Subject: [PATCH v4 15/17] arm/cpu: Expose writable ID reg field properties on the kvm host vcpu model
Date: Sun, 3 May 2026 09:33:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260503073541.790215-16-eric.auger@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260503073541.790215-1-eric.auger@redhat.com>
If the host supports KVM_CAP_ARM_SUPPORTED_REG_MASK_RANGES and
KVM_ARM_GET_REG_WRITABLE_MASKS ioctl successfully retrieved the mask
of writable fields for all ID regs, expose uint64 SYSREG properties
for all the writable ID reg fields exposed by the host kernel which
can be matched in target/arm/cpu-sysreg-properties.c.
Properties are named SYSREG_<REG>_<FIELD> with REG and FIELD
being those used in linux arch/arm64/tools/sysreg or in the AARCHMRS
Registers.json.
This is achieved by matching the writable fields retrieved from the
host kernel against the generated description of ID regs and their
fields in target/arm/cpu-sysreg-properties.c.
An example of invocation is:
-cpu host,SYSREG_ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1_DP=0x0
which sets DP field of ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1 to 0.
[CH: add properties to the host model instead of introducing a new
"custom" model]
