Nicholas Piggin 0b2f5a8a79 powerpc/64s/radix: Improve TLB flushing for page table freeing
Unmaps that free page tables always flush the entire PID, which is
sub-optimal. Provide TLB range flushing with an additional PWC flush
that can be use for va range invalidations with PWC flush.

     Time to munmap N pages of memory including last level page table
     teardown (after mmap, touch), local invalidate:
     N           1       2      4      8     16     32     64
     vanilla  3.2us  3.3us  3.4us  3.6us  4.1us  5.2us  7.2us
     patched  1.4us  1.5us  1.7us  1.9us  2.6us  3.7us  6.2us

     Global invalidate:
     N           1       2      4      8     16      32     64
     vanilla  2.2us  2.3us  2.4us  2.6us  3.2us   4.1us  6.2us
     patched  2.1us  2.5us  3.4us  5.2us  8.7us  15.7us  6.2us

Local invalidates get much better across the board. Global ones have
the same issue where multiple tlbies for va flush do get slower than
the single tlbie to invalidate the PID. None of this test captures
the TLB benefits of avoiding killing everything.

Global gets worse, but it is brought in to line with global invalidate
for munmap()s that do not free page tables.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
