powerpc/32: Avoid risk of unrecoverable TLBmiss inside entry_32.S By default, the 8xx pins an ITLB on the first 8M of memory in order to avoid any ITLB miss on kernel code. However, with some debug functions like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and DEBUG_RODATA, pinning TLBs is contradictory. In order to avoid any ITLB miss in a critical section without pinning TLBs, we have to ensure that there is no page boundary crossed between the setup of a new value in SRR0/SRR1 and the associated RFI. The functions modifying srr0/srr1 are all located in setup_32.S. They are spread over almost 4kbytes. The patch forces a 12 bits (4kbytes) alignment for those functions. This garanties that the functions remain in a single 4k page. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
