Bootloader work about xnu-bcm2837-hackintosh

[NSG650]

Hey! It works on real hardware as well!

[CE1CECL]

Hi there. I wanted to see if I could get this to work with the latest u-boot and possibly a x86_64 version of the XNU kernel. I see there is a prebuilt rpi.dtb - how did you manage to create this file?

I didn't create the file. I ripped it out from chenguokai's attempt. Chenguokai generated the dtb using this compiler and one of the jsons found here.

As for an x86_64 kernel I can't provide you one right now sadly.

I was going to work on porting the bootxnu command to the newer u boot version but then got busy with school lol.

Actually I got it to work with u-boot 2022 with some mods, if anyone cares

[NSG650]

Hey there again,

First off Happy new year!

I modified u-boot to provide XNU with a framebuffer and it works!

I am still kind of confused where to go on from here now, does one have to write a platform driver for the Pi in order to boot further? Do I need to use another dtb?

Thanks in advance

[Inokinoki]

So I tested it out on my school's Raspberry Pi 3 B as well since I own a 3 B+ and it works on it as well. I will do a write up on this soon and will publish how to get this up and running.

Thanks very much! That's really impressive and a great work!

I am also looking forward to running on my configured Raspi3 with JTAG, and to seeing what to do next. However, I didn't get much time working on it...

Looking forward to it! Maybe you can also publish it somewhere on HackerNews, I will definitely give my upvote 🎉🎉🎉

Hey there! It has been a long time but I have managed to get XNU booting with this fork of u-boot and a one line patch to chenguokai's kernel!

I will try it out on real hardware soon.

Here is the patch that was done

// in osfmk/arm64/arm_vm_init.c:2070
#if XNU_MONITOR
	for (vm_offset_t cur = (vm_offset_t)pmap_stacks_start; cur < (vm_offset_t)pmap_stacks_end; cur += ARM_PGBYTES) {
		arm_vm_map(cpu_tte, cur, ARM_PTE_EMPTY);
	}
#endif

        PE_slide_devicetree(gVirtBase - gPhysBase); // Added because the 1:1 physical mappings are gone and we don't want to continue accessing those addresses

	pmap_bootstrap(dynamic_memory_begin);

	disable_preemption();

	/*
	 * Initialize l3 page table pages :
	 *   cover this address range:
	 *    2MB + FrameBuffer size + 10MB for each 256MB segment
	 */

Finally published the blog. Theres a guide on how you can get it up and running. This was over all fun and learnt alot about ARM64 and XNU.

Oh ok, thanks. I think the swift code may work on a linux machine but it needs a fork of the unmaintained SwiftyJSON library. In terms of the x86_64 kernel, I can probably get one from a macos VM with https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM.

I'll document this later once I have something working 🚀

Edit: If I try to boot the latest u-boot for x86_64 with updated patches it seems to boot loop with the last message being Jumping to 64-bit U-boot: note many features are missing. How can I debug this (with gdb or lldb)?

Is there a reason you need the lastest U-Boot, other than the frame buffer on QEMU? I did https://github.com/CE1CECL/u-boot/tree/ce1cecl to do that

[Inokinoki]

Hi! Thanks for your amazing work! There is another hacker who succeeded in patching the kernel and qemu, and boot the kernel on qemu. Please check the details https://twitter.com/Xim24689559/status/1645435639985324032 There are some extra build steps to do, including the serial, the page table etc. Thanks again for your work on the bootloader! Best regards Inoki

Hey!

Thanks for replying. I have tried the new kernel configs and it finally uses virtual memory at last!. However it fails to jump into arm_init but rather jumps else where. Do you have any idea where it could be failing? Again sorry if I am being annoying.

    uint64_t phys_base = kernel_buffer;
    uint64_t virt_base = low_addr_temp;

    boot_arguments->Revision = kBootArgsRevision2;
    boot_arguments->Version = kBootArgsVersion2;
    boot_arguments->physBase = phys_base;
    boot_arguments->virtBase = virt_base;
    boot_arguments->memSize = size;
    boot_arguments->memSizeActual = 0;
    boot_arguments->topOfKernelData = boot_arguments->physBase + boot_arguments->memSize;

I am passing these as my arguments arguments. kernel_buffer has all the segments loaded. and low_addr_temp is calculated. variable names have changed since I cleaned up the code.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I have also looked into the qemu fork used and it would jump elsewhere instead.

[NSG650]

Hey again!

I looked in deeper and found out what went wrong.

