After removing uneccessary TLBIs, the next bottleneck when creating the page tables for the linear map is DSB and ISB, which were previously issued per-pte in __set_pte(). Since we are writing multiple ptes in a given pte table, we can elide these barriers and insert them once we have finished writing to the table. Execution time of map_mem(), which creates the kernel linear map page tables, was measured on different machines with different RAM configs: | Apple M2 VM | Ampere Altra| Ampere Altra| Ampere Altra | VM, 16G | VM, 64G | VM, 256G | Metal, 512G ---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|------------- | ms (%) | ms (%) | ms (%) | ms (%) ---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|------------- before | 78 (0%) | 435 (0%) | 1723 (0%) | 3779 (0%) after | 11 (-86%) | 161 (-63%) | 656 (-62%) | 1654 (-56%) Signed-off-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com> Tested-by: Itaru Kitayama <itaru.kitayama@fujitsu.com> Tested-by: Eric Chanudet <echanude@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240412131908.433043-3-ryan.roberts@arm.comSigned-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
