Currently, Valgrind has only partial support for new IBM POWER6 instructions (as defined in http://www.power.org/resources/reading/PowerISA_V2.05.pdf). The attached patch completes the 2.05 support. The results of running 'make regtest' on a POWER6 box are almost identical before and after applying this patch -- about 50 failing testcases. I have looked into many of those failing testcases and, so far, have been able to cut the number of failures to less than half that. I have a separate testsuite patch that I will submit separately (upon request, or I'll wait until this patch is accepted) that provides the improved testsuite results. Review comments are welcome. Thanks. -Maynard Signed-off-by: Maynard Johnson <may...@us...> |
