Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Use H_CLEAR_HPT to clear MMU hash table during kexec
Date: Sat,  1 Oct 2016 20:41:56 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1475318516-8447-1-git-send-email-anton@ozlabs.org> (raw)

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

An hcall was recently added that does exactly what we need
during kexec - it clears the entire MMU hash table, ignoring any
VRMA mappings.

Try it and fall back to the old method if we get a failure.

On a POWER8 box with 5TB of memory, this reduces the time it takes to
kexec a new kernel from from 4 minutes to 1 minute.
