[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 0/2] MdePkg:Implement RISCV CMO

[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 0/2] MdePkg:Implement RISCV CMO

[Dhaval Sharma]

Implementing code to support Cache Management Operations (CMO) defined by RV spec https://github.com/riscv/riscv-CMOs

Notes:
CMO only supports block based Operations. Meaning complete cache flush/invd/clean Operations are not available. In that case we fallback on fence.i instructions.
Rely on the fact that platform init has initialized CMO and this implementation just checks if it is enabled.
In order to avoid compiler dependency injecting byte code. Code branch https://github.com/rivosinc/edk2/tree/dev_rv_cmo_v5

Test:
Ensured correct instructions are refelecting in asm
Able to boot platform with RiscVVirtQemu config
Not able to verify actual instruction in HW as Qemu ignores any actual cache operations.

[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 1/2] MdePkg:Implement RISCV CMO

[Dhaval Sharma]

Implementing code to support Cache Management Operations
(CMO) defined by RV spec https://github.com/riscv/riscv-CMOs

Notes:
1. CMO only supports block based Operations. Meaning complete
   cache flush/invd/clean Operations are not available. In that case
   we fallback on fence.i instructions.
2. Rely on the fact that platform init has initialized CMO and this
   implementation just checks if it is enabled.
3. In order to avoid compiler dependency injecting byte code.

Test:
1. Ensured correct instructions are refelecting in asm
2. Able to boot platform with RiscVVirtQemu config
3. Not able to verify actual instruction in HW as Qemu ignores
any actual cache operations.

Notes:
    v5:
    - Addressed comments from v4
    - Use #defines instead of numbers in cache instruction encoding
    - Addressed function naming issues from previous patch
    - Added new PCD to override RV CPU features
    - Removed code that relied on ENVCFG registers
    - Fixing typos in comments

This is the first version of the series that I see, so I apologize in
advance if I touch on ground that's already been covered.

(1) Sorry, but this patch is a mess. It needs to be split into four
separate patches, in v6.

(1a) v6 patch#1:

I find that there is a preexistent problem, namely from the following,
earlier commits:

- 7601b251fd5c ("MdePkg/BaseLib: BaseLib for RISCV64 architecture",
2020-05-07)

- 38e72aa87725 ("MdePkg/BaseCacheMaintenanceLib: RISC-V cache
maintenance implementation.", 2020-05-07)

These commits were incorrectly structured. They added the assembly
language function definitions RiscVInvalidateInstCacheAsm() and
RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsm() to BaseLib (which is fine). However, the
*declarations* for those functions didn't go into <BaseLib.h>, but were
buried in the library *instance* source file
"MdePkg/Library/BaseCacheMaintenanceLib/RiscVCache.c".

Both of those functions should have been declared in <BaseLib.h>, inside
an

  #if defined (MDE_CPU_RISCV64)
  #endif

block.

Note that <BaseLib.h> is permitted (and supposed) to contain
processor-specific *function declarations*. It already contains a bunch
of such function declarations; one example is PatchInstructionX86().

Therefore, please correct this earlier mistake in v6 patch #1 -- move
the declarations of RiscVInvalidateInstCacheAsm() and
RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsm() from
"MdePkg/Library/BaseCacheMaintenanceLib/RiscVCache.c" to <BaseLib.h>,
into a MDE_CPU_RISCV64-dependent block.

(1b) v6 patch#2:

Renaming RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsm() to
RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsmFence(), and renaming
RiscVInvalidateInstCacheAsm() to RiscVInvalidateInstCacheAsmFence(),
should be isolated to v6 patch#2.

Said patch should contian *nothing else* but the rename -- plus any
comment additions that relate to the new (more exact) function names.
The tree must compile both before and after the patch.

(1c) v6 patch#3:

Adding the new cache maintenance operations to BaseLib, including the
new assembly instruction encodings.

This patch should contain the *file rename* as well (FlushCache.S ->
RiscVCacheMgmt.S), because the new operations are what generalize the
file from just flushing to management.

(1d) v6 patch#4:

Updating BaseCacheMaintenanceLib (utilizing the new BaseLib primitives).

(2) This belongs to v6 patch#4, because only BaseCacheMaintenanceLib
needs the PCD.

(3) "CMO" should be expanded as "cache management operations".

