Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 12/18] target/arm/kvm: Introduce kvm_arm_expose_idreg_properties
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 17:29:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726153221.24773-13-eric.auger@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260726153221.24773-1-eric.auger@redhat.com>
This helper decode the ID reg writable mask, matches it against
ID reg fields defined in target/arm/cpu-idregs.h.inc and
for each writable named field, generates a uint64 property.
REVIDR_EL1 and AIDR_EL1 are writable but they do not expose any
field. They will be handled separately.
Signed-off-by: Eric Auger <eric.auger@redhat.com>
---
v5 -> v6
- for enum values, check against value value when setting the prop
- do not check writable_map flag anymore
v4 -> v5:
- free prop_name
- check cpu->writable_map as a preamble in kvm_arm_expose_idreg_properties
