POWER: Add context-synchronizing instructions to pkey_write [BZ #25954]
|
|
|
|
Sandipan Das reported that,
|
|
|
|
"The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
|
|
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
|
|
succeeded by a context-synchronizing instruction. This
|
|
applies to both the privileged and unprivileged variants
|
|
of the Move To AMR instruction.
|
|
|
|
This [requirement] is from Table 6 of Chapter 11 in page 1134 of Power
|
|
ISA 3.0B. The document can be found here:
