    As spec says:
      Smaller single-core systems might have only a CLIC,
      while multicore systems might have a CLIC per-core and a single
    shared PLIC.
      The PLIC xeip signals are treated as hart-local interrupt
    sources by the CLIC at each core.

    It looks like it's possible to have one CLIC instance per core.

    If you want to delivery an interrupt to one hart, you should
    encode the IRQ by the interrupt number
    , the hart number and the interrupt target privilege, then set the
    irq.

    I think how to calculate the hart number is the task of PLIC and
    it can make use of "hartid-base"
    to calculate it.

Hi Zhiwei,

What I mean is if there are multiple CLIC instances, each per core (CLIC spec allows that).
If you try to bind CLIC with CPU index start from 0,
it will be impossible for CLIC instance to bind CPU from index other than 0.

For example, for 4 cores system, it's possible to have 4 CLIC instances:
  * CLIC 0 binds to CPU 0
  * CLIC 1 binds to CPU 1
  * CLIC 2 binds to CPU 2
  * CLIC 3 binds to CPU 3

and that's why I said it's possible to pass an extra "hartid-base" just like PLIC. I know most of hardid are calculated by the requesing address, so most hartid usages should be fine.
But I saw two places using qemu_get_cpu(),
which may cause the problem for the scenario I describe above:
i.e. riscv_clic_next_interrupt() and riscv_clic_realize() as my original reply.

So what's the problem here?

Currently all cores share the same CLIC instance. Do you want to give each core  a CLIC instance?

Thanks,
Zhiwei

    However if you try to bind CPU reference start from index i = 0.
    It's not possible for each per-core CLIC to bind their own CPU
    instance in multicore system
    as they have to bind from CPU 0.

    I'm not sure if we add a new "hartid-base" property just like
    what SiFive PLIC is
    implemented would be a good idea or not.
