Subject: Need guidance to support reading GICR_TYPER (64 bit register) on Aarch32_v8r
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 12:47:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e2d041b2-3b38-f19b-2d8e-3a255b0ac07e@amd.com> (raw)

Hi Arm mantainers/Folks,

Please refer to the discussion 
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/51163 .

We intend to run Zephyr as a domU guest on Xen on Aarch32_v8R fixed 
virtual platform.

Zephyr is trying to read GICR_TYPER which is a 64 bit register using 
ldrd instruction.

As GICR is emulated by Xen, so this instruction gets trapped with HSR = 
0x9200000c.

As ISV is 0, so Xen cannot emulate this instruction.

The proposed solution is to use two sys_read32() on GICR_TYPER to return 
the lower and upper 32 bits.

With this, HSR = 0x9383 000c, ISV=1 so ISS is valid.

Now, for Xen to emulate this read, I have proposed the modifications (in 
my last comment).

1. Does the proposed modifications look sane ? Or could there be a 
better alternative ?

2. As there is no 32 bit variant for GICR_TYPER, so does it make sense 
to read this register at all ?

Kind regards,

Ayan
