commit 64e756c55aa46fc18fd53e8f3598b73b528d8637 upstream.

From POWER4 onwards, mfocrf() only places the specified CR field into
the destination GPR, and the rest of it is set to 0. The PowerPC AS
from version 3.0 now requires this behaviour.

The emulation code currently puts the entire CR into the destination GPR.
Fix it.

commit 87c4b83e0fe234a1f0eed131ab6fa232036860d5 upstream.

The mcrf emulation code was using the CR field number directly as the shift
value, without taking into account that CR fields are numbered from 0-7 starting
at the high bits. That meant it was looking at the CR fields in the reverse
order.

<title>powerpc: Emulation support for load/store instructions on LE</title>

commit e148bd17f48bd17fca2f4f089ec879fa6e47e34c upstream.

emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were
initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix
emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions.

<title>powerpc: Split out instruction analysis part of emulate_step()</title>

<id>be96f63375a14ee8e690856ac77e579c75bd0bae</id>
<content type='text'>
This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into
a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction,
but doesn't execute any load or store instructions.  It does execute
integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by
updating register values in the pt_regs struct.  For other instructions,
it returns the instruction type and other details in a new
instruction_op struct.  emulate_step() then uses that information
to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and
(on 64-bit) sc instructions.

The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead
of having its own separate instruction emulation code.  Possibly the
alignment interrupt handler could also use this.

This fixes some bugs in emulate_step().  First, the setting of the carry
bit for the arithmetic right-shift instructions was not correct on 64-bit
machines because we were masking with a mask of type int rather than
unsigned long.  Secondly, the sld (shift left doubleword) instruction was
using the wrong instruction field for the register containing the shift
count.

This patch addresses unaligned single precision floating point loads
and stores in the single-step code.  The old implementation
improperly treated an 8 byte structure as an array of two 4 byte
words, which is a classic little endian bug.

This patch modifies the unaligned access routines of the sstep.c
module so that it properly reverses the bytes of storage operands
in the little endian kernel kernel.   This is implemented by
breaking an unaligned little endian access into a combination of
single byte accesses plus an overal byte reversal operation.
