ARM: mm: avoid taking ASID spinlock on fastpath
When scheduling a new mm, we take a spinlock so that we can: 1. Safely allocate a new ASID, if required 2. Update our active_asids field without worrying about parallel updates to reserved_asids 3. Ensure that we flush our local TLB, if required However, this has the nasty affect of serialising context-switch across all CPUs in the system. The usual (fast) case is where the next mm has a valid ASID for the current generation. In such a scenario, we can avoid taking the lock and instead use atomic64_xchg to update the active_asids variable for the current CPU. If a rollover occurs on another CPU (which would take the lock), when copying the active_asids into the reserved_asids another atomic64_xchg is used to replace each active_asids with 0. The fast path can then detect this case and fall back to spinning on the lock. Tested-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
