MIPS: Build uasm-generated code only once to avoid CPU Hotplug problem
This and the next patch resolve memory corruption problems while CPU hotplug. Without these patches, memory corruption can triggered easily as below: On a quad-core MIPS platform, use "spawn" of UnixBench-5.1.3 (http:// code.google.com/p/byte-unixbench/) and a CPU hotplug script like this (hotplug.sh): while true; do echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online sleep 1 echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online sleep 1 done Run "hotplug.sh" and then run "spawn 10000", spawn will get segfault after a few minutes. This patch: Currently, clear_page()/copy_page() are generated by Micro-assembler dynamically. But they are unavailable until uasm_resolve_relocs() has finished because jump labels are illegal before that. Since these functions are shared by every CPU, we only call build_clear_page()/ build_copy_page() only once at boot time. Without this patch, programs will get random memory corruption (segmentation fault, bus error, etc.) while CPU Hotplug (e.g. one CPU is using clear_page() while another is generating it in cpu_cache_init()). For similar reasons we modify build_tlb_refill_handler()'s invocation. V2: 1, Rework the code to make CPU#0 can be online/offline. 2, Introduce cpu_has_local_ebase feature since some types of MIPS CPU need a per-CPU tlb_refill_handler().
