Everyone: I have created the following bugzilla for adding the first installment of the IBM POWER ISA 3.0 support to Valgrind. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359767 The POWER ISA 3.0 adds about 180 new instructions. This bugzilla contains the first in a series of patches to add the support for these instructions to Valgrind. The patch also contains a new test suite for the new instructions. The patch adds support for 39 of the new instructions. Each of the instructions is implemented using existing Iops. IBM pushed the assembler/compiler support for the ISA 3.0 into the GCC compiler over the last few months. I would appreciate your review comments on the patches. If you would also like to run and test the patches, let me know. You will need to download the upstream GCC compiler/assembler and build it. Then you will need to tweak the test suite so it will compile on a non ISA 3.0 system. Since all of the ISA 3.0 instructions in this patch are all emulated, you will then be able to run the test suite under Valgrind on a Power 8 machine. Thank you for your help and input with these patches. Carl Love |
