A few months ago I submitted a patch to various lists, deprecating
"riscv,isa" with a lengthy commit message [0] that is now commit
aeb71e42caae ("dt-bindings: riscv: deprecate riscv,isa") in the Linux
kernel tree. Primarily, the goal was to replace "riscv,isa" with a new
set of properties that allowed for strictly defining the meaning of
various extensions, where "riscv,isa" was tied to whatever definitions
inflicted upon us by the ISA manual, which have seen some variance over
time.
Two new properties were introduced: "riscv,isa-base" and
"riscv,isa-extensions". The former is a simple string to communicate the
base ISA implemented by a hart and the latter an array of strings used
to communicate the set of ISA extensions supported, per the definitions
of each substring in extensions.yaml [1]. A beneficial side effect was
also the ability to define vendor extensions in a more "official" way,
as the ISA manual and other RVI specifications only covered the format
for vendor extensions in the ISA string, but not the meaning of vendor
extensions, for obvious reasons.
Add support for setting these two new properties in the devicetrees for
the various devicetree platforms supported by QEMU for RISC-V. The Linux
kernel already supports parsing ISA extensions from these new
properties, and documenting them in the dt-binding is a requirement for
new extension detection being added to the kernel.
A side effect of the implementation is that the meaning for elements in
"riscv,isa" and in "riscv,isa-extensions" are now tied together as they
are constructed from the same source. The same applies to the ISA string
provided in ACPI tables, but there does not appear to be any strict
definitions of meanings in ACPI land either.

The microchip_icicle_kit, sifive_u, spike and virt boards are now doing
the same steps when '-kernel' is used:
- execute load_kernel()
- load init_rd()
- write kernel_cmdline
Let's fold everything inside riscv_load_kernel() to avoid code
repetition. To not change the behavior of boards that aren't calling
riscv_load_init(), add an 'load_initrd' flag to riscv_load_kernel() and
allow these boards to opt out from initrd loading.

Next patch will move all calls to riscv_load_initrd() to
riscv_load_kernel(). Machines that want to load initrd will be able to
do via an extra flag to riscv_load_kernel().
This change will expose a sign-extend behavior that is happening in
load_elf_ram_sym() when running 32 bit guests [1]. This is currently
obscured by the fact that riscv_load_initrd() is using the return of
riscv_load_kernel(), defined as target_ulong, and this return type will
crop the higher 32 bits that would be padded with 1s by the sign
extension when running in 32 bit targets. The changes to be done will
force riscv_load_initrd() to use an uint64_t instead, exposing it to the
padding when dealing with 32 bit CPUs.
There is a discussion about whether load_elf_ram_sym() should or should
not sign extend the value returned by 'lowaddr'. What we can do is to
prevent the behavior change that the next patch will end up doing.
riscv_load_initrd() wasn't dealing with 64 bit kernel entries when
running 32 bit CPUs, and we want to keep it that way.
One way of doing it is to use target_ulong in 'kernel_entry' in
riscv_load_kernel() and rely on the fact that this var will not be sign
extended for 32 bit targets. Another way is to explictly clear the
higher 32 bits when running 32 bit CPUs for all possibilities of
kernel_entry.
We opted for the later. This will allow us to be clear about the design
choices made in the function, while also allowing us to add a small
comment about what load_elf_ram_sym() is doing. With this change, the
consolation patch can do its job without worrying about unintended
behavioral changes.

As it is now, riscv_compute_fdt_addr() is receiving a dram_base, a
mem_size (which is defaulted to MachineState::ram_size in all boards)
and the FDT pointer. And it makes a very important assumption: the DRAM
interval dram_base + mem_size is contiguous. This is indeed the case for
most boards that use a FDT.
The Icicle Kit board works with 2 distinct RAM banks that are separated
by a gap. We have a lower bank with 1GiB size, a gap follows, then at
64GiB the high memory starts. MachineClass::default_ram_size for this
board is set to 1.5Gb, and machine_init() is enforcing it as minimal RAM
size, meaning that there we'll always have at least 512 MiB in the Hi
RAM area.
Using riscv_compute_fdt_addr() in this board is weird because not only
the board has sparse RAM, and it's calling it using the base address of
the Lo RAM area, but it's also using a mem_size that we have guarantees
that it will go up to the Hi RAM. All the function assumptions doesn't
work for this board.
In fact, what makes the function works at all in this case is a
coincidence. Commit 1a475d39ef introduced a 3GB boundary for the FDT,
down from 4Gb, that is enforced if dram_base is lower than 3072 MiB. For
the Icicle Kit board, memmap[MICROCHIP_PFSOC_DRAM_LO].base is 0x80000000
(2 Gb) and it has a 1Gb size, so it will fall in the conditions to put
the FDT under a 3Gb address, which happens to be exactly at the end of
DRAM_LO. If the base address of the Lo area started later than 3Gb this
function would be unusable by the board. Changing any assumptions inside
riscv_compute_fdt_addr() can also break it by accident as well.
Let's change riscv_compute_fdt_addr() semantics to be appropriate to the
Icicle Kit board and for future boards that might have sparse RAM
topologies to worry about:
- relieve the condition that the dram_base + mem_size area is contiguous,
since this is already not the case today;
- receive an extra 'dram_size' size attribute that refers to a contiguous
RAM block that the board wants the FDT to reside on.
Together with 'mem_size' and 'fdt', which are now now being consumed by a
MachineState pointer, we're able to make clear assumptions based on the
DRAM block and total mem_size available to ensure that the FDT will be put
in a valid RAM address.

