-- ppc fails to clear MSR_POW when incurring exception https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. Status in QEMU: New Bug description: QEMU VERSION: 0.12.4 According to FreeScale's 'Programming Environments Manual for 32-bit Implementations of the PowerPC Architecture' [MPCFPE32B, Rev.3, 9/2005], section 6.5, table 6-7, an interrupt resets MSR_POW to zero but qemu-0.12.4 fails to do so. Resetting the bit is necessary in order to bring the processor out of power-management since otherwise it goes to sleep right away in the exception handler, i.e., it is impossible to leave PM-mode.
