Panic with bochs_drm module on qemu-system-sparc64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'm one of the QEMU SPARC maintainers and I've been investigating why
enabling the fb console via the bochs_drm module causes a panic on
startup. The reproducer with QEMU 2.9 is easy:

$ ./qemu-system-sparc64 -m 512 -kernel rel-sparc/vmlinux -append
'console=ttyS0' -serial stdio

This gives the following panic on the serial console:

Looking at this in more detail we can see that the panic occurs when we
first touch the framebuffer memory as part of sys_imageblit() called via
drm_fb_helper_sys_imageblit() and it's caused by sys_imageblit()
dereferencing a pointer to write to the mapped framebuffer.

The bochs_drm driver itself uses a standard approach to map the
framebuffer like this in drivers/gpu/drm/bochs/bochs_hw.c (shortened for
clarity):

  addr = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0);
  size = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0);
  ...
  ...
  bochs->fb_map = ioremap(addr, size);
  if (bochs->fb_map == NULL) {
      DRM_ERROR("Cannot map framebuffer\n");
      return -ENOMEM;
  }

The issue with SPARC64 systems is that the address returned by ioremap()
is actually a physical address as per this comment in
arch/sparc/include/asm/io_64.h:

  /* On sparc64 we have the whole physical IO address space accessible
   * using physically addressed loads and stores, so this does nothing.
   */
  static inline void __iomem *ioremap(unsigned long offset, unsigned
  long size)
  {
      return (void __iomem *)offset;
  }

This means that unless accesses to the mapped framebuffer are done using
the standard readb/writeb/readw/writew/readl/writel functions which
force physical accesses bypassing the MMU, we end up accessing an
invalid unmapped address.

And it's evident that the code in drivers/video/fbdev/core/sysimgblt.c
doesn't use these accessor functions at all but dereferences the mapped
framebuffer pointer directly, hence causing the panic.

So I can see there are 2 potential issues here:

1) sys_imageblit() shouldn't be accessing ioremap()ped memory by
dereferencing a pointer

2) sys_imageblit() requires a virtual address while
drm_fb_helper_sys_imageblit() incorrectly assumes that any ioremap()ped
address is always virtual and passes it directly through

Note for LKML people: the list is high volume for me and so I'm not
subscribed, so please CC me directly on any reply.


Many thanks,

Mark.
