Subject: powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~450^2~9
X-Git-Url: http://ftp.safe.ca/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d504bed676caad29a3dba3d3727298c560628f5c;p=safe%2Fjmp%2Flinux-2.6

powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down

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.
