powerpc/xmon: Use `dcbf` inplace of `dcbi` instruction for 64bit Book3S
Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction implemented back in PowerPC architecture version 2.03. But as per Power Processor Users Manual it is obsolete and not supported by POWER8/POWER9 core. Attempt to use of this illegal instruction results in a hypervisor emulation assistance interrupt. So, ifdef it out the option `i` in xmon for 64bit Book3S. 0:mon> fi cpu 0x0: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000003be74a0] pc: c000000000102030: cacheflush+0x180/0x1a0 lr: c000000000101f3c: cacheflush+0x8c/0x1a0 sp: c000000003be7730 msr: 8000000000081033 current = 0xc0000000035e5c00 paca = 0xc000000001910000 irqmask: 0x03 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 1025, comm = bash Linux version 5.6.0-rc5-g5aa19adac (root@ltc-wspoon6) (gcc version 7.4.0 (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1)) #1 SMP Tue Mar 10 04:38:41 CDT 2020 cpu 0x0: Exception 700 (Program Check) in xmon, returning to main loop [c000000003be7c50] c00000000084abb0 __handle_sysrq+0xf0/0x2a0 [c000000003be7d00] c00000000084b3c0 write_sysrq_trigger+0xb0/0xe0 [c000000003be7d30] c0000000004d1edc proc_reg_write+0x8c/0x130 [c000000003be7d60] c00000000040dc7c __vfs_write+0x3c/0x70 [c000000003be7d80] c000000000410e70 vfs_write+0xd0/0x210 [c000000003be7dd0] c00000000041126c ksys_write+0xdc/0x130 [c000000003be7e20] c00000000000b9d0 system_call+0x5c/0x68 --- Exception: c01 (System Call) at 00007fffa345e420 SP (7ffff0b08ab0) is in userspace Signed-off-by: Balamuruhan S <bala24@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200330075954.538773-1-bala24@linux.ibm.com
