Subject: [PATCH v6 00/13] riscv: ASID-related and UP-related TLB flush enhancements
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 21:49:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240327045035.368512-1-samuel.holland@sifive.com> (raw)

This series converts uniprocessor kernel builds to use the same TLB
flushing code as SMP builds, to take advantage of batching and existing
range- and ASID-based TLB flush optimizations. It optimizes out IPIs and
SBI calls based on the online CPU count, which also covers the scenario
where SMP was enabled at build time but only one CPU is present/online.
A final optimization is to use single-ASID flushes wherever possible, to
avoid unnecessary TLB misses for kernel mappings.

This series has a semantic conflict with the AIA patches that are in
linux-next due to the removal of the third parameter of
riscv_ipi_set_virq_range(), which is called from imsic_ipi_domain_init()
in drivers/irqchip/irq-riscv-imsic-early.c. The resolution is to remove
the extra argument from the call site.

Here are some numbers from D1 which show the performance impact:

Changes in v6:
 - Move riscv_tlb_remove_ptdesc() definition to fix 32-bit build
 - Clarify the commit message for patch 3 based on ML discussion
 - Clarify the commit message for patch 8 based on ML discussion
 - Rebased on v6.9-rc1

Changes in v5:
 - Rebase on v6.8-rc1 + riscv/for-next (for the fast GUP implementation)
 - Add patch for minor refactoring in asm/pgalloc.h
 - Also switch to riscv_use_sbi_for_rfence() in asm/pgalloc.h
 - Leave use_asid_allocator declared in asm/mmu_context.h

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)
