      ARC: Brown paper bag bug in macro for checking cache color · 3e87974d
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      The VM_EXEC check in update_mmu_cache() was getting optimized away
      because of a stupid error in definition of macro addr_not_cache_congruent()
      
      The intention was to have the equivalent of following:
      
      	if (a || (1 ? b : 0))
      
      but we ended up with following:
      
      	if (a || 1 ? b : 0)
      
      And because precedence of '||' is more that that of '?', gcc was optimizing
      away evaluation of <a>
      
      Nasty Repercussions:
      1. For non-aliasing configs it would mean some extraneous dcache flushes
         for non-code pages if U/K mappings were not congruent.
      2. For aliasing config, some needed dcache flush for code pages might
         be missed if U/K mappings were congruent.

      ARC: [mm] Aliasing VIPT dcache support 2/4 · 4102b533
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
      by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
      If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
      one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)
      
      Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
      of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
      When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
      the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)
      
      Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
      handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...
      
      flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
      kernel reads it via the GUP path.
      
      Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
      dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

      ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing VIPT) · eacd0e95
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent
      views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when
      
      * kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to
        userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv)
      * kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings
        (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones)
      
      However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always
      be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at
      all (or delayed indefinitely).
      
      The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages.
      Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be
      written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines
      fetch will get the right data.
      
      Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

      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.
