tlbies to an LPAR do not have to be serialised since POWER4/PPC970, after which the MMU_FTR_LOCKLESS_TLBIE feature was introduced to avoid tlbie locking. Since commit c17b98cf ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove code for PPC970 processors"), KVM no longer supports processors that do not have this feature, so the tlbie locking can be removed completely. A sanity check for the feature is put in kvmppc_mmu_hv_init. Testing was done on a POWER9 system in HPT mode, with a -smp 32 guest in HPT mode. 32 instances of the powerpc fork benchmark from selftests were run with --fork, and the results measured. Without this patch, total throughput was about 13.5K/sec, and this is the top of the host profile: 74.52% [k] do_tlbies 2.95% [k] kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault 1.80% [k] calc_checksum 1.80% [k] kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv 1.49% [k] kvmppc_run_core After this patch, throughput was about 51K/sec, with this profile: 21.28% [k] do_tlbies 5.26% [k] kvmppc_run_core 4.88% [k] kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault 3.30% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 3.25% [k] gup_pgd_range Signed-off-by: NNicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
