In BE8 mode only data accesses big-endian, code fetches are still little-endian. In BE32 mode both code and data are big-endian. In theory a fourth mode (big-endian code, little-endian data) exists, though I've never seen that used. All the v7 cores QEMU currently supports[1] only implement BE8 mode. The IE bit is reserved and most be zero. Usermode emulation implements both, but the privileged cp15 registers can safely be ignored there. Paul [1] Except maybe the M profile cores, but they use a different system model anyway.

You say that BE32 means data and instruction in big-endian and BE8 only data in big-endian. And this is confirmed by Peter's article : (http://translatedcode.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/this-end-up/). For me there's two different things: - big-endian kind: BE32 or BE8 - endianness of data/instruction Is it possible to have both data and instruction in BE8? Now in the ARMv7 ARM chapter A3.3.2: "Instruction endianness static configuration, ARMv7-R only To provide support for legacy big-endian object code, the ARMv7-R profile supports optional byte order reversal hardware as a static option from reset. The ARMv7-R profile includes a read-only bit in the CP15 Control Register, SCTLR.IE, bit [31]. For more information, see c1, System Control Register (SCTLR) on page B4-45." Since it is a legacy support, I would imagine that SCTLR.IE means BE32 access for instructions. Is that right? > All the v7 cores QEMU currently supports[1] only implement BE8 mode.

It's wrong because you're setting IE for all v6 and v7 cores in bigendian mode, when IE is only valid for R profile cores. To correctly emulate a bigendian v6/v7 non-R profile core you would need to arrange for the bswap_code flag to be set (which then causes us to re-byte-swap code accesses to undo the endianness flip that TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN would otherwise give us). I suspect that what you actually want is: * sctlr bit IE is read-only, and set to 0 or 1 according to the sctlr reset value defined for the CPU type * the bswap_code flag is set to 1 if TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN && SCTLR.IE == 0) but that's just off the top of my head so might be wrong. >> The ARM architecture defines two big-endian modes.

No. It is supporting legacy code; it is not itself a legacy feature. IE + BE8 (data) looks very very similar to BE32 from the point of view of code on the CPU; it is code that expects a BE32 kind of view of the world that is the legacy code being supported. >> All the v7 cores QEMU currently supports[1] only implement BE8 mode.

It will effectively behave kind of like a BE32 (word invariant, swaps both code and data) system; you won't be able to tell the difference between that and the BE8+SCTLR.IE system you're trying to emulate, except for accesses to word-width registers on device models. That needs thought to make sure the changes are actually coherent. -- PMM

True, but since we only support fixed endian cores we can just have the CPU type set the reset value according to TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN. (Having boards fiddle with CPU config is not something we have the qemu infrastructure for just yet.) >> IE + BE8 (data) looks very very similar to BE32 from the point of view >> of code on the CPU; it is code that expects a BE32 kind of view of >> the world that is the legacy code being supported. >> > > That's what I fail to understand, why IE + BE8 (data) gives a legacy > BE32 view? Because the only way to tell the difference between BE32 and BE8 is if you have two views of the data in memory, so you can tell whether it's the byte accesses that are getting flipped or the word accesses. Those two views could be: * via the Iside vs the Dside [but with IE enabled both get flipped] * by switching the core between BE and LE [you can't on R profile] * by using another core which is LE [there is none] * by looking at what peripheral devices see when you write words to them [the legacy code is assumed not to have direct dev access, or you could design your board so it looks like what the code expects] >>> When I build my qemu-system-armeb, in what mode is it (BE8, BE32, data >>> and/or instruction in big-endian)? >> >> It will effectively behave kind of like a BE32 (word invariant, swaps >> both code and data) system; you won't be able to tell the difference >> between that and the BE8+SCTLR.IE system you're trying to emulate, >> except for accesses to word-width registers on device models. >> That needs thought to make sure the changes are actually coherent. >> > > So the current behavior of qemu-system-armeb is BE8+IE, therefore not > compatible with any non R profile ARMv6/7. Well, the current behaviour is nothing at all since we don't actually build it. In enabling it, you have to ensure that the behaviour you enable makes sense. -- PMM

It looks similar to legacy BE32 because both instruction and data use the same byte order. From the code point of view it's the same, but in fact the data in RAM are different. >>>> When I build my qemu-system-armeb, in what mode is it (BE8, BE32, data >>>> and/or instruction in big-endian)? >>> >>> It will effectively behave kind of like a BE32 (word invariant, swaps >>> both code and data) system; you won't be able to tell the difference >>> between that and the BE8+SCTLR.IE system you're trying to emulate, >>> except for accesses to word-width registers on device models. >>> That needs thought to make sure the changes are actually coherent. >>> >> >> So the current behavior of qemu-system-armeb is BE8+IE, therefore not >> compatible with any non R profile ARMv6/7. > > Well, the current behaviour is nothing at all since we don't > actually build it.

In the 3 devices I implemented (Memory region in DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN), I had no byte ordering problems. Regards,
