Commit Message

Philipp Tomsich Jan. 13, 2022, 8:20 p.m. UTC
This adds the decoder and translation for the XVentanaCondOps custom
extension (vendor-defined by Ventana Micro Systems), which is
documented at https://github.com/ventanamicro/ventana-custom-extensions/releases/download/v1.0.0/ventana-custom-extensions-v1.0.0.pdf

This commit then also adds a guard-function (has_XVentanaCondOps_p)
and the decoder function to the table of decoders, enabling the
support for the XVentanaCondOps extension.

Changes in v2:
- Split off decode table into XVentanaCondOps.decode
- Wire up XVentanaCondOps in the decoder-table

This looks reasonable to me.

I'm going to leave this for a bit in case there are any more comments.

I was a little worried that taking vendor extensions isn't the right
move, as we might get stuck with a large number of them. But this is
pretty self contained and I think with the growing RISC-V interest
it's something we will eventually need to support.

I'm going to update the QEMU RISC-V wiki page with this to make the
position clear (comments very welcome)

=== RISC-V Extensions ===
As RISC-V has a range of possible extensions, QEMU has guidelines for
supporting them all.

If an extension is frozen or ratified by the RISC-V foundation, it can
be supported in QEMU.

If an official RISC-V foundation extension is in a reasonable draft
state, that is not too many changes are still expected, it can be
supported experimentally by QEMU. Experimental support means it must
be disabled by default and marked with a "x-" in the properties. QEMU
will only support the latest version of patches submitted for a draft
extension. A draft extension can also be removed at any time if it
conflicts with other extensions.

QEMU will also support vendor extensions. Vendor extensions must be
disabled by default, but can be enabled for specific vendor CPUs and
boards. Vendor extensions must be maintained and tested by the vendor.
Vendor extensions can not interfere with other extensions and can not
be obtrusive to the RISC-V target code.

Alistair,

Some of us (the merit almost exclusively goes to Kito) have been
working towards a similar policy for GCC/binutils and LLVM.
This currently lives in:
   https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-toolchain-conventions/pull/17

A few comments & a question below.

Thanks,
Philipp.

I guess I should create a v3 with appropriate paths in the MAINTAINERS file?

I know that there is some interest to have the XtheadV (the
instructions previously known as vectors 0.7.1-draft) supported and we
have the reality of a deployed base that implements it in hardware.
This would conflict with the opcode space used by the standard RISC-V
vectors, so it makes for an interesting test case (even if just to
clarify our intent)...
Personally, I would like to avoid precluding inclusion of something
useful (of course, "Vendor extensions must be maintained and tested by
the vendor." has to apply!), if a vendor was going to step up and also
offers to maintain it.

So let's assume such a (very significant) addition were factored out
similarly, interfacing just through a hook in decode_op and
argument-parsing logic that ensures that the conflicting
standard-extension is turned off: would this still be acceptable under
this policy — or would it trip the "obtrusive" condition?

Ah cool! We can use that as a good starting point.

Hmm... Good point. I don't think you have to if you don't want to.

My point here was more to just make it clear that upstream QEMU is not
a dumping ground for vendor extensions to get them maintained by
someone else. Obviously we won't purposely break things just for fun.
There is an expectation that the vendor tests their extensions and
responds to bug reports and things like that.

Yeah... this is unfortunate. I agree that having the 0.7.1-draft
extensions supported would be great. There is hardware that supports
it.

I think this point still stands though. IF the XtheadV implementation
is self contained and doesn't interfere with the vector extensions,
then that's great and we can support it. If instead it adds a large
amount of conditionals to the released vector extension code then I
don't think we can take it.

There is some wiggle room, but the RISC-V tree already has enough
going on and very little reviewers. If in the future we get more
reviewers and testers we can re-evaulate what is acceptable, but for
now I think we need to be a little strict. (Hint to any companies to
give developers time to review)

I think that would be acceptable, I wouldn't say that is obtrusive as
it's self contained.

