If there are no CPUs in mm_cpumask, no TLB flush is required at all. This patch adds a check for this case. Currently it's not tested for, in fact mm_is_thread_local() returns false if the current CPU is not in mm_cpumask, so it's treated as a global flush. This can come up in some cases like exec failure before the new mm has ever been switched to. This patch reduces TLBIE instructions required to build a kernel from about 120,000 to 45,000. Another situation it could help is page reclaim, KSM, THP, etc., (i.e., asynch operations external to the process) where the process is sleeping and has all TLBs flushed out of all CPUs.

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.
