2015-02-04x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4Andy Lutomirski1-3/+0
Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4. CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a per-cpu variable. To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and __switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

2014-08-10x86/mm: Fix sparse 'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling' warning and make the ↵Jeremiah Mahler1-1/+1
variable read-mostly A sparse warning is generated about 'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling' not being declared. arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:177:15: warning: symbol 'tlb_single_page_flush_ceiling' was not declared. Should it be static? Since it isn't used anywhere outside this file, fix the warning by making it static. Also, optimize the use of this variable by adding the __read_mostly directive, as suggested by David Rientjes.

2014-07-31x86/mm: Set TLB flush tunable to sane value (33)Dave Hansen1-2/+11
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. An increase of a single invlpg operation seems to lengthen the flush range operation by about 200 cycles.

2014-07-31x86/mm: New tunable for single vs full TLB flushDave Hansen1-0/+46
Most of the logic here is in the documentation file. Please take a look at it. I know we've come full-circle here back to a tunable, but this new one is *WAY* simpler. I challenge anyone to describe in one sentence how the old one worked. Here's the way the new one works: If we are flushing more pages than the ceiling, we use the full flush, otherwise we use per-page flushes.

2014-07-31x86/mm: Add tracepoints for TLB flushesDave Hansen1-2/+9
We don't have any good way to figure out what kinds of flushes are being attempted. Right now, we can try to use the vm counters, but those only tell us what we actually did with the hardware (one-by-one vs full) and don't tell us what was actually _requested_. This allows us to select out "interesting" TLB flushes that we might want to optimize (like the ranged ones) and ignore the ones that we have very little control over (the ones at context switch).

2014-07-31x86/mm: Unify remote INVLPG codeDave Hansen1-2/+2
There are currently three paths through the remote flush code: 1. full invalidation 2. single page invalidation using invlpg 3. ranged invalidation using invlpg This takes 2 and 3 and combines them in to a single path by making the single-page one just be the start and end be start plus a single page. This makes placement of our tracepoint easier.

2014-07-31x86/mm: Rip out complicated, out-of-date, buggy TLB flushingDave Hansen1-76/+11
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.

2014-01-25x86/mm: Eliminate redundant page table walk during TLB range flushingMel Gorman1-27/+1
When choosing between doing an address space or ranged flush, the x86 implementation of flush_tlb_mm_range takes into account whether there are any large pages in the range. A per-page flush typically requires fewer entries than would covered by a single large page and the check is redundant. There is one potential exception. THP migration flushes single THP entries and it conceivably would benefit from flushing a single entry instead of the mm. However, this flush is after a THP allocation, copy and page table update potentially with any other threads serialised behind it. In comparison to that, the flush is noise. It makes more sense to optimise balancing to require fewer flushes than to optimise the flush itself. This patch deletes the redundant huge page check.

2013-09-11mm: vmstats: track TLB flush stats on UP tooDave Hansen1-3/+1
The previous patch doing vmstats for TLB flushes ("mm: vmstats: tlb flush counters") effectively missed UP since arch/x86/mm/tlb.c is only compiled for SMP. UP systems do not do remote TLB flushes, so compile those counters out on UP. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c calls __flush_tlb() directly. This is probably an optimization since both the mtrr code and __flush_tlb() write cr4. It would probably be safe to make that a flush_tlb_all() (and then get these statistics), but the mtrr code is ancient and I'm hesitant to touch it other than to just stick in the counters.

I was investigating some TLB flush scaling issues and realized that we do not have any good methods for figuring out how many TLB flushes we are doing. It would be nice to be able to do these in generic code, but the arch-independent calls don't explicitly specify whether we actually need to do remote flushes or not. In the end, we really need to know if we actually _did_ global vs. local invalidations, so that leaves us with few options other than to muck with the counters from arch-specific code.

2012-06-27x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_rangeAlex Shi1-16/+81
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. My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70 percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel. Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP 'always': multi thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect -t 1 14ns 24ns ./mprotect -t 2 13ns 22ns ./mprotect -t 4 12ns 19ns ./mprotect -t 8 14ns 16ns ./mprotect -t 16 28ns 26ns ./mprotect -t 32 54ns 51ns ./mprotect -t 128 200ns 199ns Single process with sequencial flushing and memory accessing: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect 7ns 11ns ./mprotect -p 4096 -l 8 -n 10240 21ns 21ns [ hpa: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1B4B44D9196EFF41AE41FDA404FC0A100BFF94@SHSMSX101.ccr.corp.intel.com has additional performance numbers. ] Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340845344-27557-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com Signed-off-by: H.

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.

2010-07-21x86, tlb: Clean up and correct used typeBorislav Petkov1-3/+1
smp_processor_id() returns an int and not an unsigned long. Also, since the function is small enough, there's no need for a local variable caching its value. No functionality change, just cleanup.

2009-11-19x86: Eliminate redundant/contradicting cache line size config optionsJan Beulich1-1/+2
Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT (with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as the former can be easily calculated from it. To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA to account for last level cache line size (which here matters more than L1 cache line size). Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT, when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a separate option on ix86).

2009-09-24cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: x86Rusty Russell1-7/+8
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer). It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-08-21x86: don't call '->send_IPI_mask()' with an empty maskLinus Torvalds1-11/+10
As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 for details.

2009-03-18x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb pathsSuresh Siddha1-5/+0
Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths. x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI. Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.
