From 97b3be1e9404f4c1645f3286428abd4d2052041e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alistair Popple Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 17:03:09 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/ppc476: Disable BTAC This patch disables the branch target address CAM which under specific circumstances may cause the processor to skip execution of 1-4 instructions. This fixes IBM Erratum #47.
