Subject: [PATCH 0/4] riscv: tlb flush improvements

This series optimizes the tlb flushes on riscv which used to simply
flush the whole tlb whatever the size of the range to flush or the size
of the stride.

Patch 3 introduces a threshold that is microarchitecture specific and
will very likely be modified by vendors, not sure though which mechanism
we'll use to do that (dt? alternatives? vendor initialization code?).

Next steps would be to implement:
- svinval extension as Mayuresh did here [1]
- BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH (I'll wait for arm64 patchset to land)
- MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
- MMU_GATHER_MERGE_VMAS

Any other idea welcome.

Alexandre Ghiti (4):
  riscv: Improve flush_tlb()
  riscv: Improve flush_tlb_range() for hugetlb pages
  riscv: Make __flush_tlb_range() loop over pte instead of flushing the
    whole tlb
  riscv: Improve flush_tlb_kernel_range()
