Hello
I want to learn about powerpc architecture, mainly hypervisor and
partioning. I download the books (1,2, and 3 ) but I feel it lacks
a lot of information. Are there other books ?
Kind regards

I suspect you are looking at an ancient version of
First, thank you.
And another question, is there a development environment that
resembles Fixed Virtual Platform for ARM ( FVP ARM) ?

I don't know FVP, but that seems similar to systemsim?

The ISA describes how the CPU works to allow you to implement a
hypervisor, but it doesn
Frankly, the more I read the more perplexed I get. For example,
according to BOOK III-S, chapter 3,
the MSR bits are differ from the ones described in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/reg.h.
Bit zero, is LE, but in the book it is 64-bit mode.
Would someone be kind to explain what I do not understand?

Hey
How does HVSC works ?
I looked in the code and LoPAR documentation. It looks like there is
vector called
system_call_pSeries ( at 0xc00 ) that is supposed to be called when we
invoke HVSC from kernel
mode.
Now, I wrote a NULL call HSVC and patched the exceptions-64s.S to
return RFID immediately

Both systemsim and my powerpc server boots with MSR_HV=1, i.e, hypervisor state.
Is there away to fix that ? writing to the MSR cannot work according
the documentation ( and reality ).

But that is what you do: you write HV=0 in MSR. Af

So,if we're talk about address...
EA0 is actually bit 63 for any kernel address. This means[1] the
effective address is
the real address ( the physical address), because MSR_HV=1.
1. What does it mean PA=EA ? How does the translation work now ?
2. in interrupts, the program counter is set to EA 0c0
