* powerpc/mm: Runtime allocation of mmu context maps for nohash CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the MMU context code used for CPUs with no hash table (except 603) dynamically allocate the various maps used to track the state of contexts. Only the main free map and CPU 0 stale map are allocated at boot time. Other CPU maps are allocated when those CPUs are brought up and freed if they are unplugged. This also moves the initialization of the MMU context management slightly later during the boot process, which should be fine as it's really only needed when userland if first started anyways.

* powerpc/mm: Rework context management for CPUs with no hash tableBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reworks the context management code used by 4xx,8xx and freescale BookE. It adds support for SMP by implementing a concept of stale context map to lazily flush the TLB on processors where a context may have been invalidated. This also contains the ground work for generalizing such lazy TLB flushing by just picking up a new PID and marking the old one stale. This will be implemented later. This is a first implementation that uses a global spinlock. Ideally, we should try to get at least the fast path (context ID already assigned) lockless or limited to a per context lock, but for now this will do. I tried to keep the UP case reasonably simple to avoid adding too much overhead to 8xx which does a lot of context stealing since it effectively has only 16 PIDs available.

* powerpc/mm: Split mmu_context handlingBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-12-20
This splits the mmu_context handling between 32-bit hash based processors, 64-bit hash based processors and everybody else. This is preliminary work for adding SMP support for BookE processors.
