From: Michael Neuling mikey@neuling.org Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 03:52:05 +1100 Subject: powerpc/pseries: Add H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags & wrapper
From: Michael Neuling mikey@neuling.org
commit 191eccb1580939fb0d47deb405b82a85b0379070 upstream.
A new hypervisor call has been defined to communicate various characteristics of the CPU to guests. Add definitions for the hcall number, flags and a wrapper function.
