[v4,00/12] riscv: ASID-related and UP-related TLB flush enhancements

Message

Samuel Holland Jan. 2, 2024, 10 p.m. UTC

While reviewing Alexandre Ghiti's "riscv: tlb flush improvements"
series[1], I noticed that most TLB flush functions end up as a call to
local_flush_tlb_all() when SMP is disabled. This series resolves that,
and also optimizes the scenario where SMP is enabled but only one CPU is
present or online. Along the way, I realized that we should be using
single-ASID flushes wherever possible, so I implemented that as well.

Here are some numbers from D1 (with SMP disabled) which show the
performance impact:

Changes in v4:
 - Fix a possible race between flush_icache_*() and SMP bringup
 - Refactor riscv_use_ipi_for_rfence() to make later changes cleaner
 - Optimize kernel TLB flushes with only one CPU online
 - Optimize global cache/TLB flushes with only one CPU online
 - Merge the two copies of __flush_tlb_range() and rely on the compiler
   to optimize out the broadcast path (both clang and gcc do this)
 - Merge the two copies of flush_tlb_all() and rely on constant folding
 - Only set tlb_flush_all_threshold when CONFIG_MMU=y.

Changes in v3:
 - Fixed a performance regression caused by executing sfence.vma in a
   loop on implementations affected by SiFive CIP-1200
 - Rebased on v6.7-rc1

Changes in v2:
 - Move the SMP/UP merge earlier in the series to avoid build issues
 - Make a copy of __flush_tlb_range() instead of adding ifdefs inside
 - local_flush_tlb_all() is the only function used on !MMU (smpboot.c)
