    [PATCH] ppc32: Suppress bogus info in /proc/ppc_htab on 64-bit cpus · 27ad14bc
    Paul Mackerras authored
    In the ppc32 kernel, we have a /proc/ppc_htab file that trawls through
    the MMU hash table and prints various statistics on it such as percent
    occupancy.  However, the hash table entry format is different on
    64-bit cpus (POWER3, G5) which the ppc32 kernel does support (in
    32-bit mode).
    
    This patch disables the scanning of the MMU hash table and printing of
    the statistics that we get from it on 64-bit cpus.  Since the
    statistics are only for interest, and the ppc32 kernel is being used
    less and less on 64-bit cpus now that the ppc64 kernel is in
    reasonable shape, I didn't think it worth while to add code to deal
    with the 64-bit HPTE format.
