    [POWERPC] spufs: Add isolated-mode SPE recycling support · 099814bb
    Jeremy Kerr 提交于
    When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent
    storage, which is per-SPE. In order for isolated-mode apps to
    communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that
    isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications.
    
    Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode
    recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the
    isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same
    physical SPE.
    
    This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive
    access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.
