Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] target/riscv: Fix IALIGN check in misa write
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 17:49:56 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905074959.426911-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905074959.426911-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
The instruction alignment check for the C extension was inverted.
The new value should be checked for C bit clear (thus increasing
IALIGN). If IALIGN is incompatible, then the write to misa should
be suppressed, not just ignoring the update to the C bit.
From the ISA:
Writing misa may increase IALIGN, e.g., by disabling the "C"
extension. If an instruction that would write misa increases IALIGN,
and the subsequent instruction’s address is not IALIGN-bit aligned,
the write to misa is suppressed, leaving misa unchanged.
This was found with a verification test generator based on RiESCUE.
