[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] monitor: QEMU Monitor Instruction Disassembly Incorrect for PowerPC LE Mode

[Tom Musta]

The monitor support for disassembling instructions does not honor the MSR[LE]
bit for PowerPC processors.

This change enhances the monitor_disas() routine by supporting a flag bit
for Little Endian mode.  Bit 16 is used since that bit was used in the
analagous guest disassembly routine target_disas().

Also, to be consistent with target_disas(), the disassembler bfd_mach field
can be passed in the flags argument.

V2: Look specifically at bit 16 for LE.  Support machine configuration in flags.
V3: Changed documentation of 'flags' argument to simply refer to the 
target_disas
  description (per Peter Maydell's review).
V4: Corrections to comments.

The bug can be easily observed by dumping the first few instructions of an
interrupt vector (0x300 is the Data Storage Interrupt handler in PPC)

  (qemu) xp/8i 0x300
  0x0000000000000300:  .long 0x60
  0x0000000000000304:  lhzu    r18,-19843(r3)
  0x0000000000000308:  .long 0x60
  0x000000000000030c:  lhzu    r18,-20099(r2)
  0x0000000000000310:  lwz     r0,11769(0)
  0x0000000000000314:  lhzu    r23,8317(r2)
  0x0000000000000318:  .long 0x7813427c
  0x000000000000031c:  lbz     r0,19961(0)

With the patch applied, the disassembly now looks correct:

  (qemu) xp/8i 0x300
  0x0000000000000300:  nop
  0x0000000000000304:  mtsprg  2,r13
  0x0000000000000308:  nop
  0x000000000000030c:  mfsprg  r13,1
  0x0000000000000310:  std     r9,128(r13)
  0x0000000000000314:  mfspr   r9,896
  0x0000000000000318:  mr      r2,r2
  0x000000000000031c:  std     r10,136(r13)
