Aleix provided some notes on how to trace the kernel using tracepoints that are
printed to the console:
```
BOOT TIME TRACING
- compile with CONFIG_BOOTTIME_TRACING=y
- add to kernel parameters:
trace_options=sym-addr trace_event=initcall:* tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M ftrace=function ftrace_filter="vfs*"
trace_options=sym-addr trace_event=sched:* tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M
- tp_printk sends tracepoint (TRACE_EVENT) to printk buffer
- trace_event=[subsytem:event]; accepts
- *:< event_name >
- < subsystem > :*
- *:* all
- many more options at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/trace/boottime-trace.html
```
Start with:
```
trace_options=sym-addr trace_event=sched:* tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M loglevel=7
```
Can it be caused by the D extension? If I set the ISA to:
```
riscv,isa = "rv64imaf";
```
It locks the stage1 script without providing any output. Let see trying again.
Locked again.
I can disable the FPU in the kernel, and then it will act as a detector of any
floating point instruction.
Then I just need to rebuild busybox without support for double instructions.
Let see if I can build busybox with double instruction
Nope, the u-boot is reporting the d extension is in the isa:
> riscv,isa = "rv64imafd";

It looks like the following options may be required to be disabled to allow

### QUESTION: Can I write to some memory address and see the result from the host?<!--{{{-->
2024-07-05 16:53:07 +02:00
For that I would need to find some address that is mapped to the DMA or to the
pmem. Xavi recommended `0x6000_0000` as it is uncached.
It seems to have some content already:
~ # devmem 0x60000000
0x00000093
~ # devmem 0x60000004
0x00000113
~ # devmem 0x60000008

~ # devmem 0x60000010
0x00000293
~ # devmem 0x60000014
0x00000313
~ # devmem 0x60000018
0x00000393
Writing test seems to work:
~ # devmem 0x60000000 32 0x11223344
~ # devmem 0x60000000
0x11223344
So, technically we should be using the `/dev/qdma34000-MM-0` device, as we
already use the other one to map the memory.

None of the two queues seem to have the value 0x11223344 at any multiple of `0x1000_0000` .
Let's verify first that this method works. The kernel is loaded here:
[bsc015557@fpgan02 nixos]$ printf '0x%x\n' $FPGACTL_KERNEL_ADDR
0x24000000
So we should see the same values as the kernel file:

For that I would have to ensure the process continues to operate, even if we
exit the console. Maybe I can make a double fork?
I cannot use `0x1000_0000` as that is where the pmem will be. But I can try to
use an address in the end, as we are not filling the whole space.
[0x1_0000_0000, 0x1_c000_0000) -> PMEM (3072 MiB)
Maybe `0x1_bfff_0000` ? Let's try first from the initrd shell.
i=0; while [ 1 ]; do let i=$i+1; devmem 0x1bfff0000 32 $i; done &
Then
while [ 1 ]; do xxd -s $((0x1bfff0000 - 0x60000000)) -l 4 /dev/qdma34000-MM-1; sleep 0.2; done
Yes, it seems to be working. Let's load the rootfs too.

propagate the heartbeat changes to the host. It would be nice to monitor a

### ASSUMPTION: The kernel hangs.<!--{{{-->
2024-07-05 16:53:07 +02:00
If the kernel hangs, there must be an instruction or sequence of instructions
that causes it. First I need to determine what is being executed by the kernel.
For that I could use `ftrace` to see which program is running at the time it
hangs.
trace_options=sym-addr trace_event=initcall:* tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M
(prev_comm != 2 & & next_comm != 2)
So, we can just enable the `tp_printk` but not the tracer. Then in the initrd
2024-07-05 17:05:28 +02:00
script, I enable the function tracer and the filter.

