According to the "Arm Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture
Specification GIC architecture version 3 and 4" (version G: page 345
for aarch64 or 509 for aarch32):
LRENP bit of ICH_MISR is set when ICH_HCR.LRENPIE==1 and
ICH_HCR.EOIcount is non-zero.

When only LRENPIE was set (and EOI count was zero), the LRENP bit was
wrongly set and MISR value was wrong.

As an additional consequence, if an hypervisor set ICH_HCR.LRENPIE,
the maintenance interrupt was constantly fired. It happens since patch
9cee1efe92 ("hw/intc: Set GIC maintenance interrupt level to only 0 or 1")
which fixed another bug about maintenance interrupt (most significant
bits of misr, including this one, were ignored in the interrupt trigger).

v2: identical resend because subject screw-up (sorry)

I won't try to put this into 6.2 unless you have a common guest
that runs into this bug.

thanks

I don't know if this fit into "common guest" but my use case is:

> ./build/qemu-system-aarch64 \
>     -machine virt,virtualization=on,gic-version=3,highmem=off  \
>     -cpu max -m size=4G -smp cpus=8 -nographic  \
>     -kernel hypvm.elf   \
>     -device loader,file=Image,addr=0x41080000  \
>     -device loader,file=virt_512M.dtb,addr=0x44200000

where Image is a buildroot compiled kernel and hypvm.elf is an hypervisor from qualcomm (https://github.com/quic/gunyah-hypervisor).

It boots fine on v6.0 or v6.1 but hangs on master.

It's the same hypervisor Brian is talking about.

Thanks,
Damien
