>From Peter: Hi All. This is a new scheme I've come up with handling device registers in a data driven way. My motivation for this is to factor out a lot of the access checking that seems to be replicated in every device. See P1 commit message for further discussion.
P1 is the main patch, adds the register definition functionality P2-3,6 add helpers that glue the register API to the Memory API P4 Defines a set of macros that minimise register and field definitions P5 is QOMfication P7 is a trivial P10-13 Work up to GPIO support P8,9,14 add new devices (the Xilinx Zynq devcfg & ZynqMP SLCR) that use this scheme. P15: Connect the ZynqMP SLCR device This Zynq devcfg device was particularly finnicky with per-bit restrictions. I'm also looking for a higher-than-usual modelling fidelity on the register space, with semantics defined for random reserved bits in-between otherwise consistent fields. Here's an example of the qemu_log output for the devcfg device. This is produced by now generic sharable code: /machine/unattached/device[44]:Addr 0x000008:CFG: write of value 00000508 /machine/unattached/device[44]:Addr 0x000080:MCTRL: write of value 00800010 /machine/unattached/device[44]:Addr 0x000010:INT_MASK: write of value ffffffff /machine/unattached/device[44]:Addr 00000000:CTRL: write of value 0c00607f And an example of a rogue guest banging on a bad bit: /machine/unattached/device[44]:Addr 0x000014:STATUS bits 0x000001 may not be \ written to 1 A future feature I am interested in is implementing TCG optimisation of side-effectless registers. The register API allows clear definition of what registers have txn side effects and which ones don't. You could even go a step further and translate such side-effectless accesses based on the data pointer for the register. Changes since RFC: - Connect the ZynqMP IOU SLCR device - Rebase Changed from RFC v4: Rebased Added QOMification Added GPIO support Refactored Devcfg device to use FIELD/REG/EX macros. Update style of devcfg device Added init_block help. Changed from v3: Rebased Added reserved bits. Cleaner separation of decode and access components (Patch 3) Changed from v2: Fixed for hw/ re-orginisation (Paolo review) Simplified and optimized (PMM and Gerd review) Changed from v1: Added ONES macro patch Dropped bogus former patch 1 (PMM review) Addressed Blue, Gerd and MST comments. Simplified to be more Memory API compatible. Added Memory API helpers. Please see discussion already on list and commit msgs for more detail.
