This patch adds PE/COFF header fields to the start of the Image
so that it appears as an EFI application to EFI firmware. An EFI
stub is included to allow direct booting of the kernel Image.
Support in the COFF header for signed images was provided by
Ard Biesheuvel.

In linux-next I'm pushing a patch which no longer exports the
__flush_dcache_all function. The reason is that it doesn't really work
if you have a (not fully transparent) external cache like on the Applied
Micro boards. There other issues when running as a guest as well.

If you know exactly what needs to be flushed here, can you use a range
(MVA) operation?

Nitpick: arch/arm64/... But we don't really need to write the file name
here, I use a smart editor that tells me which file I'm viewing ;).
Better write a one-line summary of what this file is about.

It looks like this is done by x86 as well.

But why do we need to create more stuff like this? Is it because on arm
we need this as part of the decompressor (which would be a good enough
argument)?

This is just before the EFI stub jumps to kernel proper. The only things
in the dcache would be from identity mapped references to RAM used by
UEFI. The booting.txt doc says dcache should be off and invalidated. I
am just wanting to comply with that. The code here doesn't really know
the extent of DRAM to flush by address.

Okay. Leftover cruft from copy of arm stub.

That is the reason exactly. I wish there were a better way.

Does UEFI do anything with the caches before invoking the EFI_STUB code?
I guess it doesn't since that's just another application for it. Can
UEFI flush the caches via exit boot? When is this called?

As I said, we have a real problem here since the EFI_STUB call does not
have information about the SoC to be able to flush all the caches. But
UEFI should know more about the hardware.

If UEFI doesn't handle the caches, the only thing left to EFI_STUB is to
flush by MVA. We don't need to flush the whole DRAM (and I would even
recommend it) but at least the relevant kernel code/data touched with
the MMU disabled.

So, it goes like this:

  1) UEFI calls stub with MMU/Caches on. Stub/kernel can be anywhere.
  2) Stub runs and relocates kernel to the desired runtime location
     but continues to execute from wherever UEFI loaded it until just
     after ExitBootServices().
  3) After ExitBootServices, efi_entry() returns relocated entry point
     for kernel to efi_stub_entry() in efi-entry.S where the Dcache and
     MMU are turned off, the __flush_dcache_all is called, then the
     code jumps to the kernel proper entry point.

It isn't clear to me if UEFI does cache flushing at ExitBootServices
time, but even so, at least stack use will get cached between then and
the kernel entry point. The stub could conceivably get its hands on the
EFI memmap and invalidate dcache using address ranges from UEFI memory
descriptors so maybe that is the way we should do it.

I looked at the UEFI spec and there is no mention of cache flushing in
ExitBootServices(),
so it seems it is up to the OS to do any cache management.

Something to think about: On mvebu we recently confirmed a situation
where turning off the L1 cache is not sufficient for booting. The L2
cache must also be completely off and disabled prior to jumping in to
the kernel.

The issue is the decompressor turns the L1 cache back on, and if the
L2 is also enabled at this point then it gets filled with
decompression data. Things go wrong from here because after
decompression the L1 dcache is switched off, but the L2 isn't
flush-invalidated.

So now the L2 holds writeback data and uncached reads return garbage,
and/or the L2 misses the uncached writes (eg relocation fixup) and
becomes inconsistent with memory. Either case gives a black screen
crash at boot.

Fundementally if the L2 doesn't monitor uncached read/writes then it
will cause a big problem.

Thus, if the UEFI calls the sub with the caches on, and the stub
doesn't know enough to turn off the L2 then you might not be able to
turn the dcache off at all. :(

On ARM64 at least the L1 cache ops are standardized so maybe ARM64
could keep the mmu+caches enabled during boot and do the L1
d-flush/i-inval required for instruction coherency?

Yes, that's a problem on (ARMv7) SoCs booting in non-secure mode with
external L2 already enabled. For ARMv8 at least, the SoCs I've seen with
external caches detect the data cache by MVA ops.

We thought about keeping the MMU on from EFI_STUB into the kernel but it
gets messier since UEFI has different MMU settings. So with some sane
external cache, we could get away with flushing a range.

I think the stub just needs to flush the relocated kernel image, ensure
it is sync with the memory. Additional flushing can be done by the
kernel for bits it writes (like page tables, code patching etc). We can
enter the kernel with the SCTLR.I bit set, so it can allocate in an
unified cache already and D-cache maintenance would be needed anyway.

Another aspect in the booting document is that we require any external
cache to be disabled. I think on ARMv8 with a more transparent external
cache we can relax this (Applied's SoC already does this). Otherwise,
since external cache enabling is usually a secure operation, we would
need some SoC specific code just for this early during boot and I'd like
to avoid it.
