This set of patches enable the use of scratch registers on XLR/XLS and XLP
(cop0 reg 22, sel 0-7) to optimize the genearted TLB handlers.
The current code assumes scratch is 31, which is fixed by the first patch.
The second patch enables use of a scratch register when it is available,
even on a 32-bit or non-r2 platform. The third patch is a cleanup to
consolidate all the defines needed into one file, this patch does not
have any change in logic.
In the earlier scheme, if MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT was defined, the CP0 CONTEXT
register or a scratch register would contain the current PGD, and the
XCONTEXT would contain the smp_processor_id shifted to index pointers.
In the new scheme, the behavior when MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is defined
remains the same. But when it is not defined, we tries to allocate
a scratch register for the current pgd, the smp processor id remains
in CONTEXT.
The additional change is generate tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd() function
that stores pgd even when MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not defined. This
function will save the PGD in pgd_current[] and also in the scratch
register if one has been allocated.
Comments/testing welcome.
Thanks,
JC.
