Alex Van Brunt 3403e56b41 arm64: mm: Don't wait for completion of TLB invalidation when page aging 
When transitioning a PTE from young to old as part of page aging, we
can avoid waiting for the TLB invalidation to complete and therefore
drop the subsequent DSB instruction. Whilst this opens up a race with
page reclaim, where a PTE in active use via a stale, young TLB entry
does not update the underlying descriptor, the worst thing that happens
is that the page is reclaimed and then immediately faulted back in.

Given that we have a DSB in our context-switch path, the window for a
spurious reclaim is fairly limited and eliding the barrier claims to
boost NVMe/SSD accesses by over 10% on some platforms.

A similar optimisation was made for x86 in commit b13b1d2d86 ("x86/mm:
In the PTE swapout page reclaim case clear the accessed bit instead of
flushing the TLB").

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
