Subject: Proposal: [PATCH] Workaround for MPC5121 DTLB errata
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:30:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200903121430.49077.david.jander@protonic.nl> (raw)
Partial workaround for DTLB errata in MPC5121e processors of die M36P and
older (all currently existing versions).
Due to the bug, the hardware-implemented LRU algorythm always goes to way 1 of
the TLB. This fix forces writes to go to way 0, which would speed up
memory-copy operations where bits 15...19 of source and destination address
are the same.
