The preventive sfence.vma were emitted because new mappings must be made visible to the page table walker but Svvptc guarantees that xRET act as a fence, so no need to sfence.vma for the uarchs that implement this extension. This allows to drastically reduce the number of sfence.vma emitted: * Ubuntu boot to login: Before: ~630k sfence.vma After: ~200k sfence.vma * ltp - mmapstress01 Before: ~45k After: ~6.3k * lmbench - lat_pagefault Before: ~665k After: 832 (!) * lmbench - lat_mmap Before: ~546k After: 718 (!)
