The NoMMU kernel is broken for QEMU virt machine from Linux-5.9-rc6 because clint_time_val is used even before CLINT driver is probed at following places: 1. rand_initialize() calls get_cycles() which in-turn uses clint_time_val 2. boot_init_stack_canary() calls get_cycles() which in-turn uses clint_time_val
The issue#1 (above) is fixed by providing custom random_get_entropy() for RISC-V NoMMU kernel. For issue#2 (above), we remove dependency of boot_init_stack_canary() on get_cycles() and this is aligned with the boot_init_stack_canary() implementations of ARM, ARM64 and MIPS kernel.

Changes since v1: - Explicitly initialize clint_time_val to NULL in CLINT driver to avoid hang on Kendryte K210 --- arch/riscv/include/asm/stackprotector.h | 4 ---- arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/riscv/include/asm/stackprotector.h b/arch/riscv/include/asm/stackprotector.h index d95f7b2a7f37..5962f8891f06 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/include/asm/stackprotector.h +++ b/arch/riscv/include/asm/stackprotector.h @@ -5,7 +5,6 @@ #include <linux/random.h> #include <linux/version.h> -#include <asm/timex.h> extern unsigned long __stack_chk_guard; @@ -18,12 +17,9 @@ extern unsigned long __stack_chk_guard; static __always_inline void boot_init_stack_canary(void) { unsigned long canary; - unsigned long tsc; /* Try to get a semi random initial value. */ get_random_bytes(&canary, sizeof(canary)); - tsc = get_cycles(); - canary += tsc + (tsc << BITS_PER_LONG/2); canary ^= LINUX_VERSION_CODE; canary &= CANARY_MASK; diff --git a/arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h b/arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h index 7f659dda0032..ab104905d4db 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h +++ b/arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h @@ -33,6 +33,19 @@ static inline u32 get_cycles_hi(void) #define get_cycles_hi get_cycles_hi #endif /* CONFIG_64BIT */ +/* + * Much like MIPS, we may not have a viable counter to use at an early point + * in the boot process.
