arm64: tlb: Optimize ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI

2026-02-25T21:37:44+00:00

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is used to mitigate several errata where broadcast TLBI;DSB sequences don't provide all the architecturally required synchronization. The workaround performs more work than necessary, and can have significant overhead. This patch optimizes the workaround, as explained below. The workaround was originally added for Qualcomm Falkor erratum 1009 in commit: d9ff80f83ecb ("arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009") As noted in the message for that commit, the workaround is applied even in cases where it is not strictly necessary. The workaround was later reused without changes for: * Arm Cortex-A76 erratum #1286807 SDEN v33: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/33-0/ * Arm Cortex-A55 erratum #2441007 SDEN v16: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-859338/1600/ * Arm Cortex-A510 erratum #2441009 SDEN v19: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1873351/1900/ The important details to note are as follows: 1. All relevant errata only affect the ordering and/or completion of memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB entry. The actual invalidation of TLB entries is unaffected. 2. The existing workaround is applied to both broadcast and local TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for broadcast invalidation. 3. The existing workaround replaces every TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to execute a single additional TLBI;DSB sequence after any number of TLBIs are completed by a DSB. For example, for a sequence of batched TLBIs: TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional TLBI [, ] DSB ISH // additional TLBI [, ] // additional DSB ISH ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] TLBI [, ] DSB ISH TLBI [, ] // additional DSB ISH // additional Using a single additional TBLI and DSB at the end of the sequence can have significantly lower overhead as each DSB which completes a TLBI must synchronize with other PEs in the system, with potential performance effects both locally and system-wide. 4. The existing workaround repeats each specific TLBI operation, whereas for all relevant errata it is sufficient for the additional TLBI to use *any* operation which will be broadcast, regardless of which translation regime or stage of translation the operation applies to. For example, for a single TLBI: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI ALLE2IS // additional DSB ISH // additional ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI VALE1IS, XZR // additional DSB ISH // additional As the additional TLBI doesn't have to match a specific earlier TLBI, the additional TLBI can be implemented in separate code, with no memory of the earlier TLBIs. The additional TLBI can also use a cheaper TLBI operation. 5. The existing workaround is applied to both Stage-1 and Stage-2 TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for Stage-1 invalidation. Architecturally, TLBI operations which invalidate only Stage-2 information (e.g. IPAS2E1IS) are not required to invalidate TLB entries which combine information from Stage-1 and Stage-2 translation table entries, and consequently may not complete memory accesses translated by those combined entries. In these cases, completion of memory accesses is only guaranteed after subsequent invalidation of Stage-1 information (e.g. VMALLE1IS). Taking the above points into account, this patch reworks the workaround logic to reduce overhead: * New __tlbi_sync_s1ish() and __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() functions are added and used in place of any dsb(ish) which is used to complete broadcast Stage-1 TLB maintenance. When the ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is enabled, these helpers will execute an additional TLBI;DSB sequence. For consistency, it might make sense to add __tlbi_sync_*() helpers for local and stage 2 maintenance. For now I've left those with open-coded dsb() to keep the diff small. * The duplication of TLBIs in __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() is removed. This is no longer needed as the necessary synchronization will happen in __tlbi_sync_s1ish() or __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp(). * The additional TLBI operation is chosen to have minimal impact: - __tlbi_sync_s1ish() uses "TLBI VALE1IS, XZR". This is only used at EL1 or at EL2 with {E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, where it will target an unused entry for the reserved ASID in the kernel's own translation regime, and have no adverse affect. - __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() uses "TLBI VALE2IS, XZR". This is only used in hyp code, where it will target an unused entry in the hyp code's TTBR0 mapping, and should have no adverse effect. * As __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() no longer replace each TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, batching TLBIs is worthwhile, and there's no need for arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() to consider ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI.

arm64: tlb: Allow XZR argument to TLBI ops

2026-02-25T21:37:44+00:00

The TLBI instruction accepts XZR as a register argument, and for TLBI operations with a register argument, there is no functional difference between using XZR or another GPR which contains zeroes. Operations without a register argument are encoded as if XZR were used. Allow the __TLBI_1() macro to use XZR when a register argument is all zeroes. Today this only results in a trivial code saving in __do_compat_cache_op()'s workaround for Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419. In subsequent patches this pattern will be used more generally. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

