2008-12-21powerpc/mm: Rework context management for CPUs with no hash tableBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This reworks the context management code used by 4xx,8xx and freescale BookE. It adds support for SMP by implementing a concept of stale context map to lazily flush the TLB on processors where a context may have been invalidated. This also contains the ground work for generalizing such lazy TLB flushing by just picking up a new PID and marking the old one stale. This will be implemented later. This is a first implementation that uses a global spinlock. Ideally, we should try to get at least the fast path (context ID already assigned) lockless or limited to a per context lock, but for now this will do. I tried to keep the UP case reasonably simple to avoid adding too much overhead to 8xx which does a lot of context stealing since it effectively has only 16 PIDs available.

2008-08-04powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
