[PATCH v6 0/2] arm64: support batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation

[PATCH v6 0/2] arm64: support batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation

[Yicong Yang]

From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com>

Though ARM64 has the hardware to do tlb shootdown, the hardware
broadcasting is not free.
A simplest micro benchmark shows even on snapdragon 888 with only
8 cores, the overhead for ptep_clear_flush is huge even for paging
out one page mapped by only one process:
5.36%  a.out    [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ptep_clear_flush

While pages are mapped by multiple processes or HW has more CPUs,
the cost should become even higher due to the bad scalability of
tlb shootdown.

The same benchmark can result in 16.99% CPU consumption on ARM64
server with around 100 cores according to Yicong's test on patch
4/4.

This patchset leverages the existing BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH by
1. only send tlbi instructions in the first stage -
	arch_tlbbatch_add_mm()
2. wait for the completion of tlbi by dsb while doing tlbbatch
	sync in arch_tlbbatch_flush()
Testing on snapdragon shows the overhead of ptep_clear_flush
is removed by the patchset. The micro benchmark becomes 5% faster
even for one page mapped by single process on snapdragon 888.

With this support we're possible to do more optimization for memory
reclamation and migration[*].

-v6:
1. comment we don't defer TLB flush on platforms affected by ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI
2. use cpus_have_const_cap() instead of this_cpu_has_cap()
3. add tags from Punit, Thanks.
4. default enable the feature when cpus >= 8 rather than > 8, since the original
   improvement is observed on snapdragon 888 with 8 cores.

[PATCH v6 1/2] mm/tlbbatch: Introduce arch_tlbbatch_should_defer()

[Yicong Yang]

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The entire scheme of deferred TLB flush in reclaim path rests on the
fact that the cost to refill TLB entries is less than flushing out
individual entries by sending IPI to remote CPUs. But architecture
can have different ways to evaluate that. Hence apart from checking
TTU_BATCH_FLUSH in the TTU flags, rest of the decision should be
architecture specific.

[PATCH v6 2/2] arm64: support batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation

[Yicong Yang]

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@oppo.com>

on x86, batched and deferred tlb shootdown has lead to 90%
performance increase on tlb shootdown. on arm64, HW can do
tlb shootdown without software IPI. But sync tlbi is still
quite expensive.

Even running a simplest program which requires swapout can
prove this is true,
 #include <sys/types.h>
 #include <unistd.h>
 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <string.h>

 int main()
 {
 #define SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024)
         volatile unsigned char *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                                          MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

         memset(p, 0x88, SIZE);

         for (int k = 0; k < 10000; k++) {
                 /* swap in */
                 for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i += 4096) {
                         (void)p[i];
                 }

                 /* swap out */
                 madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
         }
 }

Perf result on snapdragon 888 with 8 cores by using zRAM
as the swap block device.

     1.15%  a.out    [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] zram_slot_lock

ptep_clear_flush() takes 5.36% CPU in the micro-benchmark
swapping in/out a page mapped by only one process. If the
page is mapped by multiple processes, typically, like more
than 100 on a phone, the overhead would be much higher as
we have to run tlb flush 100 times for one single page.
Plus, tlb flush overhead will increase with the number
of CPU cores due to the bad scalability of tlb shootdown
in HW, so those ARM64 servers should expect much higher
overhead.

Further perf annonate shows 95% cpu time of ptep_clear_flush
is actually used by the final dsb() to wait for the completion
of tlb flush. This provides us a very good chance to leverage
the existing batched tlb in kernel. The minimum modification
is that we only send async tlbi in the first stage and we send
dsb while we have to sync in the second stage.

With the above simplest micro benchmark, collapsed time to
finish the program decreases around 5%.

Typical collapsed time w/o patch:
 ~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
 0.21user 14.34system 0:14.69elapsed
w/ patch:
 ~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
 0.22user 13.45system 0:13.80elapsed

Also, Yicong Yang added the following observation.
	Tested with benchmark in the commit on Kunpeng920 arm64 server,
	observed an improvement around 12.5% with command
	`time ./swap_bench`.
		w/o		w/
	real	0m13.460s	0m11.771s
	user	0m0.248s	0m0.279s
	sys	0m12.039s	0m11.458s

	Originally it's noticed a 16.99% overhead of ptep_clear_flush()
	which has been eliminated by this patch:

	[root@localhost yang]# perf record -- ./swap_bench && perf report
	[...]
	16.99%  swap_bench  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ptep_clear_flush

It is tested on 4,8,128 CPU platforms and shows to be beneficial on
large systems but may not have improvement on small systems like on
a 4 CPU platform. So make ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH depends
on CONFIG_EXPERT for this stage and only make this enabled on systems
with more than 8 CPUs. User can modify this threshold according to
their own platforms by CONFIG_NR_CPUS_FOR_BATCHED_TLB.

Logic-wise it looks fine. I notice the “v6", and it should not be blocking,
but I would note that the name "arch_tlbbatch_add_mm()” does not make much
sense once the function also takes an address.

It could’ve been something like arch_set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() but that’s
too long. I’m not very good with naming, but the current name is not great.

ok the add_mm should still apply to x86 since the address is not used, but not for arm64.

What about arch_tlbbatch_add_pending()? Considering the x86 is pending the flush operation
while arm64 is pending the sychronization operation, arch_tlbbatch_add_pending() should
make sense to both.

Thanks.
