3 * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
5 * Zero user space, handling exceptions as we go.
7 * We have to make sure that $0 is always up-to-date and contains the
8 * right "bytes left to zero" value (and that it is updated only _after_
9 * a successful copy). There is also some rather minor exception setup
12 * NOTE! This is not directly C-callable, because the calling semantics
17 * destination address in $6
18 * exception pointer in $7
19 * return address in $28 (exceptions expect it there)
22 * bytes left to copy in $0
27 * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
28 * Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
29 * abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
30 * ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
31 * Scheduling notation:
33 * U - upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
34 * L - lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
35 * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
36 * Determining actual stalls (other than slotting) doesn't appear to be easy to do.
37 * From perusing the source code context where this routine is called, it is
38 * a fair assumption that significant fractions of entire pages are zeroed, so
39 * it's going to be worth the effort to hand-unroll a big loop, and use wh64.
41 * The believed purpose of only updating $0 after a store is that a signal
42 * may come along during the execution of this chunk of code, and we don't
43 * want to leave a hole (and we also want to avoid repeating lots of work)
46 /* Allow an exception for an insn; exit if we get one. */

142 * address will be for the current trip.
