mainlining shenanigans

We are running low on CPU feature bits, so we only want to use them when it's really necessary. CPU_FTR_SUBCORE is only used in one place, and only in C, so we don't need it in order to make asm patching work. It can only be set on "Power8" CPUs, which in practice means POWER8, POWER8E and POWER8NVL. There are no plans to implement it on future CPUs, but if there ever were we could retrofit it then. Although KVM uses subcores, it never looks at the CPU feature, it either looks at the ISA level or the threads_per_subcore value. So drop the CPU feature and do a PVR check instead. Drop the device tree "subcore" feature as we no longer support doing anything with it, and we will drop it from skiboot too. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
