[PATCH 2/2] MIPS: Fold the TLB refill at the vmalloc path if possible.

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

 



Try to fold the 64-bit TLB refill handler opportunistically at the
beginning of the vmalloc path so as to avoid splitting execution flow in
half and wasting cycles for a branch required at that point then.  Resort
to doing the split if either of the newly created parts would not fit into
its designated slot.
