[PATCH v4 4/5] arm64: mremap speedup - Enable HAVE_MOVE_PUD

From: Kalesh Singh
Date: Wed Oct 14 2020 - 05:20:17 EST


HAVE_MOVE_PUD enables remapping pages at the PUD level if both the
source and destination addresses are PUD-aligned.

With HAVE_MOVE_PUD enabled it can be inferred that there is approximately
a 19x improvement in performance on arm64. (See data below).

------- Test Results ---------

The following results were obtained using a 5.4 kernel, by remapping
a PUD-aligned, 1GB sized region to a PUD-aligned destination.
The results from 10 iterations of the test are given below:

Total mremap times for 1GB data on arm64. All times are in nanoseconds.

A 1GB mremap completion time drops from ~1.1 milliseconds
to ~59 microseconds on arm64. (~19x speed up).
