[PATCH] target/ppc: Fix lxv/stxv MSR facility check
Posted by Nicholas Piggin 1 year, 12 months ago 
The move to decodetree flipped the inequality test for the VEC / VSX
MSR facility check.

This caused application crashes under Linux, where these facility
unavailable interrupts are used for lazy-switching of VEC/VSX register
sets. Getting the incorrect interrupt would result in wrong registers
being loaded, potentially overwriting live values and/or exposing
stale ones.

What about the X-form down below?

static bool do_lstxv_X(DisasContext *ctx, arg_X *a, bool store, bool paired)
{
    if (paired || a->rt >= 32) {
        REQUIRE_VSX(ctx);
    } else {
        REQUIRE_VECTOR(ctx);
    }

    return do_lstxv(ctx, a->ra, cpu_gpr[a->rb], a->rt, store, paired);
}
