arm64: mm: Batch dsb and isb when populating pgtables
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.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
