* tile: do less L1 I-cache evictionChris Metcalf2013-08-301-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | We had been doing an automatic full eviction of the L1 I$ everywhere whenever we did a kernel-space TLB flush. It turns out this isn't necessary, since all the callers already handle doing a flush if necessary. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamicallyChris Metcalf2012-05-251-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new arch_make_huge_pte() method. The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry. One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument on the boot command line. A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of the page table. To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem. As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support, which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

* tile: replace mm->cpu_vm_mask with mm_cpumask()KOSAKI Motohiro2011-05-041-6/+6
| | | | | | | | We plan to change mm->cpu_vm_mask definition later. Thus, this patch convert it into proper macro. Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.Chris Metcalf2010-06-041-0/+97
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
