[PATCH v5 2/3] powerpc: Load Monitor Register Support

Michael Neuling mikey at neuling.org
Fri May 6 12:30:21 AEST 2016


From: Jack Miller <jack at codezen.org>

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 FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables
that bit when a load monitor 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.
