Subject: [PATCH 3/4] [RFC] Add condition code checking to SWP emulation handler.
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:30:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111121183058.28964.79067.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111121183046.28964.23829.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6>

This patch fixes two separate issues with the SWP emulation handler:
1: Certain processors implementing the ARMv7-A can (legally) take an
   undef exception even when the condition code would have meant that
   the instruction should not have been executed.
2: Opcodes with all flags set (condition code = 0xf) have been reused
   in recent, and not-so-recent, versions of the ARM architecture to
   implement unconditional extensions to the instruction set. The
   existing code would still have processed any undefs triggered by
   executing an opcode with such a value.

This patch uses the new generic ARM instruction set condition code
checks to implement proper handling of these situations.
