I agree on this, actually I consider this dangerous. Currently the
memory behind addr in QEMU (hw/intc/arm_gic_kvm.c:kvm_arm_gic_get() for
instance) is only uint32_t, so you have to take care to provide uint64_t
backing for those registers, which means that there must be a match
between the register size the kernel knows and the size userland thinks
of. So I'd rather see the access size controlled by userland, probably
using Christoffer's suggestion below.
Also the GIC specification says that everything must be accessible with
32-bit accesses. Correct me if I am wrong on this, but vCPUs are not
supposed to run while you are getting/setting VGIC registers, right? So
there shouldn't be any issues with non-atomic accesses to 64-bit
registers, which means you could just go ahead and do everything in
32-bit only. This would also help with supporting 32-bit userland and/or
kernel later.
Cheers,
Andre.
