[PATCH v5 09/10] powerpc/pmem: Disable synchronous fault by default

Wed Jun 10 16:23:42 AEST 2020


This adds a kernel config option that controls whether MAP_SYNC is enabled by
default. With POWER10, architecture is adding new pmem flush and sync
instructions. The kernel should prevent the usage of MAP_SYNC if applications
are not using the new instructions on newer hardware.

This config allows user to control whether MAP_SYNC should be enabled by
default or not.
