From 9863c28a2af90a56c088f5f6288d7f6d2c923c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Yang Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 16:26:47 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Emulate sync instruction variants Reserved fields of the sync instruction have been used for other instructions (e.g. lwsync). On processors that do not support variants of the sync instruction, emulate it by executing a sync to subsume the effect of the intended instruction.
