[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] fix & clean PPC e300

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

Mainly resending.

The only improvement is in the fix for RFI/RFID.
Please Blue Swirl, could you test with Altivec ?

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/5] target-ppc: fix processor versions (PVR) for e300

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

Reflect values from the table "Assigned PVR values" in [e300CORERM].

Values for MPC603 and G2 processors could need check/changes also.

The reference document (e300CORERM) which is used is:
"e300 Power Architecture Core Family Reference Manual", Revision 4, 12/2007.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/5] target-ppc: fix interrupt vectors for MPC603 and e300

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

The vectors are listed
    - in the chapter 1.3.3.2 (Implementation-Specific Interrupt Model)
      of the e300 datasheet [e300CORERM] and
    - in the chapter 3.5.2 (PowerPC 603 Microprocessor Exception Model)
      of the MPC603 datasheet.

As e300 inherits from MPC603, init_excp_e300() calls init_excp_603().

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/5] target-ppc: exception model of 603e inherits from 603

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

It appears in the code that the exception handling of 603e is the same as 603.
If there is addon like SRR1[KEY], it is handled without special case for it.
So it could be removed safely.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 4/5] target-ppc: fix RFI by clearing upper bytes of MSR

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

Since commit 2ada0ed, "Return From Interrupt" is broken for PPC processors
because the upper bits (POW, TGPR, ILE) of MSR were not cleared.

Below is a representation of MSR bits:
0 .. 12  13  14  15  16         ..         23  24        ..      31
 —————  POW TGPR ILE EE PR FP ME FE0 SE BE FE1 CE IP IR DR —— RI LE

Only the 2 lower bytes (16-31) of MSR are saved to SRR1 before an interrupt.
So only these bytes should be restored and the upper ones (0-15) cleared.
But, referring to commit 2ada0ed, clearing all the upper bytes breaks Altivec.
The compromise is to clear the well known bits (13-15).

Regarding RFID, since the 32 lower bits of MSR are the same in 64-bit,
the same mask as RFI should apply to RFID.

May I ask for your test case or how you stumbled over this? I haven't seen any OS rely on this yet.

IIRC this is vastly implementation dependent. Book3 lists the bits saved when setting SRR1 explicitly and I haven't found a good rule of thumb yet.
RFI on the other hand is described as MSR <- SRR1. So I'm fairly sure RFI is implemented correctly.

Have you tried making the SRR1 setting more clever?

I'm running Linux for SBC834x in Qemu. The interrupt controller and board 
definition are not yet published.

The boot process hang with the actual implementation of RFI.

From the programming manual (MPCFPE32B):
"The save/restore register 1 (SRR1) is used to save machine status (selected 
bits from the MSR and other implementation-specific status bits as well) on 
interrupts and to restore those values when rfi is executed.
[..]
When an interrupt occurs, SRR1 bits 1–4 and 10–15 are loaded with 
interrupt-specific information and MSR bits 16–23, 25–27, and 30–31 are 
placed into the corresponding bit positions of SRR1. Depending on the 
implementation, additional MSR bits may be copied to SRR1."

From the e300 reference manual (e300CORERM):
"The TGPR bit is cleared by an rfi instruction."

My first try was to clear only TGPR. But it doesn't work properly if POW and 
ILE are not cleared.

> Have you tried making the SRR1 setting more clever?

Yes. POW and TGPR can be filtered-out when saving to SRR1. But it seems that 
ILE must be cleared in RFI (if not, the Linux PCI scan is an endless loop).

I don't if this way is better:

According to the 2.06 ISA, for example the DSI sets SRR1 to:

33:36        Set to 0
42:47        Set to 0
Others      Loaded from the MSR

>   

According to the 2.06 ISA again, rfi does the following:

The contents of SRR1 are placed into the MSR. If the new MSR value does
not enable any pending exceptions, then the next instruction is fetched,
under control of the new MSR value, from the address SRR0 0:64 || 0b00.
(Note: VLE behavior may be different; see Book VLE).

Book VLE is the Variable Length Encoded Instructions Architecture, so
that doesn't come into play here.

If rfi would clear ILE, how would it be enabled then?

Sorry, I was not clear. By "not yet published", I mean that I've written Qemu 
code to emulate e300 but I haven't yet send it to the ML. I would prefer to 
fix this RFI issue first.
SBC834x is not a new product.

You should be right. I have to fix a bug elsewhere.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 5/5] ppc: remove dead code

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>

This function had been disabled from the beginning (see 9fddaa0).

cpu_reset() function is in target-ppc/helper.c

Sorry, I don't have one.

Oops, sorry. I have "CCed" the author of the commit 2ada0ed. But it was the 
SVN old time. I should look at the Signed-off line.

Alexander, you have made the commit 2ada0ed to fix Altivec. Could you check 
that the 4th patch of this serie doesn't break Altivec ?
Thanks
