[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target/hppa: fix PSW Q bit behaviour to match hardware

[Sven Schnelle]

PA-RISC specification says: "Setting the PSW Q-bit, PSW{28}, to 1
with this instruction, if it was not already 1, is an undefined
operation." However, at least HP-UX 10.20 sets the Q bit from 0 to 1
with the SSM instruction. Tested this both on HP9000/712 and
HP9000/785/C3750, both machines set the Q bit from 0 to 1 without
exception. This makes HP-UX 10.20 progress a little bit further.
