MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsemem 2009-12-01T16:21:26+00:00 Wu Zhangjin wuzhangjin@gmail.com 2009-12-01T06:55:42+00:00 f133f22dd6f413bdf71ebf7e00ce441d98ac7c87 With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba. The config help of sparsemem says: "This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity."

MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pages 2009-12-01T16:21:26+00:00 Wu Zhangjin wuzhangjin@gmail.com 2009-12-01T06:55:25+00:00 315fe625f878749a7d2b6b65a40c29bbbe6e1dc7 Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! The possible reason is the cache aliases problem: Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem. To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing. The 2nd possible solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for extra cache flushes. So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is solved.
