Subject: riscv: mm: Pre-allocate PGD entries for vmalloc/modules area
X-Git-Tag: v6.6.7~2493^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d3332be011e4ed061c1403b30b5e54ebccb4fa2;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

riscv: mm: Pre-allocate PGD entries for vmalloc/modules area

The RISC-V port requires that kernel PGD entries are to be
synchronized between MMs. This is done via the vmalloc_fault()
function, that simply copies the PGD entries from init_mm to the
faulting one.

Historically, faulting in PGD entries have been a source for both bugs
[1], and poor performance.

One way to get rid of vmalloc faults is by pre-allocating the PGD
entries. Pre-allocating the entries potientially wastes 64 * 4K (65 on
SV39). The pre-allocation function is pulled from Jörg Rödel's x86
work, with the addition of 3-level page tables (PMD allocations).

The pmd_alloc() function needs the ptlock cache to be initialized
(when split page locks is enabled), so the pre-allocation is done in a
RISC-V specific pgtable_cache_init() implementation.

Pre-allocate the kernel PGD entries for the vmalloc/modules area, but
only for 64b platforms.
