Hi Jan,

Hi Bertrand,

As Rahul is on leave, I will answer you and make the changes needed.

Independent of this - is bare metal Arm enforcing this same

better synthesize misaligned accesses.

Unaligned IO access could be synthesise also on arm to but I would
rather not make such a change now without testing it (and there is
also a question of it making sense).

Yes it makes sense. I actually have an item in my TODO list to forbid unaligned access because they should not happen on any device we currently emulate.

Although, I am not aware of any issue other than the guest would shoot itself in the foot if this happens.


So if it is ok with you I will keep that check and discuss it with Rahul
when he is back. I will add a comment in the code to make that clear.

I am OK with it.

Throughout this series I haven't been able to spot where the HAS_VPCI
Kconfig symbol would get selected. Hence I cannot tell whether all of
this is Arm64-specific. Otherwise I wonder whether size 8 actually
can occur on Arm32.

Dabt.size could be 3 even on ARM32 but we should not allow 64bit
access on mmio regions on arm32.

Hmmm... Looking at the Armv7 and Armv8 spec, ldrd/strd (64-bit read) would not present a valid ISV. So I think it is not be possible to have dabt.size = 3 for 32-bit domain. But I agree we probably want to harden the code.


So I will surround this code with ifdef CONFIG_ARM_64 and add a test
for len > 4 to prevent this case on 32bit.

To be completely right we should disable this also for 32bit guests but
this change would be a bit more invasive.

I think the following should be sufficient:

if ( is_domain_32bit_domain() && len > 4 )
  return ...;
