Re: [XEN PATCH v1 1/4] arch/riscv: initial RISC-V support to build/run minimal Xen



Hi Oleksii,

+ Anthony for the Makefile changes.

On 23/12/2022 11:16, Oleksii Kurochko wrote:
The patch provides a minimal amount of changes to start
build and run minimal Xen binary at GitLab CI&CD that will
allow continuous checking of the build status of RISC-V Xen.

RISC-V Xen can be built by the following instructions:
   $ CONTAINER=riscv64 ./automation/scripts/containerize \
        make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=riscv64 tiny64_defconfig
   $ CONTAINER=riscv64 ./automation/scripts/containerize \
        make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=riscv64 -C xen build

RISC-V Xen can be run as:
   $ qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -smp 1 -nographic -m 2g \
        -kernel xen/xen

To run in debug mode should be done the following instructions:
  $ qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -smp 1 -nographic -m 2g \
         -kernel xen/xen -s -S
  # In separate terminal:
  $ riscv64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gdb
  $ target remote :1234
  $ add-symbol-file <xen_src>/xen/xen-syms 0x80200000
  $ hb *0x80200000
  $ c # it should stop at instruction j 0x80200000 <start>

Any reason to not use the variable clean-files as this is done for the other architectures?

Why do you need the ifneq here?

Can you explain in the commit message why you need to change this? But ideally, this change should be part of a separate one.

I think you at least want to use _AT(unsigned long, ...) here to make clear this value should be interpreted as an unsigned value.

You could even define vaddr_t now as you introduce a dummy types.h below.

+/*

TBH, I think this is a shortcut that is unnecessary and will only introduce extra churn in the future (for instance, you will need to modify the include in xen.lds.S).

But I am not the maintainer, so I will leave that decision to them whether this is acceptable.

You are missing some sections here such as .text.cold, .text.unlikely...

I understand they are probably not used yet. But it will avoid any nasty surprise if they are forgotten.

You introduce _srodata but I can't find the matching _erodata.

+
+  . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);
+  .data : { /* Data */

It would be better if you introduce .data.read_mostly right now separately.

You also want *.data.page_aligned in .data.

Lastly you are missing CONSTRUCTORS

+  } :text
+

I am assuming you are going to add .init.* afterwards?

+  . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);
+  .bss : {
+       __bss_start = .;
+       *(.bss .bss.*)

Same as .data, I would recommend to properly populate it.
