    [POWERPC] spufs: allow isolated mode apps by starting the SPE loader · 0afacde3
    arnd@arndb.de authored
    This patch adds general support for isolated mode SPE apps.
    
    Isolated apps are started indirectly, by a dedicated loader "kernel".
    This patch starts the loader when spe_create is invoked with the
    ISOLATE flag. We do this at spe_create time to allow libspe to pass the
    isolated app in before calling spe_run.
    
    The loader is read from the device tree, at the location
    "/spu-isolation/loader". If the loader is not present, an attempt to
    start an isolated SPE binary will fail with -ENODEV.
    
    Update: loader needs to be correctly aligned - copy to a kmalloced buf.
    Update: remove workaround for systemsim/spurom 'L-bit' bug, which has
            been fixed.
    Update: don't write to runcntl on spu_run_init: SPU is already running.
    Update: do spu_setup_isolated earlier
    
    Tested on systemsim.
