Hi David,

Commit 41557447d30eeb944e42069513df13585f5e6c7f introduced a new method of
calculating the MSR for the interrupt context. However this doesn't quite
agree with the PowerISA 2.06B specification (pp. 811-814) since too many
bits were being cleared.

This patch corrects the calculation of the interrupt MSR for classic exception
models whilst including additional comments to clarify which bits are being
changed within both the MSR and the interrupt MSR.

Sorry, I really should have picked this up in an earlier review round,
but I think the *whole* msr calculation should be made per exception
model, not just the second part.  The common statement above
is.. cryptic, and I'd be mildly surprised if it was correct for all
architected variants.

Well the original value above hasn't changed from Alex's original commit (I simply augmented the comment), and it agrees with my reading of the specification pages as directed by Alex. Given that we also agreed to minimise the impact of the patch by making the least amount of changes (and it works for my HelenOS tests while preserving the existing behaviour), do you still think it makes sense to change the whole MSR calculation in this way?


ATB,

Mark.
