Because the kernel can't tolerate page faults for kernel mappings, when setting a valid, kernel space pte (or pmd/pud/p4d/pgd), it emits a dsb(ishst) to ensure that the store to the pgtable is observed by the table walker immediately. Additionally it emits an isb() to ensure that any already speculatively determined invalid mapping fault gets canceled. We can improve the performance of vmalloc operations by batching these barriers until the end of a set of entry updates. arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() provide the required hooks. vmalloc improves by up to 30% as a result. Two new TIF_ flags are created; TIF_LAZY_MMU tells us if the task is in the lazy mode and can therefore defer any barriers until exit from the lazy mode. TIF_LAZY_MMU_PENDING is used to remember if any pte operation was performed while in the lazy mode that required barriers. Then when leaving lazy mode, if that flag is set, we emit the barriers. Since arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() are used for both user and kernel mappings, we need the second flag to avoid emitting barriers unnecessarily if only user mappings were updated.

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 reStructuredText 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.
