openrisc: update DTLB-miss handler last
The self-modifying code that updates the TLB handler at start-up has
a subtle ordering requirement: the DTLB handler must be the last thing
changed.
What I was seeing was the following:
i) The DTLB handler was updated
ii) The following printk caused a TLB miss and the look-up resulted
in the page containing itlb_vector (0xc0000a00) being bounced from
the TLB.
iii) The subsequent access to itlb_vector caused a TLB miss and reload
of the page containing itlb_vector from the page tables.
iv) But this reload of the page in iii) was being done by the "new"
DTLB-miss handler which resulted (correctly) in the page flags being
set to read-only; the subsequent write-access to itlb_vector thus
resulted in a page (access) fault.
This is easily remedied if we ensure that the boot-time DTLB-miss handler
continues running until the very last bit of self-modifying code has been
executed. This patch should ensure that the very last thing updated is the
DTLB-handler itself.
