sip

Supervisor Interrupt Pending

A restricted view of the interrupt pending bits in mip.

Hypervisor-related interrupts (VS-mode interrupts and Supervisor Guest interrupts) are not reflected in sip even though those interrupts can be taken in HS-mode. Instead, they are reported through hip.

Description

Supervisor Software Interrupt Pending

Reports the current pending state of an (H)S-mode software interrupt.

When Supervisor Software Interrupts are not delegated to (H)S-mode (mideleg.SSI is clear), sip.SSIP is read-only 0.

Otherwise, sip.SSIP is an alias of mip.SSIP.

<%- if ext?(:Smaia) -%> When using AIA/IMSIC, IPIs are expected to be delivered as external interrupts and SSIP is not backed by any hardware update (aside from any aliasing effects).

However, SSIP is still writable by S-mode software and, when written, can be used to generate an S-mode Software Interrupt. <%- end -%>

Since it is an alias, writes to sip.SSIP are also be reflected in mip.SSIP<% if ext?(:Smaia) %> and mvip.SSIP<% end %>.

Description

Supervisor Timer Interrupt Pending

Reports the current pending state of an (H)S-mode timer interrupt.

When Supervisor Timer Interrupts are not delegated to (H)S-mode (i.e., mideleg.STI is clear), sip.STIP is read-only 0.

Otherwise, sip.STIP is a read-only view of mip.STIP.

Description

Supervisor External Interrupt Pending

Reports the current pending state of an (H)S-mode external interrupt.

When Supervisor External Interrupts are not delegated to (H)S-mode (i.e., mideleg.SEI is clear), sip.SEIP is read-only 0.

Otherwise, sip.SEIP is a read-only view of mip.SEIP.

Description

Local Counter Overflow Interrupt pending

Reports the current pending state of a Local Counter Overflow interrupt.

When Local Counter Overflow interrupts are not delegated to (H)S-mode (i.e., mideleg.LCOFI is clear), sip.LCOFIP is read-only 0.

Otherwise, sip.LCOFIP is an alias of mip.LCOFIP.
