New Revision: 322769
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/322769
Log:
Improve the performance of the arm64 thread switching code.
The full system memory barrier around a TLB invalidation is stricter than
required. It needs to wait on accesses to main memory, with just the weaker
store variant before the invalidate. As such use the dsb istst, tlbi, dlb
ish sequence already used in pmap.
The tlbi instruction in this sequence is also unnecessarily using a
broadcast invalidate when it just needs to invalidate the local CPUs TLB.
Switch to a non-broadcast variant of this instruction.
