H A D | genex.S | 5a341331 Thu Mar 16 08:00:26 CDT 2017 Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3
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.

I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just keep it as is.
