HAVE_MOVE_PMD enables remapping pages at the PMD level if both the source and destination addresses are PMD-aligned. HAVE_MOVE_PMD is already enabled on x86. The original patch [1] that introduced this config did not enable it on arm64 at the time because of performance issues with flushing the TLB on every PMD move. These issues have since been addressed in more recent releases with improvements to the arm64 TLB invalidation and core mmu_gather code as Will Deacon mentioned in [2]. >From the data below, it can be inferred that there is approximately 8x improvement in performance when HAVE_MOVE_PMD is enabled on arm64. --------- Test Results ---------- The following results were obtained on an arm64 device running a 5.4 kernel, by remapping a PMD-aligned, 1GB sized region to a PMD-aligned destination. The results from 10 iterations of the test are given below. All times are in nanoseconds. Control HAVE_MOVE_PMD 9220833 1247761 9002552 |
