Aliasing in pgtable-bits.h (CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From pgtable-bits.h:

#if defined(CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32) && defined(CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR)
 
#define _PAGE_PRESENT               (1<<6)  /* implemented in software */
#define _PAGE_READ                  (1<<7)  /* implemented in software */
#define _PAGE_WRITE                 (1<<8)  /* implemented in software */
#define _PAGE_ACCESSED              (1<<9)  /* implemented in software */
#define _PAGE_MODIFIED              (1<<10) /* implemented in software */
 
#define _PAGE_R4KBUG                (1<<0)  /* workaround for r4k bug  */
#define _PAGE_GLOBAL                (1<<0)

Is the aliasing between R4KBUG & GLOBAL intentional? This is the only CONFIG case where it
is done. Superficially, I can't see R4KBUG used anywhere, so maybe it doesn't matter. But
if R4KBUG truly isn't used, why not consider removing it entirely from all PTE layouts?
