David S. Miller 4753eb2ac7 [SPARC64]: Fix incorrect TSB lock bit handling.
The TSB_LOCK_BIT define is actually a special
value shifted down by 32-bits for the assembler
code macros.

In C code, this isn't what we want.

David S. Miller bd40791e1d [SPARC64]: Dynamically grow TSB in response to RSS growth.
As the RSS grows, grow the TSB in order to reduce the likelyhood
of hash collisions and thus poor hit rates in the TSB.

This definitely needs some serious tuning.

David S. Miller 98c5584cfc [SPARC64]: Add infrastructure for dynamic TSB sizing.
This also cleans up tsb_context_switch().  The assembler
routine is now __tsb_context_switch() and the former is
an inline function that picks out the bits from the mm_struct
and passes it into the assembler code as arguments.

setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the
TSB.  Later when we support using the physical address quad
load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use
the physical address for the TSB register value and set
the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

David S. Miller 09f94287f7 [SPARC64]: TSB refinements.
Move {init_new,destroy}_context() out of line.

Do not put huge pages into the TSB, only base page size translations.
There are some clever things we could do here, but for now let's be
correct instead of fancy.

David S. Miller 74bf4312ff [SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1.
We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC
MMUs.

SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place
to store the per-cpu base pointers.  We hid them away in the TSB
base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-)

Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size.

Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only
the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the
sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all().

The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space
gets it's own private 8K TSB.  Later we can add code to dynamically
increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows.  An 8KB TSB is
good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to
incur many capacity and conflict misses.

We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB.

Another area for refinement is large page size support.  We could use
a secondary address space TSB to handle those.
