[PATCH v2 1/4] CXL: Disable secondary hash in segment table

From: Ian Munsie
Date: Mon Oct 27 2014 - 23:25:57 EST


From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch simplifies the process of finding a free segment table entry
by disabling the secondary hash. This reduces the number of possible
entries in the segment table for a given address from 16 to 8.

Due to the large segment sizes we use it is extremely unlikely that the
secondary hash would ever have been used in practice, so this should not
have any negative impacts and may even improve performance due to the
reduced number of comparisons that software & hardware need to perform.

This patch clears the SC bit in the hardware's state register
(CXL_PSL_SR_An) to disable the secondary hash in the hardware since we
can no longer fill out entries using it.
