Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: drop RTAS-based timebase synchronization
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2023 22:28:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230110042845.121792-1-nathanl@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The pseries platform has been LPAR-only for several generations, and
the PAPR spec:
* Guarantees that timebase synchronization is performed by
the platform ("The timebase registers are synchronized by the
platform before CPUs are given to the OS" - 7.3.8 SMP Support).
* Completely omits the RTAS freeze-time-base and thaw-time-base RTAS
functions, which are CHRP artifacts.
This code is effectively unused on currently supported models, so drop
it.
