Why This File Exists

CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.

#ifndef __UM_TLBFLUSH_H
#define __UM_TLBFLUSH_H

#include <linux/mm.h>

/*
 * In UML, we need to sync the TLB over by using mmap/munmap syscalls from
 * the process handling the MM (which can be the kernel itself).
 *
 * To track updates, we can hook into set_ptes and flush_tlb_*. With set_ptes
 * we catch all PTE transitions where memory that was unusable becomes usable.
 * While with flush_tlb_* we can track any memory that becomes unusable and
 * even if a higher layer of the page table was modified.
 *
 * So, we simply track updates using both methods and mark the memory area to
 * be synced later on. The only special case is that flush_tlb_kern_* needs to
 * be executed immediately as there is no good synchronization point in that
 * case. In contrast, in the set_ptes case we can wait for the next kernel
 * segfault before we do the synchornization.
 *
 *  - flush_tlb_all() flushes all processes TLBs
 *  - flush_tlb_mm(mm) flushes the specified mm context TLB's
 *  - flush_tlb_page(vma, vmaddr) flushes one page
 *  - flush_tlb_range(vma, start, end) flushes a range of pages
 *  - flush_tlb_kernel_range(start, end) flushes a range of kernel pages
