[PATCH 10/13] powerpc/64s: idle simplify KVM idle on POWER9

2017-08-05 Thread Nicholas Piggin
POWER9 CPUs have independent MMU contexts per thread so KVM does not have to bring sibling threads into real-mode when switching MMU mode to guest. This can simplify POWER9 sleep/wake paths and avoids hwsyncs. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin --- arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_book3s_asm.h | 4
