RISCV-HYP-TESTS

About

This repository hosts unit tests for riscv hypervisor extension.

Testing is done by executing bare metal applications, which set up the environment at different privilege levels, execute the testing code or trigger traps and check the execution results and processor status to determine if specific features of the target platform is compliant with the hypervisor extension specification.

Building

We assume that the RISC-V toolchain is installed and is added to the PATH.

Target platform

The target platform on which the test will run should be specified by setting the PLAT environment variables. And the platforms that are currently supported are shown in the table below:

Platform ${PLAT} Parameters
QEMU qemu
Rocket Chip Emulator rocket_emul
Rocket Chip FPGA rocket_fpga
Spike Emulator spike

Output level

The output level can be specified via the LOG_LEVEL environment variable (default is LOG_INFO).

Options include: LOG_NONE, LOG_ERROR, LOG_INFO, LOG_DETAIL, LOG_WARNING, LOG_VERBOSE, LOG_DEBUG

Compile

The build process is as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/josecm/riscv-hyp-tests
$ cd riscv-hyp-tests
$ PLAT=${target_platform} make

The compilation result is located at build/${target_platform}/rvh_test.elf or rvh_test.bin.

Run

scripts/run_on_spike.sh is a script to run on spike

Trouble-shooting

boot.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `csrwi sscratch,0xf'

We found that in higher versions of RISC-V gcc than gcc-10, instructions such as csrwi are grouped separately under the zicsr extension and need to be specified explicitly by appending zicsr string to the -march parameter of gcc.

additional relocation overflows omitted from the output or relocation truncated to fit: R_RISCV_HI20

Please check if the currently used RISC-V toolchain is configured with the --with-cmodel=medany parameter. This can be determined by executing command: riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc -v.

And look at the Configured with: ...... line in the output.
