From 4a9590f32e5692114aaae4ca10da89dac633e164 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Graf Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2010 11:37:26 +0200 Subject: Make cpu_get_real_ticks use mfspr PowerPC CPUs have had two ways to read the time base for quite some time now. They provide it using the mfspr instruction or - if a special bit is set in that opcode - using mftb. For timekeeping we're currently using mftb. While trying to get Qemu up and running on an e500v2 system, I stumbled over the CPU not supporting mftbu. It just throws an illegal instruction trap. So let's read the SPR values instead. All PPC CPUs should support them anyways. I tested this patch on an e500v2 system where it makes qemu work and on my 970MP system with 32-bit user space where everything still works with this patch applied.
