[PATCH v2 0/3] TLB flush counters

[PATCH v2 0/3] TLB flush counters

[Atish Patra]

The RISC-V patch (2/3) is based on Gary's TLB flush patch series

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/list/?series=97315

The x86 kconfig fix patch(1/3) can be applied separately.

Changes from v1->v2:
1. Move the arch specific config option to a common one as it touches
   generic code.
2. Introduced another config that architectures can select to enable
   tlbflush option.

Atish Patra (3):
x86: Move DEBUG_TLBFLUSH option.
RISC-V: Enable TLBFLUSH counters for debug kernel.
RISC-V: Update tlb flush counters

[PATCH v2 1/3] x86: Move DEBUG_TLBFLUSH option.

[Atish Patra]

CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH was added in 'commit 3df3212f9722 ("x86/tlb: add
tlb_flushall_shift knob into debugfs")' to support tlb_flushall_shift
knob. The knob was removed in 'commit e9f4e0a9fe27 ("x86/mm: Rip out
complicated, out-of-date, buggy TLB flushing")'.  However, the debug
option was never removed from Kconfig. It was reused in commit
'9824cf9753ec ("mm: vmstats: tlb flush counters")' but the commit text
was never updated accordingly.

Update the Kconfig option description as per its current usage.

Take this opprtunity to make this kconfig option a common option as it
touches the common vmstat code. Introduce another arch specific config
HAVE_ARCH_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH that can be selected to enable this config.

Please, when you mention several commits, put them into new lines to make 
it readable, i.e.:

  3df3212f9722 ("x86/tlb: add tlb_flushall_shift knob into debugfs")

etc.

"opprtunity"?

"statstics"??

Please put a spell checker into your workflow or read what you are 
writing ...

Apologies for the typos. Fixed them.

[PATCH v2 2/3] RISC-V: Enable TLBFLUSH counters for debug kernel.

[Atish Patra]

The TLB flush counters under vmstat seems to be very helpful while
debugging TLB flush performance in RISC-V.

Add the Kconfig option only for debug kernels.
