## 2024-07-02
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";
## 2024-07-03<!--{{{-->
I cannot switch to `gcc.arch = rv64ima` because rust fails to build.
**Assumption**: The extensions F and D work well and don't cause a hang in the<!--{{{-->
CPU.
Let's go back and try to get the initrd shell, so we can systematically hang it
in the `switch_root`

### OBSERVATION: The riscv-timer seems to be causing interrupts with IRQ 5:<!--{{{-->
```

Add busybox patch to see debug lines
The switch_root command seems to hang in the execv() syscall.

That was my mistake as I need to put the baud speed in the ttyS0, like this:

The idea is to keep a counter in some memory of the kernel so we can see it from
the host being moved.

### QUESTION: Can we disable the serial driver 8250 from loading?<!--{{{-->
initcall_blacklist=<driver_init>
I need to know the 8250 init function name:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:static int __init serial8250_init(void)
So...
initcall_blacklist=serial8250_init
Yes, but that doesn't seem to do anything. It is hanging:

### QUESTION: What happens if we remap the interruptions?<!--{{{-->
- Move the serial from 0 to 1
- Move the plic from 3 to 2 and remove 7
Now we have one context only:
[ 0.000000] riscv-intc: 64 local interrupts mapped
[ 0.000000] plic: plic@40800000: mapped 3 interrupts with 0 handlers for 1 contexts.
[ 0.000000] riscv: providing IPIs using SBI IPI extension
Rather than two:
[ 0.000000] riscv-intc: 64 local interrupts mapped
[ 0.000000] plic: plic@40800000: mapped 3 interrupts with 0 handlers for 2 contexts.
[ 0.000000] riscv: providing IPIs using SBI IPI extension
<!--}}}-->
### QUESTION: What happens if we block the `sbi_ipi` driver?<!--{{{-->
initcall_blacklist=sbi_ipi_init
Nothing, it cannot be disabled it seems. I will remove SMP support so it won't
be compiled in.
<!--}}}-->
### OBSERVATION: Searching for 'riscv,plic0' only matches irq-sifive-plic driver.<!--{{{-->
hut% rg 'riscv,plic0'
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/sifive,plic-1.0.0.yaml
72: - const: riscv,plic0
drivers/irqchip/irq-sifive-plic.c
572:IRQCHIP_DECLARE(riscv_plic0, "riscv,plic0", plic_init); /* for legacy systems */
So it looks that the only driver that setups the plic is the one used by SiFive.
Here is the doc: https://static.dev.sifive.com/U54-MC-RVCoreIP.pdf
<!--}}}-->
### OBSERVATION: The number of handlers is 0, so there are no interruptions.<!--{{{-->
It seems the number next to the phandle of the interrupts-extended attribute in
the plic follows a different convention of values. Using 9 and 11:
plic: plic@40800000: mapped 3 interrupts with 1 handlers for 2 contexts.

**Remark**: The key combination to run Magic SysRq using the HVC console is<!--{{{-->
Ctrl-O and then the SysRq key. It only works it the console is being actively
polled, otherwise it hangs.<!--}}}-->

### OBSERVATION: I can dump iomem memory with the tool devmem:<!--{{{-->
But it seems I cannot dump the registers of the serial io mapped region:
~ # cat /proc/iomem

100000000-1bfffffff : namespace0.0
~ # devmem 0x40001000
devmem: mmap: Operation not permitted
It looks like the following options may be required to be disabled to allow
user-space tools read those regions.
~ # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y
~ # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM
CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=y
Let's try disabling `CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM` and see if we can read the serial
registers.
It works!

### OBSERVATION: The interrupt register of the serial console is 0x0:<!--{{{-->
Assuming the console registers follow AXI UART 16550, here is the IER:
> 0x1004 IER R/W Interrupt Enable Register
Which is zero:
~ # devmem 0x40001004
0x00000000
The line control register is 0x3:
~ # devmem 0x4000100C
0x00000003
<!--}}}-->
### QUESTION: Can I write to some memory address and see the result from the host?<!--{{{-->
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
0x00000193
~ # 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' $FPGACTL_KERNEL_ADDR
0x24000000
So we should see the same values as the kernel file:
[bsc015557@fpgan02 nixos]$ dd if=kernel.bin count=16 bs=1 2>/dev/null| xxd
00000000: 6f00 400d 0000 0000 0000 2000 0000 0000 o.@....... .....
But we don't see the same:
[bsc015557@fpgan02 nixos]$ dd if=/dev/qdma34000-MM-1 count=16 bs=1 skip=$FPGACTL_KERNEL_ADDR 2>/dev/null | xxd

### OBSERVATION: The kernel continues working when the console hangs.<!--{{{-->
Switching to 0x100000000 as 0x60000000 shows:
~ # devmem 0x6000000
0xBADCAB1E
With the following loop:
~ # i=0; while [ 1 ]; do let i=$i+1; devmem 0x100000000 32 $i; done &
~ # cat /dev/ttyS0
(hangs)
Shows the kernel works:
[bsc015557@fpgan02 nixos]$ while [ 1 ]; do xxd -s $((0x100000000 - 0x60000000)) -l 4 /dev/qdma34000-MM-1; sleep 0.2; done

<!--}}}-->
### QUESTION: Can we reproduce it with `switch_root`?<!--{{{-->
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.
I added a loop in the stage1 script.<!--}}}-->
### QUESTION: Can we see any clock in memory?<!--{{{-->
This will allow us to check if the AXI still works.

### OBSERVATION: The kernel stops updating the counter in the mount phase.<!--{{{-->
Managed to reach the mount and hang there:

$ xxd -s 5905514496 -l 4 /dev/qdma34000-MM-1
5fff0000: 3b02 0000 ;...
It looks like the kernel is the one getting stuck *or* at least is unable to
propagate the heartbeat changes to the host. It would be nice to monitor a
hardware clock from the DMA region too, so we can discard problems in the AXI.

### ASSUMPTION: The kernel hangs.<!--{{{-->
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
script, I enable the function tracer and the filter.

Still, it may be hang in a similar way, causing a loop of page faults just
while trying to printk to the console, which would explain why we don't see
anything and why the heartbeat stops.

Fran has created another bitstream with two consoles enabled
(`ox_u55c_a234c132.bit`), let see if I manage to boot with it.
First I will need to enable the consoles on the DTS.
It doesn't seem to produce any output in the UART. I cannot see OpenSBI while
loading it on each baud rate:
Type [C-a] [C-h] to see available commands
Terminal ready
*** baud: 57600 ***
*** baud: 38400 ***
*** baud: 19200 ***
*** baud: 9600 ***
[...]
*** baud: 230400 ***
*** baud: 460800 ***
Let's keep the bitstream files in a repository, so I can carefully track them
with git too.
### OBSERVATION: The new bitstream requires a bootrom to start
I added it to the bitstream repository, as it is a binary blob too. Now I need
to update the load addresses:

### QUESTION: What happens if we disable `CONFIG_BUG`
May be a long shot, but if we are experiencing the same page fault loop as in
cincoranch we may as well try.
## 2024-07-09
### QUESTION: Maybe we can try without out-of-order?
I made a small tool in C to view and change the CSR register that controls the
in-order/out-of-order. Maybe we can try with the "in-order" setting.
We arrive to execute `systemd`:

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.
### QUESTION: Can we crash the CPU by exercising the memory?
I did a small tool `memtool` that performs allocations and
deallocations.
Good news, the tool has hang the console (potentially the kernel too).
