chore: add migration/ bundle for cross-machine setup
Bundles state that lives OUTSIDE the xenia-rs repo so a fresh clone on
another machine can be brought up to identical configuration via
migration/setup.sh:
- claude-memory/ ~/.claude/projects/-home-fabi-RE-Project-Sylpheed/memory/
(103 files, 1.1 MB - MEMORY.md + every
project_xenia_rs_*.md from audits
addis_signext through audit-058)
- project-root/dot-claude/ <project-root>/.claude/settings.json
(Stop hook + permissions)
- project-root/ppc-manual/ <project-root>/ppc-manual/
(PowerPC reference docs, 397 files, 3.7 MB)
- project-root/run-canary.sh <project-root>/run-canary.sh
- README.md Human-readable setup checklist
- setup.sh Idempotent installer (also reclones
xenia-canary at pinned HEAD 6de80dffe)
- MANIFEST.md Per-file mapping + per-file-not-bundled
restoration recipe
Excluded from bundle (not shippable via git):
- Sylpheed ISO (7.8 GB; copyright; manual copy required)
- sylpheed.db (395 MB; regenerable from XEX via analysis tooling)
- target/ build artifacts (rebuild on target)
- audit-runs probe firehoses (.log/.stdout/.stderr ~11 GB; rerun if needed)
- audit-runs memory dumps (.bin ~4.5 GB; rerun audit-026/027/029 if needed)
- xenia-canary checkout (setup.sh reclones from
git.mc02.dev/fabi/Xenia-Canary.git at HEAD 6de80dffe)

- **Opcode word:** `0x10000644`
|
||||
- **Primary opcode (bits 0–5):** `4`
|
||||
- **Extended opcode:** `1604`
|
||||
- **Synchronising:** no
|
||||
|
||||
| Bits | Field | Meaning |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 0–5 | `OPCD` | primary opcode (4) |
|
||||
| 6–10 | `VRT/VD` | destination vector register |
|
||||
| 11–15 | `VRA/VA` | source A vector register |

## Operands
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Role | Description |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| `VB` | mtvscr: read | Source B vector register. |
|
||||
| `VSCR` | mtvscr: write | Vector Status and Control Register (NJ/SAT bits). |
|
||||
|
||||
## Register Effects
|
||||
|
||||
### `mtvscr`
|
||||
|
||||
- **Reads (always):** `VB`
|
||||
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
|
||||
- **Writes (always):** `VSCR`
|
||||
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
|
||||
|
||||
## Status-Register Effects
|
||||
|
||||
- `mtvscr`: **VSCR[SAT]** may be stickied on saturating vector operations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Operation (pseudocode)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
; Pseudocode derives directly from the xenia-rs interpreter
|
||||
; arm (see Implementation References). Operation semantics:
|
||||
; - Read source operands from the fields listed under Operands.
|
||||
; - Apply the arithmetic / logical / memory action described
|
||||
; in the Description field above.
|
||||
; - Write results to the destination register(s); update any
|
||||
; status bits enumerated under Status-Register Effects.
|
||||
; Consult the IBM AIX reference link under IBM Reference for
|
||||
; canonical PPC-style pseudocode where xenia's expression is
|
||||
; terse.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## C Translation Example
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/* C translation: the xenia-rs interpreter arm below in */
|
||||
/* Implementation References is the authoritative semantic */
|
||||
/* snapshot. Translate it line-by-line: */
|
||||
/* - ctx.gpr[N] -> r[N] (or f[]/v[] for FPRs/VRs) */
|
||||
/* - mem.read_u*/write_u* -> mem_read_u*_be / mem_write_u*_be */
|
||||
/* - ctx.update_cr_signed(fld, v) -> update_cr_signed(fld, v) */
|
||||
/* - ctx.xer_ca / xer_ov / xer_so -> xer.CA / xer.OV / xer.SO */
|
||||
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
|
||||
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */
|
||||
```

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
|
||||
|
||||
- **Operation.** Reads the **low 32 bits of the rightmost word** of `VB` (bytes 12..15 in big-endian) and stores them into VSCR. Other bits of `VB` are ignored.
|
||||
- **Bits actually significant.** Of the 32 source bits, only **NJ (bit 16)** and **SAT (bit 31)** are architecturally meaningful on the Xenon. All other bits should be written as zero; behaviour for non-zero values is implementation-defined.
|
||||
- **Clearing SAT.** The dominant use is `mtvscr vN` with `vN` zeroed via `vxor vN, vN, vN`, which writes VSCR=0 and thereby clears the sticky SAT bit before a fresh batch of saturating vector ops.
|
||||
- **Setting NJ.** Switching to/from "Java mode" (`NJ=0`, full IEEE denormal handling) versus "Non-Java mode" (`NJ=1`, flush-to-zero) is the other meaningful use. Game audio / DSP code occasionally toggles this to match a precise IEEE expectation.
|
||||
- **xenia simplification.** xenia-rs stores VSCR identically to a vector register and copies the source straight in: `ctx.vscr = ctx.vr[VB]`. Subsequent xenia AltiVec ops do consult `VSCR[SAT]` for sticky updates, so the architecturally-relevant behaviour is preserved. NJ's flush-to-zero semantics are honoured by xenia's vector denormal paths.
|
||||
- **Not synchronising.** PowerISA does not require `isync` after `mtvscr`, but library code occasionally pairs them as a defensive measure.
|
||||
|
||||
## Related Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
- [`mfvscr`](mfvscr.md) — read VSCR into a vector register (the inverse).
|
||||
- AltiVec saturating ops (`vaddubs`, `vsubuhs`, …) — primary writers of `VSCR[SAT]`; `mtvscr` is the only way to clear it.
|
||||
- [`mtspr`](mtspr.md) — for non-vector control registers; VSCR has its own opcode.
|
||||
|
||||
`mtvscr` has no simplified mnemonics.
