[PATCH v3 1/3] MIPS: Do not flush tlb page when updating PTE entry

From: Bibo Mao
Date: Mon May 18 2020 - 01:09:48 EST


It is not necessary to flush tlb page on all CPUs if suitable PTE
entry exists already during page fault handling, just updating
TLB is fine.

Here redefine flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault as empty on MIPS system.

Change in v2:
- split flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault and tlb update into two patches
- comments typo modification
- separate tlb update and add pte readable privilege into two patches
Change in V3:
- add detailed changelog, modify typo issue in patch V2
