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.

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.
