Month: 2024-11 focused on clarifying critical virtualization semantics in the riscv/riscv-cheri repo. The primary deliverable was documentation that clearly defines vstid and vstidc semantics in virtual supervisor mode, including substitution for stid/stidc when V=1 and the behavior/impact when V=0. This reduces ambiguity for developers integrating with virtualized environments and mitigates misuse risk during implementation and reviews. Key contributions and impact: - Clear, actionable documentation for vstid/vstidc in virtual supervisor mode, aligned with existing RISCV/CHERI virtualization semantics. - Precise guidance on behavior when V=1 (substitution for stid/stidc) and V=0 (behavior and limits) to avoid incorrect register usage in critical code paths. - Single, auditable commit tying code guidance to repository history: f61d3b01c519550f548024ceb515189f38776481. - Improved onboarding and code review efficiency for contributors working on virtualization features. - Demonstrated documentation best practices, cross-referencing with repository guidelines and existing specs.
