[PATCH 00/12] Avoid synchronous TLB invalidation for intermediate page-table entries on arm64

From: Will Deacon
Date: Thu Aug 30 2018 - 12:16:45 EST


Hello again,

This is v1 of the RFC I previously posted here:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2018-August/597821.html

The main changes include:

* Rewrite the comment in tlbflush.h to explain the various functions
and justify the barrier semantics

* Fix the "flush entire ASID" heuristic to work with !4K page sizes

* Fixed the build on sh (well, it fails somewhere else that isn't my fault)

* Report PxD_SHIFT instead of PxD_SIZE via tlb_get_unmap_shift()

It's also had a lot more testing, but has held up nicely so far on arm64.
I haven't figured out how to merge this yet, but I'll probably end up pulling
the core changes out onto a separate branch.

Cheers,

Will
