      powerpc: Handle most loads and stores in instruction emulation code · 350779a2
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This extends the instruction emulation infrastructure in sstep.c to
handle all the load and store instructions defined in the Power ISA
v3.0, except for the atomic memory operations, ldmx (which was never
implemented), lfdp/stfdp, and the vector element load/stores.

The instructions added are:

Integer loads and stores: lbarx, lharx, lqarx, stbcx., sthcx., stqcx.,
lq, stq.

VSX loads and stores: lxsiwzx, lxsiwax, stxsiwx, lxvx, lxvl, lxvll,
lxvdsx, lxvwsx, stxvx, stxvl, stxvll, lxsspx, lxsdx, stxsspx, stxsdx,
lxvw4x, lxsibzx, lxvh8x, lxsihzx, lxvb16x, stxvw4x, stxsibx, stxvh8x,
stxsihx, stxvb16x, lxsd, lxssp, lxv, stxsd, stxssp, stxv.

These instructions are handled both in the analyse_instr phase and in
the emulate_step phase.

The code for lxvd2ux and stxvd2ux has been taken out, as those
instructions were never implemented in any processor and have been
taken out of the architecture, and their opcodes have been reused for
other instructions in POWER9 (lxvb16x and stxvb16x).

The emulation for the VSX loads and stores uses helper functions
which don't access registers or memory directly, which can hopefully
be reused by KVM later.

      powerpc: Don't check MSR FP/VMX/VSX enable bits in analyse_instr() · ee0a54d7
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This removes the checks for the FP/VMX/VSX enable bits in the MSR
from analyse_instr() and adds them to emulate_step() instead.

The reason for this is that we may want to use analyse_instr() in
a situation where the FP/VMX/VSX register values are stored in the
current thread_struct and the FP/VMX/VSX enable bits in the MSR
image in the pt_regs are zero.  Since analyse_instr() doesn't make
any changes to register state, it is reasonable for it to indicate
what the effect of an instruction would be even though the relevant
enable bit is off.

      powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs · 3cdfcbfd
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

The analyse_instr function currently doesn't just work out what an
instruction does, it also executes those instructions whose effect
is only to update CPU registers that are stored in struct pt_regs.
This is undesirable because optprobes uses analyse_instr to work out
if an instruction could be successfully emulated in future.

This changes analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs; instead it
stores information in the instruction_op structure to indicate what
registers (GPRs, CR, XER, LR) would be set and what value they would
be set to.  A companion function called emulate_update_regs() can
then use that information to update a pt_regs struct appropriately.

As a minor cleanup, this replaces inline asm using the cntlzw and
cntlzd instructions with calls to __builtin_clz() and __builtin_clzl().
