    powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime · 2d1b2027
    Kumar Gala 提交于
    To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
    at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
    the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
    is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.
    
    We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
    needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
    for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.
    
    Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
    as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.
