They are defined in arch/parisc/include/asm/assembly.h. To clarify my previous point, even if rest_specials is restoring PSW, the "restored" values are going to be overwritten during the rfi instruction, since that instruction is defined to restore PSW. The handshake here seems to be lost, with both the hardware and linux messing with PSW and IPSW and both expecting the other to not mess with the values. > > Why would they be needed to be restored in linux?
