Paul Mackerras 3cdfcbfd32 powerpc: Change analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs
The analyse_instr function currently doesn't just work out what an
instruction does, it also executes those instructions whose effect
is only to update CPU registers that are stored in struct pt_regs.
This is undesirable because optprobes uses analyse_instr to work out
if an instruction could be successfully emulated in future.

This changes analyse_instr so it doesn't modify *regs; instead it
stores information in the instruction_op structure to indicate what
registers (GPRs, CR, XER, LR) would be set and what value they would
be set to.  A companion function called emulate_update_regs() can
then use that information to update a pt_regs struct appropriately.

As a minor cleanup, this replaces inline asm using the cntlzw and
cntlzd instructions with calls to __builtin_clz() and __builtin_clzl().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
