    [PATCH] ppc64: Fix booting on LPAR machines with more than 1 CPU · cd23adad
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    The exception rewrite contains a small bug that prevents bring up of CPUs
    on logically partitioned machines.
    
    The kernel is trying to zero the backlink on the new stack while running
    with relocation disabled, which potentially cause it to try to access an
    address outside of the region allowed in real mode.  This seem to be a
    leftover from previous code as we also zero the backlink later after
    turning off the MMU. 
    
    This patch removes the offending bit.
