Checking that again, it's the buffer allocated by dfu via malloc that
doesn't work and it has nothing to do with ext4.

Tom,

The recent set of patches pushed to u-boot/master cause DFU failures on both
Jetson TK1 and Jetson TX1 (i.e. all platforms where I run the DFU test) with
the following in the log:

host:
dfu-util -a 0 -U 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/u-boot-denx_uboot-master-test-py/U_BOOT_BOARD/jetson-tk1/build/u-boot/jetson-tk1/dfu_readback.bin

target:
** Reading file would overwrite reserved memory **
dfu: Read error!
dfu_read: Failed to fill buffer

I noticed some lmb fixes in the list, so I guess it's due to that.


So.. intentional!  Adding in Simon here, but I think the short answer is
that you need to change where you're saying the file goes in memory.
FWIW I run the DFU test on my dra7xx_evm and it's passing.


You applied a change which intentionally broke functionality??? That sounds
pretty bad...


So, yes.  A design decision / feature of "don't check where we're
loading payloads to" is also a security vulnerability to bypass secure
boot.  So we now have changes in that make a good attempt at keeping us
from loading a payload that can in turn overwrite ourself.  And I merged
it super early in the merge window to try and catch the unintended
consequences.


Looking at the precise test that failed, we don't actually specify where the
data goes in memory; it's written to the filesystem and all memmory
locations are internally allocated by U-Boot. So when you say "you need to
change where you're saying the file goes in memory", do you mean via the DFU
altinfo variable (which does not specify a memory location in this case, so
I can't), or by modifying some board-/SoC-specific config file or code to
specify where DFU buffers data (in which case, I'd argue that a
backwards-compatible default should have been put in place to prevent
breaking functionality)?

The DFU altinfo values that are tested on both boards are:

Fails:

Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin ext4 1 1;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",


 "test_sizes": (
 64 - 1,
 64,
 64 + 1,
 4096 - 1,
 ),
 },


All pass:

Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin part 1 3;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",


 "test_sizes": (
 128 - 1,
 128,
 128 + 1,
 4096,
 ),


Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin raw 4196352 18432;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",


 "test_sizes": (
 960 - 1,
 960,
 960 + 1,
 4096 + 1,
 ),


Device ram
"alt_info": "alt0 ram 8000 0100;alt1 ram 8100 0100",


 "test_sizes": (
 1024 * 1024 - 1,
 1024 * 1024,
 8 * 1024 * 1024,
 ),


So that's interesting.  How big is dfu_test.bin?  Checking my config, I
don't have SD card only RAM.  If you do RAM only tests does it pass (as
that might narrow down where maybe something is wrong) ?


Yes, that RAM-only test passes. The tests are run in the order listed above.

test_dfu.py iterates over a bunch of different file sizes; I listed them
below the DFU configs above.


OK, I have absolutely no experience with DFU, so please be patient with me
when interpreting this wrong...

Is it correct that the files above differ in that the one failing is
read via the ext4 fs


Yes.

Note that not all reads via ext4 fail, just in the case where *both* of 
the two DFU-accessible storage regions are on ext4.



driver? In that case, I guess it might be the ext4 fs driver trying to
load something into a buffer on the stack?


I don't know the ext4 code well enough, but in general yes it might be 
using stack rather than malloc/similar buffers.



Could you try the attached patch where I added more debugging output? Maybe
I can read something from its output.

OK, I have absolutely no experience with DFU, so please be patient with me
when interpreting this wrong...

Is it correct that the files above differ in that the one failing is
read via the ext4 fs
driver? In that case, I guess it might be the ext4 fs driver trying to
load something
into a buffer on the stack?

Could you try the attached patch where I added more debugging output? Maybe
I can read something from its output.

 The recent set of patches pushed to u-boot/master cause DFU failures on

 the following in the log:

Yes, that RAM-only test passes. The tests are run in the order listed above.

test_dfu.py iterates over a bunch of different file sizes; I listed them
below the DFU configs above.

So, yes.  A design decision / feature of "don't check where we're
loading payloads to" is also a security vulnerability to bypass secure
boot.  So we now have changes in that make a good attempt at keeping us
from loading a payload that can in turn overwrite ourself.  And I merged
it super early in the merge window to try and catch the unintended
consequences.

So that's interesting.  How big is dfu_test.bin?  Checking my config, I
don't have SD card only RAM.  If you do RAM only tests does it pass (as
that might narrow down where maybe something is wrong) ?

Tom,

So.. intentional!  Adding in Simon here, but I think the short answer is
that you need to change where you're saying the file goes in memory.
FWIW I run the DFU test on my dra7xx_evm and it's passing.


You applied a change which intentionally broke functionality??? That 
sounds pretty bad...


Looking at the precise test that failed, we don't actually specify where 
the data goes in memory; it's written to the filesystem and all memmory 
locations are internally allocated by U-Boot. So when you say "you need 
to change where you're saying the file goes in memory", do you mean via 
the DFU altinfo variable (which does not specify a memory location in 
this case, so I can't), or by modifying some board-/SoC-specific config 
file or code to specify where DFU buffers data (in which case, I'd argue 
that a backwards-compatible default should have been put in place to 
prevent breaking functionality)?


The DFU altinfo values that are tested on both boards are:

Fails:

Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin ext4 1 1;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",

All pass:

Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin part 1 3;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",

Device mmc 1 (which is an SD card):
"alt_info": "/dfu_test.bin raw 4196352 18432;/dfu_dummy.bin ext4 1 1",

Device ram
"alt_info": "alt0 ram 8000 0100;alt1 ram 8100 0100",

[U-Boot] Test failures in u-boot/master on NVIDIA HW with recent push

2019-01-17 Thread Stephen Warren

Tom,

The recent set of patches pushed to u-boot/master cause DFU failures on 
both Jetson TK1 and Jetson TX1 (i.e. all platforms where I run the DFU 
test) with the following in the log:


host:
dfu-util -a 0 -U 
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/u-boot-denx_uboot-master-test-py/U_BOOT_BOARD/jetson-tk1/build/u-boot/jetson-tk1/dfu_readback.bin 
-p 3-2.3


target:
** Reading file would overwrite reserved memory **
dfu: Read error!
dfu_read: Failed to fill buffer
Tegra124 (Jetson TK1) #

I noticed some lmb fixes in the list, so I guess it's due to that.
