[PATCH 3/3] arm64, mm: Use IPIs for TLB invalidation.

From: David Daney
Date: Sat Jul 11 2015 - 16:25:40 EST


From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

Most broadcast TLB invalidations are unnecessary. So when
invalidating for a given mm/vma target the only the needed CPUs via
and IPI.

For global TLB invalidations, also use IPI.

Tested on Cavium ThunderX.

This change reduces 'time make -j48' on kernel from 139s to 116s (83%
as long).

The patch is needed because of a ThunderX Pass1 erratum: Exclusive
store operations unreliable in the presence of broadcast TLB
invalidations. The performance improvements shown make it compelling
even without the erratum workaround need.
