Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] target/riscv: Fix IALIGN check in misa write
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:45:52 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321144554.606417-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321144554.606417-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

The instruction alignment check for the C extension was inverted.
The new value should be checked for C bit clear (thus increasing
IALIGN). If IALIGN is incompatible, then the write to misa should
be suppressed, not just ignoring the update to the C bit.

From the ISA:

  Writing misa may increase IALIGN, e.g., by disabling the "C"
  extension. If an instruction that would write misa increases IALIGN,
  and the subsequent instruction’s address is not IALIGN-bit aligned,
  the write to misa is suppressed, leaving misa unchanged.

This was found with a verification test generator based on RiESCUE.
