x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation: sender = smp_processor_id() % 8 This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has below advantages: a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes. b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity to specific node. In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload, we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

Second, once we have guard pages around the stack, we'll want to detect and handle stack overflow. I didn't enable it on x86_32. We'd need to rework the double-fault code a bit and I'm concerned about running out of vmalloc virtual addresses under some workloads. This patch, by itself, will behave somewhat erratically when the stack overflows while RSP is still more than a few tens of bytes above the bottom of the stack. Specifically, we'll get #PF and make it to no_context and them oops without reliably triggering a double-fault, and no_context doesn't know about stack overflows. The next patch will improve that case. Thank you to Nadav and Brian for helping me pay enough attention to the SDM to hopefully get this right.

x86/mm: Set TLB flush tunable to sane value (33) This has been run through Intel's LKP tests across a wide range of modern sytems and workloads and it wasn't shown to make a measurable performance difference positive or negative. Now that we have some shiny new tracepoints, we can actually figure out what the heck is going on. During a kernel compile, 60% of the flush_tlb_mm_range() calls are for a single page. It breaks down like this: size percent percent<= V V V GLOBAL: 2.20% 2.20% avg cycles: 2283 1: 56.92% 59.12% avg cycles: 1276 2: 13.78% 72.90% avg cycles: 1505 3: 8.26% 81.16% avg cycles: 1880 4: 7.41% 88.58% avg cycles: 2447 5: 1.73% 90.31% avg cycles: 2358 6: 1.32% 91.63% avg cycles: 2563 7: 1.14% 92.77% avg cycles: 2862 8: 0.62% 93.39% avg cycles: 3542 9: 0.08% 93.47% avg cycles: 3289 10: 0.43% 93.90% avg cycles: 3570 11: 0.20% 94.10% avg cycles: 3767 12: 0.08% 94.18% avg cycles: 3996 13: 0.03% 94.20% avg cycles: 4077 14: 0.02% 94.23% avg cycles: 4836 15: 0.04% 94.26% avg cycles: 5699 16: 0.06% 94.32% avg cycles: 5041 17: 0.57% 94.89% avg cycles: 5473 18: 0.02% 94.91% avg cycles: 5396 19: 0.03% 94.95% avg cycles: 5296 20: 0.02% 94.96% avg cycles: 6749 21: 0.18% 95.14% avg cycles: 6225 22: 0.01% 95.15% avg cycles: 6393 23: 0.01% 95.16% avg cycles: 6861 24: 0.12% 95.28% avg cycles: 6912 25: 0.05% 95.32% avg cycles: 7190 26: 0.01% 95.33% avg cycles: 7793 27: 0.01% 95.34% avg cycles: 7833 28: 0.01% 95.35% avg cycles: 8253 29: 0.08% 95.42% avg cycles: 8024 30: 0.03% 95.45% avg cycles: 9670 31: 0.01% 95.46% avg cycles: 8949 32: 0.01% 95.46% avg cycles: 9350 33: 3.11% 98.57% avg cycles: 8534 34: 0.02% 98.60% avg cycles: 10977 35: 0.02% 98.62% avg cycles: 11400 We get in to dimishing returns pretty quickly. On pre-IvyBridge CPUs, we used to set the limit at 8 pages, and it was set at 128 on IvyBrige. That 128 number looks pretty silly considering that less than 0.5% of the flushes are that large. The previous code tried to size this number based on the size of the TLB. Good idea, but it's error-prone, needs maintenance (which it didn't get up to now), and probably would not matter in practice much. Settting it to 33 means that we cover the mallopt M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, which is the most universally common size to do flushes. That's the short version. Here's the long one for why I chose 33: 1. These numbers have a constant bias in the timestamps from the tracing. Probably counts for a couple hundred cycles in each of these tests, but it should be fairly _even_ across all of them. The smallest delta between the tracepoints I have ever seen is 335 cycles. This is one reason the cycles/page cost goes down in general as the flushes get larger. The true cost is nearer to 100 cycles. 2. A full flush is more expensive than a single invlpg, but not by much (single percentages). 3. A dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns (~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes 22,000 cycles. 4. 22,000 cycles is approximately the equivalent of doing 85 invlpg operations. But, the odds are that the TLB can actually be filled up faster than that because TLB misses that are close in time also tend to leverage the same caches. 6. ~98% of flushes are <=33 pages. There are a lot of flushes of 33 pages, probably because libc's M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is set to 128k (32 pages) 7. I've found no consistent data to support changing the IvyBridge vs. SandyBridge tunable by a factor of 16 I used the performance counters on this hardware (IvyBridge i5-3320M) to figure out the tlb miss costs: ocperf.py stat -e dtlb_load_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_load_misses.walk_completed,dtlb_store_misses.walk_duration,dtlb_store_misses.walk_completed,itlb_misses.walk_duration,itlb_misses.walk_completed,itlb.itlb_flush 7,720,030,970 dtlb_load_misses_walk_duration [57.13%] 169,856,353 dtlb_load_misses_walk_completed [57.15%] 708,832,859 dtlb_store_misses_walk_duration [57.17%] 19,346,823 dtlb_store_misses_walk_completed [57.17%] 2,779,687,402 itlb_misses_walk_duration [57.15%] 82,241,148 itlb_misses_walk_completed [57.13%] 770,717 itlb_itlb_flush [57.11%] Show that a dtlb miss is 17.1ns (~45 cycles) and a itlb miss is 13.0ns (~34 cycles). At those rates, refilling the 512-entry dTLB takes 22,000 cycles. On a SandyBridge system with more cores and larger caches, those are dtlb=13.4ns and itlb=9.5ns. cat perf.stat.txt | perl -pe 's/,//g' | awk '/itlb_misses_walk_duration/ { icyc+=$1 } /itlb_misses_walk_completed/ { imiss+=$1 } /dtlb_.*_walk_duration/ { dcyc+=$1 } /dtlb_.*.*completed/ { dmiss+=$1 } END {print "itlb cyc/miss: ", icyc/imiss, " dtlb cyc/miss: ", dcyc/dmiss, " ----- ", icyc,imiss, dcyc,dmiss } On Westmere CPUs, the counters to use are: itlb_flush,itlb_misses.walk_cycles,itlb_misses.any,dtlb_misses.walk_cycles,dtlb_misses.any The assumptions that this code went in under: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/12/119 say that a flush and a refill are about 100ns. Being generous, that is over by a factor of 6 on the refill side, although it is fairly close on the cost of an invlpg.

