* [SPARC64]: store-init needs trailing membar.David S. Miller2007-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual says that it is required and we actually have crash reports where loads see stale data due to not having membars here. In one case the networking does: memset(skb, 0, offsetof(struct sk_buff, truesize)); and then some code later checks skb->nohdr for zero, but it's still the value that was there before the memset(). Note that arch/sparc64/lib/xor.S already got this right. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Optimized TSB table initialization.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes, so taking advantage of this can save many instructions compared to the simple memset() call we make now. A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara. The next trick is to be able to perform an init and a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
