      [SPARC64]: Dynamically grow TSB in response to RSS growth. · bd40791e
      David S. Miller 提交于
      As the RSS grows, grow the TSB in order to reduce the likelyhood
      of hash collisions and thus poor hit rates in the TSB.
      
      This definitely needs some serious tuning.

      [SPARC64]: Add infrastructure for dynamic TSB sizing. · 98c5584c
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This also cleans up tsb_context_switch().  The assembler
      routine is now __tsb_context_switch() and the former is
      an inline function that picks out the bits from the mm_struct
      and passes it into the assembler code as arguments.
      
      setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the
      TSB.  Later when we support using the physical address quad
      load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use
      the physical address for the TSB register value and set
      the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

      [SPARC64]: TSB refinements. · 09f94287
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Move {init_new,destroy}_context() out of line.
      
      Do not put huge pages into the TSB, only base page size translations.
      There are some clever things we could do here, but for now let's be
      correct instead of fancy.

      [SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1. · 74bf4312
      David S. Miller 提交于
      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.
