[PATCH v3 4/8] arm/arm64: KVM: Implement GICD_ICFGR as RO for PPIs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The GICD_ICFGR allows the bits for the SGIs and PPIs to be read only.
We currently simulate this behavior by writing a hardcoded value to the
register for the SGIs and PPIs on every write of these bits to the
register (ignoring what the guest actually wrote), and by writing the
same value as the reset value to the register.

This is a bit counter-intuitive, as the register is RO for these bits,
and we can just implement it that way, allowing us to control the value
of the bits purely in the reset code.
