2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Fix _PAGE_EXEC handling.David S. Miller
First of all, use the known _PAGE_EXEC_{4U,4V} value instead of loading _PAGE_EXEC from memory. We either know which one to use by context, or we can code patch the test. Next, we need to check executability of a PTE in the generic TSB miss handler. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: More TLB/TSB handling fixes.David S. Miller
The SUN4V convention with non-shared TSBs is that the context bit of the TAG is clear. So we have to choose an "invalid" bit and initialize new TSBs appropriately. Otherwise a zero TAG looks "valid". Make sure, for the window fixup cases, that we use the right global registers and that we don't potentially trample on the live global registers in etrap/rtrap handling (%g2 and %g6) and that we put the missing virtual address properly in %g5.

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Deal with PTE layout differences in SUN4V.David S. Miller
Yes, you heard it right, they changed the PTE layout for SUN4V. Ho hum... This is the simple and inefficient way to support this. It'll get optimized, don't worry. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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]: 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>
