From b92a66a65cb4480774066d9a3080c77eb34b7232 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Neuling Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 00:35:26 +0000 Subject: powerpc: Add denormalisation exception handling for POWER6/7 On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run. This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and POWER7. It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in pseries/ppc64_defconfig. This is useful on bare metal systems only. Based on patch from Milton Miller.
