riscv: T-Head: Test availability bit before enabling MAE errata
T-Head's memory attribute extension (XTheadMae) (non-compatible
equivalent of RVI's Svpbmt) is currently assumed for all T-Head harts.
However, QEMU recently decided to drop acceptance of guests that write
reserved bits in PTEs.
As XTheadMae uses reserved bits in PTEs and Linux applies the MAE errata
for all T-Head harts, this broke the Linux startup on QEMU emulations
of the C906 emulation.
This patch attempts to address this issue by testing the MAE-enable bit
in the th.sxstatus CSR. This CSR is available in HW and can be
emulated in QEMU.
This patch also makes the XTheadMae probing mechanism reliable, because
a test for the right combination of mvendorid, marchid, and mimpid
is not sufficient to enable MAE.

Merge patch series "RISC-V Hardware Probing User Interface"
Evan Green <evan@rivosinc.com> says:
There's been a bunch of off-list discussions about this, including at
Plumbers. The original plan was to do something involving providing an
ISA string to userspace, but ISA strings just aren't sufficient for a
stable ABI any more: in order to parse an ISA string users need the
version of the specifications that the string is written to, the version
of each extension (sometimes at a finer granularity than the RISC-V
releases/versions encode), and the expected use case for the ISA string
(ie, is it a U-mode or M-mode string). That's a lot of complexity to
try and keep ABI compatible and it's probably going to continue to grow,
as even if there's no more complexity in the specifications we'll have
to deal with the various ISA string parsing oddities that end up all
over userspace.
Instead this patch set takes a very different approach and provides a set
of key/value pairs that encode various bits about the system. The big
advantage here is that we can clearly define what these mean so we can
ensure ABI stability, but it also allows us to encode information that's
unlikely to ever appear in an ISA string (see the misaligned access
performance, for example). The resulting interface looks a lot like
what arm64 and x86 do, and will hopefully fit well into something like
ACPI in the future.
The actual user interface is a syscall, with a vDSO function in front of
it. The vDSO function can answer some queries without a syscall at all,
and falls back to the syscall for cases it doesn't have answers to.
Currently we prepopulate it with an array of answers for all keys and
a CPU set of "all CPUs". This can be adjusted as necessary to provide
fast answers to the most common queries.
An example series in glibc exposing this syscall and using it in an
ifunc selector for memcpy can be found at [1].
I was asked about the performance delta between this and something like
sysfs. I created a small test program and ran it on a Nezha D1
Allwinner board. Doing each operation 100000 times and dividing, these
operations take the following amount of time:
- open()+read()+close() of /sys/kernel/cpu_byteorder: 3.8us
- access("/sys/kernel/cpu_byteorder", R_OK): 1.3us
- riscv_hwprobe() vDSO and syscall: .0094us
- riscv_hwprobe() vDSO with no syscall: 0.0091us
These numbers get farther apart if we query multiple keys, as sysfs will
scale linearly with the number of keys, where the dedicated syscall
stays the same. To frame these numbers, I also did a tight
fork/exec/wait loop, which I measured as 4.8ms. So doing 4
open/read/close operations is a delta of about 0.3%, versus a single vDSO
call is a delta of essentially zero.
