[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Emulation support for load/store instructions on LE

Ravi Bangoria ravi.bangoria at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Wed Nov 2 19:53:01 AEDT 2016


emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were
initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix
emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions.
