Run a unaligned vector access to test if the system supports

This is useful for usermode to know if vector misaligned accesses are
supported and if they are faster or slower than equivalent byte accesses.

This unconditionally sets scalar unaligned accesses even if the
unaligned access is caused by vector. Scalar unaligned accesses should
only be set to emulated if this function is entered from a scalar
unaligned load.


Im sorry I missunderstood what you were reffering to. The check above does return, but you are saying when a misaligned vector does come here.

If a misaligned vector load trap does happen when we arent checking
it will still cause a fault as `vector_misaligned_access != RISCV_HWPROBE_VEC_MISALIGNED_SUPPORTED`. Basicaly the return 0 above will only ever be posible duing check_vector_unaligned_access.

The rest of this function handles how scalar unaligned accesses are
emulated, and the equivalent needs to happen for vector.

I am hesitant to do so because I have very little knowlage of how RVV works. It will maintain the previous behavoir of trapping if
VEC_MISALIGNED_UNSUPPORTED.

You need to add
routines that manually load the data from the memory address into the
vector register. When Clément did this for scalar, he provided a test
case to help reviewers [1]. Please add onto these test cases or make
your own for vector.

Link: https://github.com/clementleger/unaligned_test [1]

I will add a test.


Hi Jesse,

I already mentionned that in a previous message and got no answer [1].
Please address all feedback before sending another version. Adding a
cover letter for such series would also be appreciated.

Sorry I didnt understand and thought your question was the same as
charlies.

Thanks,
Jesse Taube


Thanks,

Clément

zicclsm is not specific to vector so it can be extracted out of this
vector specific function. Assuming that hardware properly reports the
extension, if zicclsm is present then it is known that both vector and
scalar unaligned accesses are supported.

+ per_cpu(vector_misaligned_access, cpu) = RISCV_HWPROBE_VEC_MISALIGNED_SUPPORTED;

Please use the exising UNKNOWN terminology instead of renaming to
SUPPORTED. Any option that is not UNSUPPORTED implies that unaligned
accesses are supported.

If CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V is not set, there is no value in checking if
vector unaligned accesses are supported because userspace will not be
allowed to use vector instructions anyway.
