Why is this PR needed?
This adds deterministic regression coverage for a conservative CVA6 LSU false
4 KiB store-load alias corner case.
The store buffer compares address bits
[11:3]when checking dependencies.Accesses on different 4 KiB pages with the same page offset can therefore appear
dependent. This test verifies architectural correctness and forward progress in
that situation.
This is verification coverage only. It does not identify an RTL bug or claim a
performance regression.
What changed?
Added the directed
false_4k_aliastest and registered it intestlist_custom.yaml.The test:
page_b + 0x18with a sentinel.page_a + 0x18.page_b + 0x18.page_b.The addresses intentionally share address bits
[11:3].Verification
