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.