Ok, take two:

=== RISC-V Foundation Extensions ===
As RISC-V has a range of possible extensions, QEMU has guidelines for
supporting them all.

If an extension is frozen or ratified by the RISC-V foundation, it can
be supported in QEMU. Generally we will try to support as many versions
as feasible, following the usual QEMU deprecation policy to remove old
versions.

If an official RISC-V foundation extension is in a reasonable draft
state, that is not too many changes are still expected, it can be
supported experimentally by QEMU. Experimental support means it must
be disabled by default and marked with a "x-" in the CPU/board properties.
Draft extensions can be enabled by specific CPUs or boards if the hardware
supports that extension.

QEMU will only support the latest version of patches submitted for a draft
extension. A draft extension can also be removed at any time and does not
follow QEMU's deprecation policy.

=== RISC-V Custom Extensions/Instructions ===
Support for custom instruction set extensions are an important part of RISC-V,
with large encoding spaces reserved of vendor extensions.

QEMU follows similar rules to the RISC-V toolchain convention, as described
here: https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-toolchain-conventions/pull/17

QEMU will support vendor extensions. Vendor extensions must be
disabled by default, but can be enabled for specific vendor CPUs and
boards. The vendor extensions should use prefixes and names as described in
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-toolchain-conventions

Vendor extensions must be maintained and tested by the vendor. Upstream will
take efforts to not break extensions, but testing and bug fixes should be
done by the vendor. Patches to add support for open source toolchains are
unlikely to be accepted without specification documents being made available
publicly.

Vendor extensions can not interfere with other extensions and can not
be obtrusive to the core RISC-V target code.

If you are looking to add support for vendor extensions, it is recommended
that you get involved in the QEMU review process. It is also recommended that
you send your patches as early as possible to get community feedback before
they are fully implemented. This is especially important if you are modifying
core code.

"always_true" is the first entry,

so is that ever called?

Please refer to patch 1/2:
1. The guard-function only gates whether a decoder function is enabled/called.
2. Enabled decoders are iterated over until a decoder handles the
instruction-word—or we run out of decoders.
3. If no enabled decoder handled an instruction word, we raise an
illegal instruction.

This really is just a table-based form of the what would be equivalent
to the following pseudocode:
   if (guard_func_1() && decoder1(…))
     /* pass */ ;
   else if (guard_func_2() && decoder2(...))
     /* pass */ ;
   [...]
   else
     raise_illegal();

And just as an aside (before we start discussing performance), let's
make sure we all agree that this is perfectly optimizable (I may be
missing a 'const') by a compiler:
1. The number of entries in the array are known at compile-time and
small integer — a compiler can thus peel the loop.
2. The function pointers are in the same compilation unit, so this can
be converted from indirect to direct calls (a special case of
constant-propagation).
3. Predicate functions (given that they will be very small) can be inlined.

Best,
Philipp.

Should we include a version number on experimental versions?

LLVM requires users to fully specify the version, when using
experimental versions.
This may be a useful stereotype also for QEmu, as it ensures that
users are aware that the underlying specification version has changed
(e.g., when someone requests x-zbb-0p92 and our implementation moves
to x-zbb-0p93 (there was a difference in encoding of the
minimum/maximum operations in-between)), an error will be raised early
instead of having a computation go wrong later.

We traditionally haven't and it's up to anyone using an experimental
extension to check the version.

It's probably worth including though, I have added a sentence there.

Thanks for the feedback, I have added that to the wiki

Again, no inline.

Don't look back to RISCV_CPU here.  We shouldn't even have access to that here, as it 
leads to temptation to do invalid things at translation time (this isn't one of them, 
since it only accesses constant state).  What we have been doing is copying ext_foo into 
DisasContext in riscv_tr_init_disas_context.  Though it might be time to revisit that.

Perhaps give the cpu->cfg structure type a name, e.g. RISCVCPUConfig.  Add  "const 
RISCVCPUConfig *cfg" to DisasContext and copy the pointer across in init_disas_context.
