Fast-track extension proposal for H/W PTE A/D updating


Ved Shanbhogue
 

Greetings !

We are submitting for your consideration an extension for HW PTE A/D updating (Svadu) controls.

As you might recall the privileged specification defines two HW behaviors for PTE A/D bits if they are 0 when required to be 1:
- to cause a (guest) page fault
- to update the A and/or D bitsĀ 

This extension provides controls to select between the behaviors.

Please find the PDF and source here: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-svadu

Please add comments/issues in github or to this thread.

regards
ved
