[PATCH 2/2] MIPS: Don't branch to eret in TLB refill.

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

 



If the TLB refill handler is too big and needs to be split, there is
no need to branch around the split if the branch target would be an
eret.  Since the eret returns from the handler, control flow never
passes it.  A branch to an eret is equivalent to the eret itself.
