Message-ID: <1436646323-10527-1-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: David Daney This patch set (or something like it) is needed for the Cavium ThunderX, but its performance improvements may make it compelling on its own merits. Summery: On ThunerX we cannot use broadcast TLB invalidation, so we use IPIs where necessary. The funny thing is that it also happens to make workloads similar to kernel builds much faster. David Daney (3): arm64, mm: Add flush_tlb_all_local() function. arm64, mm: Use flush_tlb_all_local() in flush_context(). arm64, mm: Use IPIs for TLB invalidation. arch/arm64/include/asm/tlbflush.h | 64 ++++++++------------------------------- arch/arm64/mm/context.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/mm/flush.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
