hi,galak:
I have two question about e500 part of linux kernel. I
can not get reponse from maillist . So I sent the questions to you
directly.
1. in arch/ppc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S
603 FIND_PTE
604 andi. r13, r11, _PAGE_PRESENT /* Is the page present? */
605 beq 2f /* Bail if not present */
That seems _PAGE_PRESENT should be set before enter DataTLBError
exception handler(Or the following finish_tlb_load function will not
execute), but in __ioremap function of e500 implementation,
_PAGE_PRESENT bit is not set for an io address map.Why?
2. still in arch/ppc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S
791 #ifdef CONFIG_E200
792 /* Round robin TLB1 entries assignment */
793 mfspr r12, SPRN_MAS0
794
795 /* Extract TLB1CFG(NENTRY) */
796 mfspr r11, SPRN_TLB1CFG
797 andi. r11, r11, 0xfff
798
799 /* Extract MAS0(NV) */
800 andi. r13, r12, 0xfff
801 addi r13, r13, 1
802 cmpw 0, r13, r11
803 addi r12, r12, 1
804
805 /* check if we need to wrap */
806 blt 7f
807
808 /* wrap back to first free tlbcam entry */
809 lis r13, tlbcam_index at ha
810 lwz r13, tlbcam_index at l(r13)
811 rlwimi r12, r13, 0, 20, 31
812 7:
813 mtspr SPRN_MAS0,r12
814 #endif /* CONFIG_E200 */
815
816 tlbwe
That seems original tlb entry will be overwritten in the above code
for e500? Why , I thought a free tlb entry should be select and fill
for e500. Just like CONFIG_E200.
