[PATCH v3 1/2] powerpc: Emulation support for load/store instructions on LE

Ravi Bangoria ravi.bangoria at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Feb 14 20:16:42 AEDT 2017


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.