Not sure if it is a good reproducer, as it is taking around 15 minutes to hang
in a very large piece of software, while when we have the out-of-order enabled,
we can hang in half of the time in some script.
Either way, we need to see a backtrace of where it is hanging to understand why
it does. We may also enable a stage-2 heartbeat to be sure that it is hanging
the kernel and not only the console.
Another idea is to arrive at a proper bash shell, where we can have debugging
tools, which may allow us to go slowly until we catch the bug.
### OBSERVATION: Setting memory in-order only causes a hang
Tested with:
$ csrtool mem-in-order
And it hangs just after exiting the tool.
### QUESTION: Can we see the printk buffer from the host?
If the problem that we are observing is somehow related to the recursive
segfault of the kernel in Cincoranch, we may be able to see the printk ring
buffer by directly poking at the memory from the host.
2024-07-09 15:15:35 +02:00
### QUESTION: Can we crash the CPU by exercising the memory?
I did a small tool `memtool` that performs allocations and
deallocations.
2024-07-09 15:38:52 +02:00
Good news, the tool has hang the console (potentially the kernel too).

Maybe there is a problem in the memory segment? Can we reduce it to 1 GiB only
and see if it has any effect?

It seems to be getting stuck in the filling phase. Can we trace it down with
ftrace? It should be generating page faults.
### 2024-07-10
So, if we manage to crash in the filling phase, we can further pinpoint the
issue and remove any effect of `malloc()` . It would be only related to a page
fault and the MMU at this point.
Let's make a much simpler program that only allocates once a buffer of N bytes
and then begins filling it, printing the progress in the output.

In today's meeting, Jonnatan suggests test the memtool program with all-in-order
configuration. I should also try to reproduce this hang with a "production"
bitstream (from master).
2024-07-10 13:02:43 +02:00
Also, Xavi reports that the memtool chain test continued to run until the memory
was exhausted using an old bistream.
2024-07-10 12:21:24 +02:00
Let's do the quick CSR test first, and then we go back to the ftrace testing,
which will take more time.
Here are the commands I was testing, but nothing comes out of the console, even
after booting with the `tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M` boot options:
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/debug/
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/

Interesting [article ](https://wiki.osdev.org/RISC-V_Bare_Bones ) on how to write
a simple bootrom that outputs some ASCII text into the console.
2024-07-10 13:02:43 +02:00
Regarding the `do_page_fault` filter, it seems that is no available. I need to
pick one from `available_filter_functions` instead. Let's try `handle_page_fault` .
2024-07-10 14:19:49 +02:00
It still doesn't seem to appear in the console. It is visible with a SysRq
request Ctrl+O then 'z'.
Maybe I can try disabling the huge pages, just to discard that it may be
related to it: `CONFIG_HUGETLBFS` .
2024-07-10 17:32:58 +02:00
Same hang with huge pages disabled, but a bit further ~70 MB.

This is not suggesting that the problem is not in the virtual memory, but with
the actual physical memory.
I will try a similar test with uboot with the `mtest` command, but requires
enabling it first.

### OBSERVATION: U-Boot mtest hangs in the last 256 MiB
After reducing the size of the RAM segment, I run again the mtest, but this time
it fails in the last 256 MiB block.
I assume that U-Boot moves itself to the last part of the memory, and them mtest
overwrites the U-Boot code, causing a hang.
So, I simply changed the FDT from U-Boot to skip the first 2M:
fdt set /memory@80000000 reg < 0x0 0x80200000 0x0 0x40000000 >
And then I enabled the memtest in the kernel boot parameters:
=> fdt set /memory@80000000 reg < 0x0 0x80200000 0x0 0x30000000 >
=> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ram0 loglevel=7 debug rw earlycon=sbi console=hvc0 boot.trace boot.tracedebug init=/nix/store/zxbq93zfg8ijkyq5cq5sb4742rczqfck-nixos-system-nixos-riscv-24.11pre-git/init"

