[RISCV] Allow access to FP CSRs without F extension
ClosedPublic

Authored by apazos on Mar 4 2019, 3:38 PM.

Details

Summary

Floating-point CSRs should be accessible even when F extension is not enabled.
But pseudo instructions that access floating point CSRs still require the F extension.
GNU tools already implement this behavior.
RISC-V spec is pending update to reflect this behavior and to extend it to pseudo instructions that access floating point CSRs.

The behaviour I'm seeing with a recent-ish GCC toolchain is that the floating points CSR names are accepted regardless of -march, but the pseudoinstructions (e.g. frcsr) require the F extension to be enabled.

OK, I can restrict the patch to access CSR names and value range without F extension, while we wait GCC and the RISC-V specs to be updated.

Leaving pseudo instructions that access FP CSRs untouched for now.
