Subject: [10/17] powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:40:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110311204110.320358526@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110311204126.GA7223@kroah.com>

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

commit d504bed676caad29a3dba3d3727298c560628f5c upstream.

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.

This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL.  For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.

This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB
machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.
