maintainerPATCH 1/1 csky: mmu: Prevent spurious page faults
From: Guo Ren <[email protected]>
C-SKY MMU would pre-fetch invalid pte entries, and it could work with flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault, but the additional page fault exceptions would reduce performance. So flushing the entry of the TLB would prevent the following spurious page faults. Here is the test code:
define DATA_LEN 4096
define COPY_NUM (504*100)
unsigned char src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
void main(void)
{
int j;
for (j = 0; j < COPY_NUM; j++)
memcpy(&dst[j*DATA_LEN], &src[j*DATA_LEN], 4);
}perf stat -e page-faults ./main.elf
The amount of page fault traps would be reduced in half with the patch.
