-
-Facilities specific to PowerPC that are not specific to a particular
-operating system are declared in @file{sys/platform/ppc.h}.

-@deftypefun {uint64_t} __ppc_get_timebase (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Read the current value of the Time Base Register.
-
-The @dfn{Time Base Register} is a 64-bit register that stores a monotonically
-incremented value updated at a system-dependent frequency that may be
-different from the processor frequency.  More information is available in
-@cite{Power ISA 2.06b - Book II - Section 5.2}.
-
-@code{__ppc_get_timebase} uses the processor's time base facility directly
-without requiring assistance from the operating system, so it is very
-efficient.

-@c  __get_clockfreq @mtuinit @asucorrupt:init @acucorrupt:init @acsfd
-@c    the initialization of the static timebase_freq is not exactly
-@c    safe, because hp_timing_t cannot be atomically set up.

-@c   read dup ok
-@c   memcpy dup ok
-@c   memmem dup ok
-@c   close dup @acsfd
-Read the current frequency at which the Time Base Register is updated.
-
-This frequency is not related to the processor clock or the bus clock.
-It is also possible that this frequency is not constant.  More information is
-available in @cite{Power ISA 2.06b - Book II - Section 5.2}.

-
-The following functions provide hints about the usage of resources that are
-shared with other processors.  They can be used, for example, if a program
-waiting on a lock intends to divert the shared resources to be used by other
-processors.  More information is available in @cite{Power ISA 2.06b - Book II -
-Section 3.2}.

-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_yield (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Provide a hint that performance will probably be improved if shared resources
-dedicated to the executing processor are released for use by other processors.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_mdoio (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Provide a hint that performance will probably be improved if shared resources
-dedicated to the executing processor are released until all outstanding storage
-accesses to caching-inhibited storage have been completed.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_mdoom (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Provide a hint that performance will probably be improved if shared resources
-dedicated to the executing processor are released until all outstanding storage
-accesses to cacheable storage for which the data is not in the cache have been
-completed.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_med (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Set the Program Priority Register to medium value (default).
-
-The @dfn{Program Priority Register} (PPR) is a 64-bit register that controls
-the program's priority.  By adjusting the PPR value the programmer may
-improve system throughput by causing the system resources to be used
-more efficiently, especially in contention situations.
-The three unprivileged states available are covered by the functions
-@code{__ppc_set_ppr_med} (medium -- default), @code{__ppc_set_ppc_low} (low)
-and @code{__ppc_set_ppc_med_low} (medium low).  More information
-available in @cite{Power ISA 2.06b - Book II - Section 3.1}.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_low (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Set the Program Priority Register to low value.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_med_low (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Set the Program Priority Register to medium low value.
-@end deftypefun
-
-Power ISA 2.07 extends the priorities that can be set to the Program Priority
-Register (PPR).  The following functions implement the new priority levels:
-very low and medium high.
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_very_low (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Set the Program Priority Register to very low value.
-@end deftypefun
-
-@deftypefun {void} __ppc_set_ppr_med_high (void)
-@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
-Set the Program Priority Register to medium high value.  The medium high
-priority is privileged and may only be set during certain time intervals by
-problem-state programs.  If the program priority is medium high when the time
-interval expires or if an attempt is made to set the priority to medium high
-when it is not allowed, the priority is set to medium.
