Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/mm/tlb: Remove flush_tlb_info from the stack
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2019 16:01:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190425230143.7008-1-namit@vmware.com> (raw)

Move flush_tlb_info variables off the stack. This allows to align
flush_tlb_info to cache-line and avoid potentially unnecessary cache
line movements. It also allows to have a fixed virtual-to-physical
translation of the variables, which reduces TLB misses.

Use per-CPU struct for flush_tlb_mm_range() and
flush_tlb_kernel_range(). Add debug assertions to ensure there are
no nested TLB flushes that might overwrite the per-CPU data. For
arch_tlbbatch_flush() use a const struct.

Results when running a microbenchmarks that performs 10^6 MADV_DONTEED
operations and touching a page, in which 3 additional threads run a
busy-wait loop (5 runs, PTI and retpolines are turned off):

			base		off-stack
			----		---------
avg (usec/op)		1.629		1.570	(-3%)
stddev			0.014		0.009

v2->v3:
- Remove redundant assignment operations
- Formatting, comments, adding full_flush_tlb_info [Ingo]

v1->v2:
- Initialize all flush_tlb_info fields [Andy]
