Introduction to LoongArch
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
LoongArch is a new RISC ISA, which is a bit like MIPS or RISC-V. There are
|
|
currently 3 variants: a reduced 32-bit version (LA32R), a standard 32-bit
|
|
version (LA32S) and a 64-bit version (LA64). There are 4 privilege levels
|
|
(PLVs) defined in LoongArch: PLV0~PLV3, from high to low. Kernel runs at PLV0
|
|
while applications run at PLV3. This document introduces the registers, basic
|
|
instruction set, virtual memory and some other topics of LoongArch.
|
|
|
|
Registers
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
LoongArch registers include general purpose registers (GPRs), floating point
|
|
registers (FPRs), vector registers (VRs) and control status registers (CSRs)
|
|
used in privileged mode (PLV0).
|
|
|
|
GPRs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
LoongArch has 32 GPRs ( ``$r0`` ~ ``$r31`` ); each one is 32-bit wide in LA32
|
|
and 64-bit wide in LA64. ``$r0`` is hard-wired to zero, and the other registers
|
|
are not architecturally special. (Except ``$r1``, which is hard-wired as the
|
|
link register of the BL instruction.)
|
|
|
|
The kernel uses a variant of the LoongArch register convention, as described in
|
|
the LoongArch ELF psABI spec, in :ref:`References <loongarch-references>`:
|

|

``$r3`` ``$sp`` Stack pointer Yes
|

|
|
``$r12``-``$r20`` ``$t0``-``$t8`` Temp registers No
|
|
``$r21`` ``$u0`` Percpu base address Unused
|
|
``$r22`` ``$fp`` Frame pointer Yes
|
|
``$r23``-``$r31`` ``$s0``-``$s8`` Static registers Yes
|
|
================= =============== =================== ============
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
The register ``$r21`` is reserved in the ELF psABI, but used by the Linux
|
|
kernel for storing the percpu base address. It normally has no ABI name,
|
|
but is called ``$u0`` in the kernel. You may also see ``$v0`` or ``$v1``
|
|
in some old code,however they are deprecated aliases of ``$a0`` and ``$a1``
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
FPRs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
LoongArch has 32 FPRs ( ``$f0`` ~ ``$f31`` ) when FPU is present. Each one is
|
|
64-bit wide on the LA64 cores.
|
|
|
|
The floating-point register convention is the same as described in the
|
|
LoongArch ELF psABI spec:
|
|
|
|

``$f8``-``$f23`` ``$ft0``-``$ft15`` Temp registers No
|
|
``$f24``-``$f31`` ``$fs0``-``$fs7`` Static registers Yes
|
|
================= ================== =================== ============
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
You may see ``$fv0`` or ``$fv1`` in some old code, however they are
|
|
deprecated aliases of ``$fa0`` and ``$fa1`` respectively.
|
|
|
|
VRs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
There are currently 2 vector extensions to LoongArch:
|
|
|
|
- LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension) with 128-bit vectors,
|
|
- LASX (Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension) with 256-bit vectors.
|
|
|
|
LSX brings ``$v0`` ~ ``$v31`` while LASX brings ``$x0`` ~ ``$x31`` as the vector
|
|
registers.
|
|
|
|
The VRs overlap with FPRs: for example, on a core implementing LSX and LASX,
|
|
the lower 128 bits of ``$x0`` is shared with ``$v0``, and the lower 64 bits of
|
|
``$v0`` is shared with ``$f0``; same with all other VRs.
|
|
|
|
CSRs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
CSRs can only be accessed from privileged mode (PLV0):

-------------------
|
|
|
|
LoongArch instructions are 32 bits wide, belonging to 9 basic instruction
|
|
formats (and variants of them):

Rd is the destination register operand, while Rj, Rk and Ra ("a" stands for
|
|
"additional") are the source register operands. I8/I12/I14/I16/I21/I26 are
|
|
immediate operands of respective width. The longer I21 and I26 are stored
|
|
in separate higher and lower parts in the instruction word, denoted by the "L"
|
|
and "H" suffixes.

