[PATCH v5 1/7] trans_rvv.c.inc: mark_vs_dirty() before loads and stores
Posted by Daniel Henrique Barboza 9 months, 1 week ago
While discussing a problem with how we're (not) setting vstart_eq_zero
Richard had the following to say w.r.t the conditional mark_vs_dirty()
calls on load/store functions [1]:

"I think it's required to have stores set dirty unconditionally, before
the operation.

Consider a store that traps on the 2nd element, leaving vstart = 2, and
exiting to the main loop via exception. The exception enters the kernel
page fault handler. The kernel may need to fault in the page for the
process, and in the meantime task switch.

If vs dirty is not already set, the kernel won't know to save vector
state on task switch."

Do a mark_vs_dirty() before both loads and stores.
