2014-09-25	powerpc: Emulate icbi, mcrf and conditional-trap instructions	Paul Mackerras	1	-0/+1
	This extends the instruction emulation done by analyse_instr() and emulate_step() to handle a few more instructions that are found in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2014-09-25	powerpc: Split out instruction analysis part of emulate_step()	Paul Mackerras	1	-0/+61
	This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction, but doesn't execute any load or store instructions. It does execute integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by updating register values in the pt_regs struct. For other instructions, it returns the instruction type and other details in a new instruction_op struct. emulate_step() then uses that information to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and (on 64-bit) sc instructions. The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead of having its own separate instruction emulation code. Possibly the alignment interrupt handler could also use this.

2008-08-04	powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm	Stephen Rothwell	1	-0/+27
	from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
