[RFC PATCH v3 0/3] Implement Power ISA 3.1B hash insns


From: Víctor Colombo
Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/3] Implement Power ISA 3.1B hash insns
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 13:54:55 -0300

This patch series implements the 4 instructions added in Power ISA
3.1B:

- hashchk
- hashst
- hashchkp
- hashstp

To build it, you need to apply the following patches on top of master:
<20220701133507.740619-2-lucas.coutinho@eldorado.org.br>
<20220701133507.740619-3-lucas.coutinho@eldorado.org.br>
<20220712193741.59134-2-leandro.lupori@eldorado.org.br>
<20220712193741.59134-3-leandro.lupori@eldorado.org.br>

Working branch for ease of use can be found here:

What do you think about the choice to implement the hash algorithm
from the ground up, following the SIMON-like algorithm presented in
Power ISA? IIUC, this algorithm is not the same as the original[1].
Other options would be to use other algorithm already implemented
in QEMU, or even make this instruction a nop for all Power versions.

Also, I was thinking about using the call to spr_register_kvm() in
init_proc_POWER10 to initialize the registers with a random value.
I'm not sure what is the behavior here, I would expect that is the job
of the OS to set the regs, but looks like KVM is not exporting them,
so they are always 0 (?). Does anyone have any insight on this?

v1->v2:
- Split the patch in 2
- Rebase to master

v2->v3:
- Split patches in 3
    - the new patch (patch 1) is separating the kvm header 
      changes [Cornelia]
