Subject: [PATCH] target/riscv: prevent abrupt abortion on unassigned value write to tdata
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 04:30:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729230028.1797355-1-314abh@gmail.com> (raw)

tdata_csr_write is approachable by guest programs. In case of unassigned
values written to a tdata CSR in debug mode, the switch-case falls
through straight to default causing an immediate abort. The risc-v spec
says:

    All tdata registers follow write-any-read-legal semantics. If a debugger
    writes an unsupported configuration, the register will read back a value
    that is supported (which may simply be a disabled trigger). This means
    that a debugger must always read back values it writes to tdata
    registers, unless it already knows what is supported.

This fix correctly ensures that the WARL behaviour of tdata CSRs.

Fixes: a42bd001 ("target/riscv: debug: Determine the trigger type from
tdata1.type")
