Subject: [patch 05/12] Add text_poke and sync_core to powerpc
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:26:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090924133359.734558666@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090924132626.485545323@polymtl.ca

[-- Attachment #1: add-text-poke-and-sync-core-to-powerpc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1413 bytes --]

- Needed on architectures where we must surround live instruction modification
  with "WP flag disable".
- Turns into a memcpy on powerpc since there is no WP flag activated for
  instruction pages (yet..).
- Add empty sync_core to powerpc so it can be used in architecture independent
  code.
