I am reading again risc-v spec, and it says here: https://docs.riscv.org/reference/isa/v20260120/priv/machine.html "M-mode can also be used to implement features that are too difficult or expensive to implement in hardware directly." I read it like the feature implemented in the M-mode trap considered "implemented". Thus in case of AMO emulated in M-mode, it should be considered "implemented" however slow. Indeed AMO instructions are executed correctly from the S/U modes standpoint. Program compiled with these instruction will not crash. It will run quite slow but correctly. So proper wording would be "slow ZAAMO" and not "unsupported ZAAMO" Is my interpretation of the spec correct? Also, you accepted patch set introducing this p8700 SoC with "A" marked as "implemented", here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261103-agent-lagging-d7fe1c9334f1@spud/ I will follow this direction, keeping "A" as "implemented" and offering choice to use faster atomics implementation for such system Thanks, Vladimir