x86/mm: Rip out complicated, out-of-date, buggy TLB flushing I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for several reasons: 1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident memory can populate the TLB. 2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice. 3. It is plain wrong in my vm: [ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6 Which leads to it to never use invlpg. 4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com (more on this in later patches) 5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59 I believe the sample times were too short. Running the benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit. Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later patch. This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later remain TLB lines accessing. But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU. So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at: (512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) = X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost) Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries. But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And 2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries. Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any suggestions are welcomed. As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

x86/mm: Make flush_tlb_mm_range() more predictable I'm about to rewrite the function almost completely, but first I want to get a functional change out of the way. Currently, if flush_tlb_mm_range() does not flush the local TLB at all, it will never do individual page flushes on remote CPUs. This seems to be an accident, and preserving it will be awkward. Let's change it first so that any regressions in the rewrite will be easier to bisect and so that the rewrite can attempt to change no visible behavior at all. The fix is simple: we can simply avoid short-circuiting the calculation of base_pages_to_flush. As a side effect, this also eliminates a potential corner case: if tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling == TLB_FLUSH_ALL, flush_tlb_mm_range() could have ended up flushing the entire address space one page at a time.

x86/mm: Make flush_tlb_mm_range() more predictable I'm about to rewrite the function almost completely, but first I want to get a functional change out of the way. Currently, if flush_tlb_mm_range() does not flush the local TLB at all, it will never do individual page flushes on remote CPUs. This seems to be an accident, and preserving it will be awkward. Let's change it first so that any regressions in the rewrite will be easier to bisect and so that the rewrite can attempt to change no visible behavior at all. The fix is simple: we can simply avoid short-circuiting the calculation of base_pages_to_flush. As a side effect, this also eliminates a potential corner case: if tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling == TLB_FLUSH_ALL, flush_tlb_mm_range() could have ended up flushing the entire address space one page at a time.

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later remain TLB lines accessing. But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU. So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at: (512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) = X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost) Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries. But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And 2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries. Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any suggestions are welcomed. As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

x86/mm: Rip out complicated, out-of-date, buggy TLB flushing I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for several reasons: 1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident memory can populate the TLB. 2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice. 3. It is plain wrong in my vm: [ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6 Which leads to it to never use invlpg. 4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com (more on this in later patches) 5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59 I believe the sample times were too short. Running the benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit. Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later patch. This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.

mm, x86/mm: Make the batched unmap TLB flush API more generic try_to_unmap_flush() used to open-code a rather x86-centric flush sequence: local_flush_tlb() + flush_tlb_others(). Rearrange the code so that the arch (only x86 for now) provides arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() and the core code calls those functions instead. I'll want this for x86 because, to enable address space ids, I can't support the flush_tlb_others() mode used by exising try_to_unmap_flush() implementation with good performance. I can support the new API fairly easily, though. I imagine that other architectures may be in a similar position. Architectures with strong remote flush primitives (arm64?) may have even worse performance problems with flush_tlb_others() the way that try_to_unmap_flush() uses it.
