    MIPS: Configure FTLB after probing TLB sizes from config4 · ebd0e0f5
    Paul Burton authored
    On some cores (proAptiv, P5600) we make use of the sizes of the TLBs
    to determine the desired FTLB:VTLB write ratio. However set_ftlb_enable
    & thus calculate_ftlb_probability is called before decode_config4. This
    results in us calculating a probability based on zero sizes, and we end
    up setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio in all cases. This
    will make abysmal use of the available FTLB resources in the affected
    cores.
    
    Fix this by configuring the FTLB probability after having decoded
    config4. However we do need to have enabled the FTLB before that point
    such that fields in config4 actually reflect that an FTLB is present. So
    set_ftlb_enable is now called twice, with flags indicating that it
    should configure the write probability only the second time.
