Very meaningful work. Thank you for mentioning the known issue. We also have a command-line tool, hvisor-tool, which depends on Linux, so we probably won't end up using Asterinas as the first zone, i.e., zone0. So it would be perfect if Asterinas were running in Zone 1. I have some suggestions.

Thanks @liulog for the meaningful feedback! I've restructured the PR per your suggestions. Changes in latest update
About known bugsI'll open separate issues for the known bugs (e.g., guest page fault when vtvec=0) and submit PRs for them independently, as you suggested. Next stepsI'm working on verifying the zone1 launch flow via hvisor-tool from zone0. The SBI extensions and trap handling in this PR provide the foundation for Asterinas to run in any zone.

Thank you for your efforts. Let me introduce We can interact with Since the RISC-V version of hvisor-tool does not yet support loading initrd files, I mentioned that the initramfs can be loaded via QEMU parameters for the time being. If you wish, you can try modifying hvisor-tool to add initramfs loading; since similar work has already been done for x86, this should be straightforward to get started with. Additionally, if possible, you can post some test results in this conversation. |

Add SBI DBCN/SRST extension handlers, guest trap recovery, and zone1 configuration for booting Asterinas OS as a non-root guest on hvisor. Changes: - sbi.rs: Add SBI Debug Console (DBCN) and System Reset (SRST) handlers for guest SBI calls. DBCN writes directly to UART hardware to avoid recursive traps. SRST delegates to sbi_rt for system reset. - trap.rs: Handle instruction guest page faults when guest vtvec=0 (e.g., timer interrupt before guest sets up trap vector). Disable VSTIMECMP and resume from VSEPC to recover. - cpu.rs: Enable HENVCFG ADUE (bit 61) for SVADU hardware A/D bit updates, and HSTATUS SPVTW (bit 56) to trap guest satp writes. - platform.mk: Add conditional QEMU initramfs loader (only when file exists) for zone1. Kernel and DTB are loaded via hvisor-tool. - zone1-asterinas.json: hvisor-tool zone config using modules array for initramfs loading (per maintainer feedback). - zone1-asterinas.dts: Device tree with PLIC, UART, virtio-mmio, reserved memory for opensbi+hvisor, dtb, and initramfs. - Makefile: Add fmt-test and fmt targets. - .gitignore: Add *.cpio.gz and *.cpio patterns. Tested: hvisor boots zone0 Linux successfully on QEMU riscv64 with SBI DBCN/SRST extensions detected. Asterinas RISC-V binary built successfully with cargo-osdk.
