Re: [PATCH 0/2] Enable MSR_TM lazily

We have it built with TLE support in Ubuntu (starting in 15.04), SLES 12 (since SP2) and AT 9.0-0. However, it is only enabled by default in Ubuntu. For SLES and AT 9.0, the user has to set an env var to enable it (it's a hack). There is some work upstream to add a tunables framework to glibc. That will allow us to properly provide a way to users enable/disable TLE as they wish. That patch is almost in, and as soon as it's committed, we'll start working on the tunable for TLE. -- Carlos Eduardo Seo Software Engineer - Linux on Power Toolchain c...@linux.vnet.ibm.com
Re: [PATCH] Add hwcap2 bits for POWER9

With that said, I was planning to revert both commits d2de9ef7 and b1f19b8e if we don't get the kernel patch accepted into the powerpc tree in time for the release 2.23. Kernel patch is in, commit f689b742f217b2ffe7925f8a6521b208ee995309 Regards, -- Carlos Eduardo Seo Software Engineer - Linux on Power Toolchain c...@linux.vnet.ibm.com ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
