From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

This patch series adds s64ilp32 support to riscv. The term s64ilp32
means smode-xlen=64 and -mabi=ilp32 (ints, longs, and pointers are all
32-bit), i.e., running 32-bit Linux kernel on pure 64-bit supervisor
mode. There have been many 64ilp32 abis existing, such as mips-n32 [1],
arm-aarch64ilp32 [2], and x86-x32 [3], but they are all about userspace.
Thus, this should be the first time running a 32-bit Linux kernel with
the 64ilp32 ABI at supervisor mode (If not, correct me).

Why 32-bit Linux?
=================
The motivation for using a 32-bit Linux kernel is to reduce memory
footprint and meet the small capacity of DDR & cache requirement
(e.g., 64/128MB SIP SoC).

Here are the 32-bit v.s. 64-bit Linux kernel data type comparison
summary:
			32-bit		64-bit
sizeof(page):		32bytes		64bytes
sizeof(list_head):	8bytes		16bytes
sizeof(hlist_head):	8bytes		16bytes
sizeof(vm_area):	68bytes		136bytes
...

The size of ilp32's long & pointer is just half of lp64's (rv64 default
abi - longs and pointers are all 64-bit). This significant difference
in data type causes different memory & cache footprint costs. Here is
the comparison measurement between s32ilp32, s64ilp32, and s64lp64 in
the same 128MB qemu system environment:

                     ^^^^^

It's a rough measurement based on the current default config without any
modification, and 32-bit (s32ilp32, s64ilp32) saved more than 16% memory
to 64-bit (s64lp64). But s32ilp32 & s64ilp32 have a similar memory
footprint (about 0.33% difference), meaning s64ilp32 has a big chance to
replace s32ilp32 on the 64-bit machine.

Why s64ilp32?
=============
The current RISC-V has the profiles of RVA20S64, RVA22S64, and RVA23S64
(ongoing) [4], but no RVA**S32 profile exists or any ongoing plan. That
means when a vendor wants to produce a 32-bit s-mode RISC-V Application
Processor, they have no shape to follow. Therefore, many cheap riscv
chips have come out but follow the RVA2xS64 profiles, such as Allwinner
D1/D1s/F133 [5], SOPHGO CV1800B [6], Canaan Kendryte k230 [7], and
Bouffalo Lab BL808 which are typically cortex a7/a35/a53 product
scenarios. The D1 & CV1800B & BL808 didn't support UXL=32 (32-bit U-mode),
so they need a new u64ilp32 userspace ABI which has no software ecosystem
for the current. Thus, the first landing of s64ilp32 would be on Canaan
Kendryte k230, which has c908 with rv64gcv and compat user mode
(sstatus.uxl=32/64), which could support the existing rv32 userspace
software ecosystem.

Another reason for inventing s64ilp32 is performance benefits and
simplify 64-bit CPU hardware design (v.s. s32ilp32).

Why s64ilp32 has better performance?
====================================
Generally speaking, we should build a 32-bit hardware s-mode to run
32-bit Linux on a 64-bit processor (such as Linux-arm32 on cortex-a53).
Or only use old 32ilp32-abi on a 64-bit machine (such as mips
SYS_SUPPORTS_32BIT_KERNEL). These can't reuse performance-related
features and instructions of the 64-bit hardware, such as 64-bit ALU,
AMO, and LD/SD, which would cause significant performance gaps on many
Linux features:

 - memcpy/memset/strcmp (s64ilp32 has half of the instructions count
   and double the bandwidth of load/store instructions than s32ilp32.)

 - ebpf JIT is a 64-bit virtual ISA, which is not suitable
   for mapping to s32ilp32.

 - Atomic64 (s64ilp32 has the exact native instructions mapping as
   s64lp64, but s32ilp32 only uses generic_atomic64, a tradeoff &
   limited software solution.)

 - 64-bit native arithmetic instructions for "long long" type

 - Support cmxchg_double for slub (The 2nd 32-bit Linux
   supports the feature, the 1st is i386.)

 - ...

Compared with the user space ecosystem, the 32-bit Linux kernel is more
eager to need 64ilp32 to improve performance because the Linux kernel
can't utilize float-point/vector features of the ISA.

Let's look at performance from another perspective (s64ilp32 v.s.
s64lp64). Just as the first chapter said, the pointer size of ilp32 is
half of the lp64, and it reduces the size of the critical data structs
(e.g., page, list, ...). That means the cache of using ilp32 could
contain double data that lp64 with the same cache capacity, which is a
natural advantage of 32-bit.

Why s64ilp32 simplifies CPU design?
===================================
Yes, there are a lot of runing 32-bit Linux on 64-bit hardware examples
in history, such as arm cortex a35/a53/a55, which implements the 32-bit
EL1/EL2/EL3 hardware mode to support 32-bit Linux. We could follow Arm's
style, but riscv could choose another better way. Compared to UXL=32,
the MXL=SXL=32 has many CSR-related hardware functionalities, which
causes a lot of effort to mix them into 64-bit hardware. The s64ilp32
works on MXL=SXL=64 mode, so the CPU vendors needn't implement 32-bit
machine and supervisor modes.