So, if we observe a hang when writing to a bad memory segment, can there be a
problem in the place we are placing the pmem? Maybe we can test it with u-boot
first.
Another note, the serial device 16550 doesn't seem to use a FIFO, but the
16550A does.
We may want to switch to the A variant, as it seems to be supported by U-boot and
the kernel:
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/drivers/serial/ns16550.c#L607-L619
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.9/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_of.c#L285
And defines a FIFO size of 16 bytes:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.9/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c#L74-L81
Still, we would have to wait for a bitstream that can forward the interrupts
from the host to the serial console to test it.
### OBSERVATION: The memory for the pmem seems to be ok

2024-07-11 16:00:43 +02:00
### OBSERVATION: There are extra regions mapped by OpenSBI
In the OpenSBI 1.2 test from buildroot:

2024-07-12 09:34:04 +02:00
## 2024-07-12
I find it strange that if we are writing to the 0x80000000 region from the
kernel and OpenSBI has mapped a segment for Machine mode only, there is no error
message about it in the console.
Let's update to OpenSBI 1.5 for now, and see if we get any more information.
2024-07-12 10:20:32 +02:00
It seems to be booting fine.
So, I observed the `udevadm settle` to take a lot of time, maybe I can get some
clues by enabling the debug mode.
If a trap is being issued, we may be able to modify OpenSBI to print some
information to the serial console so we can understand what is going on.

In the meanwhile, let's try a simple test. We can enable debug output of systemd
with the following boot options:
systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=console
We will also need to run `csrtool all-in-order` to arrive to systemd.
2024-07-12 12:13:06 +02:00
### OBSERVATION: Hangs in `switch_root` again.
Technically, we cannot discard the hypothesis than only the console has crashed,
as when we switch to the stage 2 we don't have the heartbeat counter. We may as
well run it again before we arrive to systemd just to verify that userland
crashed.
On the other hand, I don't understand why we hang in such a way when we try to
write to the `0x8000_0000` area from the kernel memtest. I've been reading the
OpenSBI source code and they seem to have a trap handler that can emit verbose
information to the console when a problem with the trap is detected. I would
expect to see some error being dumped to the console in that case.
From the OpenSBI information, this line:
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008001ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Suggests that it registers a region with no write permission at `0x8000_0000` ,
so it should fail right away from the kernel side. However, this is not reported
anywhere in the console.
As we have an easy way to trigger this situation, maybe we can use it as a test
to modify OpenSBI to report that problem to the console and verify that it is
working. With that information, we could rule out that a similar problem is
happening when we try to run systemd. Maybe we could also try to debug other
traps.
Another observation is that the memtest lines we see on the console are printed
*before* the actual test begins:
pr_info(" %pa - %pa pattern %016llx\n",
& this_start, & this_end, cpu_to_be64(pattern));
memtest(pattern, this_start, this_end - this_start);
So when this line is shown:
[ 0.000000] early_memtest: # of tests: 3
[ 0.000000] 0x0000000080000000 - 0x0000000080013000 pattern 5555555555555555
We an infer that the problem is located in that region, which agrees with the
hypothesis that is related with the OpenSBI regions.
This is the output I get with OpenSBI 1.5:

Where now the regions are slightly off:
Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000040000fff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008004ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff M: () S/U: (R,W,X)
I would assume that the region 1 is where OpenSBI places its own data, and
region 2 is where it places its own code. Then, in region 0 there is the serial
area.
Interestingly, I can read and write to the 0x80000000 - 0x81000000 from u-boot
without problems:
=> mtest 0x80000000 0x81000000 0 4
Testing 80000000 ... 81000000:
Pattern FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Writing... Reading...Iteration: 4
Tested 4 iteration(s) with 0 errors.
So I suspect that it disables those regions before jumping into U-Boot.
What I don't understand is why the MMIO region 0 is starting at 0x40000000 while
the UART port should be mapped in 0x40001000 as per the device tree. Maybe we
could try with the generic configuration of OpenSBI and see if it can load the
plic and the serial ports properly directly from the device tree.
2024-07-12 12:38:34 +02:00
Nice, with OpenSBI 1.5 I can see the console errors when trying the generic
configuration:

