This patch series adds support for using directed doorbell interrupts for IPIs between threads within a core, which is supported by POWER8.

Please note that this series depends on this series posted by Michael Neuling, as it adds additional relocation on exception vectors: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2012-November/101910.html _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
