[PATCH v6 1/4] MIPS: Do not flush tlb page when updating PTE entry
From: Bibo Mao
Date: Sun May 24 2020 - 22:53:34 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.
V6:
- Add update_mmu_tlb function as empty on all platform except mips
system, we use this function to update local tlb for page fault
smp-race handling
V5:
- define update_mmu_cache function specified on MIPS platform, and
add page fault smp-race stats info
V4:
- add pte_sw_mkyoung function to implement readable privilege, and
this function is only in effect on MIPS system.
- add page valid bit judgement in function pte_modify
V3:
- add detailed changelog, modify typo issue in patch V2
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
