If mtmsr L=1 sets MSR[EE] while there is a maskable exception pending, it does not cause an interrupt. This causes the test case to hang:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2019-10/msg00826.html More recently, Linux reduced the occurance of operations (e.g., rfi) which stop translation and allow pending interrupts to be processed. This started causing hangs in Linux boot in long-running kernel tests, running with '-d int' shows the decrementer stops firing despite DEC wrapping and MSR[EE]=1. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-April/208301.html The cause is the broken mtmsr L=1 behaviour, which is contrary to the architecture. From Power ISA v3.0B, p.977, Move To Machine State Register, Programming Note states: If MSR[EE]=0 and an External, Decrementer, or Performance Monitor exception is pending, executing an mtmsrd instruction that sets MSR[EE] to 1 will cause the interrupt to occur before the next instruction is executed, if no higher priority exception exists Fix this by handling L=1 exactly the same way as L=0, modulo the MSR bits altered. The confusion arises from L=0 being "context synchronizing" whereas L=1 is "execution synchronizing", which is a weaker semantic. However this is not a relaxation of the requirement that these exceptions cause interrupts when MSR[EE]=1 (e.g., when mtmsr executes to completion as TCG is doing here), rather it specifies how a pipelined processor can have multiple instructions in flight where one may influence how another behaves.

This bug possibly goes back to early v2.04 / mtmsrd L=1 support around 2007, and the code has been changed several times since then so may require some backporting. 32-bit / mtmsr untested at the moment, I don't have an environment handy. target/ppc/translate.c | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/target/ppc/translate.c b/target/ppc/translate.c index b207fb5386..9959259dba 100644 --- a/target/ppc/translate.c +++ b/target/ppc/translate.c @@ -4361,30 +4361,34 @@ static void gen_mtmsrd(DisasContext *ctx) CHK_SV; #if !defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) + if (tb_cflags(ctx->base.tb) & CF_USE_ICOUNT) { + gen_io_start(); + } if (ctx->opcode & 0x00010000) { - /* Special form that does not need any synchronisation */ + /* L=1 form only updates EE and RI */ TCGv t0 = tcg_temp_new(); + TCGv t1 = tcg_temp_new(); tcg_gen_andi_tl(t0, cpu_gpr[rS(ctx->opcode)], (1 << MSR_RI) | (1 << MSR_EE)); - tcg_gen_andi_tl(cpu_msr, cpu_msr, + tcg_gen_andi_tl(t1, cpu_msr, ~(target_ulong)((1 << MSR_RI) | (1 << MSR_EE))); - tcg_gen_or_tl(cpu_msr, cpu_msr, t0); + tcg_gen_or_tl(t1, t1, t0); + + gen_helper_store_msr(cpu_env, t1); tcg_temp_free(t0); + tcg_temp_free(t1); + } else { /* * XXX: we need to update nip before the store if we enter * power saving mode, we will exit the loop directly from * ppc_store_msr */ - if (tb_cflags(ctx->base.tb) & CF_USE_ICOUNT) { - gen_io_start(); - } gen_update_nip(ctx, ctx->base.pc_next); gen_helper_store_msr(cpu_env, cpu_gpr[rS(ctx->opcode)]); - /* Must stop the translation as machine state (may have) changed */ - /* Note that mtmsr is not always defined as context-synchronizing */ - gen_stop_exception(ctx); } + /* Must stop the translation as machine state (may have) changed */ + gen_stop_exception(ctx); #endif /* !defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) */ } #endif /* defined(TARGET_PPC64) */ @@ -4394,15 +4398,23 @@ static void gen_mtmsr(DisasContext *ctx) CHK_SV; #if !defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) - if (ctx->opcode & 0x00010000) { - /* Special form that does not need any synchronisation */ + if (tb_cflags(ctx->base.tb) & CF_USE_ICOUNT) { + gen_io_start(); + } + if (ctx->opcode & 0x00010000) { + /* L=1 form only updates EE and RI */ TCGv t0 = tcg_temp_new(); + TCGv t1 = tcg_temp_new(); tcg_gen_andi_tl(t0, cpu_gpr[rS(ctx->opcode)], (1 << MSR_RI) | (1 << MSR_EE)); - tcg_gen_andi_tl(cpu_msr, cpu_msr, + tcg_gen_andi_tl(t1, cpu_msr, ~(target_ulong)((1 << MSR_RI) | (1 << MSR_EE))); - tcg_gen_or_tl(cpu_msr, cpu_msr, t0); + tcg_gen_or_tl(t1, t1, t0); + + gen_helper_store_msr(cpu_env, t1); tcg_temp_free(t0); + tcg_temp_free(t1); + } else { TCGv msr = tcg_temp_new(); @@ -4411,9 +4423,6 @@ static void gen_mtmsr(DisasContext *ctx) * power saving mode, we will exit the loop directly from * ppc_store_msr */ - if (tb_cflags(ctx->base.tb) & CF_USE_ICOUNT) { - gen_io_start(); - } gen_update_nip(ctx, ctx->base.pc_next); #if defined(TARGET_PPC64) tcg_gen_deposit_tl(msr, cpu_msr, cpu_gpr[rS(ctx->opcode)], 0, 32); @@ -4422,10 +4431,9 @@ static void gen_mtmsr(DisasContext *ctx) #endif gen_helper_store_msr(cpu_env, msr); tcg_temp_free(msr); - /* Must stop the translation as machine state (may have) changed */ - /* Note that mtmsr is not always defined as context-synchronizing */ - gen_stop_exception(ctx); } + /* Must stop the translation as machine state (may have) changed */ + gen_stop_exception(ctx); #endif } -- 2.23.0
