Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] ppc64: Avoid rfid if no need to clear MSR_LE
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 17:55:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444172150-29493-2-git-send-email-scottwood@freescale.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1444172150-29493-1-git-send-email-scottwood@freescale.com>
Commit a304e2d82a8c3 ("ppc64: purgatory: Reset primary cpu endian to
big-endian) changed bctr to rfid. rfid is book3s-only and will cause a
fatal exception on book3e.
Purgatory is an isolated environment which makes importing information
about the subarch awkward, so instead rely on the fact that MSR_LE
should never be set on book3e, and the rfid is only needed if MSR_LE is
set (and thus needs to be cleared). In theory that MSR bit is reserved
on book3e, rather than zero, but in practice I have not seen it set.
