      [PATCH] powerpc: correct cacheflush loop in zImage · eacb1962
      Olaf Hering authored
      Correct the loop for cacheflush. No idea where I copied the code from,
      but the original does not work correct. Maybe the flush is not needed.

      powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwards · 0a45d449
      Paul Mackerras authored
      The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
      effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
      gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond.  There were two reasons:
      (1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
      timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
      (2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
      jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
      when the timebase factor gets reduced.
      
      This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
      2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
      adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
      result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
      and the timer interrupt is late).  In this case the adjustment will
      reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

      powerpc: Disallow lparcfg being a module · 82dfdcae
      Paul Mackerras authored
      The lparcfg code needs several things which are pretty arcane internal
      details and which we don't want to export, which means that lparcfg
      doesn't work when built as a module.  This makes it a bool instead of
      a tristate in the Kconfig so that users can't try to build it as a
      module.
