2007-05-09[ARM] armv7: add support for asid-tagged VIVT I-cacheCatalin Marinas
ARMv7 can have VIPT, PIPT or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. This patch adds the necessary invalidation of the I-cache when the ASID numbers are re-used. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-05-08[ARM] Fix ASID version switchRussell King
Close a hole in the ASID version switch, particularly the following scenario: CPU0 MM PID CPU1 MM PID idle A pid(A) A idle(lazy tlb) * new asid version triggered by B * B pid(B) A pid(A) * MM A gets new asid version * A idle(lazy tlb) A pid(A) * CPU1 doesn't see the new ASID * The result is that CPU1 continues running with the hardware set for the original (stale) ASID value, but mm->context.id contains the new ASID value. The result is that the next MM fault on CPU1 updates the page table entries, but flush_tlb_page() fails due to wrong ASID. There is a related case with a threaded application is allocated a new ASID on one CPU while another of its threads is running on some different CPU. This scenario is not fixed by this commit.

2007-02-08[ARM] 4128/1: Architecture compliant TTBR changing sequenceCatalin Marinas
On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and branch prediction is implementation defined and there is a small risk of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new context id. The recommended solution is to set a reserved ASID during TTBR changing. This patch reserves ASID 0.

2006-09-20[ARM] Move mmu.c out of the wayRussell King
Rename mmu.c to context.c - it's the ARMv6 ASID context handling code rather than generic "mmu" handling code. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
