From 587064b610c703f259317d00dc37bf6d40f4fc74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Punit Agrawal Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 11:41:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Add framework for legacy instruction emulation Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn on/off the support for these instructions. Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is documented as part of this patch.
