Subject: [PATCH v3] powerpc xmon: use `dcbf` inplace of `dcbi` instruction for 64bit Book3S
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2020 13:29:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200330075954.538773-1-bala24@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction implemented back in
PowerPC architecture version 2.03. But as per Power Processor Users Manual
it is obsolete and not supported by POWER8/POWER9 core. Attempt to use of
this illegal instruction results in a hypervisor emulation assistance
interrupt. So, ifdef it out the option `i` in xmon for 64bit Book3S.
