QEMU's NVIC device provides an outbound qemu_irq "SYSRESETREQ" which
it signals when the guest sets the SYSRESETREQ bit in the AIRCR
register. This matches the hardware design (where the CPU has a
signal of this name and it is up to the SoC to connect that up to an
actual reset mechanism), but in QEMU it mostly results in duplicated
code in SoC objects and bugs where SoC model implementors forget to
wire up the SYSRESETREQ line.
This patchseries provides a default behaviour for the case where
SYSRESETREQ is not actually connected to anything: use
qemu_system_reset_request() to perform a system reset. This is a
much more plausible default than "do nothing". It allows us to
allow us to remove the implementations of SYSRESETREQ handling from
the boards which currently hook up a reset function that just
does that (stellaris, emcraft-sf2), and also fixes the bugs
in these board models which forgot to wire up the signal:
* microbit
* mps2-an385
* mps2-an505
* mps2-an511
* mps2-an521
* musca-a
* musca-b1
* netduino
* netduinoplus2
[I admit that I have not specifically checked for datasheets
and errata notes for all these boards to confirm that AIRCR.SYSRESETREQ
really does reset the system or to look for more complex
reset-control logic... As an example, though, the SSE-200 used in
the mps2-an521 and the musca boards has a RESET_MASK register in the
system control block that allows a guest to suppress reset requests from
one or both CPUs. Since we don't model that register, "always reset"
is still closer to reasonable behaviour than "do nothing".]
We still allow the board to wire up the signal if it needs to, in case
we need to model more complicated reset controller logic (eg if we
wanted to get that SSE-200 corner case right in future) or to model
buggy SoC hardware which forgot to wire up the line itself. But
defaulting to "reset the system" is going to be correct much more
often than "do nothing".
Patch 1 introduces a new API for "check whether my qemu_irq is
actually connected to anything" (the test is trivial but the
encapsulation seems worthwhile); patch 2 provides the new default
and patch 3 removes the now-unnecessary SYSRESETREQ handlers in
board/SoC code.
