2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Rename gl_{1,2}insn_patch --> sun4v_{1,2}insn_patchDavid S. Miller
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Initial sun4v TLB miss handling infrastructure.David S. Miller
Things are a little tricky because, unlike sun4u, we have to: 1) do a hypervisor trap to do the TLB load. 2) do the TSB lookup calculations by hand Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Sanitize %pstate writes for sun4v.David S. Miller
If we're just switching between different alternate global sets, nop it out on sun4v. Also, get rid of all of the alternate global save/restore in the OBP CIF trampoline code. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Add initial code to twiddle %gl on trap entry/exit.David S. Miller
Instead of setting/clearing PSTATE_AG we have to change the %gl register value on sun4v. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Refine code sequences to get the cpu id.David S. Miller
On uniprocessor, it's always zero for optimize that. On SMP, the jmpl to the stub kills the return address stack in the cpu branch prediction logic, so expand the code sequence inline and use a code patching section to fix things up. This also always better and explicit register selection, which will be taken advantage of in a future changeset. The hard_smp_processor_id() function is big, so do not inline it. Fix up tests for Jalapeno to also test for Serrano chips too. These tests want "jbus Ultra-IIIi" cases to match, so that is what we should test for. Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Access TSB with physical addresses when possible.David S. Miller
This way we don't need to lock the TSB into the TLB. The trick is that every TSB load/store is registered into a special instruction patch section. The default uses virtual addresses, and the patch instructions use physical address load/stores. We can't do this on all chips because only cheetah+ and later have the physical variant of the atomic quad load. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Increase swapper_tsb size to 32K.David S. Miller

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1.David S. Miller
We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC MMUs. SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place to store the per-cpu base pointers. We hid them away in the TSB base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-) Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size. Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all(). The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space gets it's own private 8K TSB. Later we can add code to dynamically increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows. An 8KB TSB is good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to incur many capacity and conflict misses. We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB. Another area for refinement is large page size support. We could use a secondary address space TSB to handle those. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-12-28[SPARC]: Use STABS_DEBUG and DWARF_DEBUG macros in vmlinux.lds.SDavid S. Miller
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-25[SPARC64]: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.David S. Miller
The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting with an instruction sequence like this: ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load xor %g2, %g4, %g5 succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table walk starting at swapper_pg_dir. We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build the kernel page tables for the linear mapping. After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk. With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