Virtual Memory
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
LoongArch supports direct-mapped virtual memory and page-mapped virtual memory.
|
|
|
|
Direct-mapped virtual memory is configured by CSR.DMWn (n=0~3), it has a simple
|
|
relationship between virtual address (VA) and physical address (PA)::
|
|
|
|
VA = PA + FixedOffset
|
|
|
|
Page-mapped virtual memory has arbitrary relationship between VA and PA, which
|
|
is recorded in TLB and page tables. LoongArch's TLB includes a fully-associative
|
|
MTLB (Multiple Page Size TLB) and set-associative STLB (Single Page Size TLB).
|
|
|
|
By default, the whole virtual address space of LA32 is configured like this:
|
|
|
|
============ =========================== =============================
|
|
Name Address Range Attributes
|
|
============ =========================== =============================
|
|
``UVRANGE`` ``0x00000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF`` Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0~3
|
|
``KPRANGE0`` ``0x80000000 - 0x9FFFFFFF`` Direct-mapped, Uncached, PLV0
|
|
``KPRANGE1`` ``0xA0000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF`` Direct-mapped, Cached, PLV0
|
|
``KVRANGE`` ``0xC0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF`` Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0
|
|
============ =========================== =============================
|
|
|
|
User mode (PLV3) can only access UVRANGE. For direct-mapped KPRANGE0 and
|
|
KPRANGE1, PA is equal to VA with bit30~31 cleared. For example, the uncached
|
|
direct-mapped VA of 0x00001000 is 0x80001000, and the cached direct-mapped
|
|
VA of 0x00001000 is 0xA0001000.
|
|
|
|
By default, the whole virtual address space of LA64 is configured like this:
|
|
|
|
============ ====================== ======================================
|
|
Name Address Range Attributes
|
|
============ ====================== ======================================
|
|
``XUVRANGE`` ``0x0000000000000000 - Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0~3
|
|
0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
|
|
``XSPRANGE`` ``0x4000000000000000 - Direct-mapped, Cached / Uncached, PLV0
|
|
0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
|
|
``XKPRANGE`` ``0x8000000000000000 - Direct-mapped, Cached / Uncached, PLV0
|
|
0xBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
|
|
``XKVRANGE`` ``0xC000000000000000 - Page-mapped, Cached, PLV0
|
|
0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF``
|
|
============ ====================== ======================================
|
|
|
|
User mode (PLV3) can only access XUVRANGE. For direct-mapped XSPRANGE and
|
|
XKPRANGE, PA is equal to VA with bits 60~63 cleared, and the cache attribute
|
|
is configured by bits 60~61 in VA: 0 is for strongly-ordered uncached, 1 is
|
|
for coherent cached, and 2 is for weakly-ordered uncached.
|
|
|
|
Currently we only use XKPRANGE for direct mapping and XSPRANGE is reserved.
|
|
|
|
To put this in action: the strongly-ordered uncached direct-mapped VA (in
|
|
XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000_00001000 is 0x80000000_00001000, the coherent cached
|
|
direct-mapped VA (in XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000_00001000 is 0x90000000_00001000,
|
|
and the weakly-ordered uncached direct-mapped VA (in XKPRANGE) of 0x00000000
|
|
_00001000 is 0xA0000000_00001000.
|
|
|
|
Relationship of Loongson and LoongArch
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
LoongArch is a RISC ISA which is different from any other existing ones, while
|
|
Loongson is a family of processors. Loongson includes 3 series: Loongson-1 is
|
|
the 32-bit processor series, Loongson-2 is the low-end 64-bit processor series,
|
|
and Loongson-3 is the high-end 64-bit processor series. Old Loongson is based on
|
|
MIPS, while New Loongson is based on LoongArch. Take Loongson-3 as an example:
|
|
Loongson-3A1000/3B1500/3A2000/3A3000/3A4000 are MIPS-compatible, while Loongson-
|
|
3A5000 (and future revisions) are all based on LoongArch.
