On systems where it supports two security states, both the register GICR_WAKE and GICD_IGROUPR accesses are RAZ/WI from non-secure. The function gic_enable_redist() to wake/sleep redistributor is not harmful at all, but it is confusing looking at the code. The current code checks the single security state based on bit GICD_CTLR.DS which is absolutely incorrect. The disable security bit GICD_CTLR.DS is RAZ to non-secure.
I'm afraid we don't have the same definition of GICD_CTLR.DS. In my copy
of the architecture spec, it says:
"When this field is set to 1, all accesses to GICD_CTLR access the
single Security state view, and all bits are accessible".
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This would tend to support my interpretation that once DS has been set
from the secure side, it becomes visible to all type of accesses.
The GICD_TYPE.SecurityExtn indicates whether the GIC implementation supports two security states or only one security state.
Yes, and that's orthogonal to having set DS or not. So clearly, we have a difference of interpretation. What part of the spec is supporting yours? Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
