We used to emit a flush_icache_all() whenever a dirty executable mapping is set in the page table but we can instead call flush_icache_mm() which will only send IPIs to cores that currently run this mm and add a deferred icache flush to the others. The number of calls to sbi_remote_fence_i() (tested without IPI support): With a simple buildroot rootfs: * Before: ~5k * After : 4 (!) Tested on HW, the boot to login is ~4.5% faster. With an ubuntu rootfs: * Before: ~24k * After : ~13k Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> Reviewed-by: Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202124711.256146-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
