Subject: [PATCH 4/4] powerpc: Change PACA from SPRG3 to SPRG1
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:52:56 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090715065300.BECACDDDD4@ozlabs.org> (raw)
This change the SPRG used to store the PACA on ppc64 from
SPRG3 to SPRG1. SPRG3 is user readable on most processors
and we want to use it for other things. We change the scratch
SPRG used by exception vectors from SRPG1 to SPRG2.
