At a minimum I think we need to save SRR0, SRR1, SPRN_SPRG_GEN_SCRATCH, SPRN_SPRG_TLB_SCRATCH, and the MAS registers. We'll also need to make the bolted TLB miss handlers capable of pointing to different extables (though they won't need to auto-advance as the original TLB miss handlers do -- we would advance SPRN_SPRG_TLB_EXFRAME from this code), and the original TLB miss handlers will now need to support more than 3 levels of nesting. For the e6500 tablewalk TLB miss handler, we'll need to do something special if we interrupt it when the lock is held, to revoke the lock and return to code that retries. Is there anything else I'm missing? -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
