Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Take in account load hazards for HI/LO restoring
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2023 19:20:27 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231012162027.3411684-1-lis8215@gmail.com> (raw)
MIPS CPUs usually have 1 to 4 cycles load hazards, thus doing load
and right after move to HI/LO will usually stall the pipeline for
significant amount of time. Let's take it into account and separate
loads and mthi/lo in instruction sequence.
The patch uses t6 and t7 registers as temporaries in addition to t8.
The patch tries to deal with SmartMIPS, but I know little about and
haven't tested it.
