[Qemu-devel] [PULL 09/33] target/ppc: Allow privileged access to SPR_PCR

[David Gibson]

From: Joel Stanley <address@hidden>

The powerpc Linux kernel[1] and skiboot firmware[2] recently gained changes
that cause the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) SPR to be cleared.

These changes cause Linux to fail to boot on the Qemu powernv machine
with an error:

 Trying to write privileged spr 338 (0x152) at 0000000030017f0c

With this patch Qemu makes this register available as a hypervisor
privileged register.

Note that bits set in this register disable features of the processor.
Currently the only register state that is supported is when the register
is zeroed (enable all features). This is sufficient for guests to
once again boot.
