From 94afd069d937d84fb4f696eb9a78db4084e43d21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Niethe Date: Wed, 6 May 2020 13:40:31 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc. This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words. However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction. No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first. Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64. Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively have word instructions on powerpc32.
