    RISC-V: Limit the scope of TLB shootdowns · f1b65f20
    Andrew Waterman authored
    RISC-V systems perform TLB shootdows via the SBI, which currently
    performs an IPI to each of the remote harts which then performs a local
    TLB flush.  This process is a bit on the slow side, but we can at least
    speed it up for some common cases by restricting the set of harts to
    shoot down to the actual set of harts that are currently participating
    in the given mm context, as opposed to the entire system.
    
    This should provide a measurable performance increase, but we haven't
    measured it.  Regardless, it seems like obviously the right thing to do
    here.
