Hi Yifan,

VHE support in gem5 had some bugs and therefore we decided to disable it by 
default, until all problems were fixed.
I have investigated those issues, and I am finally able to boot Linux at EL2 
(with VHE enabled).

I will soon post some patches to the develop branch and we can think about 
backporting them to gem5 v22 once they get merged

Kind Regards

Giacomo

Subject: [gem5-users] Can GEM5 running Linux using Arm ISA with FEAT_VHE 
support?

Hi all!
I tried running Linux of ARM architecture by GEM5 v21.2.1.1 with feature 
`FEAT_VHE` and `VIRTUALIZATION` enabled, but it stalled in `paging_init`. The 
Linux is compiled from https://gem5.googlesource.com/arm/linux, branch 
`gem5/v4.14`; and the bootloader is `boot.arm64` downloaded from 
http://dist.gem5.org/dist/v21-2/arm/aarch-system-20210904.tar.bz2.

This problem is quite similar to https://gem5.atlassian.net/browse/GEM5-901.

I noticed that in GEM v20.1.0.3, a parameter `have_vhe` was added, in commit 
https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/39695. This parameter was 
removed in a later commit 
https://gem5-review.googlesource.com/c/public/gem5/+/51010.

Can GEM5 running Linux using Arm ISA with FEAT_VHE support?

Best Regards,

Yifan Tan
