I'm running a kernel 4.19.57 wit= h a custom firmware based on bbl (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk). = An ioctl device from a kernel module is used to execute the code above in k= ernel space. In the example, the userspace application proceeds after a couple of second= s without receiving the custom IPI. ** Attachment added: "example.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1850378/+attachment/5301219/+files/= example.tar.gz -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850378 Title: RISC-V unreliable IPIs Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I am working on a project with custom inter processor interrupts (IPIs) o= n the RISC-V virt machine. After upgrading from version 3.1.0 to 4.1.0 which fixes a related issue (= https://github.com/riscv/riscv-qemu/issues/132) I am able to use the CPU ho= tplug feature. However, if I try to use IPIs for communication between two cores, the wfi instruction behaves strangely. Either it does not return, or it returns on timer interrupts, even though they are disabled. The code, I use on one core to wait for an interrupt is the following. csr_clear(sie, SIE_SEIE | SIE_STIE); do { wait_for_interrupt(); sipval =3D csr_read(sip); sieval =3D csr_read(sie); scauseval =3D csr_read(scause) & 0xFF; /* only break if wfi returns for an software interrupt */ } while ((sipval & sieval) =3D=3D 0 && scauseval !=3D 1); csr_set(sie, SIE_SEIE | SIE_STIE); Since the resulting sequence does not seem to be deterministic, my guess is, that it has something to do with the communication of qemu's threads for the different cores.
