Dick Fowles, Don Zickus and Joe Mario have been working on improvements to perf, and noticed heavy cache line contention on the mm_cpumask, running linpack on a 60 core / 120 thread system. The cause turned out to be unnecessary atomic accesses to the mm_cpumask. When in lazy TLB mode, the CPU is only removed from the mm_cpumask if there is a TLB flush event. Most of the time, no such TLB flush happens, and the kernel skips the TLB reload. It can also skip the atomic memory set & test. Here is a summary of Joe's test results: * The __schedule function dropped from 24% of all program cycles down to 5.5%. * The cacheline contention/hotness for accesses to that bitmask went from being the 1st/2nd hottest - down to the 84th hottest (0.3% of all shared misses which is now quite cold) * The average load latency for the bit-test-n-set instruction in __schedule dropped from 10k-15k cycles down to an average of 600 cycles. * The linpack program results improved from 133 GFlops to 144 GFlops. Peak GFlops rose from 133 to 153.
