For RISC-V the opcode decode will change between different vendor
implementations of RISC-V (emulated by the same qemu binary).
Any two vendors may reuse the same opcode space, e.g., we may end up with:
# *** RV64 Custom-3 Extension ***
{
vt_maskc 0000000 ..... ..... 110 ..... 1111011 @r |has_xventanacondops_p
vt_maskcn 0000000 ..... ..... 111 ..... 1111011 @r |has_xventanacondops_p
someone_something ............ ..... 000 ..... 1100111 @i
|has_xsomeonesomething_p
}
With extensions being enabled either from the commandline
-cpu any,xventanacondops=true
or possibly even having a AMP in one emulation setup (e.g. application
cores having one extension and power-mangement cores having a
different one — or even a conflicting one).
Cheers,
Philipp.
