[PATCH 5/6] powerpc/64s: remove unnecessary translation cache flushes at boot

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Tue Sep 3 01:29:30 AEST 2019


The various translation structure invalidations performed in early boot
when the MMU is off are not required, because everything is invalidated
immediately before a CPU first enables its MMU (see early_init_mmu
and early_init_mmu_secondary).
