Subject: Re: [PATCHv2] arm: Preserve TPIDRURW on context switch

Hi Russell,

Thanks for the comments - you're right about the 'switch_tls'
being more appropriate - needed to take a step back to see that.

I've got a few questions, added inline.

André, Assuming I've understood things okay, there's a patch that
uses Russell's asm stuff (with minor modifications, see the questions)
and includes the C-world changes too. Perhaps you could see that it
solves your problem?

How much older? This particular bit is v6k specific so I wasn't worrying
too much but I guess I'm missing something?

It's an academic question wrt to this patch now, though, as the version
you show below re-orders to reduce the stalls...

Indeed. You left this section untouched in your asm below - was that
because you didn't look at optimising it, or because you thought there
wasn't much better that could be done with it?

As far as I can see, we can't start doing any mcr/mrc operations until we
know for sure that the hw implements them, so this is something we're
stuck with?

Is V6 but not V6k just 1136?

Agreed. Thanks for the suggestion.

How do you feel about calling tp and trw something different? tpidro
and tpidrw, or tp and tpuser?

The naming threw me off slightly first time I read this new signature
(tp=thread_pointer/tls_pointer/etc).

Looking at the implementation above and the way you use 'base', I think
that should be 
switch_tls r1, r4, r5, r3, r7
not
switch_tls r2, r4, r5, r3, r7

That way we save tpidrurw in to the old thread pointer not the new one.

Here's a complete patch including Russell's suggested asm. Tested on
TC2, build-tested for 1136

I think we could drop the extra .c file too - though it is kinda nice
for keeping include/asm/tls.h clean...
