2008-11-05powerpc: Silence software timebase syncBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When no hardware method is provided to sync the timebase registers across the machine, and the platform doesn't sync them for us, then we use a generic software implementation. Currently, the code for that has many printks, and they don't have log levels. Most of the printks are only useful for debugging the code, and since we haven't had any problems with it for years, this turns them into pr_debug.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Fix wraparound problem in smp-tbsync on 32-bitAdrian Cox
The patch below fixes an arithmetic wrap-around issue on 32bit machines using smp-tbsync. Without this patch a timebase value over 0x000000007fffffff will hang the boot process while bringing up secondary CPUs.

2006-08-30[POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebasePaul Mackerras
Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled. This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
