/* EMUL_CHIRP:
|
|
|
|
The emulation of the OpenBoot client interface (as defined in 1275)
|
|
illustrates how it is possible for PSIM to implement an interface
|
|
that is both running in virtual memory and is called using a
|
|
standard function call interface.
|
|
|
|
The OpenBoot client interface is implemented by using two
|
|
instructions:
|
|
|
|
client_interface:
|
|
<emul_call>
|
|
blr
|
|
|
|
A client program makes a function call to `client_interface' using
|
|
the `bl' instruction. The simulator will then execute the
|
|
<emul_call> instruction (which calls emul_chirp) and then the `blr'
|
|
which will return to the caller.
|
|
|
|
In addition to providing the `client_interface' entry point, while
|
|
a client request is being handled, emul_chirp patches (well it will
|
|
one day) the data access exception vector with a <emul_call>
|
|
instruction. By doing this, emul_chirp is able to catch and handle
|
|
any invalid data accesses it makes while emulating a client call.
|
|
|
|
When such an exception occures, emul_chirp is able to recover by
|
|
restoring the processor and then calling the clients callback
|
|
interface so that the client can recover from the data exception.
|
|
|
|
Handling this are the emul_chirp states:
|
|
|
