2008-07-08SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unit, cleanupsCliff Wickman
TLB shootdown for SGI UV. v1: 6/2 original v2: 6/3 corrections/improvements per Ingo's review v3: 6/4 split atomic operations off to a separate patch (Jeremy's review) v4: 6/12 include <mach_apic.h> rather than <asm/mach-bigsmp/mach_apic.h> (fixes a !SMP build problem that Ingo found) fix the index on uv_table_bases[blade] Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-07-08x86, SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unitCliff Wickman
TLB shootdown for SGI UV. Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq): x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch Jack Steiner May 29 This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit". The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c). This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware is not yet available. The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics. The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging. Issues to be fixed later: - The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200 (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future. - The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem in the simulator.
