[PATCH 1/3] MIPS: Allow R2 CPUs to turn off generation of 'ehb' instructions.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.
