[PATCH] powerpc: Add 1TB workaround for PA6T

From: Olof Johansson <hidden>
Date: 2007-10-12 06:44:15

PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.

We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.

I don't think the second hunk there is necessary, since
CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE will already get CPU_FTR_NO_SLBIE_B via
CPU_FTRS_PA6T.

On that, should we put CPU_FTR_1T_SEGMENT in CPU_FTR_POWER6 and
CPU_FTR_PA6T?  Then we can remove it from CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE also.

Oh, you're right. I just tacked it on with the 1T_SEGMENT.

I'll respin today. Ben wanted me to add some comments to the _switch
code as well regarding the slbie.

[PATCH v2] powerpc: Add 1TB workaround for PA6T

From: Olof Johansson <hidden>

PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.

We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.
