[PATCH v8 0/5] Add Svade and Svadu Extensions Support
From: Yong-Xuan Wang
Date: Fri Jul 26 2024 - 04:49:49 EST
Svade and Svadu extensions represent two schemes for managing the PTE A/D
bit. When the PTE A/D bits need to be set, Svade extension intdicates that
a related page fault will be raised. In contrast, the Svadu extension
supports hardware updating of PTE A/D bits. This series enables Svade and
Svadu extensions for both host and guest OS.
Regrading the mailing thread[1], we have 4 possible combinations of
these extensions in the device tree, the default hardware behavior for
these possibilities are:
1) Neither Svade nor Svadu present in DT => It is technically
unknown whether the platform uses Svade or Svadu. Supervisor
software should be prepared to handle either hardware updating
of the PTE A/D bits or page faults when they need updated.
2) Only Svade present in DT => Supervisor must assume Svade to be
always enabled.
3) Only Svadu present in DT => Supervisor must assume Svadu to be
always enabled.
4) Both Svade and Svadu present in DT => Supervisor must assume
Svadu turned-off at boot time. To use Svadu, supervisor must
explicitly enable it using the SBI FWFT extension.
The Svade extension is mandatory and the Svadu extension is optional in
RVA23 profile. Platforms want to take the advantage of Svadu can choose
3. Those are aware of the profile can choose 4, and Linux won't get the
benefit of svadu until the SBI FWFT extension is available.
