 - <h4 class="subsection">G.5.11 PowerPC Features</h4>
 - <a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-PowerPC-features"></a>
 - 
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.core</samp>’ feature is required for PowerPC
 - targets.  It should contain registers ‘<samp>r0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>r31</samp>’,
 - ‘<samp>pc</samp>’, ‘<samp>msr</samp>’, ‘<samp>cr</samp>’, ‘<samp>lr</samp>’, ‘<samp>ctr</samp>’, and
 - ‘<samp>xer</samp>’.  They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>f0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>f31</samp>’ and ‘<samp>fpscr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>vr0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>vr31</samp>’, ‘<samp>vscr</samp>’, and
 - ‘<samp>vrsave</samp>’.  <small>GDB</small> will define pseudo-registers ‘<samp>v0</samp>’
 - through ‘<samp>v31</samp>’ as aliases for the corresponding ‘<samp>vrX</samp>’
 - registers.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.vsx</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>vs0h</samp>’ through ‘<samp>vs31h</samp>’.  <small>GDB</small> will
 - combine these registers with the floating point registers (‘<samp>f0</samp>’
 - through ‘<samp>f31</samp>’) and the altivec registers (‘<samp>vr0</samp>’ through
 - ‘<samp>vr31</samp>’) to present the 128-bit wide registers ‘<samp>vs0</samp>’ through
 - ‘<samp>vs63</samp>’, the set of vector-scalar registers for POWER7.
 - Therefore, this feature requires both ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</samp>’ and
 - ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.spe</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>ev0h</samp>’ through ‘<samp>ev31h</samp>’, ‘<samp>acc</samp>’, and
 - ‘<samp>spefscr</samp>’.  SPE targets should provide 32-bit registers in
 - ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.core</samp>’ and provide the upper halves in
 - ‘<samp>ev0h</samp>’ through ‘<samp>ev31h</samp>’.  <small>GDB</small> will combine
 - these to present registers ‘<samp>ev0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>ev31</samp>’ to the
 - user.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.ppr</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit register ‘<samp>ppr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.dscr</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit register ‘<samp>dscr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.tar</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit register ‘<samp>tar</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.ebb</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>bescr</samp>’, ‘<samp>ebbhr</samp>’ and ‘<samp>ebbrr</samp>’, all
 - 64-bit wide.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.linux.pmu</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>mmcr0</samp>’, ‘<samp>mmcr2</samp>’, ‘<samp>siar</samp>’, ‘<samp>sdar</samp>’
 - and ‘<samp>sier</samp>’, all 64-bit wide.  This is the subset of the isa 2.07
 - server PMU registers provided by <small>GNU</small>/Linux.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.spr</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>tfhar</samp>’, ‘<samp>texasr</samp>’ and ‘<samp>tfiar</samp>’, all
 - 64-bit wide.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.core</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the checkpointed general-purpose registers ‘<samp>cr0</samp>’ through
 - ‘<samp>cr31</samp>’, as well as the checkpointed registers ‘<samp>clr</samp>’ and
 - ‘<samp>cctr</samp>’.  These registers may all be either 32-bit or 64-bit
 - depending on the target.  It should also contain the checkpointed
 - registers ‘<samp>ccr</samp>’ and ‘<samp>cxer</samp>’, which should both be 32-bit
 - wide.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the checkpointed 64-bit floating-point registers ‘<samp>cf0</samp>’
 - through ‘<samp>cf31</samp>’, as well as the checkpointed 64-bit register
 - ‘<samp>cfpscr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</samp>’ feature is optional.  It
 - should contain the checkpointed altivec registers ‘<samp>cvr0</samp>’ through
 - ‘<samp>cvr31</samp>’, all 128-bit wide.  It should also contain the
 - checkpointed registers ‘<samp>cvscr</samp>’ and ‘<samp>cvrsave</samp>’, both 32-bit
 - wide.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.vsx</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain registers ‘<samp>cvs0h</samp>’ through ‘<samp>cvs31h</samp>’.  <small>GDB</small>
 - will combine these registers with the checkpointed floating point
 - registers (‘<samp>cf0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>cf31</samp>’) and the checkpointed
 - altivec registers (‘<samp>cvr0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>cvr31</samp>’) to present the
 - 128-bit wide checkpointed vector-scalar registers ‘<samp>cvs0</samp>’ through
 - ‘<samp>cvs63</samp>’.  Therefore, this feature requires both
 - ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</samp>’ and
 - ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.ppr</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit checkpointed register ‘<samp>cppr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.dscr</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit checkpointed register ‘<samp>cdscr</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.tar</samp>’ feature is optional.  It should
 - contain the 64-bit checkpointed register ‘<samp>ctar</samp>’.
