Title:
qemu doesn't seem to support lxvwsx for POWER9 target
Status in QEMU:
In Progress
Bug description:
When running a simple program built for POWER9 on QEMU 3.0.0 in linux-
user mode, it crashes with a message: "illegal instruction". It turns
out that lxvwsx instruction "Load Word and Splat Indexed" is not
supported. If workaround is implemented by issuing two separate
instructions (first load then splat) then all tests pass correctly.
Operating system: Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 64-bit (or Linux Mint 18 64-bit).
Cross-compiler for gcc-powerpc64le-linux-gnu is installed (gcc-5 series).
QEMU 3.0.0 is built from source and installed with: sudo make install
The program in question: https://github.com/VectorChief/UniSIMD-assembler
Turn off the workaround: RT_ELEM_COMPAT_PW9 should be set to 1 in the
following file:
https://github.com/VectorChief/UniSIMD-assembler/blob/master/core/config/rtarch_p32_128x1v2.h
Change to the "test" directory and type "make -f simd_make_p64.mk".
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-objdump -d simd_test.p64_32Lp9 > simd_test_p64_32Lp9.txt
Open newly created text file simd_test_p64_32Lp9.txt and search for lxvwsx
(in s_test01, ...)
The instruction shows up in objdump correctly.
