I think of UD being orthogonal to this discussion. Firmware world | OS world | [UD, etc. ]---firmware builds-+->[ACPI/DT]--->OS

agreed. but it all starts with UD. we had every extension devising their own discovery mechanism and everyone agreed that was not the correct thing to do. We reduced UD this year to just ASN and

Unified DIscovery is expected to be used by firmware to populate DT and ACPI/UEFI tables. Philipp.

just a reminder that we should be moving to unified discovery during boot to feed everything. not isa strings. not csrs. -------- sent from a mobile device. please forgive any typos.

Hi, I'm top posting with some notes that Furquan helped me put together to cover the things we've been talking about. We may want to put these and future notes somewhere else (drive, github, etc) so

So domain is a new term which is not presently defined in the privileged specification or in the SBI specification. I think I get what you may be stating here i.e., M-mode may configure/ reconfigure

As this is a security feature we should require: The SBI MUST check that the full memory range is read-accessible by the caller. Here too we should make it clear if the SBI MUST or MAY check the

The term "supervisor-mode" over here means: * HS-mode or VS-mode on systems with H-extension * S-mode on systems without H-extension (Please see the introduction chapter of SBI specification) In
