Subject: [PATCH 0/2] RISC-V: Test th.mxstatus.MAEE bit before enabling MAEE
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 11:31:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240327103130.3651950-1-christoph.muellner@vrull.eu> (raw)
Currently, the Linux kernel suffers from a boot regression when running
on the c906 QEMU emulation. Details have been reported here by Björn Töpel:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-01/msg04766.html
The main issue is, that Linux enables MAEE for CPUs that have a T-Head
mvendorid but QEMU maintainers don't want to emulate a CPU that uses
reserved bits in PTEs. See also the following discussion for more
context:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-02/msg00775.html
This series renames "T-Head PBMT" to "MAEE" and only enables it if
the th.mxstatus.MAEE bit is set.
Since th.mxstatus is only accessible in M-mode, this patch depends on
the following OpenSBI series:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/opensbi/2024-March/006718.html
The th.mxstatus CSR is documented here:
https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/pull/45
The QEMU patch to emulate th.mxstatus with MAEE not set is here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-03/msg06368.html
After applying all referenced patchsets, this patchset allows to
successfully boot a C906 QEMU system emulation ("-cpu thead-c906").
