This is used primarily during fault processing.

unsigned long start, unsigned long end)

The software page tables for address space 'mm' for virtual
addresses in the range 'start' to 'end-1' are being torn down.

Some platforms cache the lowest level of the software page tables
in a linear virtually mapped array, to make TLB miss processing
more efficient. On such platforms, since the TLB is caching the
software page table structure, it needs to be flushed when parts
of the software page table tree are unlinked/freed.

Sparc64 is one example of a platform which does this.

Usually, when munmap()'ing an area of user virtual address
space, the kernel leaves the page table parts around and just
marks the individual pte's as invalid. However, if very large
portions of the address space are unmapped, the kernel frees up
those portions of the software page tables to prevent potential
excessive kernel memory usage caused by erratic mmap/mmunmap
sequences. It is at these times that flush_tlb_pgtables will
be invoked.
