Changes:
v3:
* Added vloxei8.v to overflow test.
* Added store variants of interrupted vector ops tests.

v2:
* Added a tcg tests build-time check for vector intrinsics support
  in target compiler before building new tests that require it.
  ci images may not support these yet unfortunately, but upgrading
  those will be a separate effort.

Thanks,
Nick

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.

The whole vector ldst instructions do not include a vstart check, so an
overflowed vstart can result in an underflowed memory address offset and
crash:

    accel/tcg/cputlb.c:1465:probe_access_flags:
      assertion failed: (-(addr | TARGET_PAGE_MASK) >= size)

Add the VSTART_CHECK_EARLY_EXIT() check for these helpers.

This was found with a verification test generator based on RiESCUE.

riscv vector instructions can be interrupted with a trap, and partial
completion is recorded in the vstart register. Some causes are
implementation dependent, for example an asynchronous interrupt (which I
don't think TCG allows). Others are architectural, typically memory
access faults on vector load/store instructions.

Add some TCG tests for interrupting vector load instructions and
resuming partially completed ones.

This would have caught a recent (now reverted) regression in vector
stride load implementation, commit 28c12c1f2f50d ("Generate strided
vector loads/stores with tcg nodes.")

Good catch! I had previously fixed some vector helpers that were
missing vstart checks, but I didn’t realize there were still some
omissions.

write_misa() is also reachable via riscv_csrrw_debug()
with ra=0, where get_next_pc() falls back to env->pc.
A debugger can set PC to a 2-byte-aligned address while C is
already disabled, then write misa keeping C=0. This hits
the condition and fires the g_assert.

The ISA spec language:

    "if an instruction that would write misa..."

does not cover debug writes, so the IALIGN suppression
arguably should not apply in that case at all.

We can:

    if (ra && !(val & RVC)
        && (get_next_pc(env, ra) & 3) != 0) {
        g_assert(env->misa_ext & RVC);
        return RISCV_EXCP_NONE;
    }

The feature probe relies on echo interpreting '\n'
as newlines, but this is not portable.

POSIX leaves echo's handling of backslash sequences
implementation-defined.

On bash (the default /bin/sh on many systems including
Fedora, Arch, and some CI images), echo outputs literal
'\n', so the preprocessor sees a malformed single-line input
and always fails. This silently disables test-interrupted-v
even when the compiler supports vector intrinsics.

I suggest using printf for portability:

    HAVE_RISCV_VECTOR_INTRINSICS := $(shell printf \
        '#ifndef __riscv_v_intrinsic\n#error\n#endif\n' | \
        $(CC) -march=rv64gcv -E -x c - \
        >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo y)

Regarding other checkpatch errors: the volatile usage and
sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) are correct for a guest test binary
that has no access to QEMU internals. These are
false positives.

Ah good catch

I'm not convinced that that's necessarily bad, as that's an odd and
invalid thing to be writing. But we probably shouldn't assert

Maybe it's best to change the `g_assert()` to a log GUEST_ERROR
instead. That way we flag that something fishy is going on, but don't
exit QEMU

Agreed!

Replacing the g_assert() with qemu_log_mask(LOG_GUEST_ERROR, ...)
sounds like the right balance — it still surfaces the anomaly for
anyone debugging, without taking down QEMU over what is ultimately
a debugger-induced corner case.

The IALIGN suppression logic itself is still correct for the normal
execution path, so there's no reason to skip it entirely; just don't
crash on the weird one.

Okay good feedback, thanks to you both. I agree, I'll make the changes
and resend.

Wow nice catch. My shell skills amount to pressing random buttons
until it works, so I appreciate the help :P
