Change 221534 by rwatson@rwatson_zenith_cl_cam_ac_uk on 2013/01/27 16:05:30
FreeBSD/mips stores page-table entries in a near-identical format
to MIPS TLB entries -- only it overrides certain "reserved" bits
in the MIPS-defined EntryLo register to hold software-defined bits
(swbits) to avoid significantly increasing the page table memory
footprint. On n32 and n64, these bits were (a) colliding with
MIPS64r2 physical memory extensions and (b) being improperly
cleared.
Attempt to fix both of these problems by pushing swbits further
along 64-bit EntryLo registers into the reserved space, and
improving consistency between C-based and assembly-based clearing
of swbits -- in particular, to use the same definition. This
should stop swbits from leaking into TLB entries -- while ignored
by most current MIPS hardware, this would cause a problem with
(much) larger physical memory sizes, and also leads to confusing
hardware-level tracing as physical addresses contain unexpected
(and inconsistent) higher bits.