(4) The whole PCD is insufficiently documented. This comment should
include the documentation from the commit message of *v5* patch#2 (i.e.,
that any bit that is clear in this bitmask is supposed to clear the
feature configuration inherited from earlier components such as OpenSBI,
but any bit set will not re-enable, only preserve, previously enabled
features.)

(5) Accordingly, the default value of the PCD should be
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (all bits one -- "inherit everything"), arguably.

(6) The "MdePkg/MdePkg.uni" file should be kept in sync with
"MdePkg/MdePkg.dec"; any PCD should be documented in both.

(11) I agree that we should use symbolic names rather than magic
constants, but raw encodings of machine instructions don't belong into a
C header file.

Instead, please refer to the <MdePkg/Include/X64/Nasm.inc> file as an
example; see the PVALIDATE and RMPADJUST instruction encodings. We
should follow the same pattern with these RISC-V instructions too, if
possible, even if we don't use NASM for building RISC-V assembly code.
(So just call the *.inc file something else.)

(12) Also, filing a feature request (about these instructions) for the
GNU Assembler, and pasting the URLs into the new assembly include file
(following the PVALIDATE example above) would be welcome.

(13) As stated above, these two interfaces don't belong here. In v6

They should be introduced in v6 patch#3 to BaseLib. (And the

(16) The name of the function suggests the return type should be
BOOLEAN.

(17) Consequently, the comparison against zero should be performed here,
not at the call sites.

(18) IIUC, this function should be STATIC. It's not a public library
interface.

(21) Logging this error for every cache line of the requested range does
not seem useful. I suggest checking Op before the loop.

what is being requested here.

(25) The *API* renames belong to v6 patch#2.

(26) The new APIs, plus the *file* rename, belong to v6 patch#3.

(27) Please use the assembler macros from point (11) -- the macros also
belong to v6 patch#3.

Thanks
Laszlo

(28) Please do not abbreviate RISC-V as "RV". It's incredibly confusing.

(29) Inconsistent spelling in the patch subject: "RISCV CMO". Should be

Edk2 only supports RISCV64, so "64" in the prefix is meaningless. Both
prefixes should be RISCV_.

[edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] OvmfPkg/RiscVVirt: Override for RV CPU Features

[Dhaval Sharma]

This PCD provides a way for platform to override any
HW features that are default enabled by previous stages
of FW (like OpenSBI). For the case where previous/prev
stage has disabled the feature, this override is not
useful and its usage should be avoided.

(1) This patch should be v6 patch#5.

(2) The commit message belongs *as documentation* into v6 patch#4 -- the
BaseCacheMaintenanceLib update.

(3) The commit message on *this* patch (i.e., v6 patch#5) should explain
*why* we want to disable the cache management operations on RiscVVirt.

Thanks
Laszlo

(4) You forgot to prepend "Cc:".

(5) The cover letter (0/2 email here) should contain all the Cc: tags
from the patches' commit messages, so that whoever gets at least one
patch CC'd from the series also get the cover letter for the series.

Thanks

Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] OvmfPkg/RiscVVirt: Override for RV CPU Features

[Dhaval Sharma]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6006 bytes --]

Hi Laszlo,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I have modified my next patchset addressing
most of the comments. Summary below. But *before I submit the final
version* I wanted to seek clarification on a few things mentioned below
with [Dhaval]. Current PR I am planning to submit:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/4928

