Which old code? You mean the MCE code I think. That's a bug fix, so it should
be a separate patch.

Now that these are generic actions then they should go in cputable.h with the
flush hook.

So the current version is:

_GLOBAL(__flush_tlb_power7)
	li	r6,128
	mtctr	r6
	mr	r7,r3		/* IS field */
	ptesync
2:	tlbiel	r7
	addi	r7,r7,0x1000
	bdnz	2b
	ptesync
1:	blr

ie. a loop preceeded and followed by ptesync.

Your new version is:

> +}

ie. no ptesyncs at all.

But there's no mention of that in the changelog. You need to explain why it is
OK to drop the ptesyncs.

How about this:

void flush_tlb_206(unsigned num_sets, unsigned int action)
{
	unsigned long rb;
	int i;

	switch (action) {
	case FLUSH_TLB_ALL:
		rb = TLBIEL_INVAL_SET;
		break;
	case FLUSH_TLB_LPID:
		rb = TLBIEL_INVAL_SET_LPID;
		break;
	default:
		BUG();
	}

	for (i = 0; i < num_sets; i++) {
		asm volatile("tlbiel %0" : : "r" (rb));
		rb += 1 << TLBIEL_INVAL_SET_SHIFT;
	}
}

void flush_tlb_power8(unsigned int action)
{
	flush_tlb_206(POWER8_TLB_SETS, action);
}

void flush_tlb_power7(unsigned int action)
{
	flush_tlb_206(POWER7_TLB_SETS, action);
}

cheers
