riscv: mm: Implement pmdp_collapse_flush for THP
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When THP is enabled, 4K pages are collapsed into a single huge
page using the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() which will further
use flush_tlb_range() to shoot-down stale TLB entries. Unfortunately,
the generic pmdp_collapse_flush() only invalidates cached leaf PTEs
using address specific SFENCEs which results in repetitive (or
unpredictable) page faults on RISC-V implementations which cache
non-leaf PTEs.

Provide a RISC-V specific pmdp_collapse_flush() which ensures both
cached leaf and non-leaf PTEs are invalidated by using non-address
specific SFENCEs as recommended by the RISC-V privileged specification.
