From cf01d1a17c2a5269f6b65c338f534cacb236e2c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Wood Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 23:04:55 -0500 Subject: powerpc/e6500: hw tablewalk: clear TID in kernel indirect entries Previously TID was being cleared before the tlbsx, but not after. This can lead to a multiway hit between a TLB entry with TID=0 (previously inserted when PID=0) and a TLB entry with TID!=0 that matches PID. This can theoretically result in undefined behavior, though we probably get lucky due to the details of the overlap. It also results in the inability to use multihit detection to detect other conflicting TLB entries, as well as poorer TLB utilization due to duplicating kernel TLB entries. Rather than try to patch up MAS1 after tlbsx, the entire value is saved/restored as with MAS2. I observed a slight improvement in TLB miss performance with this patch applied.
