2015-09-27MIPS: Initialise MAARs on secondary CPUsPaul Burton1-0/+9
MAARs should be initialised on each CPU (or rather, core) in the system in order to achieve consistent behaviour & performance. Previously they have only been initialised on the boot CPU which leads to performance problems if tasks are later scheduled on a secondary CPU, particularly if those tasks make use of unaligned vector accesses where some CPUs don't handle any cases in hardware for non-speculative memory regions. Fix this by recording the MAAR configuration from the boot CPU and applying it to secondary CPUs as part of their bringup.

2015-08-26MIPS: Remove "weak" from platform_maar_init() declarationBjorn Helgaas1-1/+1
Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see 10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node decl")). platform_maar_init() is defined in: - arch/mips/mm/init.c (where it is marked "weak") - arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c (without annotation) The "weak" attribute on the platform_maar_init() extern declaration applies to the platform-specific definition in arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c, so both definitions are weak, and which one we get depends on link order. Remove the "weak" attribute from the declaration. That makes the malta definition strong, so it will always be preferred if it is present.

2014-08-02MIPS: Initialise MAARsPaul Burton1-0/+109
Add initialisation for Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers. Generic code cannot know the platform-specific requirements with regards to speculative accesses, so it simply calls a platform_maar_init function which platforms with MAARs are expected to implement by calling the provided write_maar_pair function & returning the number of MAAR pairs used. A weak default implementation will simply use no MAAR pairs. Any present but unused MAAR pairs are then marked invalid, effectively disabling them. The end result of this patch is that MAARs are all marked invalid, until platforms implement the platform_maar_init function.
