Subject: [PATCH] x86, setup: add __flush_tlb() for Intel Quark X1000
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:30:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411705827-2522-2-git-send-email-boon.leong.ong@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1411705827-2522-1-git-send-email-boon.leong.ong@intel.com>
Intel Quark X1000 advertises PGE (bit 13 of EDX) in CPUID.
In reality, it does not implement PGE in current silicon.
This is an issue because __flush_tlb_all() depends on cpu_has_pge
which has following dependency:
- cpu_has_pge --> boot_cpu_data --> new_cpu_data obtained from CPUID
in head_32.S.
On another note in reference to the below commit:
x86/intel/quark: Switch off CR4.PGE so TLB flush uses CR3 instead
The value of cpu_has_pge is updated to correctly reflect the
capability for Quark later within early_init_intel() through
setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_PGE). So, future reference to
__flush_tlb_all() is mapped to __flush_tlb().
As this is early stage of kernel boot-up and adding
__flush_tlb() is not going to hurt much in CPU cycles, we add it
here and together with the explanation for future reference.
