From 7fb1d1e0382c2841906fbc1bad7d902b21fe67de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2024 16:56:02 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: move non-boot built-in DTBs to .rodata section Commit aab94339cd85 ("of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux") introduced a mechanism to embed DTBs into vmlinux. Initially, it was used for wrapping boot DTBs in arch/*/boot/dts/, but it is now reused for more generic purposes, such as testing. Built-in DTBs are discarded because KERNEL_DTB() is part of INIT_DATA, as defined in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. This has not been an issue so far because OF unittests are triggered during boot, as defined by late_initcall(of_unittest). However, the recent clk KUnit test additions have caused problems because KUnit can execute test suites after boot. For example: # echo > /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/clk_register_clk_parent_data_device/run This command triggers a stack trace because built-in DTBs have already been freed. While it is possible to move such test suites from kunit_test_suites to kunit_test_init_section_suites, it would be preferable to avoid usage limitations. This commit moves non-boot built-in DTBs to the .rodata section. Since these generic DTBs are looked up by name, they do not need to be placed in the special .dtb.init.rodata section. Boot DTBs should remain in .dtb.init.rodata because the arch boot code generally does not know the DT name, thus it uses the __dtb_start symbol to locate it. This separation also ensures that the __dtb_start symbol references the boot DTB. Currently, the .dtb.init.rodata is a mixture of both boot and non-boot DTBs. The __dtb_start symbol must be followed by the boot DTB, but we currently rely on the link order (i.e., the order in Makefiles), which is very fragile. The implementation is kind of cheesy; the section is .dtb.init.rodata when $(obj) starts with arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts, and .rodata section otherwise. This will be refactored later.
