Currently x86 uses CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE when using paravirt, and not when running on bare metal. There is no real good reason to do things differently for each setup. Make them all the same. Currently get_user_pages_fast synchronizes against page table freeing in two different ways: - on bare metal, by blocking IRQs, which block TLB flush IPIs - on paravirt, with MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE This is done because some paravirt TLB flush implementations handle the TLB flush in the hypervisor, and will do the flush even when the target CPU has interrupts disabled. Always handle page table freeing with MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Using RCU synchronization between page table freeing and get_user_pages_fast() allows bare metal to also do TLB flushing while interrupts are disabled. Various places in the mm do still block IRQs or disable preemption as an implicit way to block RCU frees. That makes it safe to use INVLPGB on AMD CPUs.

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.
