From 4150e50bf5f2171fbe7dfdbc7f2cdf44676b79a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:28:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Use last level TLBI for user pte changes The flush_tlb_page() function is used on user address ranges when PTEs (or PMDs/PUDs for huge pages) were changed (attributes or clearing). For such cases, it is more efficient to invalidate only the last level of the TLB with the "tlbi vale1is" instruction. In the TLB shoot-down case, the TLB caching of the intermediate page table levels (pmd, pud, pgd) is handled by __flush_tlb_pgtable() via the __(pte|pmd|pud)_free_tlb() functions and it is not deferred to tlb_finish_mmu() (as of commit 285994a62c80 - "arm64: Invalidate the TLB corresponding to intermediate page table levels"). The tlb_flush() function only needs to invalidate the TLB for the last level of page tables; the __flush_tlb_range() function gains a fourth argument for last level TLBI.
