This is the team work of Ehsan-ul-Haq, Abdul Qadeer, Abdul Waheed, Khansa Butt
from HPCN Lab KICS UET Lahore.

Cavium Networks's Octeon processors are based on MIPS64r2
We have Implemented 27 user mode Cavium specific instructions.
Richard Henderson told me that QEMU does not support 64-bit
address spaces in user mode from a 32-bit host. so this code will work
only on 64 bit host. Although we did some workaround to run MIPS64 on 32 x86
and it can be generlized for other architectures. We will submit that after this
submission. This development work is tested for 64 bit X86 and working fine
all Cavium specific instructions are also tested. teast cases can be provided if required.
Octeon binaries (ELF) can be downloaded from below links
1)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19530066/hw_mips
2)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19530066/matmul
If you have any objection regarding the Implementation of
Cavium instructions please read following notes.

Notes
*****

The detail of some instructions are as follows
1)seq rd,rs,rt
seq-->rd = 1 if rs = rt
is equivalent to
xor rd,rs,rt
sltiu rd,rd,1
2)exts rt,rs,p,lenm1
rt = sign-extend(rs<p+lenm1:p>,lenm1)
>From reference manual of Cavium Networks
"Bit locations p + lenm1 to p are extracted from rs and the result is written into the
lowest bits of destination register rt. The remaining bits in rt are a sign-extension of
the most-significant bit of the bit field (i.e. rt<63:lenm1> are all duplicates of the
source-register bit rs<p+lenm1>)." so we can't use any of 8,16 or 32 bit
sign extention tcg function. To sign extend according to msb of bit field
we have our own implementation
3)dmul rd,rs,rt
This instruction is included in gen_arith() because it is three operand
double word multiply instruction.
