[PATCH v2] powerpc/8xx: use SPRN_EIE and SPRN_EID to enable/disable interrupts

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Aug 23 2016 - 09:59:05 EST


The 8xx has two special registers called EID (External Interrupt
Disable) and EIE (External Interrupt Enable) for clearing/setting
EE in MSR. It avoids the three instructions set mfmsr/ori/mtmsr or
mfmsr/rlwinm/mtmsr and it avoids using a general register.

We just have to write something in the special register to change MSR EE
bit. So we write r0 into the register, regardless of r0 value.

Writing to one of those two special registers also set the MSR RI bit,
but this bit is only unset during beginning of exception prolog and end
of exception epilog. When executing C-functions MSR RI is always set.

v2: removed definition of SPRN_NRI which is not used. Enhanced the
commit text. Moved down the SPRN_EIE and SPRN_EID definition to
keep this patch independant of the hugepage patch I'm working on.
