[PATCH 1/6] MIPS: Add CPU shared FTLB feature detection

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

 



Some systems share FTLB RAMs or entries between sibling CPUs (ie.
hardware threads, or VP(E)s, within a core). These properties require
kernel handling in various places. As a start this patch introduces
cpu_has_shared_ftlb_ram & cpu_has_shared_ftlb_entries feature macros
which we set appropriately for I6400 & I6500 CPUs. Further patches will
make use of these macros as appropriate.

This depends upon my "MIPS: Probe the I6500 CPU" patch being applied
first in order to make use of CPU_I6500.
