I'm not sure about this.
If a user tries to execute a supervisor instruction (only allowed for kernel level code, not applications), the instruction won't be executed but an exception will be raised. This is the PPC mfsr instruction part of target-ppc/translate.c: /* mfsr */ static void gen_mfsr(DisasContext *ctx) { #if defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) gen_inval_exception(ctx, POWERPC_EXCP_PRIV_REG); #else TCGv t0; if (unlikely(!ctx->mem_idx)) { Here the MMU mode is checked for user mode. I'd use more explicit check ctx->mmu_idx == MMU_USER_IDX. gen_inval_exception(ctx, POWERPC_EXCP_PRIV_REG); return; } t0 = tcg_const_tl(SR(ctx->opcode)); gen_helper_load_sr(cpu_gpr[rD(ctx->opcode)], cpu_env, t0); tcg_temp_free(t0); #endif } > >>> >>> case 0x2d: /* l.mfspr */ >>> LOG_DIS("l.mfspr r%d, r%d, %d\n", rd, ra, I16); >>> { >>> #if defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) >>> gen_illegal_exception(dc); >>> #else >>> TCGv_i32 ti = tcg_const_i32(I16); >>> gen_helper_mfspr(cpu_R[rd], cpu_env, cpu_R[rd], cpu_R[ra], ti); >>> tcg_temp_free_i32(ti); >>> #endif >>> } >>> break; >>> >>> case 0x30: /* l.mtspr */ >>> LOG_DIS("l.mtspr %d, r%d, r%d, %d\n", I5, ra, rb, I11); >>> { >>> #if defined(CONFIG_USER_ONLY) >>> gen_illegal_exception(dc); >>> #else >>> TCGv_i32 im = tcg_const_i32(tmp); >>> gen_helper_mtspr(cpu_env, cpu_R[ra], cpu_R[rb], im); >>> tcg_temp_free_i32(im); >>> #endif >>> } >>> break; >>> >> >> -- >> Thanks. >> -- Max > > Regards, > Jia.
