[PATCH 2/2] target/riscv: Support xtheadmaee for thead-c906
Posted by LIU Zhiwei 10 months ago
thead-c906 uses some flags in pte [60-63] bits. It has history reasons that
SVPBMT didn't exist when thead-c906 came to world.

We named this feature as xtheadmaee. this feature is controlled by an custom
CSR named mxstatus, whose maee field encodes whether enable the pte [60-63] bits.

The sections "5.2.2.1 Page table structure" and "15.1.7.1 M-mode extension
status register (MXSTATUS)" in document[1] give the detailed information
about its design.

This is clearly the wrong data structure for a single entry in the array.

This array should have the same size with csr_ops so that we can 
override custom CSR behavior directly. Besides, It will have other 
entries in the near future.

I see that I missed surround the th_maee_check, read_th_mxstatus, 
write_mxstatus with !CONFIG_USER_ONLY.  But I don't understand why it is 
wrong for a single entry in the array, at least the compiler think it 
has no error.

Thanks,
Zhiwei

I would prefer if we would not define an extension like XTheadMaee
without a specification.
The linked document defines the bit MAEE in a custom CSR, but the
scope of XTheadMaee
is not clearly defined (the term XTheadMaee is not even part of the PDF).

We have all the XThead* extensions well described here:
  https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/tree/master
And it would not be much effort to add XTheadMaee there as well.

For those who don't know the context of this patch, here is the c906
boot regression report from Björn:
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-01/msg04766.html

Yeah, I was gonna request exactly this, so glad to see you beat me to
