This allows x86_64 kernels to enable vmapped stacks by setting
HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y - which enables the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y
high level Kconfig option.
There are a couple of interesting bits:
First, x86 lazily faults in top-level paging entries for the vmalloc
area. This won't work if we get a page fault while trying to access
the stack: the CPU will promote it to a double-fault and we'll die.
To avoid this problem, probe the new stack when switching stacks and
forcibly populate the pgd entry for the stack when switching mms.
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.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace accordingly where needed.
Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

Potential races between switch_mm() and TLB-flush or LDT-flush IPIs
could be very messy. AFAICT the code is currently okay, whether by
accident or by careful design, but enabling PCID will make it
considerably more complicated and will no longer be obviously safe.
Fix it with a big hammer: run switch_mm() with IRQs off.
To avoid a performance hit in the scheduler, we take advantage of
our knowledge that the scheduler already has IRQs disabled when it
calls switch_mm().

Currently all of the functions that live in tlb.c are inlined on
!SMP builds. One can debate whether this is a good idea (in many
respects the code in tlb.c is better than the inlined UP code).
Regardless, I want to add code that needs to be built on UP and SMP
kernels and relates to tlb flushing, so arrange for tlb.c to be
compiled unconditionally.

The recently introduced batched invalidations mechanism uses its own
mechanism for shootdown. However, it does wrong accounting of
interrupts (e.g., inc_irq_stat is called for local invalidations),
trace-points (e.g., TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN for local invalidations) and
may break some platforms as it bypasses the invalidation mechanisms of
Xen and SGI UV.
This patch reuses the existing TLB flushing mechnaisms instead. We use
NULL as mm to indicate a global invalidation is required.

TLB_REMOTE_SEND_IPI was recently introduced, but it counts bytes instead
of pages. In addition, it does not report correctly the case in which
flush_tlb_page flushes a page. Fix it to be consistent with other TLB
counters.

When switch_mm() activates a new PGD, it also sets a bit that
tells other CPUs that the PGD is in use so that TLB flush IPIs
will be sent. In order for that to work correctly, the bit
needs to be visible prior to loading the PGD and therefore
starting to fill the local TLB.
Document all the barriers that make this work correctly and add
a couple that were missing.

When unmapping pages it is necessary to flush the TLB. If that page was
accessed by another CPU then an IPI is used to flush the remote CPU. That
is a lot of IPIs if kswapd is scanning and unmapping >100K pages per
second.
There already is a window between when a page is unmapped and when it is
TLB flushed. This series increases the window so multiple pages can be
flushed using a single IPI. This should be safe or the kernel is hosed
already.
Patch 1 simply made the rest of the series easier to write as ftrace
could identify all the senders of TLB flush IPIS.
Patch 2 tracks what CPUs potentially map a PFN and then sends an IPI
to flush the entire TLB.
Patch 3 tracks when there potentially are writable TLB entries that
need to be batched differently
Patch 4 increases SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to further batch flushes
The performance impact is documented in the changelogs but in the optimistic
case on a 4-socket machine the full series reduces interrupts from 900K
interrupts/second to 60K interrupts/second.
This patch (of 4):
It is easy to trace when an IPI is received to flush a TLB but harder to
detect what event sent it. This patch makes it easy to identify the
source of IPIs being transmitted for TLB flushes on x86.

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.

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com
According to Paul McKenney, the right way to fix this is adding
an _rcuidle suffix to the tracepoint.

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:

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. Here is one example of the data
collected for flushing 10 and 11 pages (full data are below):
10: 0.43% 93.90% avg cycles: 3570 cycles/page: 357 samples: 4714
11: 0.20% 94.10% avg cycles: 3767 cycles/page: 342 samples: 2145
How to generate this table:

echo 'reason != 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/filter

Pipe the trace output in to this script:

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.

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).

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.

