From d4599baf5c773660f32ee6bc35c1afab009a52d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2013 14:45:51 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ARC: cacheflush optim - PTAG can be loop invariant if V-P is const Line op needs vaddr (indexing) and paddr (tag match). For page sized flushes (V-P const), each line op will need a different index, but the tag bits wil remain constant, hence paddr can be setup once outside the loop. This improves select LMBench numbers for Aliasing dcache where we have more "preventive" cache flushing.