How does s64ilp32 work?
=======================
The s64ilp32 is the same as the s64lp64 compat mode from a hardware
view, i.e., MXL=SXL=64 + UXL=32. Because the s64ilp32 uses CONFIG_32BIT
of Linux, it only supports u32ilp32 abi user space, the current standard
rv32 software ecosystem, and it can't work with u64lp64 abi (I don't
want that complex and useless stuff). But it may work with u64ilp32 in the
future; now, the s64ilp32 depends on the UXL=32 feature of the hardware.

The 64ilp32 gcc still uses sign-extend lw & auipc to generate address
variables because inserting zero-extend instructions to mask the highest
32-bit would cause significant code size and performance problems. Thus,
we invented an OS approach to solve the problem:
 - When satp=bare and start physical address < 2GB, there is no sign-extend
   address problem.
 - When satp=bare and start physical address > 2GB, we need zjpm liked
   hardware extensions to mask high 32bit.
   (Fortunately, all existed SoCs' (D1/D1s/F133, CV1800B, k230, BL808)
    start physical address < 2GB.)
 - When satp=sv39, we invent double mapping to make the sign-extended
   virtual address the same as the zero-extended virtual address.

The size of xlen was always equal to the pointer/long size before
s64ilp32 emerged. So we need to introduce a new type of data - xlen_t,
which could deal with CSR-related and callee-save/restore operations.

Some kernel features use 32BIT/64BIT to determine the exact ISA, such as
ebpf JIT would map to rv32 ISA when CONFIG_32BIT=y. But s64ilp32 needs
the ebpf JIT map to rv64 ISA when CONFIG_32BIT=y and we need to use
another config to distinguish the difference.

More detials, please review the path series.

Open issues
===========

Callee saved the register width
-------------------------------
For 64-bit ISA (including 64lp64, 64ilp32), callee can't determine the
correct width used in the register, so they saved the maximum width of
the ISA register, i.e., xlen size. We also found this rule in x86-x32,
mips-n32, and aarch64ilp32, which comes from 64lp64. See PATCH [20]

Here are two downsides of this:
 - It would cause a difference with 32ilp32's stack frame, and s64ilp32
   reuses 32ilp32 software stack. Thus, many additional compatible
   problems would happen during the porting of 64ilp32 software.
 - It also increases the budget of the stack usage.
   <setup_vm>:
     auipc   a3,0xff3fb
     add     a3,a3,1234 # c0000000
     li      a5,-1
     lui     a4,0xc0000
     addw    sp,sp,-96
     srl     a5,a5,0x20
     subw    a4,a4,a3
     auipc   a2,0x111a
     add     a2,a2,1212 # c1d1f000
     sd      s0,80(sp)----+
     sd      s1,72(sp)    |
     sd      s2,64(sp)    |
     sd      s7,24(sp)    |
     sd      s8,16(sp)    |
     sd      s9,8(sp)     |-> All <= 32b widths, but occupy 64b
     sd      ra,88(sp)    |   stack space.
     sd      s3,56(sp)    |   Affect memory footprint & cache
     sd      s4,48(sp)    |   performance.
     sd      s5,40(sp)    |
     sd      s6,32(sp)    |
     sd      s10,0(sp)----+
     sll     a1,a4,0x20
     subw    a2,a2,a3
     and     a4,a4,a5

So here is a proposal to riscv 64ilp32 ABI:
 - Let the compiler prevent callee saving ">32b variables" in
   callee-registers. (Q: We need to measure, how the influence of
   64b variables cross function call?)

EF_RISCV_X32
------------
We add an e_flag (EF_RISCV_X32) to distinguish the 32-bit ELF, which
occupies BIT[6] of the e_flags layout.

ELF Header:
  Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
  Class:                             ELF32
  Data:                              2's complement, little endian
  Version:                           1 (current)
  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
  ABI Version:                       0
  Type:                              REL (Relocatable file)
  Machine:                           RISC-V
  Version:                           0x1
  Entry point address:               0x0
  Start of program headers:          0 (bytes into file)
  Start of section headers:          24620 (bytes into file)
  Flags:                             0x21, RVC, X32, soft-float ABI
                                                ^^^
64-bit Optimization problem
---------------------------
There is an existing problem in 64ilp32 gcc that combines two pointers
in one register. Liao is solving that problem. Before he finishes the
job, we could prevent it with a simple noinline attribute, fortunately.
    struct path {
            struct vfsmount *mnt;
            struct dentry *dentry;
    } __randomize_layout;

    struct nameidata {
            struct path     path;
            ...
            struct path     root;
    ...
    } __randomize_layout;

            struct nameidata *nd
            ...
            nd->path = nd->root;
    6c88                    ld      a0,24(s1)
                                    ^^ // a0 contains two pointers
    e088                    sd      a0,0(s1)
            mntget(path->mnt);
            // Need "lw a0,0(s1)" or "a0 << 32; a0 >> 32"
    2a6150ef                jal     c01ce946 <mntget> // bug!
