An Event-Based Branch (EBB) allows applications to change the NIA when a event-based exception occurs. Event-based exceptions are enabled by setting the Branch Event Status and Control Register (BESCR). If the event-based exception is enabled when the exception occurs, an EBB happens. The following operations happens during an EBB: - Global Enable (GE) bit of BESCR is set to 0; - bits 0-61 of the Event-Based Branch Return Register (EBBRR) are set to the the effective address of the NIA that would have executed if the EBB didn't happen; - Instruction fetch and execution will continue in the effective address contained in the Event-Based Branch Handler Register (EBBHR). The EBB Handler will process the event and then execute the Return From Event-Based Branch (rfebb) instruction. rfebb sets BESCR_GE and then redirects execution to the address pointed in EBBRR. This process is described in the PowerISA v3.1, Book II, Chapter 6 [1]. This patch implements the rfebb instruction. Descriptions of all relevant BESCR bits are also added - this patch is only using BESCR_GE, but the next patches will use the remaining bits.