Zhuowei has provided a QEMU implementation that can load XNU kernel(or kernalcache) Mach-O file to QEMU's RAM.
As his blog pointed out, we need to load Mach-O file to a base address that leading 1s are erased.
For example, data located at (virtual address) 0xfffffff0070059c0 should be loaded to (physical address) 0x70059c0

So after changing my code to this

uint64_t phys_base = kernel_buffer;
uint64_t virt_base = 0xfffffff000000000 + kernel_buffer;

it worked. It crashes elsewhere. I will look into that now but now it finally jumps into arm_init

Thank you again.

[NSG650]

Hello again,

I am extremely sorry if I am being annoying now. The kernel makes it to _panic_with_thread_kernel_state now but crashes at 0xfffffff0078b91eb after the end of the function.

----------------
IN: 
0xfffffff0754cb3ec:  fffffff0  .byte    0xf0, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff

There is no UART output as well. Please help me out whenever you are free.

Thanks in advance

[NSG650]

Hi yet again

I trace down the crash to _wfe_timeout_configure looking at the source code tree there is no reference to panic

However it jumps to that very function anyways. I am using the prebuilt kernel by chenguokai. I also viewed the function in ghidra and it shows a jump to panic after a specific condition

Thanks in advance

Edit: My bad its a compiler optimization which causes the 2 function calls to be merged in one. Still it fails the check.

[NSG650]

So I tested it out on my school's Raspberry Pi 3 B as well since I own a 3 B+ and it works on it as well. I will do a write up on this soon and will publish how to get this up and running.

Thanks in advance

May I ask how you were able to modify U-Boot to work with FB? Will this work on a Pi 4, or am I stuck using KVM on Pi 4 and QEMU?

No I did not use a custom qemu build I just used the arch provided qemu package. For the framebuffer I just added these lines in the code for the bootxnu command.

    struct udevice *vid_device = NULL;
    struct video_priv *vid_priv = NULL;
    int ret = uclass_first_device_err(UCLASS_VIDEO, &vid_device);
    if (ret == 0) {
        vid_priv = dev_get_uclass_priv(vid_device);
    }

    if (vid_priv) {
        boot_args->video_information.base_addr = vid_priv->fb;
        boot_args->video_information.display = 0;
        boot_args->video_information.bytes_per_row = (vid_priv->fb_size) / vid_priv->ysize;
        boot_args->video_information.width = vid_priv->xsize;
        boot_args->video_information.height = vid_priv->ysize;
        boot_args->video_information.depth = (1 << vid_priv->bpix);

        printf("## Using framebuffer %s\n", vid_priv->vidconsole_drv_name);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.base_addr: 0x%p\n",     boot_args->video_information.base_addr);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.display: %d\n",         boot_args->video_information.display);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.bytes_per_row: %d\n",     boot_args->video_information.bytes_per_row);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.width: %d\n",             boot_args->video_information.width);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.height: %d\n",         boot_args->video_information.height);
        printf("boot_args->video_information.depth: %d\n",             boot_args->video_information.depth);
    }

Hi there. I wanted to see if I could get this to work with the latest u-boot and possibly a x86_64 version of the XNU kernel. I see there is a prebuilt rpi.dtb - how did you manage to create this file?

I didn't create the file. I ripped it out from chenguokai's attempt. Chenguokai generated the dtb using this compiler and one of the jsons found here.

As for an x86_64 kernel I can't provide you one right now sadly.

I was going to work on porting the bootxnu command to the newer u boot version but then got busy with school lol.

Oh ok, thanks. I think the swift code may work on a linux machine but it needs a fork of the unmaintained SwiftyJSON library. In terms of the x86_64 kernel, I can probably get one from a macos VM with https://github.com/notAperson535/OneClick-macOS-Simple-KVM.

I'll document this later once I have something working 🚀

Edit: If I try to boot the latest u-boot for x86_64 with updated patches it seems to boot loop with the last message being Jumping to 64-bit U-boot: note many features are missing. How can I debug this (with gdb or lldb)?

Is there a reason you need the lastest U-Boot, other than the frame buffer on QEMU? I did https://github.com/CE1CECL/u-boot/tree/ce1cecl to do that

Thanks! I applied your changes via https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/compare/master...CE1CECL:u-boot:ce1cecl.patch and removing the MAINTAINERS change temporarily to resolve conflicts. I also had to modify bootxnu.c to make it work on x86_64 (removing the asm/system.h header unless CONFIG_ARM64 is defined).