arm64, tlbflush: don't TLBI broadcast if page reused in write fault

2025-11-19T16:01:48+00:00

A multi-thread customer workload with large memory footprint uses fork()/exec() to run some external programs every tens seconds. When running the workload on an arm64 server machine, it's observed that quite some CPU cycles are spent in the TLB flushing functions. While running the workload on the x86_64 server machine, it's not. This causes the performance on arm64 to be much worse than that on x86_64. During the workload running, after fork()/exec() write-protects all pages in the parent process, memory writing in the parent process will cause a write protection fault. Then the page fault handler will make the PTE/PDE writable if the page can be reused, which is almost always true in the workload. On arm64, to avoid the write protection fault on other CPUs, the page fault handler flushes the TLB globally with TLBI broadcast after changing the PTE/PDE. However, this isn't always necessary. Firstly, it's safe to leave some stale read-only TLB entries as long as they will be flushed finally. Secondly, it's quite possible that the original read-only PTE/PDEs aren't cached in remote TLB at all if the memory footprint is large. In fact, on x86_64, the page fault handler doesn't flush the remote TLB in this situation, which benefits the performance a lot. To improve the performance on arm64, make the write protection fault handler flush the TLB locally instead of globally via TLBI broadcast after making the PTE/PDE writable. If there are stale read-only TLB entries in the remote CPUs, the page fault handler on these CPUs will regard the page fault as spurious and flush the stale TLB entries. To test the patchset, make the usemem.c from vm-scalability (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git). support calling fork()/exec() periodically. To mimic the behavior of the customer workload, run usemem with 4 threads, access 100GB memory, and call fork()/exec() every 40 seconds. Test results show that with the patchset the score of usemem improves ~40.6%. The cycles% of TLB flush functions reduces from ~50.5% to ~0.3% in perf profile.

arm64/mm: Elide TLB flush in certain pte protection transitions

2025-11-13T17:50:25+00:00

Currently arm64 does an unconditional TLB flush in mprotect(). This is not required for some cases, for example, when changing from PROT_NONE to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE (a real usecase - glibc malloc does this to emulate growing into the non-main heaps), and unsetting uffd-wp in a range. Therefore, implement pte_needs_flush() for arm64, which is already implemented by some other arches as well. Running a userspace program changing permissions back and forth between PROT_NONE and PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, and measuring the average time taken for the none->rw transition, I get a reduction from 3.2 microseconds to 2.85 microseconds, giving a 12.3% improvement.

arm64: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-11-11T19:35:59+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is a mostly mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), except for the following files where comments with mis-spelled macros were tweaked manually: arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace/frame.h arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_ptrauth.h arch/arm64/include/asm/debug-monitors.h arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h arch/arm64/include/asm/scs.h arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

mm: remove arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() arch helper

2025-07-25T02:12:32+00:00

Since commit 4b634918384c ("arm64/mm: Close theoretical race where stale TLB entry remains valid"), all arches that use tlbbatch for reclaim (arm64, riscv, x86) implement arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() with a flush_tlb_mm(). So let's simplify by removing the unnecessary abstraction and doing the flush_tlb_mm() directly in flush_tlb_batched_pending(). This effectively reverts commit db6c1f6f236d ("mm/tlbbatch: introduce arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending()").

arm64/mm: Close theoretical race where stale TLB entry remains valid

2025-06-02T12:02:14+00:00

Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries") describes a race that, prior to the commit, could occur between reclaim and operations such as mprotect() when using reclaim's tlbbatch mechanism. See that commit for details but the summary is: """ Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() """ The solution was to insert flush_tlb_batched_pending() in mprotect() and friends to explcitly drain any pending reclaim TLB flushes. In the modern version of this solution, arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() is called to do that synchronisation. arm64's tlbbatch implementation simply issues TLBIs at queue-time (arch_tlbbatch_add_pending()), eliding the trailing dsb(ish). The trailing dsb(ish) is finally issued in arch_tlbbatch_flush() at the end of the batch to wait for all the issued TLBIs to complete. Now, the Arm ARM states: """ The completion of the TLB maintenance instruction is guaranteed only by the execution of a DSB by the observer that performed the TLB maintenance instruction. The execution of a DSB by a different observer does not have this effect, even if the DSB is known to be executed after the TLB maintenance instruction is observed by that different observer. """ arch_tlbbatch_add_pending() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() conform to this requirement because they are called from the same task (either kswapd or caller of madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)), so either they are on the same CPU or if the task was migrated, __switch_to() contains an extra dsb(ish). HOWEVER, arm64's arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() is also implemented as a dsb(ish). But this may be running on a CPU remote from the one that issued the outstanding TLBIs. So there is no architectural gurantee of synchonization. Therefore we are still vulnerable to the theoretical race described in Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries"). Fix this by flushing the entire mm in arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending(). This aligns with what the other arches that implement the tlbbatch feature do.

The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (431 commits) mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex() x86/mm: restore early initialization of high_memory for 32-bits mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio mm/hwpoison: introduce folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() helper cgroup: docs: add pswpin and pswpout items in cgroup v2 doc mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics selftests/mm: speed up split_huge_page_test selftests/mm: uffd-unit-tests support for hugepages > 2M docs/mm/damon/design: document active DAMOS filter type mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page entries MM documentation: add "Unaccepted" meminfo entry selftests/mm: add commentary about 9pfs bugs fork: use __vmalloc_node() for stack allocation docs/mm: Physical Memory: Populate the "Zones" section xen: balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state hv_balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state balloon_compaction: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers mm: remove references to folio in __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() ...

mm: support tlbbatch flush for a range of PTEs

2025-03-17T05:06:16+00:00

This patch lays the groundwork for supporting batch PTE unmapping in try_to_unmap_one(). It introduces range handling for TLB batch flushing, with the range currently set to the size of PAGE_SIZE. The function __flush_tlb_range_nosync() is architecture-specific and is only used within arch/arm64. This function requires the mm structure instead of the vma structure. To allow its reuse by arch_tlbbatch_add_pending(), which operates with mm but not vma, this patch modifies the argument of __flush_tlb_range_nosync() to take mm as its parameter.
