LoongArch: Fix entry point in kernel image header

2024-06-03T07:45:53Z

Currently kernel entry in head.S is in DMW address range, firmware is instructed to jump to this address after loading the kernel image. However kernel should not make any assumption on firmware's DMW setting, thus the entry point should be a physical address falls into direct translation region. Fix by converting entry address to physical and amend entry calculation logic in libstub accordingly. BTW, use ABSOLUTE() to calculate variables to make Clang/LLVM happy.

LoongArch: Add ORC stack unwinder support

2024-03-11T14:23:47Z

The kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option enables the ORC unwinder, which is similar in concept to a DWARF unwinder. The difference is that the format of the ORC data is much simpler than DWARF, which in turn allows the ORC unwinder to be much simpler and faster. The ORC data consists of unwind tables which are generated by objtool. After analyzing all the code paths of a .o file, it determines information about the stack state at each instruction address in the file and outputs that information to the .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections. The per-object ORC sections are combined at link time and are sorted and post-processed at boot time. The unwinder uses the resulting data to correlate instruction addresses with their stack states at run time. Most of the logic are similar with x86, in order to get ra info before ra is saved into stack, add ra_reg and ra_offset into orc_entry. At the same time, modify some arch-specific code to silence the objtool warnings.

efi/loongarch: Directly position the loaded image file

2023-12-19T10:16:37Z

The use of the 'kernel_offset' variable to position the image file that has been loaded by UEFI or GRUB is unnecessary, because we can directly position the loaded image file through using the image_base field of the efi_loaded_image struct provided by UEFI. Replace kernel_offset with image_base to position the image file that has been loaded by UEFI or GRUB. Signed-off-by: Wang Yao Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

LoongArch: Fix lockdep static memory detection

2023-09-20T06:26:28Z

Since commit 0a6b58c5cd0d ("lockdep: fix static memory detection even more") the lockdep code uses is_kernel_core_data(), is_kernel_rodata() and init_section_contains() to verify if a lock is located inside a kernel static data section. This change triggers a failure on LoongArch, for which the vmlinux.lds.S script misses to put the locks (as part of in the .data.rel symbols) into the Linux data section. This patch fixes the lockdep problem by moving *(.data.rel*) symbols into the kernel data section (from _sdata to _edata). Additionally, move other wrongly assigned symbols too: - altinstructions into the _initdata section, - PLT symbols behind the read-only section, and - *(.la_abs) into the data section.

LoongArch: Calculate various sizes in the linker script

2023-06-29T12:58:42Z

Taking the address delta between symbols in different sections is not supported by the LLVM IAS. Instead, do this in the linker script, so the same data can be properly referenced in assembly.

LoongArch: Add support for kernel relocation

2023-02-25T14:12:16Z

This config allows to compile kernel as PIE and to relocate it at any virtual address at runtime: this paves the way to KASLR. Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded into the kernel.

LoongArch: Add alternative runtime patching mechanism

2022-12-14T00:36:11Z

Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 for LoongArch to apply runtime patching. The main purpose of this patch is to provide a framework. In future we can use this mechanism (i.e., the ALTERNATIVE and ALTERNATIVE_2 macros) to optimize hotspot functions according to cpu features. Signed-off-by: Jun Yi Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen

LoongArch: extable: Add `type` and `data` fields

2022-12-14T00:36:11Z

This is a LoongArch port of commit d6e2cc564775 ("arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields"). Subsequent patches will add specialized handlers for fixups, in addition to the simple PC fixup we have today. In preparation, this patch adds a new `type` field to struct exception_table_entry, and uses this to distinguish the fixup and other cases. A `data` field is also added so that subsequent patches can associate data specific to each exception site (e.g. register numbers). Handlers are named ex_handler_*() for consistency, following the example of x86. At the same time, get_ex_fixup() is split out into a helper so that it can be used by other ex_handler_*() functions in the subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Youling Tang Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen
