2009-12-16gru: preload tlb for bcopy instructionsJack Steiner
Add anticipatory TLB dropins for GRU TLB misses that occur on BCOPY instructions that copy large amounts of data. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-16gru: expicitly set instruction status to activeJack Steiner
Explicitly set GRU instructions to "ACTIVE". This eliminates the need for barriers that would have been necessary to prevent reading the instruction "status" field before the GRU had actually started the instruction.

2009-12-16gru: add additional GRU statisticsJack Steiner
Add additional GRU statistics & debug messages. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-16gru: fix prefetch and speculation bugsJack Steiner
Fix several bugs related to prefetch, ordering & speculation: - GRU cch_allocate() instruction causes cacheable memory to be created. Add a barriers to prevent speculation from prefetching data before it exists. - Add memory barriers before cache-flush instructions to ensure that previously stored data is included in the line flushed to memory.

2009-12-16gru: improve messages for malfunctioning GRUsJack Steiner
Improve error messages for malfunctioning GRUs. Identify the type of instruction that is failing. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-06-18gru: change resource assignment for kernel threadsJack Steiner
Change the way GRU resources are assigned for kernel threads. GRU contexts for kernel threads are now allocated on demand and can be stolen by user processes when idle. This allows MPI jobs to use ALL of the GRU resources when the kernel is not using them.

2009-06-18gru: support cch_allocate for kernel threadsJack Steiner
Change the interface to cch_allocate so that it can be used to allocate GRU contexts for kernel threads. Kernel threads use the GRU in unmapped mode and do not require ASIDs for the GRU TLB.

2009-04-02sgi-gru: support multiple pagesizes in GRUJack Steiner
Add multiple pagesize support to the GRU driver. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-04-02sgi-gru: add statistics to the GRU context management functionsJack Steiner
Add statistics to the GRU context management functions. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-04-02sgi-gru: change GRU CCH commands from inline functions to outofline functionsJack Steiner
Change the GRU instructions that manage contexts from inline functions to out-of-line functions. This simplifies adding statistics & error checking to these functions.
