SUPERSCALAR EXECUTION
The following table summarizes the superscalar execution capabilities of 32-bit PA-RISC processors. nokeep tab (:) ; l l l _ _ _ l l l . CPU:Units:Bundles 7100:1 integer ALU:load-store/fp :1 FP :int/fp : :branch/* 7100LC:2 integer ALU:load-store/int :1 FP :load-store/fp : :int/fp : :branch/* 7200:2 integer ALU:load-store/int :1 FP :load-store/fp : :int/int : :int/fp : :branch/* 7300LC:2 integer ALU:load-store/int :1 FP :load-store/fp : :int/fp : :branch/* In conclusion, all of the above CPUs are dual-issue, or 2-way super- scalar, with the exception that on CPUs with two integer ALUs only one of these units is capable of doing shift, load/store, and test operations. Additionally, there are several kinds of restrictions placed upon the superscalar execution: For the purpose of showing which instructions are allowed to proceed together through the pipeline, they are divided into classes: tab (:) ; l l _ _ l l . Class:Description flop:floating point operation ldst:loads and stores flex:integer ALU mm:shifts, extracts and deposits nul:might nullify successor bv:BV, BE br:other branches fsys:FTEST and FP status/exception sys:system control instructions For CPUs with two integer ALUs (7100LC, 7200, 7300LC), the following ta- ble lists the instructions which are allowed to be executed concurrently: tab (:) ; l l _ _ l l . First:Second instruction flop: + ldst/flex/mm/nul/bv/br ldst: + flop/flex/mm/nul/br flex: + flop/ldst/flex/mm/nul/br/fsys mm: + flop/ldst/flex/fsys nul: + flop sys: never bundled ldst + ldst is also possible under certain circumstances, which is then called "double word load/store". The following restrictions are placed upon the superscalar execution: · An instruction that modifies a register will not be bundled with another instruction that takes this register as operand. Exception: a flop can be bundled with an FP store of the flop's result register. · An FP load to one word of a doubleword register will not be bundled with a flop that uses the other doubleword of this register. · A flop will not be bundled with an FP load if both instructions have the same target register. · An instruction that could set the carry/borrow bits will not be bun- dled with an instruction that uses carry/borrow bits. · An instruction which is in the delay slot of a branch is never bun- dled with other instructions. · An instruction which is at an odd word address and executed as a tar- get of a taken branch is never bundled. · An instruction which might nullify its successor is never bundled with this successor. Only if the successor is a flop instruction is this bundle allowed.
PERFORMANCE MONITOR COPROCESSOR
The performance monitor coprocessor is an optional, implementation-depen- dent coprocessor which provides a minimal common software interface to implementation-dependent performance monitor hardware.
DEBUG SPECIAL UNIT
The debug special function unit is an optional, architected SFU which provides hardware assistance for software debugging using breakpoints. The debug SFU is currently defined only for Level 0 processors.

HISTORY
The cpu driver was written by Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org> for the HPPA port for OpenBSD 2.5. It was ported to NetBSD 1.6 by Matthew Fredette. NetBSD 7.0.2 April 4, 2002 NetBSD 7.0.2
