ARC: [mm] optimize needless full mm TLB flush on munmap
munmap ends up calling tlb_flush() which for ARC was flushing the entire TLB unconditionally (by moving the MMU to a new ASID) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_page_range tlb_start_vma zap_pud_range tlb_end_vma() tlb_finish_mmu tlb_flush() ---> unconditional flush_tlb_mm() So even a single page munmap, a frequent operation when uClibc dynamic linker (ldso) is loading the dependent shared libraries, would move the the ASID multiple times - needlessly invalidating the pre-faulted TLB entries (and increasing the rate of ASID wraparound + full TLB flush). This is now optimised to only be called if tlb->full_mm (which means for exit/execve) cases only. And for those cases, flush_tlb_mm() is already optimised to be a no-op for mm->mm_users == 0. So essentially there are no mmore full mm flushes - except for fork which anyhow needs it for properly COW'ing parent address space. munmap now needs to do TLB range flush, which is implemented with tlb_end_vma() Results ------- 1. ASID now consistenly moves by 4 during a simple ls (as opposed to 5 or 7 before). 2.

* This pair is called at time of munmap/exit to flush cache and TLB entries
* for mappings being torn down.
* 1) cache-flush part -implemented via tlb_start_vma( ) can be NOP (for now)

- * 2) tlb-flush part - implemted via tlb_end_vma( ) can be NOP as well-
