[Qemu-devel] SPARC64: unable to boot OpenBIOS from git master

[Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I've been experimenting with SPARC64 under QEMU, and with current git 
master I am unable to boot OpenBIOS at all with the following error:

OpenBIOS for Sparc64
Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000032
PC = 0x00000000ffd19d84 NPC = 0x00000000ffd19d88
Stopping execution

Using git bisect indicates that the problem lies with the following commit:

     pci: set memory type for memory behind the bridge

     As we make upper bits in IO and prefetcheable memory
     registers writeable, we should declare support
     for 64 bit prefetcheable memory and 32 bit io
     in the bridge.

     This changes the default for apb, dec, but I'm guessing
     they got the defaults wrong by accident.
     Alternatively, we could let bridges declare lack of
     64 bit support and make the upper bits read-only zero.

     With this applied, we can drop these bits
     from express code.

     Could someone familiar with apb,dec ack this please?

Does anyone have an idea as to whether this is something that needs to 
be fixed in QEMU or OpenBIOS?


Many thanks,
