[PATCH v8 28/30] powerpc: Support prefixed instructions in alignment handler

Jordan Niethe jniethe5 at gmail.com
Wed May 6 13:40:48 AEST 2020


If a prefixed instruction results in an alignment exception, the
SRR1_PREFIXED bit is set. The handler attempts to emulate the
responsible instruction and then increment the NIP past it. Use
SRR1_PREFIXED to determine by how much the NIP should be incremented.

Prefixed instructions are not permitted to cross 64-byte boundaries. If
they do the alignment interrupt is invoked with SRR1 BOUNDARY bit set.
If this occurs send a SIGBUS to the offending process if in user mode.
If in kernel mode call bad_page_fault().

v2: - Move __get_user_instr() and __get_user_instr_inatomic() to this
commit (previously in "powerpc sstep: Prepare to support prefixed
instructions").
    - Rename sufx to suffix
    - Use a macro for calculating instruction length
v3: Move __get_user_{instr(), instr_inatomic()} up with the other
get_user definitions and remove nested if.
v4: Rolled into "Add prefixed instructions to instruction data type"
v5: Only one definition of inst_length()
