Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: handle VSX alignment faults correctly in little-endian mode
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:08:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B2646F9.4000203@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
This patch fixes the handling of VSX alignment faults in little-endian
mode (the current code assumes the processor is in big-endian mode).
The patch also makes the handlers clear the top 8 bytes of the register
when handling an 8 byte VSX load.
This is based on 2.6.32.
