Subject[PATCH v1 0/2] arm64: tlb: add support for TLBI RANGE instructions
Date
NOTICE: this series are based on the arm64 for-next/tlbi branch:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-next/tlbi

ARMv8.4-TLBI provides TLBI invalidation instruction that apply to a
range of input addresses. This series add support for this feature.

I tested this feature on a FPGA machine whose cpus support the tlbi range.
As the page num increases, the performance is improved significantly. When
page num = 256, the performance is improved by about 10 times.

Below is the test data when the stride = PTE:

[page num] [classic] [tlbi range]
1 16051 13524
2 11366 11146
3 11582 12171
4 11694 11101
5 12138 12267
6 12290 11105
7 12400 12002
8 12837 11097
9 14791 12140
10 15461 11087
16 18233 11094
32 26983 11079
64 43840 11092
128 77754 11098
256 145514 11089
512 280932 11111
