[PATCH 0/3] TLB flush range optimization

[Alex Shi]

Sorry. forget cc to lkml just now. Added.

This patcheset change flush_tlb_range from flushing all to one by one
'invlpg'. The following macro benchmark measured the performance improvement.
and the testing result show in the related commit log.

Any comments are appreciated!

Thanks for comments from Andi and Tim in developing!
