Subject: [PATCH 0/4] KVM: arm64: Reduce overhead of full S2 teardown
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 11:48:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912104834.3093878-1-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
Tearing down a full S2 is a pretty involved process, resulting in a
lot of TLB invalidation. These TLBIs are either on a per leaf basis if
the HW doesn't support range invalidation, or by top-level range if it
does. Amusingly, the latter occurs even when nothing has been
unmapped.
Things are made worse with NV, as we have a bucket-load of shadow S2s,
and the need to invalidate them all on the back of an MMU notifier.
The latter will eventually be solved by the reverse-map tracking that
Wei-Lin is working on, but we need to be better at full-S2 teardown.
This small series adds a "no TLBI" unmapping primitive, which allows
the caller to then whack the TLBs using a VMID-wide invalidation. This
results in far fewer TLBIs, and a better recursive virtualisation as
we get far fewer traps as a consequence.
This applies on top of my shadow-s2 lifetime fixes, and is expected to
be a prefix to Wei-Lin's series.
