Hi Ayan,

Hi Julien,

I need some clarification.


Title: The code you are modifying below is not GICv3 specific. I would suggest the following title:

xen/arm: vreg: Support vreg_reg64_* helpers on Aarch32

In some situations (eg GICR_TYPER), the hypervior may need to emulate
64bit registers in aarch32 mode. In such situations, the hypervisor may
need to read/modify the lower or upper 32 bits of the 64 bit register.

In aarch32, 64 bit is represented by unsigned long long. Thus, we need
to change the prototype accordingly.

The comment above explain why we never use uint64_t in the helpers above. IIRC, the compiler would end up to use 2 registers on AArch32 even for the vreg_reg32_* helpers. I wanted to avoid that and would like like to today. Can you check the code generated?

I am not sure I understood the comment very well.

With this patch, the disassembly is as follows :-

         vreg_reg32_update(&v->domain->arch.vgic.ctlr, r, info);
   28124c:   e597000c    ldr r0, [r7, #12]
VREG_REG_HELPERS(32, 0x3);
   281250:   e5d52002    ldrb    r2, [r5, #2]
   281254:   e1a02322    lsr r2, r2, #6
     unsigned long mask = VREG_REG_MASK(size);

Hmmm... Shouldn't this be "unsigned long long"?

The function looks like

Right. My question was why is this still a "unsigned long" with your patch? If the caller wanted to access the top 32-bit of a 64-bit value...


static inline void vreg_reg_update(unsigned long long *reg, register_t val,
                                    unsigned int offset,
                                    enum dabt_size size)
{
     unsigned long mask = VREG_REG_MASK(size);
     int shift = offset * 8;

     *reg &= ~(mask << shift);


... we would have 'mask << 32' which is AFAIU "undefined" because 'mask' is 'unsigned long'. Same...


     *reg |= ((unsigned long)val & mask) << shift;

... here. The operation would need to be done on 64-bit rather than 32-bit.



For other options, I would consider to either:
  1) Fold vreg_reg_* in the macros.

Can you explain this option a bit ?

At the moment, we have generic helpers for vreg_reg_*. They are only called within the helper generated by VREG_REG_HELPERS().

If we make those helpers size specific, then the only the 64-bit helpers would use uint64_t local variables.

As they are only called in one place, we could fold them in the existing helpers.

Just to make sure, I understand this. The code would look like below

#define VREG_REG_HELPERS(type, offmask)                         \

static inline void vreg_reg_##type##_update(type *reg, register_t val,        \

     const mmio_info_t *info)        \

{                                                  \

unsigned long mask = VREG_REG_MASK(size);                     \

unsigned int offset = info->gpa & (offmask);       \

int shift = offset * 8;                                            \

*reg &= ~(mask << shift);                                            \
*reg |= ((unsigned long)val & mask) << shift;           \

}

This implementation is not correct for 64-bit register. It would need to look like (untested):

static inline void vreg_reg##sz##_update(uint##sz##_t *reg,
                                         register_t val,
                                         const mmio_info_t *info)
{
    uint##sz##_t tmp = *reg;
    uint##sz##_t mask = VREG_REG_MASK(info->dabt.size);
    unsigned int offset = info->gap & (offsetmask);

    *reg &= ~(mask << shift);
    *reg |= ((uint##sz##_t)val & mask) << shift;
}



#define vreg_reg_update(reg, val, info)     \

do {                        \

     if (sizeof(reg) == 4)                 \

           vreg_reg_uint32_t_update(reg, val, info);                \

     else if (sizeof(reg) == 8)               \

         vreg_reg_uint64_t_update(reg, val, info);              \

     else                           \

         BUG();                        \

} while(0);                           \

After your change above, nobody will call vreg_reg_update(). So no need to re-implement the function. You can simply drop it.



Similar implementation will be for vreg_reg_clearbits(), vreg_reg_setbits() and vreg_reg_extract()


VREG_REG_HELPERS(uint32_t, 0x3);

VREG_REG_HELPERS(uint64_t, 0x7);


And the functions would be invoked as follows :-

vreg_update(&priority, r, info);

The code should use vreg_reg<sz>_update() rather than the generic one. At least it will be clear from the caller which size is expected.
