    target/ppc: Allow workarounds for POWER9 DD1 · 5f3066d8
    David Gibson 提交于
    POWER9 DD1 silicon has some bugs which mean it a) isn't really compliant
    with the ISA v3.00 and b) require a number of special workarounds in the
    kernel.
    
    At the moment, qemu isn't aware of DD1.  For TCG we don't really want it to
    be (why bother emulating buggy silicon).  But with KVM, the guest does need
    to be aware of DD1 so it can apply the necessary workarounds.
    
    Meanwhile, the feature negotiation between qemu and the guest strongly
    favours architected compatibility modes to "raw" CPU modes.  In combination
    with the above, this means the guest sees architected POWER9 mode, and
    doesn't apply the DD1 workarounds.  Well, unless it has yet another
    workaround to partially ignore what qemu tells it.
    
    This patch addresses this by disabling support for compatibility modes when
    using KVM on a POWER9 DD1 host.
