      shrink struct dentry · c2452f32
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
      sad to see it going neglected.
      
      With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
      for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
      (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
      
      I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
      name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
      shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
      length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
      
      I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
      why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
      size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
      dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
      can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
      get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
      
      At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
      with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
      nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
      will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
      would require 4.
      
      I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
      reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
      to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
      faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
      <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
      33-36 byte names.
      
      Performance is a feature...

      powerpc/oprofile: Fix mutex locking for cell spu-oprofile · a5598ca0
      Carl Love 提交于
      The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while
      adding samples to the kernel buffer.
      
      This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data.  Data
      is added to the buffers from in interrupt context.  The data
      is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile
      function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function
      is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the
      mutex lock.
      
      The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer
      size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers.
      Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by
      incrementing the per CPU buffer stats.  This eliminates the
      need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU
      buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool
      maintainer.
      
      The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it
      is no longer needed given this patch.
      
      Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays
      by the spu number.  This still needs to be fixed as the spu
      numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

      Remove fs.h from mm.h · 4e950f6f
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
       1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
       2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.
      
      As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
      rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):
