Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MIPS: Fold the TLB refill at the vmalloc path if possible.
Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 11:40:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242844859-6788-2-git-send-email-ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A144DFF.90602@caviumnetworks.com>
Try to fold the 64-bit TLB refill handler opportunistically at the
beginning of the vmalloc path so as to avoid splitting execution flow in
half and wasting cycles for a branch required at that point then. Resort
to doing the split if either of the newly created parts would not fit into
its designated slot.
