[PATCH] powerpc: Add an inline function to update HID0

From: Gautham R. Shenoy <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-04 08:31:14
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for powerpc (kvm/powerpc), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Section 3.7 of Version 1.2 of the Power8 Processor User's Manual
prescribes that updates to HID0 be preceded by a SYNC instruction and
followed by an ISYNC instruction (Page 91).

Create a function name update_hid0() which follows this recipe and
invoke it from the static split core path.
