From e1259cb17954e4e03954ba7376d3ed61649116cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:03:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add MIPS support [ Edit by Mathieu Desnoyers: add explanations about supported MIPS architectures, extracted from conversation with Ralf Baechle: * Supported architectures Ralf Baechle (edited by Mathieu Desnoyers): This code works on all MIPS architecture variants. The memory barrier instruction, SYNC, was introduced for MIPS II. The original MIPS I instruction set doesn't have SYNC nor SMP support in the processor architecture itself so SMP required horrible kludges in the system hardware. I think it's safe to say that Linux/MIPS will never support any of these MIPS I SMP systems. In the unlikely case this happens anyway, we have a (Linux) kernel emulation of the SYNC instruction. Voila - full binary compatibility across all MIPS processors and the oldest hardware pays the performance penalty. * Choice of barrier for cmm_mb()/cmm_rmb()/cmm_wmb() Ralf Baechle: "RMI (aka Netlogic and now Broadcom) XLR processor cores can be configured to permit LD-LD, LD-ST, ST-LD and ST-ST reordering; default is only ST-ST reordering. To allow Linux to eventually enable full reordering cmm_mb(), cmm_rmb() and cmm_wmb() all should perform SYNC and a compiler barrier." * No-op choice for cmm_read_barrier_depends(): Ralf Baechle: "Technically there is nothing in the MIPS architecture spec that would keep a MIPS implementation from reordering as freely as an Alpha or even more liberally. In practice most do strong ordering. However there is no MIPS implementation that makes full use of all the rope provided. So in theory a paranoid implementation of cmm_read_barrier_depends() for MIPS should perform a SYNC. In reality it's not necessary and no sane MIPS core designer would implement something that would design a core that need a non-empty cmm_read_barrier_depends(). The reason why my patch had an empty one is that I was using the Alpha code as a template." Mathieu Desnoyers: Moreover, the Linux kernel chooses a no-op for MIPS read_barrier_depends() implementation, so any MIPS architecture that would be as weak as Alpha would break the Linux kernel before breaking the userspace RCU library. * No need to put ".set noreorder" in cmm_mb() inline assembly: Ralf Baechle: "Certain instructions such as SYNC won't get reordered." ] Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle CC: Paul McKenney Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers --- configure.ac | 1 + urcu/arch/mips.h | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ urcu/uatomic/mips.h | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 84 insertions(+) create mode 100644 urcu/arch/mips.h create mode 100644 urcu/uatomic/mips.h diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 6935939..30fc045 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ AS_CASE([$host_cpu], [alpha*], [ARCHTYPE="alpha"], [ia64], [ARCHTYPE="gcc"], [arm*], [ARCHTYPE="arm"], + [mips*], [ARCHTYPE="mips"], [ARCHTYPE="unknown"] ) diff --git a/urcu/arch/mips.h b/urcu/arch/mips.h new file mode 100644 index 0000000..54c3c52 --- /dev/null +++ b/urcu/arch/mips.h @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +#ifndef _URCU_ARCH_MIPS_H +#define _URCU_ARCH_MIPS_H + +/* + * arch_mips.h: trivial definitions for the MIPS architecture. + * + * Copyright (c) 2010 Paolo Bonzini + * Copyright (c) 2012 Ralf Baechle + * + * This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + * modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public + * License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either + * version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + * + * This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
