H A Dcontext.cdiff 099814bb1f9bd9081d7c85867f8eb8c049abc1b9 Tue Oct 24 18:31:19 CEST 2006 Jeremy Kerr <jeremy@au1.ibm.com> [POWERPC] spufs: Add isolated-mode SPE recycling support

When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent
storage, which is per-SPE. In order for isolated-mode apps to
communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that
isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications.

Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode
recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the
isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same
physical SPE.

This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive
access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.
