Thanks Dan There is another small optimization that can be done in the TLB Miss/Error handlers. Move branch instructions 1 instruction away from the test. That will give branch prediction a chance to do its job. I did a run with LM bench and it did a difference (barley). The down side is that the code gets harder to read. I found 5 branch instructions that could be moved: DTLB Error, 3 branches can be moved. DTLB Miss, 1 branch can be moved. ITLB Miss, 1 branch can be moved. What do you think? Want a patch?
