So there's two things going on here. First is that on arm64 we should
*NEVER* copy the
kernel. It loads at a specific address and we jump to where it loaded in
RAM (in your case,
I think it should be stage_offset + (ehdr->e_entry - KERNBASE). Kernbase is
0xffff000000000000
so we should jump to 0x10000brre0000 + 0x20000 (or maybe 0x800 is you
suggest). The kernel
code that's there should do some tricks to find out where it was loaded,
turn on the MMU and
then jump to the VA to continue starting up the kernel. The arm64 kernel is
linked with a VA. Old amd64
kernels expected to start at a fixed physical address, but the UEFI spec
allows memory to be mapped anywhere
which means it was recently switched to create a page table in the boot
loader, then jump to the right
VA, and use the page table to find what PA that is and use that to
bootstrap the pmap. This works great on
amd64, but sometimes goes astray on arm64 (though the way it does for you
doesn't make sense
to me). The amd64 code used to start at a PA, and that's what the 'copy'
routine is supposed to do:
copy the kernel down that fixed address and jump to it. I don't think we'll
ever want that on arm64, though,
and that might also be getting in your way (thought I'm doing this from
memory w/o careful study of
the code because it's fresh in my mind due to getting arm64 working with
linuxboot).
Also, vmap *MUST* be called in the boot loader. The trouble is, it assumes
VA =3D=3D PA, but that's not
strictly true. If you boot via LinuxBoot, for example, it has a memory
mapping that's not VA =3D=3D PA so
at least some parts of the kernel fail their VA =3D=3D PA asserts. the vmap
code in the loader currently
blindly assumes VA =3D=3D PA, but it should, IMHO, only do that if the VA f=
rom
entry from the table from
the get memory map call is 0. Today it blindly overwrites it. You might try
changing that, and removing
the bit in the kernel that checks for VA =3D=3D PA and bails out if there's=
a
mismatch. Here's the patch I'm
temporarily using until I have the time to do more than a quick,
superficial analysis of the issue:
diff --git a/sys/arm64/arm64/efirt_machdep.c

clearly, not suitable for upstreaming, eh? And I have about 2 dozen commits
in my queue ahead of that
one that need refinement, review and upstreaming before I jump into this
issue. It will be after the first
of the year at least before I'll look at it since I just started my
year-end vacation...
