Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Fixes for load/store misaligned and access faults
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 01:40:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260210094044.72591-1-ganboing@gmail.com> (raw)
Re-visit the load/store misaligned and access fault handlers to fix
issues related to coding patterns, floating-point state, and instruction
decoding:
a. Vector misaligned load/store emulator is invoked improperly
b. vsstatus.FS is not set dirty when V=1
c. No checking of previous XLEN, resulting in wrong insn decoding
d. Load/Store base address is wrongly assumed to be trap address
e. High 32-bits of tinst needs to be checked against 0
The pathset is validated on a modified QEMU[1] that exposed misaligned
faults, and QEMU[2], which further disabled the insn transformation.
[2] covers more insn decoding branches, including the particular ones
which can trigger the wrong decoding (c)
The patchset is also validated on Sifive P550 core (ESWIN EIC7700),
which is RV64-only in M/(V)S/(V)U, no HW misaligned support, no vector,
and mtinst always 0. Refer to [3] for the git repo/branch that has all
6 patches applied along with the test case that exercises all integer
and floating-point load/store instructions.
Test case used is available in PATCH 7.
There's no change to the behavior of the vector misaligned load/store
handler. However, I've found additional issues with them:
- `uint8_t mask[VLEN_MAX / 8]` in sbi_trap_v_ldst.c is 8KB, which
can overflow the default 4KB stack.
- tinst should be zero'ed out to not confuse previous mode when
redirecting faults, otherwise the vector insn can be mistaken
as a regular load/store.
- VS in previous mode must be set dirty for loads.
These will be addressed in follow-up patches.
