Re: [XEN v10 4/4] xen/arm64: io: Handle data abort due to cache maintenance instructions



Hi,

On 10/03/2022 17:45, Ayan Kumar Halder wrote:
When the data abort is caused due to cache maintenance for an address,
there are three scenarios:-

1. Address belonging to a non emulated region - For this, Xen should
set the corresponding bit in the translation table entry to valid and
return to the guest to retry the instruction. This can happen sometimes
as Xen need to set the translation table entry to invalid. (for eg
'Break-Before-Make' sequence). Xen returns to the guest to retry the
instruction.

2. Address belongs to an emulated region - Xen should ignore the
instruction (ie increment the PC) and return to the guest.

3. Address is invalid - Xen should forward the data abort to the guest.

Changelog:-

v1...v8 - NA

v9 - Extracted this change from "[XEN v7 2/2] xen/arm64: io: Support
instructions (for which ISS is not ..." into a separate patch of its
own. The reason being this addresses an existing bug in the codebase.

v10 - 1. To check if the address belongs to an emulated region, one
needs to check if it has a mmio handler or an ioreq server. In this
case, Xen should increment the PC
2. If the address is invalid (niether emulated MMIO nor the translation
could be resolved via p2m or mapping the MMIO region), then Xen should
forward the abort to the guest.
