Subject: [ 09/11] x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:17:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130415020614.774067165@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130415020614.067692418@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>
commit 511ba86e1d386f671084b5d0e6f110bb30b8eeb2 upstream.
Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.
Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.
[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is
somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]
