Hi Anup

I have tried this patchset, but have problems starting the kvm on host linux.
Both Qemu and Spike are unable to run kvm.

1. Qemu: have the following error when starting kvm.

[   17.877101] Run /init as init process
[  217.908013] kvm [61]: VCPU exit error -14
[  217.908577] kvm [61]: SEPC=0x7e86a SSTATUS=0x4020 HSTATUS=0x200200080
[  217.909626] kvm [61]: SCAUSE=0x2 STVAL=0x20866633 HTVAL=0x0 HTINST=0x0
KVM_RUN failed: Bad address

2. Spike: Stop at this line when starting kvm.

[    1.116675] sit: IPv6, IPv4 and MPLS over IPv4 tunneling driver
[    1.120875] NET: Registered PF_PACKET protocol family
[    1.123830] 9pnet: Installing 9P2000 support
[    1.127935] Key type dns_resolver registered
[    1.130390] debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable         ]:
Validating architecture page table helpers

These are the git repo that I'm using:
Linux: https://github.com/avpatel/linux/tree/riscv_kvm_v20
Qemu: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git  (master branch)
Spike: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-sim.git (master branch)
kvm-tool: https//github.com/avpatel/kvmtool.git

Any other things that need to be updated to make it work?

Note, previous v19 patchset is okay.

Ley Foon
