Subject: [PATCH] MdePkg/BaseIoLibIntrinsicArmVirt ARM: avoid double word loads and stores
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 14:13:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181107131301.15852-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
BaseIoLibIntrinsicArmVirt was created to prevent LTO from merging
accesses to MMIO regions, resulting in instructions with multiple
output registers that KVM on ARM cannot emulate (since the exception
syndrome information that KVM relies on can only describe a single
output register)
However, using double word loads on ARM amounts to the same thing,
and so code that relies on doing 64-bit MMIO to regions that are
emulated under KVM (such as the GICv3 TYPER register) will still
suffer from the original issue.
So replace ldrd and strd with equivalent two instruction sequences.
