This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.
Reviewed by Jason.
call overhead is incurred as we start sprinkling pmap_update() calls
throughout the source tree (no pmaps currently defer operations, but
we are adding the infrastructure to allow them to do so).
that the page being zero'd was not completed and that page zeroing
should be aborted. This may be used by machine-dependent code doing
slow page access to reduce the latency of running a process that has
become runnable while in the middle of doing a slow page zero.
initialization code.
- Abandon mips_init_proc0() and do the 4 lines straightly in MD mach_init().
- Restore a block of code accidentally lost in prevous commit.
- Change the term 'tlbpid' to a MIPS3 nomenclature 'asid'.
- Hide PTE size exposures by symbolic names in locore.S
decoupled from long or int or long long. Define macros in asm.h to facilitate
choosing these on a port by port basis.
* Create <machine/pubassym.h> mechanism to allow jmp_buf structure size
to be calculated at system build time.
* Define _MIPS_BSD_SIM macro which specifies what calling style is appropritae
for the architecture. For 64-bit oriented systems set the Status Register
to allow 64-bit instructions.
* Remove UADDR related macros because kernel U structure is now mapped
normally.
* Separate cpu.h into cpu.h and cpuarch.h to keep things neat.
* Add support for QED 52xx processors
UVM relies on pmap modules keeping track of modified/referenced bits
after a page has been removed from all mappings. So *dont* clear
PV_REFERENCED or PV_MODIFIED flags in pmap_remove().
Track page modification status in the PV entry like the alpha, and let
pmap_is_modified() return current status back to the VM system. UVM now
works reliably.
Garbage collect the old pmap_attribute[] stuff.
* prototype and definition for pmap_activate(p). Updates the segtab,
and changes the active ASID if p == curproc.
* Make reserved fixed-address (UADDR) kernelstack PTEs global,
so we still have a kernel stack after pmap_activate() on curproc.
* make KSEG2 mappings for p_addr global (see above.)
Seems to detune contextswitch and NTP resolution (by 60 ms), but
thepmap_activate() interface is mandatory. Needs more thought.
Move mips-specific pmap definitions (PMAP_PREFER for mips3, declaratin
of pmap_bootstrap() for the system-specific machdep.c) from
arch/pmax/include/pmap.h to arch/mips/include/pmap.h.