init_coldboot: timer init failed (error -3)
Seems to be failing in `sbi_timer_init()` with `cold_boot = true` .
And the -3 error seems to be:
#define SBI_ERR_INVALID_PARAM -3
I assume it is calling `fdt_timer_init()` .
Let's try removing the `reg-names` property, as it seems to cause it to enter a
different branch, but "control" is never matched there.
2024-07-12 12:44:21 +02:00
Still failing, the problem must be somewhere else.
Let's try with openpiton configuration instead.
2024-07-12 13:19:10 +02:00
Doesn't even start the UART:
GGGGGGGGG
These G's must be coming from the bootrom.
So let's go back to the generic platform and place some `printf()` calls to
determine where it is failing.

Okay, now we can see where it failed. I wonder why aren't these messages enabled
by default. I'll guess this is the `timer_mtimer_cold_init()` function, so let's
add some more instrumentation there.
It seems that SiFive timer has a very long weird offset:
if (is_clint) { /* SiFive CLINT */
/* Set CLINT addresses */
mt->mtimecmp_addr = addr[0] + ACLINT_DEFAULT_MTIMECMP_OFFSET;
mt->mtimecmp_size = ACLINT_DEFAULT_MTIMECMP_SIZE;
if (!quirks->clint_without_mtime) {
mt->mtime_addr = addr[0] + ACLINT_DEFAULT_MTIME_OFFSET;
mt->mtime_size = size[0] - mt->mtimecmp_size;
/* Adjust MTIMER address and size for CLINT device */
mt->mtime_addr += quirks->clint_mtime_offset;
mt->mtime_size -= quirks->clint_mtime_offset;
} else {
mt->mtime_addr = mt->mtime_size = 0;
}
mt->mtimecmp_addr += quirks->clint_mtime_offset;
} else { /* RISC-V ACLINT MTIMER */
/* Set ACLINT MTIMER addresses */
mt->mtime_addr = addr[0];
mt->mtime_size = size[0];
mt->mtimecmp_addr = addr[1];
mt->mtimecmp_size = size[1];
}
We may want to use the ACLINT timer instead. Let's first see where the addresses
lay in memory, and then use that to verify we change it to 0x0 and 0x8.

Yeah, those addresses are not what we want. Based on the device tree, the clint
must be at 0x40002000, so they should be 40002000 and 40002008. Also I made some
typos in the printf command, this is the patch:
+ sbi_printf("timer_mtimer_cold_init: mtime_addr = 0x%08lx\n", mt->mtime_addr);
+ sbi_printf("timer_mtimer_cold_init: mtime_size = 0x%08lx\n", mt->mtime_size);
+ sbi_printf("timer_mtimer_cold_init: mtime_addr = 0x%08lx\n", mt->mtimecmp_addr);
+ sbi_printf("timer_mtimer_cold_init: mtime_addr = 0x%08lx\n", mt->mtimecmp_size);
So, let's fix the patch and switch to the "riscv,aclint-mtimer" timer, which
doesn't set any quirk or weird offset.

sbi_platform_timer: sbi_platform_timer_init failed (-3)

So, now we have better addresses, but this is not what I would expect. The regs
property is being used to set the mtime address and size, while I would expect
it to set the `mtimecmp_addr` too, but it seems it is expecting two pairs of
address and size in the regs:
reg = < 0x0 0x40002000 0x0 0x000c0000 > ;
So, first let's add the mtimecmp after the mtime registers and see if that
clears the -3 error.
I'll leave it at 0x40002000, but I suspect the address might be 0x40170000:
#define OX_ALVEO_TIMER_BASE 0x40170000
2024-07-12 14:43:09 +02:00
After booting again, now it seems to work. But I'm not sure if that
may cause more problems down the line.

