Subject: [PATCH V4 2/8] powerpc, process: Add functions flush_tm_state, flush_tmregs_to_thread
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 10:56:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415683597-22819-3-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1415683597-22819-1-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch creates a new function called flush_tm_state to flush
the existing transactional memory state from the thread. It also
creates a function called flush_tmregs_to_thread which will then
be used on subsequent patches in this series.
