This patch series updates the kernel support for the Microwatt
soft-core and its implementation on FPGA systems, particularly the
Digilent Arty A7-100 FPGA development board.
Microwatt now supports almost all of the features of the SFFS (Scalar
Fixed-point and Floating-point Subset) compliancy subset of Power ISA
version 3.1C, including prefixed instructions and the fixed-point hash
(ROP mitigation) instructions. It is also now SMP-capable, and a
dual-core system will fit on the Arty A7-100 board.
Microwatt does not have broadcast TLB invalidations in SMP systems;
the kernel already has code to deal with this. One of the patches in
this series provides a config option to allow platforms to select
unconditionally the behaviour where cross-CPU TLB invalidations are
handled using inter-processor interrupts.
Tested on an Arty A7-100 FPGA board with 2 CPUs. Compile-tested for
pseries and powernv.
Paul.
