From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

The infrastructure code uses undefined instruction +hooks to support emulation. Where available it also allows turning on +the instruction execution in hardware. + +The emulation mode can be controlled by writing to sysctl nodes +(/proc/sys/abi). The following explains the different execution +behaviours and the corresponding values of the sysctl nodes - + +* Undef + Value: 0 + Generates undefined instruction abort. Default for instructions that + have been obsoleted in the architecture, e.g., SWP + +* Emulate + Value: 1 + Uses software emulation. To aid migration of software, in this mode + usage of emulated instruction is traced as well as rate limited + warnings are issued. This is the default for deprecated + instructions, .e.g., CP15 barriers + +* Hardware Execution + Value: 2 + Although marked as deprecated, some implementations may support the + enabling/disabling of hardware support for the execution of these + instructions. Using hardware execution generally provides better + performance, but at the loss of ability to gather runtime statistics + about the use of the deprecated instructions. + +The default mode depends on the status of the instruction in the +architecture. Deprecated instructions should default to emulation +while obsolete instructions must be undefined by default. + +Note: Instruction emulation may not be possible in all cases. See +individual instruction notes for further information. + +Supported legacy instructions +----------------------------- +* SWP{B} +Node: /proc/sys/abi/swp +Status: Obsolete +Default: Undef (0) + +* CP15 Barriers +Node: /proc/sys/abi/cp15_barrier +Status: Deprecated +Default: Emulate (1) + +* SETEND +Node: /proc/sys/abi/setend +Status: Deprecated +Default: Emulate (1)* +Note: All the cpus on the system must have mixed endian support at EL0 +for this feature to be enabled. If a new CPU - which doesn't support mixed +endian - is hotplugged in after this feature has been enabled, there could +be unexpected results in the application. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg nube.3.0&id=cb85c6c9a6a5eb1d492cddd44a6bcf876a3176a5'>compass.xml
