Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] accel/tcg: increase default code gen buffer size for 64 bit
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2020 19:24:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200228192415.19867-5-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200228192415.19867-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

While 32mb is certainly usable a full system boot ends up flushing the
codegen buffer nearly 100 times. Increase the default on 64 bit hosts
to take advantage of all that spare memory. After this change I can
boot my tests system without any TB flushes.

As we usually run more CONFIG_USER binaries at a time in typical usage
we aren't quite as profligate for user-mode code generation usage. We
also bring the static code gen defies to the same place to keep all
the reasoning in the comments together.
