There is a confusion on whether the values of a feature are signed
or not in ARM. This is not clearly mentioned in the ARM ARM either.
We have dealt most of the bits as signed so far, and marked the
rest as unsigned explicitly. This fixed in ARM ARM and will be rolled
out soon.
Here is the criteria in a nutshell:
1) The fields, which are either signed or unsigned, use increasing
numerical values to indicate an increase in functionality. Thus, if a value
of 0x1 indicates the presence of some instructions, then the 0x2 value will
indicate the presence of those instructions plus some additional instructions
or functionality.
2) For ID field values where the value 0x0 defines that a feature is not present,
the number is an unsigned value.
3) For some features where the feature was made optional or removed after the
start of the definition of the architecture, the value 0x0 is used to
indicate the presence of a feature, and 0xF indicates the absence of the
feature. In these cases, the fields are, in effect, holding signed values.
So with these rules applied, we have only the following fields which are signed and
the rest are unsigned.
a) ID_AA64PFR0_EL1: {FP, ASIMD}
b) ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1: {TGran4K, TGran64K}
c) ID_AA64DFR0_EL1: PMUVer (0xf - PMUv3 not implemented)
d) ID_DFR0_EL1: PerfMon
e) ID_MMFR0_EL1: {InnerShr, OuterShr}
