* target/arm: Implement FEAT_DoubleFaultPeter Maydell2022-06-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FEAT_DoubleFault extension adds the following: * All external aborts on instruction fetches and translation table walks for instruction fetches must be synchronous. For QEMU this is already true. * SCR_EL3 has a new bit NMEA which disables the masking of SError interrupts by PSTATE.A when the SError interrupt is taken to EL3. For QEMU we only need to make the bit writable, because we have no sources of SError interrupts. * SCR_EL3 has a new bit EASE which causes synchronous external aborts taken to EL3 to be taken at the same entry point as SError. (Note that this does not mean that they are SErrors for purposes of PSTATE.A masking or that the syndrome register reports them as SErrors: it just means that the vector offset is different.) * The existing SCTLR_EL3.IESB has an effective value of 1 when SCR_EL3.NMEA is 1. For QEMU this is a no-op because we don't need different behaviour based on IESB (we don't need to do anything to ensure that error exceptions are synchronized). So for QEMU the things we need to change are: * Make SCR_EL3.{NMEA,EASE} writable * When taking a synchronous external abort at EL3, adjust the vector entry point if SCR_EL3.EASE is set * Advertise the feature in the ID registers Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org> Message-id: 20220531151431.949322-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org
* target/arm: Declare support for FEAT_RASv1p1Peter Maydell2022-06-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The architectural feature RASv1p1 introduces the following new features: * new registers ERXPFGCDN_EL1, ERXPFGCTL_EL1 and ERXPFGF_EL1 * new bits in the fine-grained trap registers that control traps for these new registers * new trap bits HCR_EL2.FIEN and SCR_EL3.FIEN that control traps for ERXPFGCDN_EL1, ERXPFGCTL_EL1, ERXPFGP_EL1 * a larger number of the ERXMISC<n>_EL1 registers * the format of ERR<n>STATUS registers changes The architecture permits that if ERRIDR_EL1.NUM is 0 (as it is for QEMU) then all these new registers may UNDEF, and the HCR_EL2.FIEN and SCR_EL3.FIEN bits may be RES0. We don't have any ERR<n>STATUS registers (again, because ERRIDR_EL1.NUM is 0). QEMU does not yet implement the fine-grained-trap extension. So there is nothing we need to implement to be compliant with the feature spec. Make the 'max' CPU report the feature in its ID registers, and document it.

* target/arm: Implement FEAT_IDSTPeter Maydell2022-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Armv8.4 feature FEAT_IDST specifies that exceptions generated by read accesses to the feature ID space should report a syndrome code of 0x18 (EC_SYSTEMREGISTERTRAP) rather than 0x00 (EC_UNCATEGORIZED). The feature ID space is defined to be: op0 == 3, op1 == {0,1,3}, CRn == 0, CRm == {0-7}, op2 == {0-7} In our implementation we might return the EC_UNCATEGORIZED syndrome value for a system register access in four cases: * no reginfo struct in the hashtable * cp_access_ok() fails (ie ri->access doesn't permit the access) * ri->accessfn returns CP_ACCESS_TRAP_UNCATEGORIZED at runtime * ri->type includes ARM_CP_RAISES_EXC, and the readfn raises an UNDEF exception at runtime We have very few regdefs that set ARM_CP_RAISES_EXC, and none of them are in the feature ID space. (In the unlikely event that any are added in future they would need to take care of setting the correct syndrome themselves.) This patch deals with the other three cases, and enables FEAT_IDST for AArch64 -cpu max.

* target/arm: Advertise support for FEAT_BBM level 2Peter Maydell2022-04-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The description in the Arm ARM of the requirements of FEAT_BBM is admirably clear on the guarantees it provides software, but slightly more obscure on what that means for implementations. The description of the equivalent SMMU feature in the SMMU specification (IHI0070D.b section 3.21.1) is perhaps a bit more detailed and includes some example valid implementation choices. (The SMMU version of this feature is slightly tighter than the CPU version: the CPU is permitted to raise TLB Conflict aborts in some situations that the SMMU may not. This doesn't matter for QEMU because we don't want to do TLB Conflict aborts anyway.) The informal summary of FEAT_BBM is that it is about permitting an OS to switch a range of memory between "covered by a huge page" and "covered by a sequence of normal pages" without having to engage in the 'break-before-make' dance that has traditionally been necessary. The 'break-before-make' sequence is: * replace the old translation table entry with an invalid entry * execute a DSB insn * execute a broadcast TLB invalidate insn * execute a DSB insn * write the new translation table entry * execute a DSB insn The point of this is to ensure that no TLB can simultaneously contain TLB entries for the old and the new entry, which would traditionally be UNPREDICTABLE (allowing the CPU to generate a TLB Conflict fault or to use a random mishmash of values from the old and the new entry). FEAT_BBM level 2 says "for the specific case where the only thing that changed is the size of the block, the TLB is guaranteed not to do weird things even if there are multiple entries for an address", which means that software can now do: * replace old translation table entry with new entry * DSB * broadcast TLB invalidate * DSB As the SMMU spec notes, valid ways to do this include: * if there are multiple entries in the TLB for an address, choose one of them and use it, ignoring the others * if there are multiple entries in the TLB for an address, throw them all out and do a page table walk to get a new one QEMU's page table walk implementation for Arm CPUs already meets the requirements for FEAT_BBM level 2. When we cache an entry in our TCG TLB, we do so only for the specific (non-huge) page that the address is in, and there is no way for the TLB data structure to ever have more than one TLB entry for that page. (We handle huge pages only in that we track what part of the address space is covered by huge pages so that a TLB invalidate operation for an address in a huge page results in an invalidation of the whole TLB.) We ignore the Contiguous bit in page table entries, so we don't have to do anything for the parts of FEAT_BBM that deal with changis to the Contiguous bit. FEAT_BBM level 2 also requires that the nT bit in block descriptors must be ignored; since commit 39a1fd25287f5dece5 we do this. It's therefore safe for QEMU to advertise FEAT_BBM level 2 by setting ID_AA64MMFR2_EL1.BBM to 2.

* target/arm: Advertise support for FEAT_TTLPeter Maydell2022-04-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Arm FEAT_TTL architectural feature allows the guest to provide an optional hint in an AArch64 TLB invalidate operation about which translation table level holds the leaf entry for the address being invalidated. QEMU's TLB implementation doesn't need that hint, and we correctly ignore the (previously RES0) bits in TLB invalidate operation values that are now used for the TTL field. So we can simply advertise support for it in our 'max' CPU.

* target/arm: Implement FEAT_LPA2Richard Henderson2022-03-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature widens physical addresses (and intermediate physical addresses for 2-stage translation) from 48 to 52 bits, when using 4k or 16k pages. This introduces the DS bit to TCR_ELx, which is RES0 unless the page size is enabled and supports LPA2, resulting in the effective value of DS for a given table walk. The DS bit changes the format of the page table descriptor slightly, moving the PS field out to TCR so that all pages have the same sharability and repurposing those bits of the page table descriptor for the highest bits of the output address. Do not yet enable FEAT_LPA2; we need extra plumbing to avoid tickling an old kernel bug.
