[PATCH 00/94] Introducing the Maple Tree

[Liam Howlett <liam.howlett@oracle.com>]

The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently.  There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface.  The first user that is covered in this
patch set is the vm_area_struct, where three data structures are
replaced by the maple tree: the augmented rbtree, the vma cache, and the
linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct.  The long term goal is to reduce
or remove the mmap_sem contention.

The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes.  With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter than
the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses.  The removal of the linked list
between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need to pull
in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.

This patch is based on next-20210419

Performance on a 144 core x86:

While still using the mmap_sem, the performance seems fairly similar on
real-world workloads, while there are variations in micro-benchmarks.

Increase in performance in the following micro-benchmarks in Hmean:
- wis brk1-threads: Disregard, this is useless.
- wis malloc1-threads: Increase of 15% to 500%
- wis page_fault1-threads: Increase of up to 15%

Decrease in performance in the following micro-benchmarks in Hmean:
- wis brk1-processes: Decrease of 45% due to RCU required allocations
- wis signal1-threads: -3% to -20%

Mixed:
- wis malloc1-processes: +9% to -20%
- wis pthread_mutex1-threads: +9% to -16%
- wis page_fault3-threads: +7% to -21%

Patch organization:
Patches 1-20 introduce a new VMA API: lookup_vma().  This looks up the VMA at a
given address and returns either NULL or the VMA.  In looking at the VMA code,
find_vma() is often used to look up a vma and then check the limits (or
incorrectly assume that find_vma() does not continue searching upwards).
Initially, this is just a wrapper for find_vma_intersection() but becomes more
efficient once the maple tree is used.

Patches 21-25 update the radix tree test suite to support what is necessary for
the maple tree.

Patch 26 is the maple tree and test code: 36,152 lines are the
test_maple_tree.c file alone.

Patches 27-33 are the removal of the rbtree from the mm_struct.

Patches 34-44 are the removal of the vmacache from the kernel.

Patches 45-51 are optimizations for using the maple tree directly.

Patches 52-91 are the removal of the linked list from the mm_struct.

Patches 92-94 are to do with cleaning up the locking around the splitting of
VMAs using the maple tree state.
