linux.git/arch/powerpc/include/asm/code-patching.h, branch v5.10 Linux kernel source tree powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions 2020-05-18T14:10:37+00:00 Jordan Niethe jniethe5@gmail.com 2020-05-06T03:40:31+00:00 94afd069d937d84fb4f696eb9a78db4084e43d21 Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc. This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words. However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction. No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first. Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64. Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively have word instructions on powerpc32.

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

powerpc: Use a macro for creating instructions from u32s 2020-05-18T14:10:36+00:00 Jordan Niethe jniethe5@gmail.com 2020-05-06T03:40:26+00:00 753462512868674a788ecc77bb96752efb818785 In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32. A macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements. Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type that can represent prefixed instructions.
