I have a user submitted port of RTEMS to the PowerPC (IBM 403) and it uses
some instructions (or alternate names) he added to his local gas. I am
using binutils 2.6 configured for powerpc-elf. I know of the following
based on the error messages:
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s: Assembler messages:
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:54: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtsprg3'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:56: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtsprg2'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:131: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtexier'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:137: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mttsr'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:143: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mttsr'
These are all ``move to special register'' instructions. If you can
find out the appropriate special register number, it should be
possible to replace them all with the mtspr instruction.
Incidentally, gas already supports mtsprg with two operands. I don't
know what the other two are.
If these are standard instructions for the 403, then you should patch
opcodes/ppc-opc.c and send in the patch. Look for mtmq to see the
mtspr variants.
