      arm64: add newline to I-cache policy string · ea171967
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Due to a missing newline in the I-cache policy detection log output,
      it's possible to get some ratehr unfortunate output at boot time:
      
      CPU1: Booted secondary processor
      Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU1CPU2: Booted secondary processor
      Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU2CPU3: Booted secondary processor
      Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU3CPU4: Booted secondary processor
      Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU4CPU5: Booted secondary processor
      Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU5Brought up 6 CPUs
      SMP: Total of 6 processors activated.
      
      This patch adds the missing newline to the format string, cleaning up
      the output.

      x86/mm: Set TLB flush tunable to sane value (33) · a5102476
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      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

             708,832,859      dtlb_store_misses_walk_duration                                    [57.17%]

              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 10000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
      	echo x86-tsc > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock
      	echo 'reason != 0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/filter
      	echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/enable
      
      Pipe the trace output in to this script:

      Note that these data were gathered with the invlpg threshold set to
      150 pages.  Only data points with >=50 of samples were printed:

      x86/mm: New tunable for single vs full TLB flush · 2d040a1c
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      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.

      x86/mm: Add tracepoints for TLB flushes · d17d8f9d
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      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).

      x86/mm: Unify remote INVLPG code · a23421f1
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      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.

      x86/mm: Rip out complicated, out-of-date, buggy TLB flushing · e9f4e0a9
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      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.

      Our break hooks are used to handle brk exceptions from kgdb (and potentially
      kprobes if that code ever resurfaces), so don't bother calling them if
      the BRK exception comes from userspace.
      
      This prevents userspace from trapping to a kdb shell on systems where
      kgdb is enabled and active.

      KVM: s390: rework broken SIGP STOP interrupt handling · db373861
      David Hildenbrand 提交于
      A VCPU might never stop if it intercepts (for whatever reason) between
      "fake interrupt delivery" and execution of the stop function.
      
      Heart of the problem is that SIGP STOP is an interrupt that has to be
      processed on every SIE entry until the VCPU finally executes the stop
      function.
      
      This problem was made apparent by commit 7dfc63cf
      (KVM: s390: allow only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) at a time).
      With the old code, the guest could (incorrectly) inject SIGP STOPs
      multiple times. The bug of losing a sigp stop exists in KVM before
      7dfc63cf, but it was hidden by Linux guests doing a sigp stop loop.
      The new code (rightfully) returns CC=2 and does not queue a new
      interrupt.
      
      This patch is a simple fix of the problem. Longterm we are going to
      rework that code - e.g. get rid of the action bits and so on.

      ARM: nomadik: fix up double inversion in DT · 3181788c
      Linus Walleij 提交于
      The GPIO pin connected to card detect was inverted twice: once by
      the argument to the GPIO line itself where it was magically marked
      as active low by the flag GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW (0x01) in the third cell,
      and also marked active low AGAIN by explicitly stating
      "cd-inverted" (a deprecated method).
      
      After commit 78f87df2
      "mmc: mmci: Use the common mmc DT parser" this results in the
      line being inverted twice so it was effectively uninverted, while
      the old code would not have this effect, instead disregarding the
      flag on the GPIO line altogether, which is a bug. I admit the
      semantics may be unclear but inverting twice is as good a
      definition as any on how this should work.
      
      So fix up the buggy device tree. Use proper #includes so the DTS
      is clear and readable.
