While executing qemu_ppc64le, found an issue that the real illegal
instructions are handled as risu_op which results in wrong info at the
master end. Even the master needs to distinguish real illegal
instructions versus risu_op.

No, this is deliberate. Otherwise you can't test illegal
instructions. What should happen is that both master and
apprentice ends end up in the default case, which does
a register info compare and continues having stepped the
PC past the illegal insn.

(If only one end thinks the insn is illegal then there will
be a register mismatch on the PC.)

thanks

One of the issue that I had was some of the instruction are implemented
in the master and not in apprentice. I think we could then disable them
in the ppc64.risu. And enable them only when we have that implemented it
in qemu tcg.

Yeah, the issue here was it does not come out obviously that there was a
real illegal instruction. Maybe a error print at both the ends would
help in debugging.

Yes; if you haven't yet implemented an instruction the best
approach is just to not try to test it.

It should print "faulting insn mismatch" if the instructions which
fault aren't the same thing. This is what the arm and aarch64
implementations of reginfo_dump_mismatch() do, anyway. It looks
like the ppc and m68k versions don't do that, though.

thanks
