      ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings · 24603fdd
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made
      coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page().
      
      However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr
      (index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a
      line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus
      the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented
      efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform
      the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at
      the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of
      visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless).
      
      Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in
      update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics.
      With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done.

      ARC: SMP support · 41195d23
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions.
      
      ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are
      are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This
      includes:
      -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI)
      -Cache coherency
      -load-locked/store-conditional
      ...
      
      The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP
      because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit
      of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler
      prologues to keep them re-entrant.
      
      Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to
      SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help
      with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012).
      
      Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so
      multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is
      addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

      ARC: MMU Context Management · f1f3347d
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      ARC700 MMU provides for tagging TLB entries with a 8-bit ASID to avoid
      having to flush the TLB every task switch.
      
      It also allows for a quick way to invalidate all the TLB entries for
      task useful for:
      * COW sementics during fork()
      * task exit()ing
