From 0a2a18b721abc960fbcada406746877d22340a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 23:37:16 +0100 Subject: x86: change the default cache size to 64 bytes Right now the generic cacheline size is 128 bytes - that is wasteful when structures are aligned, as all modern x86 CPUs have an (effective) cacheline sizes of 64 bytes. It was set to 128 bytes due to some cacheline aliasing problems on older P4 systems, but those are many years old and we dont optimize for them anymore. (They'll still get the 128 bytes cacheline size if the kernel is specifically built for Pentium 4) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven --- arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu') diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu b/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu index 8078955845a..cdf4a962323 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu +++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu @@ -307,10 +307,10 @@ config X86_CMPXCHG config X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT int - default "7" if MPENTIUM4 || X86_GENERIC || GENERIC_CPU || MPSC + default "7" if MPENTIUM4 || MPSC default "4" if X86_ELAN || M486 || M386 || MGEODEGX1 default "5" if MWINCHIP3D || MWINCHIPC6 || MCRUSOE || MEFFICEON || MCYRIXIII || MK6 || MPENTIUMIII || MPENTIUMII || M686 || M586MMX || M586TSC || M586 || MVIAC3_2 || MGEODE_LX - default "6" if MK7 || MK8 || MPENTIUMM || MCORE2 || MVIAC7 + default "6" if MK7 || MK8 || MPENTIUMM || MCORE2 || MVIAC7 || X86_GENERIC || GENERIC_CPU config X86_XADD def_bool y -- cgit v1.2.2 From ace6c6c840878342f698f0da6588dd5ded755369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:32:44 +0100 Subject: x86: make x86_32 use tlb_64.c, build fix, clean up X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fix: arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:47: error: ‘CONFIG_X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES’ undeclared here (not in a function) The CONFIG_X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES symbol is only defined on 64-bit, because vsmp support is 64-bit only.
