[PATCH v2 5/5] powerpc/64s: enable MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2020-12-14 07:03:57
Also in: linux-arch, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

On a 16-socket 192-core POWER8 system, a context switching benchmark
with as many software threads as CPUs (so each switch will go in and
out of idle), upstream can achieve a rate of about 1 million context
switches per second. After this patch it goes up to 118 million.
