[Bug 2026588] Re: [SRU] Copy OpenSBI 1.3 to Jammy and Lunar

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Heinrich, or anyone else affected,

Accepted u-boot into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/u-boot/2022.01+dfsg-2ubuntu2.4 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  We provide an image for the StarFive VisionFive 2 board. Upstream
  U-Boot now provides support for the board but it requires OpenSBI 1.3.
  We should strive to put a current U-Boot onto our preinstalled image.

  [ Test plan ]

  * Rebuild current u-boot package in ppa against new OpenSBI and test running Ubuntu 22.04/23.04 on QEMU, SiFive HiFive Unmatched, and PolarFire Icicle Kit with this U-Boot.
  * Use a rebuilt u-boot-nezha package to boot the Nezha D1.
  * Run apt-get update, apt-get install, and execute an application.
  * Run snap install and execute an application.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  OpenSBI is only used directly when running a RISC-V emulation in QEMU
  with the bios parameter.

  For all real hardware OpenSBI is built into U-Boot SPL. So getting
  OpenSBI onto boards will require a rebuild of U-Boot.

  Theoretically upgrading OpenSBI could

  * stop RISC-V boards from booting
  * cause failures when the operating system calls into OpenSBI
  * cause failures when OpenSBI emulates missing instructions.

  [ Other Info ]

  Upgrading to the same OpenSBI 1.3 that we use in Mantic instead of
  applying selected patches to 22.04/23.04 is easier to maintain in the
  long run.
