[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: Load Monitor Register Support

Jack Miller jack at codezen.org
Tue Apr 19 05:08:01 AEST 2016


This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in
userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction)
loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a
new FSCR bit, LM.

This patch disables the control bit on CPU setup and enables that bit
when a facility unavailable exception is taken for using it. On context
switch, this bit is then used to determine whether the two relevant
registers are saved and restored. This is done lazily for performance
reasons.
