The other part looks good. Yet, would you mind sharing the location
that defines this 0x6 explicitly?
I am looking at DDI0487K, directed from 13.1.6 in SMMU RM and its
Reference:
[2] Arm Architecture Reference Manual for A-profile architecture.
(ARM DDI 0487) Arm Ltd.
Where it has the followings in D8.6.6:
"For stage 2 translations, if FEAT_MTE_PERM is not implemented, then
FEAT_S2FWB has all of the following effects on the MemAttr[3:2] bits:
- MemAttr[3] is RES0.
- The value of MemAttr[2] determines the interpretation of the
MemAttr[1:0] bits.
For stage 2 translations, if FEAT_MTE_PERM is implemented, then
MemAttr[3] is not RES0 and all bits of MemAttr[3:0] determine the
memory region type and Cacheability attributes.
For stage 2 translations, if FEAT_MTE_PERM is implemented, then all
of the following values of MemAttr[3:2] apply:
- 0b10 is Reserved.
- All other values determine the interpretation of the MemAttr[1:0]
bits.
For stage 2 translations, if MemAttr[2] is 0, or if FEAT_MTE_PERM is
implemented and MemAttr[3:2] is 0b00, then the MemAttr[1:0] bits
define Device memory attributes as shown in the following table:"
So, MemAttr[3:2] seems to be 00b or 10b depending on FEAT_MTE_PERM,
either of which would never result in 0x6?
Thanks
Nicolin
