Subject: [35/75] x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:25:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <lsq.1366640759.343105344@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <lsq.1366640759.151900666@decadent.org.uk>

3.2.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>

commit 511ba86e1d386f671084b5d0e6f110bb30b8eeb2 upstream.

Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to
preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact.

Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away
arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such
environment.

[ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU
  updates" may cause a minor performance regression on
  bare metal.  This patch resolves that performance regression.  It is
  somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ]
