[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] arm_gic: Various fixes

[luc . michel]

From: Luc MICHEL <address@hidden>

Hi,

Here is a patch set for issues I found in the GIC. I found those by
writing unitary tests for the GIC, and compared the result against
real hardware (a Zynq UltraScale+ board with a GICv2).

The first patch prevents the GIC from signaling an IRQ that is in the
"active and pending" state. I encountered this bug in a test where I
split end of interrupt and interrupt deactivation. The GIC was
re-signaling the IRQ after priority drop if it was raised again, while
it has not been deactivated yet (and thus was in the "active and
pending" state).

The second patch returns a correct "Idle priority" value when reading
C_RPR if there is no active interrupt.

The last two patches fix issues around the Binary Point Register (the
group priority computation of group 1 IRQs when C_CTRL.CBPR is 0, and
the non-secure view of C_BPR when C_CTRL.CBPR is 1).
