arm64 boot panic message

On a recent build of -CURRENT on arm64 I get this panic during boot:

"Too many early devmatch mappings".
Comment 1 Gordon Bergling freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-01-10 11:18:34 UTC
This panic happens on GENERIC and on GENERIC-MMCCAM.

Skipping earlier steps in the investigation, the below from
the lists (slightly adjusted) indicates that the failures in
my testing are tied to having a monitor connected . . .

NEAR QUOTE
Going back to my 19cca0b9613d based debug kernel build that
has the printf's reporting the values used in the test, but
with no monitor attached, it boots fine and reports:

pmap_mapdev early_boot: akva_devmap_vaddr: ffff007ffffff000 size: 1000
pmap_mapdev early_boot: va: ffff007fffffe000 VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS: ffff008000000000 L2_SIZE: 200000

That compares to the previously reported failure figures from
having the monitor attached for that debug kernel:

pmap_mapdev early_boot: akva_devmap_vaddr: ffff007fff816000 size: 1000
pmap_mapdev early_boot: va: ffff007fff815000 VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS: ffff008000000000 L2_SIZE: 200000
panic: Too many early devmap mappings

where the code does:

               KASSERT(va >= VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS - L2_SIZE,
                   ("Too many early devmap mappings"));

Looks like akva_devmap_vaddr gets smaller to make room in high kernel
memory for monitor related data and so va can end up being too small
by the criteria of this test.

I've no clue who would be appropriate for dealing with this.

Turns out that this "too much high kernel memory in use" issue happens for
a combination of 2 things being true at the same time:

A) Monitor attached (sufficiently large pixel count?)
B) GDB enabled, per bbfa199cbc16 .

A git bisect with a 1029x1080 monitor attach ended up with:

# git bisect good

   arm64: gdb(4) machine-dependent bits

   Everything required for remote kernel debugging over a serial
   connection. For FDT-based systems, a debug port can be specified by
   setting hw.fdt.dbgport to the desired device tree node in loader.conf.
   For example, hw.fdt.dbgport="uart1", or
   hw.fdt.dbgport="serial@ff1a0000".

fix pmap_mapdev assert

Hi Mark,

Thank you describing how to reproduce the issue, I was able to trigger the same issue on my rockpro64 with the HDMI cable attached and GDB enabled. Please try the attached patch and let me know if it fixes the issue for you.

Indeed it appears to be an interesting combination of factors. The crux of the issue is that the KASSERT in pmap_mapdev() assumes a static devmap size of 2MB, when really it has grown to 16MB to accommodate large things like framebuffers. You'll note that pmap_mapdev_attr() does not have this issue.

In my case, the mapped size of the framebuffer (1920x1080 bytes) is slightly smaller than 2MB, meaning it won't trigger the KASSERT if it is the first thing added to the early devmap. The addition of GDB means the uart gets an entry in the static as well, pushing the framebuffer va just below that assertion threshold. Of course, removing the HDMI means the framebuffer isn't mapped, so the issue isn't triggered without it.
Comment 6 Emmanuel Vadot freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-01-13 18:52:50 UTC
Patch works for me on pine64 with HDMI connected too.
Thanks as I probably was the one who forgot to change this when I bumped the early mapping size for efifb.

The patch worked fine on the 8 GiByte RPi4B: booted like normal and the
monitor is displaying the console like it should.

Details for the test:

This should be fixed by the following commit. Unfortunately, I incorrectly tagged the PR number. Thanks everyone for your reports and testing.

    arm64: fix early devmap assertion

    The purpose of this KASSERT is to ensure that we do not run out of space
    in the early devmap. However, the devmap grew beyond its initial size of
    2MB in r336519, and this assertion did not grow with it.

    A devmap mapping of a 1080p framebuffer requires 1920x1080 bytes, or
    1.977 MB, so it is just barely able to fit without triggering the
    assertion, provided no other devices are mapped before it. With the
    addition of `options GDB` in GENERIC by bbfa199cbc16, the uart is now
    mapped for the purposes of a debug port, before mapping the framebuffer.
    The presence of both these conditions pushes the selected virtual
    address just below the threshold, triggering the assertion.

    To fix this, use the correct size of the devmap, defined by
    PMAP_MAPDEV_EARLY_SIZE. Since this code is shared with RISC-V, define
    it for that platform as well (although it is a different size).

@mhorne, thanks for the quick bugfix!
