Unsupported Exclusive or Atomic access exception

John K

Hi,

I am receiving an Unsupported Exclusive or Atomic access exception when dereferencing a capability. The ESR value is: 96000035. The same code works fine on bare metal, but under a hypervisor (bhyve) it fails with this exception.

My question is: what does this exception actually mean?

    It sounds like your code is performing an atomic memory operation on device memory? Perhaps by running without firmware on top of bhyve you're missing initialisation of MAIR_EL1 (resets to UNKNOWN, which bhyve implements as 0)?
