Hi,
This series adds canonical/bare bones RISC-V CPUs in QEMU. The idea is
to allow users to create a CPU from scratch without having to deal/disable
existing defaults.
A bare-bones CPU will avoid scenarios like the one described here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-riscv/258be47f-97be-4308-bed5-dc34ef7ff954@Spark/
Where one has to disable a bunch of defaults from the rv32 CPU to be
able to use the desired configuration. After this series, the case from
the link above:
-cpu rv32,g=false,f=false,v=false,d=false,e=false,h=false,(... desired
setup)
Will be expressed as:
-cpu rv32i,(... desired setup)
Note that the idea isn't new. The rv64i CPU was already presented in the
rva22u64 profile series [1]. That series didn't make it for 8.2, so I'm
picking patches 1-4 (already reviewed and acked) and re-posting for this
work. In case this series is accepted first I'll rebase and re-send the
profile series.
I'm also adding RVE CPUs, rv32e and rv64e. The reason is that we can't
enable I and E at the same time, and all default CPUs has I by default,
so we would need to do something like 'r32i,i=false,e=true' to have a
base RVE 32 bit CPU.
