=on \
         -nographic \
         -machine virt \

Flipping the QEMU cpu zbb property off allows boot to succeed, i.e. it's not necessary to compile out the CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB code from the kernel, it's just necessary to avoid using it.

Looks like something in the strncmp implementation. Only commenting it out allows boot to succeed.

and interestingly it seems to be something very specific. I.e. my setup is nfsroot-based (qemu is "just" another board in my boardfarm) and booting into an nfs-root works quite nicely.

I guess I need to look into how to get an actual disk-image in there.

It looks like Drew isn't using an initrd (and with NFS, presumably you are)? That's probably a big difference as well.

There is no initrd involved in my qemu setup ;-) .
Just a kernel built from current for-next + defconfig and a nfs-server holding a full Debian-riscv64 system.

The magic qemu incantation is also pretty standard:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -smp 2 -m 1G -display none \
-cpu rv64,zbb=true,zbc=true,svpbmt=true,Zicbom=true,Zawrs=true,sscofpmf=true,v=true \

-netdev user,id=n1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n1 -name boardfarm-0,process=boardfarm-vm-0 -daemonize

Quoted 6 lines

And I also checked that my kernel really lands in the Zbb-code by simply adding a "ret" [0] and making sure it breaks vs. runs without it

Next I'll try to move my rootfs into a real image-file and switch over to the commandline Drew calls, to see if it'll reproduce then.

With the rootfs in an image I could reproduce the issue now.

I hacked in a very crude change to find the invocation that acts differently and voila it's a strncmp of the "/dev/vda" against "/dev/" [0].

It's really strange that all the other invocations produce correct results.

Not really; the failures are the only comparisons which are expected to return 0 and are not a complete string match.

I'd suspect that strncmp(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) will always return a bad result if s1 starts with s2 but is not identical to s2.

Quoted 6 lines

The issue seems to come into play when s2 is shorter than the stepsize for the bitops-accelerated part (reg-size being 8) here.

I.e.

	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/dev/", 5): 1

I'd tried pulling out your failures from the previous message into the selftests, turns out this one happens to fail for me. From looking at the code I'd figured it was this fetch-past-nul issue so I'd added some alignment skewing, but it looks like it happens to trigger for me without any.

I sent a patch to add the test here <https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]/>

Quoted 7 lines
	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/dev", 4): 1
	strncmp("/dev/vda", "/de", 3): 1
	...
but
	strncmp("/dev/vda12", "/dev/vda", 8): 0
	strncmp("/dev/vda12", "/dev/vda1", 9): 0
Quoted 8 lines

For size-9 this succeeds because the first step is "/dev/vda" and the 0byte in "12" is detected and jumps to processing the rest individually.

Duplicating the 0-byte check for s2 [1] - i.e. jumping to the byte-wise path when a 0-byte is detected in the second string - solves the issue.

Not sure if there is a more performant solution for this, because we do have the length available. I'll think some more about that part.

The only way I could come up with was to check the length and fall back to the byte routines. That may or may not be faster depending on loop counts and such, I doubt it matters until we get to proper uarch-optimized routines.

So now I've also tested Palmer's for-next at
commit ec6311919ea6 ("Merge patch series "riscv: Optimize function trace"")

again with the same variants
- qemu-riscv32 without zbb
- qemu-riscv32 with zbb
- qemu-riscv64 without zbb
- qemu-riscv64 with zbb

And all of them booted fine into a nfs-root (debian for riscv64 and a buildroot for riscv32).

I even forced a bug into the zbb code to make sure the patching worked correctly (where the kernel failed as expected).

Qemu-version for me was 7.2.50 (v7.2.0-744-g5a3633929a-dirty)

Quoted 8 lines

I did try the one from Debian-stable (qemu-5.2) but that was too old and didn't support Zbb yet.

One thing of note, the "active" 32bit config I had, somehow didn't produce working images and I needed to start a new build using the rv32_defconfig.

So right now, I'm not sure what more to test though.

Another example:

- build defconfig
- run

  qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -m 512M -no-reboot -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
    -snapshot -device virtio-blk-device,drive=d0 -drive file=rootfs.ext2,if=none,id=d0,format=raw \
    -append "root=/dev/vda console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000,115200" \
    -nographic -monitor none

With CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB=y, that results in

Thanks for finding this. I'm changing the subject line and adding Paul, as it came up during the patchwork call. I added zbb=on for rv32 and rv64 to my tests and they pass, but I'm not mounting a rootfs...
