[PATCH V4 07/13] selftests, powerpc: Add test for explicitly changing DSCR value

Mon May 18 20:56:10 AEST 2015


This patch adds a test which modifies the DSCR using mtspr instruction
and verifies the change using mfspr instruction. It uses both the
privilege state SPR as well as the problem state SPR for the purpose.
