From d6d861e3c963b4077c83e078e3e300c4b81f93e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:29:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] paravirt: optimize ptep establish for pae The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping changes. Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock, the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit, followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad mapping installed.
