Loongson-3's micro TLB (ITLB) is not strictly a subset of JTLB. That means: when a JTLB entry is replaced by hardware, there may be an old valid entry exists in ITLB. So, a TLB miss exception may occur while handle_ri_rdhwr() is running because it try to access EPC's content. However, handle_ri_rdhwr() doesn't clear EXL, which makes a TLB Refill exception be treated as a TLB Invalid exception and tlbp may fail. In this case, if FTLB (which is usually set-associative instead of set- associative) is enabled, a tlbp failure will cause an invalid tlbwi, which will hang the whole system. This patch rename handle_ri_rdhwr_vivt to handle_ri_rdhwr_tlbp and use it for Loongson-3. It try to solve the same problem described as below, but more straightforwards. https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/ I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just keep it as is.
