      [IA64] relax per-cpu TLB requirement to DTC · 00b65985
      Chen, Kenneth W 提交于
      Instead of pinning per-cpu TLB into a DTR, use DTC.  This will free up
      one TLB entry for application, or even kernel if access pattern to
      per-cpu data area has high temporal locality.
      
      Since per-cpu is mapped at the top of region 7 address, we just need to
      add special case in alt_dtlb_miss.  The physical address of per-cpu data
      is already conveniently stored in IA64_KR(PER_CPU_DATA).  Latency for
      alt_dtlb_miss is not affected as we can hide all the latency.  It was
      measured that alt_dtlb_miss handler has 23 cycles latency before and
      after the patch.
      
      The performance effect is massive for applications that put lots of tlb
      pressure on CPU.  Workload environment like database online transaction
      processing or application uses tera-byte of memory would benefit the most.
      Measurement with industry standard database benchmark shown an upward
      of 1.6% gain.  While smaller workloads like cpu, java also showing small
      improvement.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