A common trend in other archs is to calculate the fdt address, which is
usually straightforward, and then calling a function that loads the
fdt/dtb by using that address.
riscv_load_fdt() is doing a bit too much in comparison. It's calculating
the fdt address via an elaborated heuristic to put the FDT at the bottom
of DRAM, and "bottom of DRAM" will vary across boards and
configurations, then it's actually loading the fdt, and finally it's
returning the fdt address used to the caller.
Reduce the existing complexity of riscv_load_fdt() by splitting its code
into a new function, riscv_compute_fdt_addr(), that will take care of
all fdt address logic. riscv_load_fdt() can then be a simple function
that just loads a fdt at the given fdt address.
We're also taken the opportunity to clarify the intentions and
assumptions made by these functions. riscv_load_fdt() is now receiving a
hwaddr as fdt_addr because there is no restriction of having to load the
fdt in higher addresses that doesn't fit in an uint32_t.

The sifive_u, spike and virt machines are writing the 'bootargs' FDT
node during their respective create_fdt().
Given that bootargs is written only when '-append' is used, and this
option is only allowed with the '-kernel' option, which in turn is
already being check before executing riscv_load_kernel(), write
'bootargs' in the same code path as riscv_load_kernel().

riscv_load_initrd() returns the initrd end addr while also writing a
'start' var to mark the addr start. These informations are being used
just to write the initrd FDT node. Every existing caller of
riscv_load_initrd() is writing the FDT in the same manner.
We can simplify things by writing the FDT inside riscv_load_initrd(),
sparing callers from having to manage start/end addrs to write the FDT
themselves.
An 'if (fdt)' check is already inserted at the end of the function
because we'll end up using it later on with other boards that doesn´t
have a FDT.

At present create_fdt() calls htif_uses_elf_symbols() to determine
whether to insert a <reg> property for the HTIF. This unfortunately
creates a hidden dependency to riscv_load_{firmware,kernel} that
create_fdt() must be called after the ELF {firmware,kernel} image
has been loaded.
Decouple such dependency be adding a new parameter to create_fdt(),
whether custom HTIF base address is used. The flag will be set if
non ELF {firmware,kernel} image is given by user.

Some boards are duplicating the 'riscv_find_and_load_firmware' call
because the 32 and 64 bits images have different names. Create
a function to handle this detail instead of hardcoding it in the boards.
Ideally we would bake this logic inside riscv_find_and_load_firmware(),
or even create a riscv_load_default_firmware(), but at this moment we
cannot infer whether the machine is running 32 or 64 bits without
accessing RISCVHartArrayState, which in turn can't be accessed via the
common code from boot.c. In the end we would exchange 'firmware_name'
for a flag with riscv_is_32bit(), which isn't much better than what we
already have today.

If specified CPU configuration is not valid, not just it prints error
message, it aborts and generates core dumps (depends on the operating
system). This kind of error handling should be used only when a serious
runtime error occurs.
This commit makes error handling on CPU configuration more generous on
virt/spike machines. It now just prints error message and quits (without
coredumps and aborts).

tried to avoid adding *NULL* bootargs to device tree, but unfortunately
the changes were entirely useless, due to MachineState::kernel_cmdline
can't be NULL at all as the default value is given as an empty string.
(see hw/core/machine.c::machine_initfn()).
Note the wording of *NULL* bootargs is wrong. It can't be NULL otherwise
a segfault had already been observed by dereferencing the NULL pointer.
It should be worded as *empty" bootargs.

We extend RISC-V spike machine to allow creating a multi-socket
machine. Each RISC-V spike machine socket is a NUMA node having
a set of HARTs, a memory instance, and a CLINT instance. Other
devices are shared between all sockets. We also update the
generated device tree accordingly.
By default, NUMA multi-socket support is disabled for RISC-V spike
machine. To enable it, users can use "-numa" command-line options
of QEMU.
Example1: For two NUMA nodes with 2 CPUs each, append following
to command-line options: "-smp 4 -numa node -numa node"
Example2: For two NUMA nodes with 1 and 3 CPUs, append following
to command-line options:
"-smp 4 -numa node -numa node -numa cpu,node-id=0,core-id=0 \
-numa cpu,node-id=1,core-id=1 -numa cpu,node-id=1,core-id=2 \
-numa cpu,node-id=1,core-id=3"
The maximum number of sockets in a RISC-V spike machine is 8
but this limit can be changed in future.
