Hi, This patchset adds support for unique RI/XI exceptions. This feature has been added in MIPSr5. Using this feature, we reduce the time it takes to deal with a TLB exception caused by the RI/XI bits since the TLB load handler is skipped and we use the tlb_do_page_failt_0 path directly. This patch depends on the Hardware Page Table Walker (HTW) patchset http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2014-07/msg00195.html Leonid Yegoshin (3): MIPS: Add new option for unique RI/XI exceptions MIPS: Use dedicated exception handler if CPU supports RI/XI exceptions MIPS: kernel: cpu-probe: Detect unique RI/XI exceptions arch/mips/include/asm/cpu-features.h | 3 +++ arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h | 1 + arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h | 1 + arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c | 9 +++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/traps.c | 7 +++++++ arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c | 4 ++-- 6 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.0.0
