[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix : [Bug 887516] [NEW] VFP support reported for the PXA270

[Benoît Canet]

A VFP was detected for pxa270 causing an "Illegal instruction"
exception.
The eglibc was not receiving the right AT_HWCAP from elfloader.c.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] arm-linux-user: fix elfload.c's AT_HWCAP reflected cpu features.

[Benoît Canet]

The cpu capabilities passed by the elf loader in AT_HWCAP where
a constant.
Make AT_HWCAP reflect the emulated cpu features in order to give
correct clues to eglibc.

I assume ELF_HWCAP is being used in architecture-independent code? Or
would it be feasible to replace all occurrences with the function call?

probe?

This doesn't return anything, it sets the hwcap flag. SET_HWCAP maybe?

I'm wondering if this translation table were better placed in
target-arm/helper.c where we fiddle with the features in the first
place. We could loop through all features here and call a function that
returns the hwcap or 0 and |= it. Me and others will be adding new
features and we'll risk adapting this here.

I was told that VFP_FP16 is *not* VFPv3-D16. Please remove that for now.

Many architecture in elfloader.c hardcode ELF_HWCAP before putting into the
AT_HWCAP elf field which is used by glibc to guess the cpu capabilities.
I don't feel it so arch independant.

After looking at the Linux kernel code I've changed my mind on this one:
we shouldn't set the FPA hwcap, because we don't model any CPU with FPA
hardware and the kernel doesn't set this hwcap even if it is providing
emulated FPA via nwfpe, so we shouldn't either.

As Andreas says, this one's wrong. We don't currently implement
any CPUs with VFPv3D16 (ie only 16 double registers) so we never
need to set this hwcap. (ARM_FEATURE_VP_FP16 means "we implement
half-precision VFP".)

Missing:
   /* Strictly should be ARM_FEATURE_V5TE but we don't distinguish
    * as all our v5 cores are v5TE at the moment
    */
   GET_FEATURE(ARM_FEATURE_V5, ARM_HWCAP_ARM_EDSP);

(although maybe we should just bite the bullet and define the feature
bit...)

> +#undef GET_FEATURE

> +}

While we're here we might as well update the hwcaps list
based on the most recent kernel:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/kernel/setup.c;h=7e7977ab994ff92ee4ded30ee728d92ed6c3a520;hb=HEAD#l986

So that's
    ARM_HWCAP_ARM_TLS       = 1 << 14,
    ARM_HWCAP_ARM_VFPv4     = 1 << 15,
    ARM_HWCAP_ARM_IDIVA     = 1 << 16,
    ARM_HWCAP_ARM_IDIVT     = 1 << 17,

and
    GET_FEATURE(ARM_FEATURE_V6K, ARM_HWCAP_ARM_TLS);
    GET_FEATURE(ARM_FEATURE_VFP4, ARM_HWCAP_ARM_VFPv4);
    GET_FEATURE(ARM_FEATURE_ARM_DIV, ARM_HWCAP_ARM_IDIVA);
    GET_FEATURE(ARM_FEATURE_THUMB_DIV, ARM_HWCAP_ARM_IDIVT);

Hmm. It's really linux-specific so there's a good argument for
leaving it in linux-user. On the other hand I did just add some
extra features (arm div, vfpv4) without fixing the hwcaps so I
see your point...

Maybe we should just have a comment in cpu.h next to the
arm_features enum?

That might do, too.
