[PATCH v2] target/arm: model Cortex-M0+ privilege extension
Posted by Gilles Grimaud 5 days, 21 hours ago
The Armv6-M Unprivileged/Privileged Extension is optional. Cortex-M0 does
not implement it, while Cortex-M0+ may implement it. The RP2040 Cortex-M0+
configuration provides the extension.

Add an ARM feature bit that represents the optional privileged/unprivileged
extension. Make ARM_FEATURE_M_MAIN imply ARM_FEATURE_M_UNPRIV (handled in
arm_cpu_propagate_feature_implications) so that privileged writes to
CONTROL.nPRIV are allowed when the Main Extension is present (or when the
optional privilege extension is present without the Main Extension).

Update the microbit Cortex-M0 test to verify that writes to nPRIV are
ignored.

Changes in v2:
- Removed the Cortex-M0+ CPU type definition from this generic patch; it will
  be added separately in the upcoming RP2040/Pico series.
- Added the implication ARM_FEATURE_M_MAIN -> ARM_FEATURE_M_UNPRIV in
  arm_cpu_propagate_feature_implications().
- Changed the CONTROL.nPRIV write condition in m_helper.c to test only
  ARM_FEATURE_M_UNPRIV (Main Extension CPUs acquire it via the implication,
  while an Armv6-M CPU without Main Extension can expose the feature
  independently).
