[PATCH v2 3/3] target/riscv: Relax fld alignment requirement
Posted by LIU Zhiwei 3 months, 3 weeks ago
According to the risc-v specification:
"FLD and FSD are only guaranteed to execute atomically if the effective
address is naturally aligned and XLEN≥64."

We currently implement fld as MO_ATOM_IFALIGN when XLEN < 64, which does
not violate the rules. But it will hide some problems. So relax it to
MO_ATOM_NONE.

Does this really have byte atomicity, not atomic on two aligned 32-bit loads (which would 
be MO_ATOM_IFALIGN_PAIR).

It's probably clearer to fill out the if-tree completely,
rather than explain about defaults.

     if (get_mxl(ctx) == MXL_RV32) {
         memop |= MO_ATOM_NONE;
     } else if (ctx->cfg_ptr->ext_zama16b) {
         memop |= MO_ATOM_WITHIN16;
     } else {
         memop |= MO_ATOM_IFALIGN;
     }

The specification doesn't rule it. I think we can choose either way. The 
byte atomicity may expose more problems on alignment.

OK.
