Message-ID: <20150204144908.361E71A5F24@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
This patchset provides a further optimisation of TLB handling in the 8xx.
Changes are:
- Not saving registers like CR when not needed
- Adding support to any TASK_SIZE
Patchset:
01 - powerpc/8xx: macro for handling CPU15 errata
02 - powerpc/8xx: Handle CR out of exception PROLOG/EPILOG
03 - powerpc/8xx: dont save CR in SCRATCH registers
04 - powerpc/8xx: Use SPRG2 instead of DAR for saving r3
05 - powerpc/8xx: Add support for TASK_SIZE greater than 0x80000000
All changes have been successfully tested on MPC885
