[PATCH v10 01/21] target/riscv: expose *envcfg csr and priv to qemu-user as well
Posted by Deepak Gupta 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Execution environment config CSR controlling user env and current
privilege state shouldn't be limited to qemu-system only. *envcfg
CSRs control enabling of features in next lesser mode. In some cases
bits *envcfg CSR can be lit up by kernel as part of kernel policy or
software (user app) can choose to opt-in by issuing a system call
(e.g. prctl). In case of qemu-user, it should be no different because
qemu is providing underlying execution environment facility and thus
either should provide some default value in *envcfg CSRs or react to
system calls (prctls) initiated from application.

`henvcfg` has been left for qemu-system only because it is not expected
that someone will use qemu-user where application is expected to have
hypervisor underneath which is controlling its execution environment. If
such a need arises then `henvcfg` could be exposed as well.
