Subject[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 107/168] MIPS: cpu-probe: Set the FTLB probability bit on supported cores
Date
3.16.7-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com>

commit cf0a8aa0226da5de88011e7f30eff22a894b2f49 upstream.

Make use of the Config6/FLTBP bit to set the probability of a TLBWR
instruction to hit the FTLB or the VTLB. A value of 0 (which may be
the default value on certain cores, such as proAptiv or P5600)
means that a TLBWR instruction will never hit the VTLB which
leads to performance limitations since it effectively decreases
the number of available TLB slots.
