Message-Id: <201103011934.p21JYc6t010302@farm-0010.internal.tilera.com> Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:01:53 -0500 From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@...era.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] arch/tile: avoid a simulator warning during bootup As the added comment says, we can sometimes see a coherence warning from our simulator if the "swapper_pgprot" variable on the boot cpu has not been evicted from cache by the time the other cpus come up. Force it to be evicted so we never see the warning.
