Coverity found a DEADCODE issue in rmw_xireg() claiming that we can't reach 'RISCV_EXCP_VIRT_INSTRUCTION_FAULT' at the 'done' label:
done: if (ret) { return (env->virt_enabled && virt) ? RISCV_EXCP_VIRT_INSTRUCTION_FAULT : RISCV_EXCP_ILLEGAL_INST; } return RISCV_EXCP_NONE; This happens because the 'virt' flag, which is only used by 'done', is set to 'false' and it will always remain 'false' in any condition where we'll jump to 'done': switch (csrno) { (...) case CSR_VSIREG: isel = env->vsiselect; virt = true; break; default: goto done; }; 'virt = true' will never reach 'done' because we have a if/else-if/else block right before the label that will always return: if (xiselect_aia_range(isel)) { return ... } else if (...) { return ... } else { return RISCV_EXCP_ILLEGAL_INST; } All this means that we can preserve the current logic by reducing the 'done' label to: done: if (ret) { return RISCV_EXCP_ILLEGAL_INST; } return RISCV_EXCP_NONE; The flag 'virt' is now unused. Remove it. Fix the 'goto done' identation while we're at it.
