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. https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/ I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just keep it as is.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
