csky: mmu: Prevent spurious page faults
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.
