Hi Juerg, thanks for the report!

[ 62.857661] SError Interrupt on CPU1, code 0xbf000002 -- SError

So ESR's IDS (bit 24) is set, which means it's an 'Implementation Defined
SError,' hence IIUC the rest of the error code is meaningless to anyone outside
of Broadcom/RPi.

It's imp-def from the architecture's PoV, but the implementation in this case is Cortex-A72, where 0x000002 means an attributable, containable Slave Error:

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100095/0003/system-control/aarch64-register-descriptions/exception-syndrome-register--el1-and-el3?lang=en

In other words, the thing at the other end of an interconnect transaction said "no" :)

(The fact that Cortex-A72 gets too far ahead of itself to take it as a synchronous external abort is a mild annoyance, but hey...)

The regmap is created through the following syscon device:

avs_monitor: avs-monitor@7d5d2000 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-avs-monitor",
"syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x7d5d2000 0xf00>;

thermal: thermal {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-thermal";
#thermal-sensor-cells = <0>;
};
};

I've done some tests with devmem, and the whole <0x7d5d2000 0xf00> range is
full of addresses that trigger this same error. Also note that as per Florian's
comments[1]: "AVS_RO_REGISTERS_0: 0x7d5d2200 - 0x7d5d22e3." But from what I can
tell, at least 0x7d5d22b0 seems to be faulty too.

Any ideas/comments? My guess is that those addresses are marked somehow as
secure, and only for VC4 to access (VC4 is RPi4's co-processor). Ultimately,
the solution is to narrow the register range exposed by avs-monitor to whatever
bcm2711-thermal needs (which is ATM a single 32bit register).

When a peripheral decodes a region of address space, nobody says it has to accept accesses to *every* address in that space; registers may be sparsely populated, and although some devices might be "nice" and make unused areas behave as RAZ/WI, others may throw slave errors if you poke at the wrong places. As you note, in a TrustZone-aware device some registers may only exist in one or other of the Secure/Non-Secure address spaces.

Even when there is a defined register at a given address, it still doesn't necessarily accept all possible types of access; it wouldn't be particularly friendly, but a device *could* have, say, some registers that support 32-bit accesses and others that only support 16-bit accesses, and thus throw slave errors if you do the wrong thing in the wrong place.

It really all depends on the device itself.

Robin.

Nicolas
