From 68fa519a6cb455005317bd61f95214b58b2f1e69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Philippe=20Mathieu-Daud=C3=A9?= Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2020 15:20:37 +0200 Subject: target/mips: Increase number of TLB entries on the 34Kf core (16 -> 64) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Per "MIPS32 34K Processor Core Family Software User's Manual, Revision 01.13" page 8 in "Joint TLB (JTLB)" section: "The JTLB is a fully associative TLB cache containing 16, 32, or 64-dual-entries mapping up to 128 virtual pages to their corresponding physical addresses." There is no particular reason to restrict the 34Kf core model to 16 TLB entries, so raise its config to 64. This is helpful for other projects, in particular the Yocto Project: Yocto Project uses qemu-system-mips 34Kf cpu model, to run 32bit MIPS CI loop. It was observed that in this case CI test execution time was almost twice longer than 64bit MIPS variant that runs under MIPS64R2-generic model. It was investigated and concluded that the difference in number of TLBs 16 in 34Kf case vs 64 in MIPS64R2-generic is responsible for most of CI real time execution difference. Because with 16 TLBs linux user-land trashes TLB more and it needs to execute more instructions in TLB refill handler calls, as result it runs much longer.
