Subject: [PATCH] target/ppc: Implement ISA v3.1 wait variants
Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 12:46:51 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210517024651.2200837-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

ISA v3.1 adds new variations of wait, specified by the WC field. These
are not compatible with the wait 0 implementation, because they add
additional conditions that cause the processor to resume, which can
cause software to hang or run very slowly.

Add the new wait variants with a trivial no-op implementation, which is
allowed, as explained in comments: software must not depend on any
particular architected WC condition having caused resumption of
execution, therefore a no-op implementation is architecturally correct.

Implementing cpu_relax() in Linux with wait 2,0 (pause_short) causes a
hang on boot without this patch.
