However, I still see that the patch series
results in boot hangs with the sifive_u qemu emulation, where
the log ends with "Oops - illegal instruction". Is that problem
being addressed as well ?

Hmm, if it died on the last commit in this series, then I am not sure.
If you meant with riscv/for-next or linux-next that's fixed by a patch
from Samuel:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/patch/20230212021534.59121-3-samuel@xxxxxxxxxxxx/


It failed after the merge, so it looks like it may have been merge damage.

Anyway, I applied

RISC-V: Don't check text_mutex during stop_machine

That being:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220322022331.32136-1-palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
Which handles the lockdep assertion during stop_machine...

riscv: Fix early alternative patching
riscv: Fix Zbb alternative IDs

and the sifive_u emulation no longer crashes. However, I still get

[    0.000000] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    0.000000] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/riscv/kernel/patch.c:71 patch_insn_write+0x222/0x2f6

...but doesn't prevent the early "spam" of assertion failures from the
code patching for alternatives. I sent a patch to take the lock during
the alternative patching which should get rid of them for you. It did
for me at least!
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230212194735.491785-1-conor@xxxxxxxxxx

repeated several times.

I then also tested

riscv: patch: Fixup lockdep warning in stop_machine

This one just deletes the lockdep check, so I would expect it to remove
the complaints.

riscv: Fix early alternative patching
riscv: Fix Zbb alternative IDs

which works fine (no warning backtrace) for sifive_u, but gives me

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/trace_events.c:433 trace_event_raw_init+0xde/0x642

Hmm, do you have the full splat for this one handy?

and so on.

It bisects to "RISC-V: add zbb support to string functions", which also seems
to cause various boot failures. Unfortunately that patch is difficult to revert,
but marking TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZBB as broken "fixes" it. I don't know if there is
a problem with the patch or with qemu. I'll disable RISCV_ISA_ZBB in my tests
for the time being to work around it.

Guenter


and a whole lot of

event btrfs_clear_extent_bit has unsafe dereference of argument 1

and similar messages when running the "virt" emulation. That was there before,
but drowned in the noise. Ok, guess I'll need another round of bisect.

Thanks for all of your testing :)
