[v5,0/7] RISCV basic exception handling implementation

Message

Oleksii Kurochko March 16, 2023, 2:39 p.m. UTC

The patch series is based on:
* [introduce generic implementation of macros from bug.h][1]
* [Do basic initialization things][2]
* [Deal with GOT stuff for RISC-V][3]
which haven't been commited yet.

The patch series provides a basic implementation of exception handling.
It can do only basic things such as decode a cause of an exception,
save/restore registers and execute "wfi" instruction if an exception
can not be handled.

To verify that exception handling works well it was implemented macros
from <asm/bug.h> such as BUG/WARN/run_in_exception/assert_failed.
The implementation of macros is used "ebreak" instruction and set up bug
frame tables for each type of macros.
Also it was implemented register save/restore to return and continue work
after WARN/run_in_exception.
Not all functionality of the macros was implemented as some of them
require hard-panic the system which is not available now. Instead of
hard-panic 'wfi' instruction is used but it should be definitely changed
in the neareset future.
It wasn't implemented show_execution_state() and stack trace discovering
as it's not necessary now.

Changes in V5:
 - Rebase on top of [1] and [2]
 - Add new patch which introduces stub for <asm/bug.h> to keep Xen compilable
   as in the patch [xen/riscv: introduce decode_cause() stuff] is used
   header <xen/lib.h> which requires <asm/bug.h>.
 - Remove <xen/error.h> from riscv/traps/c as nothing would require
   inclusion.
 - decode_reserved_interrupt_cause(), decode_interrupt_cause(),
   decode_cause, do_unexpected_trap() were made as static they are expected
   to be used only in traps.c
 - Remove "#include <xen/types.h>" from <asm/bug.h> as there is no any need in it anymore
 - Update macros GET_INSN_LENGTH: remove UL and 'unsigned int len;' from it
 - Remove " include <xen/bug.h>" from risc/setup.c. it is not needed in the current version of
   the patch
 - change an argument type from vaddr_t to uint32_t for is_valid_bugaddr and introduce 
   read_instr() to read instruction properly as the length of qinstruction can be
   either 32 or 16 bits.
 - Code style fixes
 - update the comments before do_bug_frame() in riscv/trap.c
 - [[PATCH v4 5/5] automation: modify RISC-V smoke test ] was dropped as it was provided
   more simple solution by Andrew.  CI: Simplify RISCV smoke testing
 - Refactor is_valid_bugaddr() function.
 - 2 new patches ([PATCH v5 {1-2}/7]) were introduced, the goal of which is to recalculate
   addresses used in traps.c, which can be linker time relative. It is needed as we don't
   have enabled MMU yet.

Changes in V4:
  - Rebase the patch series on top of new version of [introduce generic
    implementation of macros from bug.h] patch series.
  - Update the cover letter message as 'Early printk' was merged and
    the current one patch series is based only on [introduce generic
    implementation of macros from bug.h] which hasn't been commited yet.
  - The following patches of the patch series were merged to staging:
      [PATCH v3 01/14] xen/riscv: change ISA to r64G
      [PATCH v3 02/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/asm.h> header
      [PATCH v3 03/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/riscv_encoding.h header
      [PATCH v3 04/14] xen/riscv: add <asm/csr.h> header
      [PATCH v3 05/14] xen/riscv: introduce empty <asm/string.h>
      [PATCH v3 06/14] xen/riscv: introduce empty <asm/cache.h>
      [PATCH v3 07/14] xen/riscv: introduce exception context
      [PATCH v3 08/14] xen/riscv: introduce exception handlers implementation
      [PATCH v3 10/14] xen/riscv: mask all interrupts
  - Fix addressed comments in xen-devel mailing list.

---
Changes in V3:
  - Change the name of config RISCV_ISA_RV64IMA to RISCV_ISA_RV64G
    as instructions from Zicsr and Zifencei extensions aren't part of
    I extension any more.
  - Rebase the patch "xen/riscv: introduce an implementation of macros
    from <asm/bug.h>" on top of patch series [introduce generic implementation
    of macros from bug.h]
  - Update commit messages
---
Changes in V2:
  - take the latest riscv_encoding.h from OpenSBI, update it with Xen
    related changes, and update the commit message with "Origin:"
    tag and the commit message itself.
  - add "Origin:" tag to the commit messag of the patch
    [xen/riscv: add <asm/csr.h> header].
  - Remove the patch [xen/riscv: add early_printk_hnum() function] as the
    functionality provided by the patch isn't used now.
  - Refactor prcoess.h: move structure offset defines to asm-offsets.c,
    change register_t to unsigned long.
  - Refactor entry.S to use offsets defined in asm-offsets.C
  - Rename {__,}handle_exception to handle_trap() and do_trap() to be more
    consistent with RISC-V spec.
  - Merge the pathc which introduces do_unexpected_trap() with the patch
    [xen/riscv: introduce exception handlers implementation].
  - Rename setup_trap_handler() to trap_init() and update correspondingly
    the patches in the patch series.
  - Refactor bug.h, remove bug_instr_t type from it.
  - Refactor decode_trap_cause() function to be more optimization-friendly.
  - Add two new empty headers: <cache.h> and <string.h> as they are needed to
    include <xen/lib.h> which provides ARRAY_SIZE and other macros.
  - Code style fixes.
