memory: Directly dispatch alias accesses on origin memory region
Since commit 2cdfcf2 ("memory: assign MemoryRegionOps to all regions"), all newly created regions are assigned with unassigned_mem_ops (which might be then overwritten). When using aliased container regions, and there is no region mapped at address 0 in the container, the memory_region_dispatch_read() and memory_region_dispatch_write() calls incorrectly return the container unassigned_mem_ops, because the alias offset is not used. Consider the following setup: +--------------------+ < - - - - - - - - - - - + | Container | mr | (unassigned_mem) | | | | | | | | | alias_offset + + <- - - - - - +----------+---------+ | +----------------+ | | | | | MemoryRegion0 | | | | | +----------------+ | | Alias | addr1 | | MemoryRegion1 | | <~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | | <~~~~~~ | +----------------+ | | | | | +--------------------+ | | | | | | | | | +----------------+ | | | MemoryRegionX | | | +----------------+ | | | MemoryRegionY | | | +----------------+ | | | MemoryRegionZ | | | +----------------+ | +--------------------+ The memory_region_init_alias() flow is: memory_region_init_alias() -> memory_region_init() -> object_initialize(TYPE_MEMORY_REGION) -> memory_region_initfn() -> mr->ops = &unassigned_mem_ops; Later when accessing offset=addr1 via the alias, we expect to hit MemoryRegion1. The memory_region_dispatch_read() flow is: memory_region_dispatch_read(addr1) -> memory_region_access_valid(mr) <- addr1 offset is ignored -> mr->ops->valid.accepts() -> unassigned_mem_accepts() <- false <- false <- MEMTX_DECODE_ERROR The caller gets a MEMTX_DECODE_ERROR while the access is OK. Fix by dispatching aliases recursively, accessing its origin region after adding the alias offset.
