This patchseries fixes some bugs in v8.1M M-profile sysreg accesses: (1) When the FPU is disabled and there is no active FP context (as defined by the pseudocode fpInactive flag), accesses to FPCXT_NS should not fail with a NOCP exception (2) For cases where VLDR/VSTR sysreg don't perform a memory access (VLDR/VSTR of VPR when unprivileged, and VLDR to FPCXT_NS when fpInactive), the "side effects" of the load (update of writeback base register, and stack limit check) still need to happen, but we were skipping them
This patchseries fixes those bugs. Since these were detected by running tests from the gcc testsuite, I've marked the first four patches as cc: stable. The last three are a refactoring which isn't part of the bugfix proper. Note for backport to stable: the patchset has a semantic dependency on commit 9a486856e9173af, which was not marked as cc-stable because we didn't know we'd need it for a for-stable bugfix. So that needs to be taken as well if this series goes to stable. thanks -- PMM Peter Maydell (7): target/arm/translate-vfp.c: Whitespace fixes target/arm: Handle FPU being disabled in FPCXT_NS accesses target/arm: Don't NOCP fault for FPCXT_NS accesses target/arm: Handle writeback in VLDR/VSTR sysreg with no memory access target/arm: Factor FP context update code out into helper function target/arm: Split vfp_access_check() into A and M versions target/arm: Handle FPU check for FPCXT_NS insns via vfp_access_check_m() target/arm/translate-a32.h | 1 + target/arm/m-nocp.decode | 24 ++ target/arm/vfp.decode | 14 - target/arm/translate-m-nocp.c | 550 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ target/arm/translate-vfp.c | 664 ++++++---------------------------- 5 files changed, 681 insertions(+), 572 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
