"M" Performance Optimizations.


This article is a continuation of the M series.

The vpatch given below speeds up the execution of M by approximately 30% (as measured by the Dhrystone benchmark.) It implements separate single-entry TLB caches for reads and writes; a set of fastpath exception handlers; and several other minor optimizations.


You will need:

Add the above vpatch and seal to your V-set, and press to tlb_and_exc_speedup.kv.vpatch.

Build and test as described in the previous article. Dhrystone is included in the demo booter.
