Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 1/5] powerpc/sstep: Emulate prefixed instructions only when CPU_FTR_ARCH_31 is set

Hi,
To review this, I looked through the supported instructions to see if
there were any that I thought might have been missed.
I didn't find any other v3.1 ones, although I don't have a v3.1 ISA to
hand so I was basically looking for instructions I didn't recognise.
I did, however, find a number of instructions that are new in ISA 3.0
that aren't guarded:
- addpcis
- lxvl/stxvl
- lxvll/stxvll
- lxvwsx
- stxvx
- lxsipzx
- lxvh8x
- lxsihzx
- lxvb16x/stxvb16x
- stxsibx
- stxsihx
- lxvb16x
- lxsd/stxsd
- lxssp/stxssp
- lxv/stxv
Also, I don't know how bothered we are about P7, but if I'm reading the
ISA correctly, lqarx/stqcx. are not supported before ISA 2.07. Likewise
a number of the vector instructions like lxsiwzx and lxsiwax (and the
companion stores).
I realise it's not really the point of this particular patch, so I don't
think this should block acceptance. What I would like to know - and
maybe this is something where we need mpe to weigh in - is whether we
need consistent guards for 2.07 and 3.0. We have some 3.0 guards already
but clearly not everywhere.
With all that said - the patch does what it says it does, and looks good
to me:
