      selinux: simplify and clean up inode_has_perm() · 95f4efb2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This is a rather hot function that is called with a potentially NULL
      "struct common_audit_data" pointer argument.  And in that case it has to
      provide and initialize its own dummy common_audit_data structure.
      
      However, all the _common_ cases already pass it a real audit-data
      structure, so that uncommon NULL case not only creates a silly run-time
      test, more importantly it causes that function to have a big stack frame
      for the dummy variable that isn't even used in the common case!
      
      So get rid of that stupid run-time behavior, and make the (few)
      functions that currently call with a NULL pointer just call a new helper
      function instead (naturally called inode_has_perm_noapd(), since it has
      no adp argument).
      
      This makes the run-time test be a static code generation issue instead,
      and allows for a much denser stack since none of the common callers need
      the dummy structure.  And a denser stack not only means less stack space
      usage, it means better cache behavior.  So we have a win-win-win from
      this simplification: less code executed, smaller stack footprint, and
      better cache behavior.

      selinux: avoid unnecessary avc cache stat hit count · 257313b2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      There is no point in counting hits - we can calculate it from the number
      of lookups and misses.
      
      This makes the avc statistics a bit smaller, and makes the code
      generation better too.

      selinux: de-crapify avc cache stat code generation · 044aea9b
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      You can turn off the avc cache stats, but distributions seem to not do
      that (perhaps because several performance tuning how-to's talk about the
      avc cache statistics).
      
      Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with
      the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in
      turn causes preemption disables etc.  We're talking ten+ instructions
      just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code.
      
      Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead.  Suddenly we
      only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics.  This
      is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit()
      function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an
      avc_lookup() call).
