/* * The maximum ASN's the processor supports. On the EV4 this is 63 * but the PAL-code doesn't actually use this information. On the * EV5 this is 127, and EV6 has 255. * * On the EV4, the ASNs are more-or-less useless anyway, as they are * only used as an icache tag, not for TB entries. On the EV5 and EV6, * ASN's also validate the TB entries, and thus make a lot more sense. * * The EV4 ASN's don't even match the architecture manual, ugh. And * I quote: "If a processor implements address space numbers (ASNs), * and the old PTE has the Address Space Match (ASM) bit clear (ASNs * in use) and the Valid bit set, then entries can also effectively be * made coherent by assigning a new, unused ASN to the currently * running process and not reusing the previous ASN before calling the * appropriate PALcode routine to invalidate the translation buffer (TB)". * * In short, the EV4 has a "kind of" ASN capability, but it doesn't actually * work correctly and can thus not be used (explaining the lack of PAL-code * support).

/* * NOTE! The way this is set up, the high bits of the "asn_cache" (and * the "mm->context") are the ASN _version_ code.

That will automatically * force a new asn for any other processes the next time they want to * run.
