2009-12-17MIPS: Put PGD in C0_CONTEXT for 64-bit R2 processors.David Daney
Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers. Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.

2009-11-02MIPS: Don't write ones to reserved entryhi bits.Ralf Baechle
We've silently been relying on the hardware chopping off excess, reserved ASID bits for no better reason that it saving an instruction. Because we already have: #define cpu_asid(cpu, mm) (cpu_context((cpu), (mm)) & ASID_MASK) in <asm/mmu_context.h>. We can use a cleanup to avoid writing non-zero bits into the reserved entryhi bits. This avoid triggering some debugging assertion in the Cavium simulator. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2009-09-24cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: mipsRusty Russell
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask. It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-24MIPS: Build fix - include <linux/smp.h> into all smp_processor_id() users.Ralf Baechle
Some of the were relying into smp.h being dragged in by another header which of course is fragile. <asm/cpu-info.h> uses smp_processor_id() only in macros and including smp.h there leads to an include loop, so don't change cpu-info.h. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
