Change Details

Powerpc64 has support for a register called Data Stream Control Register (DSCR), which basically control how the hardware controls the caching and prefetch for stream operations. Since mfdscr and mtdscr are privileged instructions, we need to emulate them, and keep the custom DSCR configuration per thread. The purpose of this feature is to change DSCR depending on the operation, set to DSCR Default Prefetch Depth to deepest on string operations, as memcpy.
