RISC-V: Hypervisor extension - Incorrect handling of mip
register
Host environment

- QEMU command line:
./qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic \ -machine virt \ -cpu rv64,g=on,c=on,h=on\ -m 512M \ -bios none \ -kernel "build/qemu/rvh_test.bin"
Emulated/Virtualized environment

- Architecture: RISC-V (riscv64-softmmu)
Description of problem
I am executing tests for the riscv hypervisor extension from https://github.com/josecm/riscv-hyp-tests
.
In particular, test mip
(2) in the check_xip_regs
category fails.
Following is the analysis of what the test is checking, what the test expects and what QEMU does.
What the test checks The test checks the value of the hvip register that a hypervisor can write to indicate virtual interrupts intended for VS-mode. For this, the test sets all bits in the hvip register to mark all possible interrupts that can be intended for VS mode. Finally, the test reads the mip register.
What the test expects The test expects that bits VSEIP (bit 10), VSTIP (bits 6) and VSSIP (bits 2) in mip are the only ones set.
What qemu does Qemu also sets bit 13.
Comments Following the specification, bit 13 should not be set.
Steps to reproduce
Assuming a riscv64-unknown-elf-
cross compiler is installed in the machine:
git clone https://github.com/josecm/riscv-hyp-tests.git
cd riscv-hyp-tests
LOG_LEVEL=LOG_VERBOSE PLAT=qemu make
- Execute the previous command line.
