Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: drop unused self-modifying code alternative to FixupDAR.
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 20:00:34 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b095e12c82fcba1ac4c09fc3b85d969f36614746.1566417610.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
The code which fixups the DAR on TLB errors for dbcX instructions
has a self-modifying code alternative that has never been used.
Drop it.
