[PATCH 3/3] KVM: arm64: Skip break phase when we have FEAT_BBM level 2

From: Colton Lewis
Date: Fri Jun 02 2023 - 13:03:05 EST


Skip the break phase of break-before-make when the CPU has FEAT_BBM
level 2. This allows skipping some expensive invalidation and
serialization and should result in significant performance
improvements when changing block size.

The ARM manual section D5.10.1 specifically states under heading
"Support levels for changing block size" that FEAT_BBM Level 2 support
means changing block size does not break coherency, ordering
guarantees, or uniprocessor semantics.

Because a compare-and-exchange operation was used in the break phase
to serialize access to the PTE, an analogous compare-and-exchange is
introduced in the make phase to ensure serialization remains even if
the break phase is skipped and proper handling is introduced to
account for this function now having a way to fail.

Considering the possibility that the new pte has different permissions
than the old pte, the minimum necessary tlb invalidations are used.