If we take the
if (end == TLB_FLUSH_ALL || vmflag & VM_HUGETLB) {
local_flush_tlb();
goto out;
}
path out of flush_tlb_mm_range(), we will have flushed the tlb,
but not incremented NR_TLB_LOCAL_FLUSH_ALL. This unifies the
way out of the function so that we always take a single path when
doing a full tlb flush.

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.

The
if (cpumask_any_but(mm_cpumask(mm), smp_processor_id()) < nr_cpu_ids)
line of code is not exactly the easiest to audit, especially when
it ends up at two different indentation levels. This eliminates
one of the the copy-n-paste versions. It also gives us a unified
exit point for each path through this function. We need this in
a minute for our tracepoint.

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.

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.

Since the shift count settable there is used for shifting values
of type "unsigned long", its value must not match or exceed
BITS_PER_LONG (otherwise the shift operations are undefined).
Similarly, the value must not be negative (but -1 must be

There are 32 INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR now in kernel. That is quite big
amount of vector in IDT. But it is still not enough, since modern x86
sever has more cpu number. That still causes heavy lock contention
in TLB flushing.
The patch using generic smp call function to replace it. That saved 32
vector number in IDT, and resolved the lock contention in TLB
flushing on large system.

Not every tlb_flush execution moment is really need to evacuate all
TLB entries, like in munmap, just few 'invlpg' is better for whole
process performance, since it leaves most of TLB entries for later
accessing.
This patch also rewrite flush_tlb_range for 2 purposes:
1, split it out to get flush_blt_mm_range function.
2, clean up to reduce line breaking, thanks for Borislav's input.
My micro benchmark 'mummap' http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59

I used Linux 3.4-RC6 w/ and w/o his patches as Xen dom0 and guest
kernel.
After running two benchmarks in Xen HVM guest, I found his patches
brought about 1%~3% performance gain in 'kernel build' and 'netperf'
testing, though the performance gain was not very stable in 'kernel
build' testing.
Some detailed testing results are below.
Testing Environment:
Hardware: Romley-EP platform
Xen version: latest upstream
Linux kernel: 3.4-RC6
Guest vCPU number: 8
NIC: Intel 82599 (10GB bandwidth)
In 'kernel build' testing in guest:
Command line | performance gain
make -j 4 | 3.81%
make -j 8 | 0.37%
make -j 16 | -0.52%
In 'netperf' testing, we tested TCP_STREAM with default socket size
16384 byte as large packet and 64 byte as small packet.
I used several clients to add networking pressure, then 'netperf' server
automatically generated several threads to response them.
I also used large-size packet and small-size packet in the testing.
Packet size | Thread number | performance gain
16384 bytes | 4 | 0.02%
16384 bytes | 8 | 2.21%

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has
different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg.
And there also has cases the tlb flush change has no any help.
This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance
to set different shift for different CPU type.
like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on
Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on
IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing
help.
For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

We don't need to flush large pages by PAGE_SIZE step, that just waste
time. and actually, large page don't need 'invlpg' optimizing according
to our micro benchmark. So, just flush whole TLB is enough for them.
The following result is tested on a 2CPU * 4cores * 2HT NHM EP machine,
with THP 'always' setting.
Multi-thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number:
without this patch with this patch
./mprotect -t 1 14ns 13ns
./mprotect -t 2 13ns 13ns
./mprotect -t 4 12ns 11ns
./mprotect -t 8 14ns 10ns

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

Since percpu_xxx() serial functions are duplicated with this_cpu_xxx().
Removing percpu_xxx() definition and replacing them by this_cpu_xxx()
in code. There is no function change in this patch, just preparation for
later percpu_xxx serial function removing.
On x86 machine the this_cpu_xxx() serial functions are same as
__this_cpu_xxx() without no unnecessary premmpt enable/disable.
Thanks for Stephen Rothwell, he found and fixed a i386 build error in
the patch.
Also thanks for Andrew Morton, he kept updating the patchset in Linus'
tree.
