fixes a longstanding bug which causes a "Nonparity Synchronous Error"
kernel panic while using a debugger on Solaris / SunOS systems. The panic
would occur on the first attempt to single-step the process.
The problem stems from an lda instruction on ASI_USERTXT (8). This asi
was not being resolved correctly by resolve_asi().
Further details can be found in #2281

I don't believe this is correct, because it operates against the page's "read" permissions
instead of "execute" permissions.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your guidance. It set me in the right direction. Now I
think I've got the right spot.
function `helper_ld_asi` has a block to help load ASI_KERNELTXT, but the
ASI_USERTXT case defaults to sparc_raise_mmu_fault(); I believe this
is the true culprit
source reference:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/target/sparc/ldst_helper.c?ref_type=heads#L687
The code for the ASI_KERNELTXT seems generic enough to also use for
ASI_USERTXT verbatim.
See v2 patch below. I've done a `make test` -- all passing (3 skips).
OS boots, and the
debuggers are working without issue. What do you think?
Once we arrive at the right solution, I'll finalize the patch.

No, this also does not work, because it uses the wrong permissions (kernel instead of
user). I have just sent a patch to fix both problems.

I have just sent a patch to fix both problems. This thought just came to me. `lda` is a privileged instruction. It has to run in supervisor mode. So, I'm struggling to understand how the kernel permission was wrong. Isn't that the right permission for this instruction? I just want to have the right understanding, so that I'm more prepared for the next time. Here is a related excerpt from the Sparcv8 manual: "For each instruction access and each normal data access, the IU appends to the 32-bit memory address an 8-bit address space identifier, or ASI. The ASI encodes whether the processor is in supervisor or user mode, and whether the access is an instruction or data access. There are also privileged load/store alternate instructions (see below) that can provide an arbitrary ASI with their data addresses." Thank you, -bazz > > > r~

The "current" permission, as computed by

> - oi = make_memop_idx(memop, cpu_mmu_index(env_cpu(env), true));
was correct for ASI_KERNELTXT, because as you say "lda" is a supervisor-only instruction
prior to sparcv9.
However, using the same value for ASI_USERTXT would be incorrect. For ASI_USERTXT and
ASI_USERDATA (and the new names for sparcv9, ASI_AIU*, "as-if user"), we need permissions
for the user context.
That's what

this is for in my patch. This gets passed into the helper,

Unfortunately, we do not have any good documentation for tcg softmmu or the intended role
of the mmu_idx. Partly that's due to the final use of the mmu_idx is target-specific.
For sparc32, there are 3 mmu_idx:
> #define MMU_USER_IDX 0
> #define MMU_KERNEL_IDX 1
> #define MMU_PHYS_IDX 2
The interpretation of mmu_idx happens in target/sparc/mmu_helper.c, get_physical_address
(note there are two versions, for sparc32 and sparc64).
Ignoring MMU_PHYS_IDX, which is handled early, the difference between kernel and user is
is_user = mmu_idx == MMU_USER_IDX;
...
full->prot = perm_table[is_user][access_perms];
This controls the read/write/execute permissions for the page. Note that perm_table
matches the Access Allowed table on page 248 of the Sparc V8 architecture manual.

Hi Henry,
I want to thank you for every chance I get to learn from you. Each

I noticed that cpu_mmu_index() would have returned MMU_USER_IDX
if the supervisor bit hadn't happened to be set (not sure if this
execution path can
occur for lda). Note that this check is gone in your patch.
I consider you my sensei, so while I'm confident in your work I also
want to show
the things I catch.
If I understand everything you've taught me, then the following patch would
have also satisfied the permissions issue. Could you confirm this please?
The essential change is the MMU_USER_IDX in the call to make_memop_idx()

I love learning from code, but the lack of documentation definitely
increases the value of your
discourse with me.

No, it cannot.

Correct. Since 'lda' has already checked that supervisor mode has been enabled, the
translator may jump directly to the desired result of MMU_KERNEL_IDX.
