Public bug reported:

I have a problem when reading back VECTADDR in my proprietary OS's
interrupt handler.

Example client code:

 1) Write INTENCLEAR to clear all interrupt enable bits
 2) Set all 16 vector control registers to zero
 3) Set vector address #2 to value 2
 4) Set vector control #2 to 0x21 (vector_interrupt_enable(0x20) | vector_interrupt_source(0x1) )
 5) Enable interrupt 1 by writing 0x2 to INTENABLE
 6) In interrupt handler: read VECTADDR [should read 0x2 (active IRQs vector address as set in step 3), reads 0x0 (active vector address index 3 instead of index 2)]

Problem:

So, for me, the block commented with /* Read vector address at the start
of an ISR...  */ in hw/pl190.c has an off by-one error and does not
return the vector address of the pending interrupt, but of the next one
in the list of priorities (i.e. vector address 3).

Solution:

In pl190_update_vectors(), also set the priority bit for the current
priority (1<<i) interrupt (if enabled) in s->prio_mask[i] in addition to
those of higher priority enabled interrupts. This will cause the loop in
the read handling of VECTADDR to terminate an iteration earlier and will
deliver the correct interrupt priority as iteration variable i
subsequently used for addressing.

I'll try to provide a patch for this.
