From 057b6d7e62ea4e6b1809e2946929d0d586cad142 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hari Bathini Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 03:30:34 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/book3s64: Remove __end_handlers marker The __end_handlers marker was intended to mark down upto code that gets called from exception prologs. But that hasn't kept pace with code changes. Case in point, slb_miss_realmode being called from exception prolog code but isn't below __end_handlers marker. So, __end_handlers marker is as good as a comment but could be misleading at times if it isn't in sync with the code, as is the case now. So, let us avoid this confusion by having a better comment and removing __end_handlers marker altogether.
