Add support for the Zicond ISA extension #321

cmuellner · 2023-03-21T19:59:15Z

This patch introduces a coverage model and the generated test cases using riscv_ctg.

The tests have been generated using the following command:

  riscv_ctg.py \
    --cgf coverage/dataset.cgf \
    --cgf coverage/zicond.cgf \
    -bi rv32i \
    -d tests/
  riscv_ctg.py \
    --cgf coverage/dataset.cgf \
    --cgf coverage/zicond.cgf \
    -bi rv64i \
    -d tests64/

The resulting tests have been copied to the target directory:

  cp tests/*S riscv-test-suite/rv32i_m/Zicond/src/
  cp tests64/*S riscv-test-suite/rv64i_m/Zicond/src/

This PR depends on Zicond support in the riscv-ctg repo:
riscv-software-src/riscv-ctg#59

Open topics:

I have not filled out the form below because I could not find information on how to create the requested information (e.g. the coverage reports; running the ACT against SAIL, Spike or other emulators; are generated tests complying with the TestFormatSpec.adoc?)
I have ignored the generated arch_test.h, because there is zero documentation on what to do with that, and it differs fundamentally from ./riscv-test-suite/env/arch_test.h
I have ignored the generated encoding.h because there is zero documentation on what to do with that, and it differs strangely from ./riscv-test-suite/env/encoding.h (which has three more CSRs...)

Guidance on these open topics would be very welcome.

Zicond extension has no support in either Sail or gcc compiler. Can you give any pointer on which compiler toolchain have you used to build these tests and how have you run these tests on riscof?

Zicond extension has no support in either Sail or gcc compiler. Can you give any pointer on which compiler toolchain have you used to build these tests and how have you run these tests on riscof?

Zicond support for Binutils is upstream for quite some time: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=b625eff8a2346fe1107aa4ab7bbf4302f2c2136e

GCC support is not needed for this repository.

The changes for CTG are linked in the description of this PR (riscv-software-src/riscv-ctg#59).

Zicond support for Sail has been merged a few months ago: riscv/sail-riscv#206

The exact commands to generate the tests can be found in the description of the PR.

Zicond extension has no support in either Sail or gcc compiler. Can you give any pointer on which compiler toolchain have you used to build these tests and how have you run these tests on riscof?

To execute the tests, ensure you have the appropriate versions of Binutils, Spike, and SAIL installed. Once verified, you can initiate the tests using:

$ riscof testlist --config config.ini --suite riscv-arch-test/riscv-test-suite/rv64i_m/Zicond/ --env=riscv-arch-test/riscv-test-suite/env
[ ... ]
$ riscof run --config config.ini --suite riscv-arch-test/riscv-test-suite/rv64i_m/Zicond/ --env=riscv-arch-test/riscv-test-suite/env --no-browser

Thanks. I will make it work at my end.

UmerShahidengr · 2023-08-30T09:46:03Z

@charmitro I have updated binutils but upon compilation, it is giving unrecognized opcode error on czero.nez.
Can you share the binaries and/or exact versions of your riscv toolchain, binutils, and riscof please?

@charmitro I have updated binutils but upon compilation, it is giving unrecognized opcode error on czero.nez. Can you share the binaries and/or exact versions of your riscv toolchain, binutils, and riscof please?

What is the exact error message?
Which version of Binutils are you using?
How are you invoking Binutils (did you enable zicond?)?

UmerShahidengr · 2023-09-01T08:11:19Z

@cmuellner The exact error message is Error: unrecognized opcode `czero.eqz x31,x30,x29'
It is because I have not enabled Zicond and I am having trouble enabling it as I am not an expert in using binary utlities. It will be best if you send me the binary files of these tests.

UmerShahidengr · 2023-09-05T08:47:23Z

@charmitro , @cmuellner kind reminder. Can I get the binaries of Zicond tests?

You need to change this Changelog entry as there are a lot of PRs merged since this update, and this version number is taken.

UmerShahidengr

Update the Changelog file, rest of the files are ready to go.

cmuellner · 2023-11-17T09:03:37Z

Updating the Changelog of all PRs after each new commit on master does not scale.
There is also no "update the Changelog file". Instead a rebase is required.
And rebasing after 8 (!) months usually requires re-testing.
How can I justify these efforts, when at the end of the day the PR might just be ignored for at least another 8 months?

Also, it seems you solved the issues with your toolchain. It would be great to share your solution, so that others which face the same issue can learn from your solution.

You are absolutely right. Some moderator/writer will be assigned soon by sig-arch-tests team who will be managing this Changelog issue in future to make it scalable. @allenjbaum and co are working on our governance policies. For this time only, in order to remove the backlog, you are requested to update the file manually as nobody else the write access to this PR. Once you resolve the conflict, this PR will be merged right away.

Yes I resolved the issue, I found the gcc patch online which compiled the tests and I executed it successfully

PR has been rebase and Changelog has been updated (new version and today's date).

UmerShahidengr

Good to go now.

cmuellner · 2023-11-17T09:37:05Z

Also note, that the Changelog contains a merge-artifact: version 3.6.6-3.7.1 are duplicated.

Personally, I don't like the Changelog file approach. Especially if each patchset needs to bump a release number.
A much better scaling approach would be to enforce proper commit headings. Then the changelog can be generated by git log.

Putting aside the (subjective) don't-like aspect, there is still something that can be improved to make this approach scaling by looking at the GCC project.
There they require the changelog to be part of the commit message.
From there a nightly job collects copies them into the actual changelog file.

cmuellner · 2023-11-30T17:05:38Z

Once you resolve the conflict, this PR will be merged right away.

@UmerShahidengr: We already ran into a new conflict, since other PRs were merged since you requested my update. And the request-for-update and the update were made two weeks ago.

Thanks, @allenjbaum, @UmerShahidengr, and @charmitro!

Perfect timing, as Zicond's ratification has just been announced.
