ARM: Optimize multi-CPU tlb flushing a little more
The compiler does not conditionalize the assembly instructions for
the tlb operations, which leads to sub-optimal code being generated
when building a kernel for multiple CPUs.
We can tweak things fairly simply as the code fragment below shows:
17f8: e3120001 tst r2, #1 ; 0x1
...
1800: 0a000000 beq 1808 <handle_pte_fault+0x194>
1804: ee061f10 mcr 15, 0, r1, cr6, cr0, {0}
1808: e3120004 tst r2, #4 ; 0x4
180c: 0a000000 beq 1814 <handle_pte_fault+0x1a0>
1810: ee081f36 mcr 15, 0, r1, cr8, cr6, {1}
becomes:
17f0: e3120001 tst r2, #1 ; 0x1
17f4: 1e063f10 mcrne 15, 0, r3, cr6, cr0, {0}
17f8: e3120004 tst r2, #4 ; 0x4
17fc: 1e083f36 mcrne 15, 0, r3, cr8, cr6, {1}
Overall, for Realview with V6 and V7 CPUs configured:
