From 4fdaa5e13105cb6702c37f8e8de7650e85cf0e1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Zhangjin Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2009 15:39:03 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Loongson-2F: Flush the branch target history such as BTB and RAS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 8235687ddfd6618f6257685f17280bf85db17595 in tip. As the Chapter 15: "Errata: Issue of Out-of-order in loongson"[1] shows, to workaround the Issue of Loongson-2F，We need to do: "When switching from user model to kernel model, you should flush the branch target history such as BTB and RAS." This patch did clear BTB(branch target buffer), forbid RAS(row address strobe) via Loongson-2F's 64bit diagnostic register.
