The current locking mechanism uses a ll/sc sequence to release a spinlock. This is slower than a wmb() followed by a store to unlock. The branching forward to .subsection 2 on sc failure slows down the contended case. So we get rid of that part too. Since we are now working on naturally aligned u16 values, we can get rid of a masking operation as the LHU already does the right thing. The ANDI are reversed for better scheduling on multi-issue CPUs On a 12 CPU 750MHz Octeon cn5750 this patch improves ipv4 UDP packet forwarding rates from 3.58*10^6 PPS to 3.99*10^6 PPS, or about 11%.

Change to different macros for assembler macros since the old names in powertv_setup.c were co-opted for use in asm/asm.h. This broken the build for the powertv platform. This patch introduces new macros based on the new macros in asm.h to take the place of the old macro values.

If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs, sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their time blocked waiting for the cleanup. Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.

When directly accessing a phy, we must acquire the mdio bus lock. To do that we cannot be in interrupt context, so we need to move these operations to a workqueue.

The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit (XI) bits in the page tables work. The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1} are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register. SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems. Cavium Octeon+ extends this to 64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide. Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of the PTE is changed. There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position. Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI caused the exception. Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and runtime rather than statically. In the 32-bit case this allows for the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and _PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE). The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.
