Subject: [Patch 03/29] GRU - fix istatus race in GRU tlb dropin
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:06:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091124150748.089115000@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091124150557.082648000@sgi.com

[-- Attachment #1: uv_gru_tfh_istatus --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5107 bytes --]

From: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com>

TLB dropins require updates to the CBR instruction istatus field. This
is needed to resolve race conditions in the chip.

The code currently uses the user address of the CBR. This works but opens up
additional endcases related to stealing of contexts and accessing the
CBR from tasks that do not have access to the user address space. (Some
of this non-user task access is debug code that is not currently being pushed
to the community).

User CBRs are also directly accessible using the kernel mapping
of the CBR.  Change the TLB dropin code to use the the kernel
mapping of the CBR.
