Bug Description
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
AWS discovered an issue of long EC2 instance launch times on the upcoming R8g instance types.
[Fix]
They have identified the following fixes that address this issue:
* https://<email address hidden><email address hidden>/
* https://<email address hidden><email address hidden>/
They would like this fixced in the jammy, and noble kernels.
For reference, here are the links to the above patches in 6.10-rc3:
* arm64: mm: Don't remap pgtables per-cont(pte|pmd) block
https:/
* arm64: mm: Batch dsb and isb when populating pgtables
https:/
AWS has requested only the first two patches of the series of three patches be back ported.
[Test Plan]
I have tested this, as has AWS.
[Where problems could occur]
With the reordering of tlb invalidation and memory barriers, there is some risk, but this chance for regressions on this change is fairly small as the scope is fairly narrow.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-aws/ 5.15.0- 1065.71 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification- needed- jammy-linux- aws' to 'verification- done-jammy- linux-aws' . If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed- jammy-linux- aws' to 'verification- failed- jammy-linux- aws'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Testing/ EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
