I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload
has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page,
page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both
need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this
workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.Without patch, perf shows:
+ 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
- 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 79.80% __page_check_address
+ 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
+ 3.31% get_swap_page
+ 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk
+ 1.75% handle_pte_fault
+ 1.54% put_super
+ 1.41% grab_super_passive
+ 1.36% __swap_duplicate
+ 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.62% swap_info_get
+ 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 2.18% [k] find_next_bitswapout throughput is around 1300M/s.
With the patch, perf shows:
- 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 80.53% __page_check_address
+ 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
+ 2.44% get_swap_page
+ 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk
+ 1.40% handle_pte_fault
+ 1.15% __swap_duplicate
+ 1.05% put_super
+ 0.98% grab_super_passive
+ 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.57% swap_info_get
+ 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interruptswapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7%
improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change.Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs.
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times
which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data
becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this
doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend.Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch
code.Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
"A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated
largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device
tree as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes
basically touch every single platform in the process.We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
"multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their
headers to architecture independent code any more.It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
removing broken and obsolete code."* tag 'cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (133 commits)

cpuset synchronization from cgroup internal locking.After this change, there only remain a couple of mostly trivial
dependencies on cgroup_lock outside cgroup core proper. cgroup_lock
is scheduled to be unexported in this devel cycle.This will finally remove the fragile locking order around cgroup

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools
with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool
implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU
assignment in crypto more flexible.workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so
there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even
unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model -
workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this
round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction
replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm
fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon
and ready for the next merge window.Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has
been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on
assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit
message of 0b3dae68ac ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here
test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct
delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent
and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work
handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for
further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable.There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are
some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests

Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo:
"This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of
workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading.This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which
are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often
lead to buggy / unnecessary code. There are a couple legitimate use
cases in kernel. Hopefully, they can be converted and
[delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely. Even if not,
removing most of misuses should make it more difficult to find
examples of misuses and thus slow down growth of them.These changes are independent from other workqueue changes."

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:Main kernel side changes:
- Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
Oleg Nesterov.- Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.- tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
improvements.- Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
Tony Luck.- Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
Shin.- This tracing commit:
tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...Main tooling side changes:
- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.- Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.
- Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.- Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
Olsa.- Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
Stephane Eranian.- Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.
- 'perf test' improvements
- Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
Olsa.- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
put in place by organizations such as Fedora.- perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
snapshots, etc.- perf top now supports DWARF callchains.
- Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

Weisbecker, which prepare the code for 'full dynticks' (the ability to
stop or slow down the periodic tick arbitrarily, not just in idle time
as today):- Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This fix is generally

commit 205a872bd6f9a9a09ef035ef1e90185a8245cc58 ("cgroup: fix lockdep
warning for event_control") solved a deadlock by introducing a new
bug.Move cgrp->event_list to a temporary list doesn't mean you can traverse
this list locklessly, because at the same time cgroup_event_wake() can
be called and remove the event from the list. The result of this race
is disastrous.We adopt the way how kvm irqfd code implements race-free event removal,
which is now described in the comments in cgroup_event_wake().v3:
- call eventfd_signal() no matter it's eventfd close or cgroup removal
that removes the cgroup event.Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.It's safe in the protection of dentry->d_lock.
v2: check NULL dentry before acquiring dentry lock.

The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't

can park itself once it's doneAdd a create callback function as well.
