    powerpc: Load Monitor Register Support · bd3ea317
    Jack Miller 提交于
    This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in
    userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction)
    loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a
    new FSCR bit, LM.
    
    This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables
    that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken
    for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine
    whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is
    done lazily for performance reasons.
