# 223719 02-Jul-2011 marius

- For Cheetah- and Zeus-class CPUs don't flush all unlocked entries from
the TLBs in order to get rid of the user mappings but instead traverse
them an flush only the latter like we also do for the Spitfire-class.
Also flushing the unlocked kernel entries can cause instant faults which
when called from within cpu_switch() are handled with the scheduler lock
held which in turn can cause timeouts on the acquisition of the lock by
other CPUs. This was easily seen with a 16-core V890 but occasionally
also happened with 2-way machines.
While at it, move the SPARC64-V support code entirely to zeus.c. This
causes a little bit of duplication but is less confusing than partially
using Cheetah-class bits for these.
- For SPARC64-V ensure that 4-Mbyte page entries are stored in the 1024-
entry, 2-way set associative TLB.
- In {d,i}tlb_get_data_sun4u() turn off the interrupts in order to ensure
that ASI_{D,I}TLB_DATA_ACCESS_REG actually are read twice back-to-back.

Tested by: Peter Jeremy (16-core US-IV), Michael Moll (2-way SPARC64-V)


# 211049 07-Aug-2010 marius

For CPUs which ignore TD_CV and support hardware unaliasing don't
bother doing page coloring. This results in a small but measurable
performance improvement in buildworld times.


# 207537 02-May-2010 marius

Add support for SPARC64 V (and where it already makes sense for other
HAL/Fujitsu) CPUs. For the most part this consists of fleshing out the
MMU and cache handling, it doesn't add pmap optimizations possible with
these CPU, yet, though.
With these changes FreeBSD runs stable on Fujitsu Siemens PRIMEPOWER 250
and likely also other models based on SPARC64 V like 450, 650 and 850.
Thanks go to Michael Moll for providing access to a PRIMEPOWER 250.


# 204152 20-Feb-2010 marius

Some machines can not only consist of CPUs running at different speeds
but also of different types, f.e. Sun Fire V890 can be equipped with a
mix of UltraSPARC IV and IV+ CPUs, requiring different MMU initialization
and different workarounds for model specific errata. Therefore move the
CPU implementation number from a global variable to the per-CPU data.
Functions which are called before the latter is available are passed the
implementation number as a parameter now.


# 182689 02-Sep-2008 marius

- USIII-based machines can consist of CPUs having different cache
sizes (and running at different frequencies) so move the cacheinfo
to the PCPU data. While at it, remove some redundant and/or unused
members from struct cacheinfo.
- In sparc64_init don't assume the first CPU node we find in the OFW
device tree is the BSP.


# 181701 13-Aug-2008 marius

cosmetic changes and style fixes


# 166105 19-Jan-2007 marius

Convert the remainder of the low hanging fruits regarding including
headers in .S directly rather than getting to their macros through
genassym.c/assym.s so there are less headers genassym.c has to be
kept in sync with.
While at it fix some stytle(9) bugs (indentation, prototype format,
sort headers, etc) and remove trailing whitespace.

# 122464 11-Nov-2003 jake

Fix a bug in the data access error recorvery. Before re-enabling the data
cache after a data access error we must discard all cache lines. When
disabled existing cache lines are not invalidated by stores to memory, so
we risk reading stale data that was cached before the data access error if
we don't flush them. This is especially fatal when the memory involved
is the active part of the kernel or user stack. For good measure we also
flush the instruction cache.

This fixes random crashes when the X server probes the PCI bus through
/dev/pci.


# 117707 17-Jul-2003 jake

Avoid exposing declarations for kernel variables to userland.

# 113238 08-Apr-2003 jake

Use vm_paddr_t for physical addresses.


# 112399 19-Mar-2003 jake

- Remove unused cache flushing routines. These will not necessary work
on future UltraSPARC cpus for which the data cache is not direct mapped.
- Move UltraSPARC I and II (spitfire, blackbird, sapphire, sabre) specific
functions to spitfire.c, and add cheetah.c for UltraSPARC III specific
functions. Initially just cache flushing, but there are a few other
functions that will need to move here.
- Add an ipi handler for data cache flushing on UltraSPARC III.
- Use function pointers to select the right cache flushing functions based
on cpu_impl.

With this it is possible to boot single user from an mfs root on UltraSPARC
III systems, including spinning up secondary processors. There is currently
no support for the host to pci bridge, and no documentation for it is
publically available.

Thanks to Oleg Derevenetz for providing access to a system with UltraSPARC
III+ cpus.


# 97001 20-May-2002 jake

Add SMP aware cache flushing functions, which operate on a single physical
page. These send IPIs if necessary in order to keep the caches in sync on
all cpus.


# 92844 20-Mar-2002 alfred

Remove __P.

profile.h and bus.h were excluded because there is currently WIP.

Use stxa_sync() when accessing the diagnostic registers to invalidate
caches; this is needed to avoid undefined behaviour.
Clean up a bit.
