New Revision: 365607
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/365607
Log:
[PowerPC64LE] Add LOAD_LR_NIA and RETURN_TO_NATIVE_ENDIAN defines.
* Add LOAD_LR_NIA define. This is preferred to "bl 1f; 1:" because it
doesn't pollute the branch predictor.
* Add magic sequence to return the CPU to the correct endianness after
jumping to cross-endian code, similar to the sequence from Linux.

+ * Magic sequence to return to native endian.
+ * Overwrites r0 and r11.
+ *
+ * The encoding of the instruction "tdi 0, %r0, 0x48" in opposite endian
+ * happens to be "b . + 8". This is useful because we can write a sequence
+ * of instructions that can execute in either endian.
+ *
+ * Use a sequence of handcoded instructions that switches contexts to the
+ * instruction following the sequence, but with the correct PSL_LE bit.
+ *
+ * The same sequence works for both BE and LE because the xori will flip
+ * the bit to the other state, and the code only runs when running in the
+ * wrong endian.
+ *
+ * This sequence is NMI-reentrant.
