When process exits or execute new binary, it will call function
exit_mmap with old mm, there is such function call trace:
exit_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm)
--> tlb_finish_mmu(&tlb, 0, -1)
--> arch_tlb_finish_mmu(tlb, start, end, force)
--> tlb_flush_mmu(tlb);
--> tlb_flush(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
--> flush_tlb_mm(tlb->mm)
It is not necessary to flush tlb since oldmm is not used anymore
by the process, there is similar operations on IA64/ARM64 etc,
this patch adds such optimization on MIPS.

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.
