2009-06-18gru: change resource assignment for kernel threadsJack Steiner
Change the way GRU resources are assigned for kernel threads. GRU contexts for kernel threads are now allocated on demand and can be stolen by user processes when idle. This allows MPI jobs to use ALL of the GRU resources when the kernel is not using them.

2009-06-18gru: support cch_allocate for kernel threadsJack Steiner
Change the interface to cch_allocate so that it can be used to allocate GRU contexts for kernel threads. Kernel threads use the GRU in unmapped mode and do not require ASIDs for the GRU TLB.

2009-04-02sgi-gru: add statistics to the GRU context management functionsJack Steiner
Add statistics to the GRU context management functions. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-04-02sgi-gru: change GRU CCH commands from inline functions to outofline functionsJack Steiner
Change the GRU instructions that manage contexts from inline functions to out-of-line functions. This simplifies adding statistics & error checking to these functions.
