[PATCH 2/9] powerpc/64s: SLB miss handler avoid saving faulting address into EX_DAR

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Sun May 21 23:15:43 AEST 2017


The EX_DAR save area is only used in exceptional cases. With r3 no
longer clobbered by slb_allocate_realmode, saving faulting address to
EX_DAR can be deferred to those cases.