This is very interesting, because all these lockups show the same symptoms and
they may be related with the kernel trying to access an area of memory that it
shouldn't.
First, let's remove the reserved region, as now OpenSBI properly forwards the
regions to the kernel.
2024-07-12 14:57:43 +02:00
It continues to hang, but at least now we don't have overlap of memory regions:

Let's remove the clint from the device tree for now, just to see if it is
affecting.
2024-07-12 16:09:36 +02:00
Disabling the clint doesn't seem to cause any effect. In fact, the kernel is
still able to get a clock as shown in the kernel messages.
2024-07-12 17:38:53 +02:00
### OBSERVATION: The kernel hangs after the unaligned check begins
2024-07-12 16:09:36 +02:00
I enabled the ftrace for initcall and I can see that is getting stuck in the
unaligned check:

This makes me wonder if what has just happened is that somehow we have
overwritten the OpenSBI trap for unaligned access and we are now executing some
garbage code in machine mode.
Based on the OpenSBI regions, I would assume here is where the traps should be:
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
It should be feasible to read the memory from the host where those traps are
placed.
Here are the FDT reserved areas that U-Boot sees before switching to the kernel:
=> fdt print /reserved-memory
reserved-memory {
#address -cells = < 0x00000002 > ;
#size -cells = < 0x00000002 > ;
ranges;
mmode_resv1@80000000 {
reg = < 0x00000000 0x80000000 0x00000000 0x00040000 > ;
no-map;
};
mmode_resv0@80040000 {
reg = < 0x00000000 0x80040000 0x00000000 0x00020000 > ;
no-map;
};
dma_pool@60000000 {
reg = < 0x00000000 0x60000000 0x00000000 0x10000000 > ;
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
};
dma_pool@70000000 {
reg = < 0x00000000 0x70000000 0x00000000 0x10000000 > ;
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
};
};
Which match with the ones the kernel parse:
[ 0.000000] OF: reserved mem: 0x0000000080000000..0x000000008003ffff (256 KiB) nomap non-reusable mmode_resv1@80000000
[ 0.000000] OF: reserved mem: 0x0000000080040000..0x000000008005ffff (128 KiB) nomap non-reusable mmode_resv0@80040000
And with the OpenSBI regions (in reverse order):
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008005ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Let's add some instrumentation in the code that handles the traps in OpenSBI.

Here are the current options that match ALIGN:

We may want to set these two:

# CONFIG_RISCV_SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is not set
And disable
CONFIG_RISCV_PROBE_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y
So we don't perform the probing. However, this may bite later, so probably is a
better idea to debug it now. I could bound where it is failing as it doesn't
seem to be outside the speed check function.
Those 8 pairs of load and store calls seem to match this assembly function in
arch/riscv/kernel/copy-unaligned.S:
/* void __riscv_copy_bytes_unaligned(void *, const void * , size_t) */
/* Performs a memcpy without aligning buffers, using only byte accesses. */
/* Note: The size is truncated to a multiple of 8 */

