From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>
Aneesh reported that:
tlb_flush_mmu()
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
tlb_flush() <-- #1
tlb_flush_mmu_free()
tlb_table_flush()
tlb_table_invalidate()
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
tlb_flush() <-- #2
does two TLBIs when tlb->fullmm, because __tlb_reset_range() will not
clear tlb->end in that case.
Observe that any caller to __tlb_adjust_range() also sets at least one of
the tlb->freed_tables || tlb->cleared_p* bits, and those are
unconditionally cleared by __tlb_reset_range().
Change the condition for actually issuing TLBI to having one of those bits
set, as opposed to having tlb->end != 0.
0758cd830494 in upstream.
