[PULL 05/35] target/ppc: Suppress single step interrupts on rfi-type instructions
Posted by Cédric Le Goater 1 year, 2 months ago
From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

BookS does not take single step interrupts on completion of rfi and
similar (rfid, hrfid, rfscv). This is not a completely clean way to
do it, but in general non-branch instructions that change NIP on
completion are excluded.
