From 8abddd968a303db75e4debe77a3df484164f1f33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Mon, 3 May 2021 19:17:55 +1000 Subject: powerpc/64s/radix: Enable huge vmalloc mappings This reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due to vfs hashes being allocated with 2MB pages.
