Currently for radix, flush_tlb_range flushes the entire PID, because
the Linux mm code does not tell us about page size here for THP vs
regular pages. This is quite sub-optimal for small mremap / mprotect
/ change_protection.
So implement va range flushes with two flush passes, one for each
page size (regular and THP). The second flush has an order of matnitude
fewer tlbie instructions than the first, so it is a relatively small
additional cost.
There is still room for improvement here with some changes to generic
APIs, particularly if there are mostly THP pages to be invalidated,
the small page flushes could be reduced.
Time to mprotect 1 page of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 2.9us 1.8us
patched 1.2us 1.6us
Time to mprotect 30 pages of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 8.2us 7.2us
patched 6.9us 17.9us
Time to mprotect 34 pages of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 9.1us 8.0us
patched 9.0us 8.0us
34 pages is the point at which the invalidation switches from va
to entire PID, which tlbie can do in a single instruction. This is
why in the case of 30 pages, the new code runs slower for this test.
This is a deliberate tradeoff already present in the unmap and THP
promotion code, the idea is that the benefit from avoiding flushing
entire TLB for this PID on all threads in the system.
