Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 19/31] ARC: MMU Context Management
Date: Wed,  7 Nov 2012 10:47:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1352281674-2186-20-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1352281674-2186-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com>

ARC700 MMU provides for tagging TLB entries with a 8-bit ASID to avoid
having to flush the TLB every task switch.

It also allows for a quick way to invalidate all the TLB entries for
task useful for:
* COW sementics during fork()
* task exit()ing

+/*		ARC700 ASID Management
+ *
+ * ARC MMU provides 8-bit ASID (0..255) to TAG TLB entries, allowing entries
+ * with same vaddr (different tasks) to co-exit. This provides for
+ * "Fast Context Switch" i.e. no TLB flush on ctxt-switch
+ *
+ * Linux assigns each task a unique ASID. A simple round-robin allocation
+ * of H/w ASID is done using software tracker @asid_cache.
+ * When it reaches max 255, the allocation cycle starts afresh by flushing
+ * the entire TLB and wrapping ASID back to zero.
+ *
+ * For book-keeping, Linux uses a couple of data-structures:
+ *  -mm_struct has an @asid field to keep a note of task's ASID (needed at the
+ *   time of say switch_mm( )
+ *  -An array of mm structs @asid_mm_map[] for asid->mm the reverse mapping,
+ *  given an ASID, finding the mm struct associated.
+ *
+ * The round-robin allocation algorithm allows for ASID stealing.
+ * If asid tracker is at "x-1", a new req will allocate "x", even if "x" was
+ * already assigned to another (switched-out) task. Obviously the prev owner
+ * is marked with an invalid ASID to make it request for a new ASID when it
+ * gets scheduled next time. However its TLB entries (with ASID "x") could
+ * exist, which must be cleared before the same ASID is used by the new owner.
+ * Flushing them would be plausible but costly solution. Instead we force a
+ * allocation policy quirk, which ensures that a stolen ASID won't have any
+ * TLB entries associates, alleviating the need to flush.
+ * The quirk essentially is not allowing ASID allocated in prev cycle
+ * to be used past a roll-over in the next cycle.
+ * When this happens (i.e. task ASID > asid tracker), task needs to refresh
+ * its ASID, aligning it to current value of tracker. If the task doesn't get
+ * scheduled past a roll-over, hence its ASID is not yet realigned with
+ * tracker, such ASID is anyways safely reusable because it is
+ * gauranteed that TLB entries with that ASID wont exist.
