Right you are. Thanks for pointing out the somewhat sparse Changelog;
typically I end up kicking myself a few years down the line.
I think I will in fact change the implementation a little and provide a
symbol/Kconfig to switch the default implementation between
flush_tlb_vma() and flush_tlb_mm().
That avoids some of the repetition. But see here a preview of the new
Changelog, does that clarify things enough?

Subject: arch/tlb: Clean up simple architectures
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Sep 4 17:04:07 CEST 2018
The generic mmu_gather implementation is geared towards range tracking
and provided the architecture provides a fairly efficient
flush_tlb_range() implementation (or provides a custom tlb_flush()
implementation) things will work well.
The one case this doesn't cover well is where there is no (efficient)
range invalidate at all. In this case we can select
MMU_GATHER_NO_RANGE.
So this reduces to two cases:
1) either the platform has an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
asm-generic/tlb.h doesn't need any overrides at all.
2) or an architecture lacks an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
we need to select MMU_GATHER_NO_RANGE.
Convert all 'simple' architectures to one of these two forms.
alpha: has no range invalidate -> 2
arc: already used flush_tlb_range() -> 1
c6x: has no range invalidate -> 2
hexagon: has an efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(flush_tlb_mm() is in fact a full range invalidate,
so no need to shoot down everything)
m68k: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
microblaze: has no flush_tlb_range() -> 2
mips: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(even though it currently seems to use flush_tlb_mm())
nds32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
nios2: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
openrisc: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
parisc: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
sparc32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
unicore32: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
xtensa: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
Note this also fixes a bug in the existing code for a number
platforms. Those platforms that did:
tlb_end_vma() -> if (!fullmm) flush_tlb_*()
tlb_flush -> if (full_mm) flush_tlb_mm()
missed the case of shift_arg_pages(), which doesn't have @fullmm set,
nor calls into tlb_*vma(), but still frees page-tables and thus needs
an invalidate. The new code handles this by detecting a non-empty
range, and either issuing the matching range invalidate or a full
invalidate, depending on the capabilities.
