      powerpc: Fix emulation of illegal instructions on PowerNV platform · e4f37de0
      Paul Mackerras authored
      commit bf593907 upstream.
      
      Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented
      on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g.
      mfpvr).  The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not
      working on the PowerNV platform.  The reason is that on these machines,
      unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation
      assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs.
      Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls
      program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1
      that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt.  This fixes it by
      making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling
      program_check_interrupt().  With this, old programs that use no-longer
      implemented instructions such as dcba now work again.
