Subject: [PATCH 14/15] powerpc: Perform an isync to synchronize CPUs coming out of secondary_hold
Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 16:14:10 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301984051-18413-15-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1301984051-18413-1-git-send-email-benh@kernel.crashing.org>
We need to do that to guarantee they see any code change done by
dynamic patching during boot.
