Subject: [PATCH] - Save register stack contents on cpu start
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 16:34:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060831163447.GA28508@sgi.com> (raw)
The SN PROM uses the register stack in the slave loop. The contents
must be preserved for the OS to return to the slave loop via offlining
a cpu or for kexec. A 'flushrs" is needed to force the stack to be written
to memory prior to changing bspstore.
