Hi, Guys.
I'm now modifying several things of NetBSD/mips VM. I've just changed
a tiny code segment of TLB flush operation. The new code does
preserve all of kernel TLB entries, which map things KSEG2 space,
whenever TLBPID (ASID) generation number wraps (happens every ~60
context switchs). This reduces kernel TLB miss exception
significantly.
Other changes are now under way. I realized there is a plenty of room
for improvement. I will do CVS commit work incrementally. If I've
break something mistakenly, please scream to me.
