[Qemu-arm] [PATCH 0/3] gicv3: Correct mishandling of NS BPR1 values


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-arm] [PATCH 0/3] gicv3: Correct mishandling of NS BPR1 values
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 18:13:09 +0100

I happened to be looking at the GICv3 spec and our implementation,
and I realized that we don't correctly calculate the mask values
to get group priorities based on BPR values if the NS BPR1 is
being used. This BPR, unlike the S BPR1 or the BPR0, has
off-by-one semantics, so instead of "use bits [7:1]" being
bpr == 0, it is bpr == 1, and so on, with an NS BPR1 value of
0 being impossible.

Patch 3 in this set fixes this error, and fixes the comments
so they're actually accurate. Patches 1 and 2 are preliminary
bug fixes which ensure that the NS BPR1 values are actually
constrained to be greater than 0, so that the assert()s added
in patch 3 can't fire.

I'm sending this as the last thing before I head out of the
door, so will respond to review comments in June...

thanks
