* [PATCH lttng-ust v2] Use MAP_POPULATE to reduce pagefault when available
@ 2019-07-29 18:49 Jonathan Rajotte

Any ring buffer configuration bigger than PAGE_SIZE would result
in an increased latency for the first tracepoint hit (1200ns) landing on a
new PAGE_SIZE sized chunk of the mapped memory. This happens at least
for the first ring buffer traversal.

To alleviate this we can use MAP_POPULATE that will "prefault" the page
tables.

A similar flag seems to exist on freebsd (MAP_PREFAULT_READ) but I do
not have access to a system to test it and ensure it does indeed results
in the same effect. It mostly indicates that it prefaults for the
read case so I doubt it is the case.

Default to using MAP_POPULATE on Linux only for now. Support of
prefaulting on other platforms will be added as needed.
