[PATCH 0/6] target/riscv: Add support for Control Transfer Records Ext.
Posted by Rajnesh Kanwal 5 months, 4 weeks ago
This series enables Control Transfer Records extension support on riscv
platform. This extension is similar to Arch LBR in x86 and BRBE in ARM.
The Extension has been stable and the latest release can be found here [0] 

CTR extension depends on couple of other extensions:

1. S[m|s]csrind : The indirect CSR extension [1] which defines additional
   ([M|S|VS]IREG2-[M|S|VS]IREG6) register to address size limitation of
   RISC-V CSR address space. CTR access ctrsource, ctrtartget and ctrdata
   CSRs using sscsrind extension.

2. Smstateen: The mstateen bit[54] controls the access to the CTR ext to
   S-mode.

3. Sscofpmf: Counter overflow and privilege mode filtering. [2] 

The series is based on Smcdeleg/Ssccfg counter delegation extension [3]
patches. CTR itself doesn't depend on counter delegation support. This
rebase is basically to include the Smcsrind patches.

Due to the dependency of these extensions, the following extensions must be
enabled to use the control transfer records feature.

"smstateen=true,sscofpmf=true,smcsrind=true,sscsrind=true,smctr=true,ssctr=true" 

Here is the link to a quick guide [5] to setup and run a basic perf demo on
Linux to use CTR Ext.

Smctr depends on the Smcsrind extension, Ssctr depends on the Sscsrind 
extension, and both Smctr and Ssctr depend upon implementation of S-mode.
There should be a dependency check in riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions().

Posted by Jason Chien 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Thank you for pointing that out. CTR does not use miselect and mireg*. 
There is no dependency on Smcsrind. I believe the spec needs to be 
corrected.

Chapter 1 states that:
Smctr depends on the Smcsrind extension, while Ssctr depends on the 
Sscsrind extension. Further, both Smctr and Ssctr depend upon 
implementation of S-mode.

Ah, good catch.  We removed that dependency late.  I'll fix it.
