+CC EDK2 list and Gerd.

Still not a thorough report but some breadcrumbs.

May be something about my local build setup as the shipped EDK2 succeeds,
but the one I'm building via
uefi-tools/edk2-build.sh armvirtqemu64
(some aged instructions here that are more or less working still)
https://people.kernel.org/jic23/

Indeed starts out with some alignment faults.

Gerd, any ideas?  Maybe I needs something subtly different in my
edk2 build?  I've not looked at this bit of the qemu infrastructure
before - is there a document on how that image is built?
As Richard observed, EDK2 isn't the simplest thing to build - I've
been using uefitools for this for a long time, so maybe I missed some
new requirement?

Build machine is x86_64 ubuntu, gcc 12.2.0.

I need to build it because of some necessary tweaks to debug a
PCI enumeration issue in Linux. (these tests were without those
tweaks)

As Richard observed, most of the command line isn't needed.

qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,virtualization=true, -m 4g -cpu cortex-a76 \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -d int

  Hi,

There is roms/Makefile for that.

make -C roms help
make -C roms efi

So easiest would be to just update the edk2 submodule to what you
need, then rebuild.

The build is handled by the roms/edk2-build.py script,
with the build configuration being in roms/edk2-build.config.
That is usable outside the qemu source tree too, i.e. like this:

  python3 /path/to/qemu.git/roms/edk2-build.py \
    --config /path/to/qemu.git/roms/edk2-build.config \
    --core /path/to/edk2.git \
    --match armvirt \
    --silent --no-logs

That'll try to place the images build in "../pc-bios", so maybe better
work with a copy of the config file where you adjust this.

HTH,
  Gerd

Thanks Gerd!

So the builds are very similar via the two method...
However - the QEMU build sets -D CAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456=TRUE

And that's the difference - with that set for my other builds the alignment
problems go away...

Any idea why we have that set in roms/edk2-build.config?
Superficially it seems rather unlikely anyone cares about thunderx1
(if they do we need to get them some new hardware with fresh bugs)
bugs now and this config file was only added last year.


However, the last comment in Ard's commit message below seems
highly likely to be relevant!

Chasing through Ard's patch it has the side effect of dropping
an override of a requirement for strict alignment. 
So with out the errata 
DEFINE GCC_AARCH64_CC_XIPFLAGS     = -mstrict-align -mgeneral-regs-only
is replaced with
 [BuildOptions]
+!if $(CAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456) == TRUE^M
+  GCC:*_*_AARCH64_PP_FLAGS = -DCAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456^M
+!else^M
   GCC:*_*_AARCH64_CC_XIPFLAGS ==
+!endif^M

The edk2 commit that added this was the following +CC Ard.

Given I wasn't sure of the syntax of that file I set it
manually to the original value and indeed it works.

    ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtQemu: Avoid early ID map on ThunderX

    The early ID map used by ArmVirtQemu uses ASID scoped non-global
    mappings, as this allows us to switch to the permanent ID map seamlessly
    without the need for explicit TLB maintenance.

    However, this triggers a known erratum on ThunderX, which does not
    tolerate non-global mappings that are executable at EL1, as this appears
    to result in I-cache corruption. (Linux disables the KPTI based Meltdown
    mitigation on ThunderX for the same reason)

    So work around this, by detecting the CPU implementor and part number,
    and proceeding without the early ID map if a ThunderX CPU is detected.

    Note that this requires the C code to be built with strict alignment
    again, as we may end up executing it with the MMU and caches off.

    Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>
    Tested-by: dann frazier <dann.frazier@canonical.com>

Test case is
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,virtualization=true, -m 4g -cpu cortex-a76 \
-bios QEMU_EFI.fd -d int

Which gets alignment faults since:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240301204110.656742-6-richard.henderson@linaro.org/

So my feeling here is EDK2 should either have yet another config for QEMU as a host
or should always set the alignment without needing to pick the CAVIUM 27456 errata
which I suspect will get dropped soonish anyway if anyone ever cleans up
old errata.

This code was never really intended for execution at EL2, but it
happened to work, partially because TCG's lack of strict alignment
checking when the MMU is off.

Those assumptions no longer hold, so yes, let's get this fixed properly.

Given VHE and nested virt (which will likely imply VHE in practice), I
would like to extend this functionality (i.e., the use of preliminary
page tables in NOR flash) to EL2 as well, but with VHE enabled. This
means we can still elide TLB maintenance (and BBM checks) by using
different ASIDs, and otherwise, fall back to entering with the MMU off
if VHE is not available. In that case, we should enforce strict
alignment too, so that needs to be fixed regardless.

I'll try to code something up and send it round. In the mean time,
feel free to propose a minimal patch that reinstates the strict
alignment if you are pressed for time, and I'll merge it right away.
