From abe3265a6d2e5e805361e0fea3346622f3199d68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2013 16:09:41 -0400 Subject: tile: do less L1 I-cache eviction We had been doing an automatic full eviction of the L1 I$ everywhere whenever we did a kernel-space TLB flush. It turns out this isn't necessary, since all the callers already handle doing a flush if necessary.
