Public bug reported: Affects 3.1.0 (latest stable release) and latest commit (893dc8300c80e3dc32f31e968cf7aa0904da50c3) but did *not* affect 2.11 (qemu from bionic ubuntu LTS).
With the following code and shell commands: test.s: .text mov x0, #0x60000000 msr vbar_el2, x0 dsb sy isb sy $ aarch64-none-elf-as test.s -o test.o $ aarch64-none-elf-objcopy -S -O binary test.o test.bin $ qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic -machine virt,virtualization=on -cpu cortex-a57 -kernel test.bin -s -S vbar_el2 is still 0 after the code, instead of being the expected 0x60000000. (see screenshot). This regression doesn't seem to happen for vbar_el1 & virtualization=off. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "gdb screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838277/+attachment/5279820/+files/vbar.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838277 Title: qemu-system-aarch64: regression: msr vbar_el2, xN not working in EL2 Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Affects 3.1.0 (latest stable release) and latest commit (893dc8300c80e3dc32f31e968cf7aa0904da50c3) but did *not* affect 2.11 (qemu from bionic ubuntu LTS).
