Currently the radix TLB code includes support for CPUs that do *not* have MMU_FTR_LOCKLESS_TLBIE. On those CPUs we are required to take a global spinlock before issuing a tlbie. Radix can only be built for 64-bit Book3s CPUs, and of those, only POWER4, 970, Cell and PA6T do not have MMU_FTR_LOCKLESS_TLBIE. Although it's possible to build a kernel with Radix support that can also boot on those CPUs, we happen to know that in reality none of those CPUs support the Radix MMU, so the code can never actually run on those CPUs. So remove the native_tlbie_lock in the Radix TLB code. Note that there is another lock of the same name in the hash code, which is unaffected by this patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