So here is the simplified output using the format `<X>` where X is one character
that differentiates the type of trap.
Based on the code that performs the check:
/*
* For a fixed amount of time, repeatedly try the function, and take
* the best time in cycles as the measurement.
*/
while (time_before(jiffies, now + (1 < < MISALIGNED_ACCESS_JIFFIES_LG2 ) ) ) {
start_cycles = get_cycles64();
/* Ensure the CSR read can't reorder WRT to the copy. */
mb();
__riscv_copy_words_unaligned(dst, src, MISALIGNED_COPY_SIZE);
/* Ensure the copy ends before the end time is snapped. */
mb();
end_cycles = get_cycles64();
if ((end_cycles - start_cycles) < word_cycles )
word_cycles = end_cycles - start_cycles;
}
byte_cycles = -1ULL;
__riscv_copy_bytes_unaligned(dst, src, MISALIGNED_COPY_SIZE);
start_jiffies = jiffies;
while ((now = jiffies) == start_jiffies)
cpu_relax();
while (time_before(jiffies, now + (1 < < MISALIGNED_ACCESS_JIFFIES_LG2 ) ) ) {
start_cycles = get_cycles64();
mb();
__riscv_copy_bytes_unaligned(dst, src, MISALIGNED_COPY_SIZE);
mb();
end_cycles = get_cycles64();
if ((end_cycles - start_cycles) < byte_cycles )
byte_cycles = end_cycles - start_cycles;
}
preempt_enable();
/* Don't divide by zero. */
if (!word_cycles || !byte_cycles) {
pr_warn("cpu%d: rdtime lacks granularity needed to measure unaligned access speed\n",
cpu);
return 0;
}
if (word_cycles < byte_cycles )
speed = RISCV_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_FAST;
ratio = div_u64((byte_cycles * 100), word_cycles);
pr_info("cpu%d: Ratio of byte access time to unaligned word access is %d.%02d, unaligned accesses are %s\n",
cpu,
ratio / 100,
ratio % 100,
(speed == RISCV_HWPROBE_MISALIGNED_FAST) ? "fast" : "slow");
The fact that the print line with the "Ratio of byte access..." doesn't appear,
puts the hang place at some point in between the check and the `pr_info()` call.
If this is a problem on the OpenSBI side, we can bisect the code to find out
where the problem was introduced. But first, I would have to try OpenSBI 1.4 and
ensure we can reproduce it.
2024-07-12 18:19:58 +02:00
Okay so with OpenSBI 1.4 we have a hang in the same place.
Lets compare the domain regions:
With OpenSBI 1.4 `fpga/alveo_ox` :
Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000040000fff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008004ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff M: () S/U: (R,W,X)
Domain0 Next Address : 0x0000000080200000
Domain0 Next Arg1 : 0x0000000080017000
With OpenSBI 1.4 `generic` :
Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000040001000-0x0000000040001fff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008005ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000040800000-0x0000000040bfffff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region04 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff M: () S/U: (R,W,X)
Domain0 Next Address : 0x0000000080200000
Domain0 Next Arg1 : 0x0000000080100000
With OpenSBI 1.5 `generic` :
Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000040001000-0x0000000040001fff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008005ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000040800000-0x0000000040bfffff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region04 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff M: () S/U: (R,W,X)
Domain0 Next Address : 0x0000000080200000
Domain0 Next Arg1 : 0x0000000080100000
So we have several changes.
First, the PLIC has a new memory map. Let's comment it out in the device tree,
and see what happens.
2024-07-12 18:25:14 +02:00
Hangs in the same place, but now we don't have the 0x40800000 region with
OpenSBI 1.4 generic:
Domain0 Region00 : 0x0000000040001000-0x0000000040001fff M: (I,R,W) S/U: (R,W)
Domain0 Region01 : 0x0000000080040000-0x000000008005ffff M: (R,W) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region02 : 0x0000000080000000-0x000000008003ffff M: (R,X) S/U: ()
Domain0 Region03 : 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff M: () S/U: (R,W,X)
Domain0 Next Address : 0x0000000080200000
Domain0 Next Arg1 : 0x0000000080100000
Let's try to move the serial region to 0x40000000, although that seems to be
wrong.
2024-07-12 18:28:43 +02:00
Yep, that causes OpenSBI to not emit any message in the console, so let's put it
back in 0x40001000.
Next, we may want to place the FDT in the previous location, at 0x80017000.
2024-07-12 18:40:39 +02:00
=> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ram0 loglevel=7 debug rw earlycon=sbi console=hvc0 trace_event=initcall:* trace_options=sym-addr tp_printk trace_buf_size=1M"
=> setenv ramdisk_size 12614846
=> booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${ramdisk_size} ${fdtcontroladdr}
Hmm, continues to hang in the same point:
[ 2.852200] initcall_start: func=check_unaligned_access_all_cpus+0x0/0x1d4
With this regions:
OpenSBI v1.4