I am summarizing all comments for better readability:
(1) Split into four separate patches, in v6.                       *Done*.-
with some comments below
    1a. Fix previous error from earlier patch that had declaration outside
baselib.h
    1b. Renaming RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsm() to
RiscVInvalidateDataCacheAsmFence() etc.
    1c. Adding the new cache maintenance operations to BaseLib, including
the
          new assembly instruction encodings.
    1d. Updating BaseCacheMaintenanceLib (utilizing the new BaseLib
primitives).
    1e. I have added another one for RiscvVirt platform kind of an override
as 5th patch.
(2)  This belongs to v6 patch#4, because only BaseCacheMaintenanceLib needs
the PCD.        *Done*
(3)  "CMO" should be expanded as "cache management operations".       *Done*
(4)  The whole PCD is insufficiently documented.      *Done*
(5)  Accordingly, the default value of the PCD should be
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.  *Done*
(6)  The "MdePkg/MdePkg.uni" file should be kept in sync with dec.
*Done*.  [Dhaval] Is this used beyond setup options? For some PCDs I do not
find an entry in uni.
(7)  Belongs to v6 patch#4. *Done*
(8)  Please consider appending the "## CONSUMES" hint. *Done*
(9)  Belongs to v6 patch#3. *Done*
(10) Belongs to v6 patch#3. *Done*
(11) I agree that we should use symbolic names rather than magic constants,
but raw encodings of machine instructions don't belong into a
     C header file. [Dhaval] This bytecode was introduced thinking what if
all compilers do not support it. but given the default compiler in edk2 GCC
12 supports it
     we can eliminate this byte encoding completely to make it easy and
simple to consume for others.
(12) Also, filing a feature request (about these instructions). As per (11)
it is already available.
(13) As stated above, these two interfaces don't belong here. *Done*
(14) As stated above, these function declarations don't belong here. *Done*
(15) I believe this un-indented comment will not pass ECC Check /
     uncrustify. [Dhaval] I attach my stuart_build logs. I do not see
specific errors.https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/4928 Pull request
all passed. Am I missing something?
(16-17-18) The name of the function suggests the return type should be
BOOLEAN. *Done*
(19) Should be STATIC, and should *not* be EFIAPI. (Not a public
interface.) *Done*
(20) This will definitely not pass uncrustify. If you are talking about bad
indent seen on Ops and Length- it is fixed. *Done*
(21) Logging this error for every cache line of the requested range does
not seem useful. I suggest checking Op before the loop. *Done*
(22) As stated above, the API renames -- together with the updated leading
comments -- belong in v6 patch#2. *Done*
(23) As stated above, the API renames -- together with the updated leading
comments -- belong in v6 patch#2. *Done*
(24) The DEBUG message seems bogus; invalidating the whole I-Cache *is*
what is being requested here. *Done*
(25-26) The *API* renames belong to v6 patch#2. & The new APIs, plus the
*file* rename, belong to v6 patch#3. *Done*
(27) Please use the assembler macros from point (11). Please see (11)
(28-29-30-31) Please do not abbreviate RISC-V as "RV". It's incredibly
confusing.  Inconsistent spelling in the patch subject: "RISCV CMO". ditto;
should be RISC-V.ditto, should be PcdRiscVFeatureOverride *Done*
(32-33) Total inconsistency, RV64_ versus RV_.  Should be RiscVIsCMOEnabled
(upper case V). *Done*

This is best cleared with the MdePkg maintainers. Some packages don't
include *.uni files at all, but in those that do, my memories are that
we always keep the PCDs in sync between *.dec and *.uni. If I remember
correctly, the *.uni files are also used by the UEFI Packaging Tool
(UPT). I recommend modifying the UNI as well.

To be honest, I can't determine the minimum expected gcc version for
edk2. "BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template" states a minimum version for
NASM, for example, but I can't find a similar gcc requirement there.

gcc-12 does work for me personally, because my riscv cross-compiler is
"riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 12.1.1 20220507 (Red Hat Cross 12.1.1-1)".

If the CI environment that builds these patches also provides gcc-12+,
then I figure you should be set.

Probably not.

We usually indent the function-top comment bodies by two spaces, but if
neither uncrustify nor ECC complain, then I won't insist.

Wait, for the assembly language source files, what matters is the
binutils version, not the gcc version. Mine is "GNU assembler version
2.38-3.el9" (from "binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu-2.38-3.el9.x86_64").

Is that sufficient for the instuctions in question?

(More generally -- what version does our CI env expect / provide?)

Thanks
Laszlo

It was introduced in 2.39 it seems. GCC 12 onwards contains this binutils
version as per my understanding. This version was released quite long back.
I can double check by submitting it through edk2 CI to ensure it works.
Current CI version is already GCC 12.

Hm, then the macros should still be added please; RHEL9/EPEL9 only offer
binutils 2.38.

No, gcc doesn't "contain" binutils. They are separate packages, and
their versions are not tightly locked together.

It's the binutils version that matters for this.

(And even if CI has gcc-12, I'd still ask for the macros, because RHEL9
/ EPEL9 don't seem to have a new enough binutils.)

Thanks
