Ever since RISCVCPUConfig got introduced users are able to set CPU extensions
in the command line. User settings are reflected in the cpu->cfg object
for later use. These properties are used in the target/riscv/cpu.c code,
most notably in riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions(), where most of our
realize time validations are made.
And then there's env->misa_ext, the field where the MISA extensions are
set, that is read everywhere else. We need to keep env->misa_ext updated
with cpu->cfg settings, since our validations rely on it, forcing us to
make register_cpu_props() write cpu->cfg.ext_N flags to cover for named
CPUs that aren't used named properties but also needs to go through the
same validation steps. Failing to so will make those name CPUs fail
validation (see c66ffcd5358b for more info). Not only that, but we also
need to sync env->misa_ext with cpu->cfg again during realize() time to
catch any change the user might have done, since the rest of the code
relies on that.
Making cpu->cfg.ext_N and env->misa_ext reflect each other is not
needed. What we want is a way for users to enable/disable MISA extensions,
and there's nothing stopping us from letting the user write env->misa_ext
directly. Here are the artifacts that will enable us to do that:
- RISCVCPUMisaExtConfig will declare each MISA property;
- cpu_set_misa_ext_cfg() is the setter for each property. We'll write
env->misa_ext and env->misa_ext_mask with the appropriate misa_bit;
cutting off cpu->cfg.ext_N from the logic;
- cpu_get_misa_ext_cfg() is a getter that will retrieve the current val
of the property based on env->misa_ext;
- riscv_cpu_add_misa_properties() will be called in register_cpu_props()
to init all MISA properties from the misa_ext_cfgs[] array.
With this infrastructure we'll start to get rid of each cpu->cfg.ext_N
attribute in the next patches.
