From ef3d3246a0d06be622867d21af25f997aeeb105f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 00:28:54 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering support Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code execution. On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.
