From 00fcb14703d8322a9c66cb3f48b5c49ac7d43f0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kumar Gala Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:55:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Remove unused register usage in SW TLB miss handling Long ago we had some code that actually used the CTR in the SW TLB miss handlers (603/e300). Since we don't use it no reason to waste cycles saving it off and restoring it (we actually didn't restore it in the fast path case).
