+==================
+POWERPC ELF HWCAPs
+==================
+
+This document describes the usage and semantics of the powerpc ELF HWCAPs.
+
+
+1. Introduction
+---------------
+
+Some hardware or software features are only available on some CPU
+implementations, and/or with certain kernel configurations, but have no other
+discovery mechanism available to userspace code. The kernel exposes the
+presence of these features to userspace through a set of flags called HWCAPs,
+exposed in the auxiliary vector.
+
+Userspace software can test for features by acquiring the AT_HWCAP or
+AT_HWCAP2 entry of the auxiliary vector, and testing whether the relevant
+flags are set, e.g.::
+
+ bool floating_point_is_present(void)
+ {
+ unsigned long HWCAPs = getauxval(AT_HWCAP);
+ if (HWCAPs & PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU)
+ return true;
+
+ return false;
+ }
+
+Where software relies on a feature described by a HWCAP, it should check the
+relevant HWCAP flag to verify that the feature is present before attempting to
+make use of the feature.
+
+HWCAP is the preferred method to test for the presence of a feature rather
+than probing through other means, which may not be reliable or may cause
+unpredictable behaviour.
+
+Software that targets a particular platform does not necessarily have to
+test for required or implied features. For example if the program requires
+FPU, VMX, VSX, it is not necessary to test those HWCAPs, and it may be
+impossible to do so if the compiler generates code requiring those features.
+
+2. Facilities
+-------------
+
+The Power ISA uses the term "facility" to describe a class of instructions,
+registers, interrupts, etc. The presence or absence of a facility indicates
+whether this class is available to be used, but the specifics depend on the
+ISA version. For example, if the VSX facility is available, the VSX
+instructions that can be used differ between the v3.0B and v3.1B ISA
+versions.
+
+3. Categories
+-------------
+
+The Power ISA before v3.0 uses the term "category" to describe certain
+classes of instructions and operating modes which may be optional or
+mutually exclusive, the exact meaning of the HWCAP flag may depend on
+context, e.g., the presence of the BOOKE feature implies that the server
+category is not implemented.
+
+4. HWCAP allocation
+-------------------
+
+HWCAPs are allocated as described in Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI
+Specification (which will be reflected in the kernel's uapi headers).
+
+5. The HWCAPs exposed in AT_HWCAP
+---------------------------------
+
+PPC_FEATURE_32
+ 32-bit CPU
+
+PPC_FEATURE_64
+ 64-bit CPU (userspace may be running in 32-bit mode).
+
+PPC_FEATURE_601_INSTR
+ The processor is PowerPC 601.
+ Unused in the kernel since f0ed73f3fa2c ("powerpc: Remove PowerPC 601")
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_ALTIVEC
+ Vector (aka Altivec, VMX) facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU
+ Floating point facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_MMU
+ Memory management unit is present and enabled.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_4xxMAC
+ The processor is 40x or 44x family.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_UNIFIED_CACHE
+ The processor has a unified L1 cache for instructions and data, as
+ found in NXP e200.
+ Unused in the kernel since 39c8bf2b3cc1 ("powerpc: Retire e200 core (mpc555x processor)")
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_SPE
+ Signal Processing Engine facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_EFP_SINGLE
+ Embedded Floating Point single precision operations are available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_EFP_DOUBLE
+ Embedded Floating Point double precision operations are available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_NO_TB
+ The timebase facility (mftb instruction) is not available.
+ This is a 601 specific HWCAP, so if it is known that the processor
+ running is not a 601, via other HWCAPs or other means, it is not
+ required to test this bit before using the timebase.
+ Unused in the kernel since f0ed73f3fa2c ("powerpc: Remove PowerPC 601")
+
+PPC_FEATURE_POWER4
+ The processor is POWER4 or PPC970/FX/MP.
+ POWER4 support dropped from the kernel since 471d7ff8b51b ("powerpc/64s: Remove POWER4 support")
+
+PPC_FEATURE_POWER5
+ The processor is POWER5.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_POWER5_PLUS
+ The processor is POWER5+.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_CELL
+ The processor is Cell.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE
+ The processor implements the embedded category ("BookE") architecture.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_SMT
+ The processor implements SMT.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_ICACHE_SNOOP
+ The processor icache is coherent with the dcache, and instruction storage
+ can be made consistent with data storage for the purpose of executing
+ instructions with the sequence (as described in, e.g., POWER9 Processor
+ User's Manual, 4.6.2.2 Instruction Cache Block Invalidate (icbi))::
+
+ sync
+ icbi (to any address)
+ isync
+
+PPC_FEATURE_ARCH_2_05
+ The processor supports the v2.05 userlevel architecture. Processors
+ supporting later architectures DO NOT set this feature.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_PA6T
+ The processor is PA6T.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_DFP
+ DFP facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_POWER6_EXT
+ The processor is POWER6.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_ARCH_2_06
+ The processor supports the v2.06 userlevel architecture. Processors
+ supporting later architectures also set this feature.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_HAS_VSX
+ VSX facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT
+ The processor supports architected PMU events in the range 0xE0-0xFF.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_TRUE_LE
+ The processor supports true little-endian mode.
+
+PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE
+ The processor supports "PowerPC Little-Endian", that uses address
+ munging to make storage access appear to be little-endian, but the
+ data is stored in a different format that is unsuitable to be
+ accessed by other agents not running in this mode.
+
+6. The HWCAPs exposed in AT_HWCAP2
+----------------------------------

+
+PPC_FEATURE2_DSCR
+ DSCR facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_EBB
+ EBB facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_ISEL
+ isel instruction is available. This is superseded by ARCH_2_07 and
+ later.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_TAR
+ TAR facility is available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_VEC_CRYPTO
+ v2.07 crypto instructions are available.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC
+ System calls fail if called in a transactional state, see
+ Documentation/powerpc/syscall64-abi.rst
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_ARCH_3_00

+ supporting later architectures also set this feature.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_HAS_IEEE128
+ IEEE 128-bit binary floating point is supported with VSX
+ quad-precision instructions and data types.
+
+PPC_FEATURE2_DARN
+ darn instruction is available.

+ A limited Transactional Memory facility that does not support suspend is
+ available, see Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.rst.
+
