From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

Currently, most 64-bit architectures (x86, parisc, powerpc, arm64,
s390, mips, sparc) have supported COMPAT mode. But they all have
history issues and can't use standard linux unistd.h. RISC-V would
be first standard __SYSCALL_COMPAT user of include/uapi/asm-generic
/unistd.h.

The patchset are based on v5.17-rc2, you can compare rv64-compat32
v.s. rv32-whole in qemu with following step:

 - Prepare rv32 rootfs & fw_jump.bin by buildroot.org
   $ git clone git://git.busybox.net/buildroot
   $ cd buildroot
   $ make qemu_riscv32_virt_defconfig O=qemu_riscv32_virt_defconfig
   $ make -C qemu_riscv32_virt_defconfig
   $ make qemu_riscv64_virt_defconfig O=qemu_riscv64_virt_defconfig
   $ make -C qemu_riscv64_virt_defconfig
   (Got fw_jump.bin & rootfs.ext2 in qemu_riscvXX_virt_defconfig/images)

 - Prepare Linux rv32 & rv64 Image
   $ git clone git@github.com:c-sky/csky-linux.git -b riscv_compat_v5 linux
   $ cd linux
   $ echo "CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=n" >> arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
   $ echo "CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n" >> arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
   $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-buildroot-linux-gnu- O=../build-rv32/ rv32_defconfig
   $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv32-buildroot-linux-gnu- O=../build-rv32/ Image
   $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-buildroot-linux-gnu- O=../build-rv64/ defconfig
   $ make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-buildroot-linux-gnu- O=../build-rv64/ Image

 - Prepare Qemu: (made by LIU Zhiwei <zhiwei_liu@c-sky.com>)
   $ git clone git@github.com:alistair23/qemu.git -b riscv-to-apply.for-upstream linux
   $ cd qemu
   $ ./configure --target-list="riscv64-softmmu riscv32-softmmu"
   $ make

Now let's compare rv32-compat with rv32-native memory footprint. Kernel with rv32 = rv64
defconfig, rootfs, opensbi, Qemu are the same.

 - Run rv64 with rv32 rootfs in compat mode:
   $ ./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -cpu rv64,x-h=true -M virt -m 64m -nographic -bios qemu_riscv64_virt_defconfig/images/fw_jump.bin -kernel build-rv64/Image -drive file qemu_riscv32_virt_defconfig/images/rootfs.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 -append "rootwait root=/dev/vda ro console=ttyS0 earlycon=sbi" -netdev user,id=net0 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0

 Some conclusions:
 - kernel statics:
   64: Memory: 52788K/63488K available (6184K kernel code, 888K rwdata, 1917K rodata, 294K init, 297K bss, 10700K reserved)
   32: Memory: 51924K/61440K available (6117K kernel code, 695K rwdata, 1594K rodata, 255K init, 241K bss,  9516K reserved)
   rv32 better than rv64:                  1%               22%           17%          13%        19%         11%
   The code size is very similar, but data size rv32 would be better.

 - rv32 kernel runtime KernelStack, Slab... are smaller,
   rv64: MemTotal: 53076 kB,        MemFree: 40264 kB
   rv32: MemTotal: 52176 + 2048 kB, MemFree: 41012  + 2048 kB
   rv32 better than rv64:       2%                         6%

   (Because opensbi problem, we could add another 2MB for rv32.)
   Overall in 64MB memory situation, rv64-compat is 6% worse than rv32-full
   at memory footprint. If the user space memory usage increases, I think
   the gap will be further reduced.

TBH, I'd always sort of hoped we wouldn't have to do this: it's a lot of 
ABI surface to keep around for a use case I'm not really sure is ever 
going to get any traction (it's not like we have legacy 32-bit 
userspaces floating around, the 32-bit userspace is newer than the 
64-bit userspace).  My assumption is that users who actually wanted the 
memory savings (likely a very small number) would be better served with 
rv64/ilp32, as that'll allow the larger registers that the hardware 
supports.  From some earlier discussions it looks like rv64/ilp32 isn't 
going to be allowed, though, so this seems like the only way to go.

I've left some minor comments, and I saw some unresolved ones as well.  
I'm going to assume there'll be a v6, but LMK if you want me to deal 
with cleaning things up.

I'm OK targeting this for 5.18, assuming the cleanups can be resolved in 
the next week or two: generally with a lot of ABI surface I'd prefer to 
let things sit on for-next for a whole cycle, but I don't think it's a 
stretch to say that the actual ABI here is the rv32 port and that 
rv64/COMPAT=y is just our best attempt at matching it.

It's probably worth running at least the glibc test suite, just to see 
if there's anything obvious that's failing.

The low-end embedded market isn't usually that newsworthy, but the
machines ship in huge quantities, and they all run 32-bit user
space for good reasons:

The cheapest Linux systems at the moment use a low-end MIPS or
Arm core with a single DDR2 (32MB to 128MB) or DDR3 (128MB
to 512MB) memory chip that for now is a bit cheaper than a larger
LP-DDR4 (256MB+). The smaller configurations will go away over
time as they get outpriced by systems with LP-DDR4, but a 32-bit
system with 256MB will keep beating a 64-bit-only system with
512MB on price, and will run most workloads better than a 64-bit
system with the same amount of RAM.

On the Arm side, I hope that these systems will migrate to Armv8
based designs (Cortex-A53/A35 or newer) running 64-bit kernel
with 32-bit user space to replace the currently dominant but aging
32-bit Cortex-A7 cores. As you say, RISC-V is at a disadvantage
here because there is no existing 32-bit ecosystem, but it may take
a chunk of that market anyway based on licensing cost. Between
doing this using pure 32-bit cores or on mixed 32/64-bit cores,
I found Guo Ren's explanation very sensible, it lets you use the
same chip both as a low-end embedded version with SiP
memory, or using an external DDR3/LPDDR4 chip with enough
capacity to run a generic 64-bit distro.

Right, between rv32 user space and a hypothetical rv64-ilp32 target,
I think it's clear that the former is better because it means introducing
only one fringe ABI rather than two incompatible ones with minor
performance differences.
