From a18ff1bde0c3da9ece3ba60e6eae2ef87f91a12e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Dike Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 14:51:19 -0700 Subject: uml: speed up exec flush_thread doesn't need to do a full page table walk in order to clear the address space. It knows what the end result needs to be, so it can call unmap directly. This results in a 10-20% speedup in an exec from bash.
