At the moment updates in a TCE table are made by iommu_table_ops::exchange which update one TCE and invalidates an entry in the PHB/NPU TCE cache via set of registers called "TCE Kill" (hence the naming). Writing a TCE is a simple xchg() but invalidating the TCE cache is a relatively expensive OPAL call. Mapping a 100GB guest with PCI+NPU passed through devices takes about 20s. Thankfully we can do better. Since such big mappings happen at the boot time and when memory is plugged/onlined (i.e. not often), these requests come in 512 pages so we call call OPAL 512 times less which brings 20s from the above to less than 10s. Also, since TCE caches can be flushed entirely, calling OPAL for 512 TCEs helps skiboot [1] to decide whether to flush the entire cache or not. This implements 2 new iommu_table_ops callbacks: - xchg_no_kill() to update a single TCE with no TCE invalidation; - tce_kill() to invalidate multiple TCEs. This uses the same xchg_no_kill() callback for IODA1/2. This implements 2 new wrappers on top of the new callbacks similar to the existing iommu_tce_xchg(). This does not use the new callbacks yet, the next patches will; so this should not cause any behavioral change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
