Subject: [PATCH] smp-tbsync on 32-bit
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 14:35:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1163774148.9390.34.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

The patch below fixes an arithmetic wrap-around issue on 32bit machines
using smp-tbsync. Without this patch a timebase value over
0x000000007fffffff will hang the boot process while bringing up
secondary CPUs.
