patch_timeouts v2: counted-loop trampolines instead of NOPs
v1 NOP approach was WRONG — removed the poll entirely, proceeding with stale/incomplete register values. ZQ cal, DFI handshake, and PHY mailbox all require actual polling until the hardware responds. v2 uses trampoline functions appended to the binary: - Each poll site jumps to a trampoline that retries with a W16 counter - 16384 iterations (~91us at 1.8GHz) before timeout - On timeout, returns with condition NOT met (hits existing error path) - On success, returns normally (original behavior preserved) - W16 (IP0) used as counter — caller-saved, not used by poll loop bodies 35 poll loops patched, 13 non-poll backward branches left intact.

"""RK3588 DDR Blob Patcher v2 — converts infinite poll loops to counted loops.
|
||||
|
||||
v1 (WRONG): NOP'd the backward branch, removing the poll entirely.
|
||||
v2 (CORRECT): Replaces infinite polls with bounded retry loops.
|
||||
|
||||
Strategy: Each tight poll loop (LDR + optional test + B.cond back) is
|
||||
patched to jump to a trampoline in unused space at the end of the binary.
|
||||
The trampoline counts iterations and returns to the instruction after the
|
||||
original branch when either:
|
||||
- The poll condition is satisfied (normal path), OR
|
||||
- The retry count expires (timeout path — returns with condition NOT met,
|
||||
letting the existing error handling deal with it)
|
||||
|
||||
Trampoline structure (per patch site, 6 instructions = 24 bytes):
|
||||
; entered from original B.cond site via unconditional B
|
||||
MOV W16, #0x4000 ; ~16384 iterations ≈ ~100us at 1.8GHz
|
||||
.retry:
|
||||
LDR Wn, [Xbase, #off] ; re-execute the original load
|
||||
<test> ; re-execute the original test (if any)
|
||||
B.cond .done ; original condition met? exit loop
|
||||
SUBS W16, W16, #1 ; decrement counter
|
||||
B.NE .retry ; keep trying if counter > 0
|
||||
.done:
|
||||
B return_addr ; jump back after original branch site
|
||||
|
||||
W16 (IP0) is used as the counter — it's a scratch register in the AAPCS64
|
||||
calling convention and not used by any of the poll loop bodies (which use
|
||||
W0-W4 for register reads and X8-X12 for base addresses).
