[PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: PPC: e500: Shadow TLB Improvements v2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch set improves the shadow TLB handling of our e500
target.

The really important bit here is that with these patches applied,
we can map guest TLB1 entries into the host's TLB0. This gives a
significant performance improvement as you can see below.

v1 -> v2:

  - new patch: Move write_stlbe higher
  - new patch: Explicitly mark shadow maps invalid
  - new patch: Propagate errors when shadow mapping
  - remove force init logic, it's handled by the explicit invalidate now
  - leave stlbe uninitialized
  - allow mixing of TLB0 and TLB1_BITMAP backing of TLB1 pages
