powerpc/8xx: Simplify pte_update() with 16k pages
While looking at code generated for code patching, I saw that pte_clear generated: 2d8: 38 a0 00 00 li r5,0 2dc: 38 e0 10 00 li r7,4096 2e0: 39 00 20 00 li r8,8192 2e4: 39 40 30 00 li r10,12288 2e8: 90 a9 00 00 stw r5,0(r9) 2ec: 90 e9 00 04 stw r7,4(r9) 2f0: 91 09 00 08 stw r8,8(r9) 2f4: 91 49 00 0c stw r10,12(r9) With 16k pages, only the first entry is used by the kernel, so no need to adapt the address of other entries. Only duplicate the first entry for hardware. Now it is: 2cc: 39 40 00 00 li r10,0 2d0: 91 49 00 00 stw r10,0(r9) 2d4: 91 49 00 04 stw r10,4(r9) 2d8: 91 49 00 08 stw r10,8(r9) 2dc: 91 49 00 0c stw r10,12(r9) Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/65f76300de07091a59a042a3db2d0ce9b939a05c.1664346532.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
