Subject: [RFC 04/13] x86/mm: If INVPCID is available, use it to flush global mappings
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2016 15:15:22 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ddac818ae831c89dc4f680bbf4bfac7b6ba2b4c.1452294700.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1452294700.git.luto@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1452294700.git.luto@kernel.org>
On my Skylake laptop, INVPCID function 2 (flush absolutely
everything) takes about 376ns, whereas saving flags, twiddling
CR4.PGE to flush global mappings, and restoring flags takes about
539ns.
