[PATCH v3 34/52] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Restrict DSISR canary workaround to processors that require it

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Tue Oct 5 03:00:31 AEDT 2021


Use CPU_FTR_P9_RADIX_PREFETCH_BUG to apply the workaround, to test for
DD2.1 and below processors. This saves a mtSPR in guest entry.
