The ISA suggests ptesync after setting a pte, to prevent a table walk initiated by a subsequent access from missing that store and causing a spurious fault. This is an architectual allowance that allows an implementation's page table walker to be incoherent with the store queue. However there is no correctness problem in taking a spurious fault in userspace -- the kernel copes with these at any time, so the updated pte will be found eventually. Spurious kernel faults on vmap memory must be avoided, so a ptesync is put into flush_cache_vmap. On POWER9 so far I have not found a measurable window where this can result in more minor faults, so as an optimisation, remove the costly ptesync from pte updates. If an implementation benefits from ptesync, it would be better to add it back in update_mmu_cache, so it's not done for things like fork(2). fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 5.2% (12400->13100).

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h. Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs reg.h (for MSR_EE). So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own. Signed-off-by:

flush/clean/invalidate _dcache_range() functions are all very similar and are quite short. They are mainly used in __dma_sync() perf_event locate them in the top 3 consumming functions during heavy ethernet activity They are good candidate for inlining, as __dma_sync() does almost nothing but calling them Signed-off-by:

Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time. The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu. Signed-off-by:

__flush_dcache_icache_phys() requires the ability to access the memory with the MMU disabled, which means that on a 32-bit system any memory above 4 GiB is inaccessible. In particular, mpc86xx is 32-bit and can have more than 4 GiB of RAM. Signed-off-by:

In function flush_icache_range(), we use cpu_has_feature() to test the feature bit of CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE. But this seems not optimal for two reasons: a) For ppc32, the function __flush_icache_range() already do this check with the macro END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET. b) Compare with the cpu_has_feature(), the method of using macro END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET will not introduce any runtime overhead.

Add support to disable and re-enable individual cores at runtime on MPC85xx/QorIQ SMP machines. Currently support e500v1/e500v2 core. MPC85xx machines use ePAPR spin-table in boot page for CPU kick-off. This patch uses the boot page from bootloader to boot core at runtime. It supports 32-bit and 36-bit physical address.

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So, this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this. The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise. See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion on LKML for more information. Signed-off-by:

This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by:

Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away without cache flushing when forking. This patch adds a new cache flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

The ppc32 and ppc64 versions of cacheflush.h were almost identical. The two versions of cache.h are fairly similar, except for a bunch of register definitions in the ppc32 version which probably belong better elsewhere. This patch, therefore, merges both headers. Notable points: - there are several functions in cacheflush.h which exist only on ppc32 or only on ppc64. These are handled by #ifdef for now, but these should probably be consolidated, along with the actual code behind them later. - Confusingly, both ppc32 and ppc64 have a flush_dcache_range(), but they're subtly different: it uses dcbf on ppc32 and dcbst on ppc64, ppc64 has a flush_inval_dcache_range() which uses dcbf. These too should be merged and consolidated later. - Also flush_dcache_range() was defined in cacheflush.h on ppc64, and in cache.h on ppc32. In the merged version it's in cacheflush.h - On ppc32 flush_icache_range() is a normal function from misc.S. On ppc64, it was wrapper, testing a feature bit before calling __flush_icache_range() which does the actual flush. This patch takes the ppc64 approach, which amounts to no change on ppc32, since CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE will never be set there, but does mean renaming flush_icache_range() to __flush_icache_range() in arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S - The PReP register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c - The 8xx register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to a new asm-powerpc/reg_8xx.h, included from reg.h - flush_dcache_all() was defined on ppc32 (only), but was never called (although it was exported). Thus this patch removes it from cacheflush.h and from ARCH=powerpc (misc_32.S) entirely. It's left in ARCH=ppc for now, with the prototype moved to ppc_ksyms.c.

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!
