In testing the "Fix non-access data TLB cache flush faults" change, I noticed a significant improvement in glibc build and check times. This led me to investigate the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting. It determines when we switch from line flushing to whole cache flushing. It turned out that the parisc_cache_flush_threshold setting on mako and mako2 machines (PA8800 and PA8900 processors) was way too small. Adjusting this setting provided almost a factor two improvement in the glibc build and check time. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
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.
