Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/mm/pti: in pti_clone_pgtable(), increase addr properly
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 13:23:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190820202314.1083149-1-songliubraving@fb.com> (raw)
Before 32-bit support, pti_clone_pmds() always adds PMD_SIZE to addr.
This behavior changes after the 32-bit support: pti_clone_pgtable()
increases addr by PUD_SIZE for pud_none(*pud) case, and increases addr by
PMD_SIZE for pmd_none(*pmd) case. However, this is not accurate because
addr may not be PUD_SIZE/PMD_SIZE aligned.
Fix this issue by properly rounding up addr to next PUD_SIZE/PMD_SIZE
in these two cases.
The following explains how we debugged this issue:
We use huge page for hot text and thus reduces iTLB misses. As we
benchmark 5.2 based kernel (vs. 4.16 based), we found ~2.5x more
iTLB misses.
To figure out the issue, I use a debug patch that dumps page table for
a pid. The following are information from the workload pid.
For the 4.16 based kernel:
host-4.16 # grep "x pmd" /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/dump_pid
0x0000000000600000-0x0000000000e00000 8M USR ro PSE x pmd
0xffffffff81a00000-0xffffffff81c00000 2M ro PSE x pmd
For the 5.2 based kernel before this patch:
host-5.2-before # grep "x pmd" /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/dump_pid
0x0000000000600000-0x0000000000e00000 8M USR ro PSE x pmd
The 8MB text in pmd is from user space. 4.16 kernel has 1 pmd for the
irq entry table; while 4.16 kernel doesn't have it.
For the 5.2 based kernel after this patch:
host-5.2-after # grep "x pmd" /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/dump_pid
0x0000000000600000-0x0000000000e00000 8M USR ro PSE x pmd
0xffffffff81000000-0xffffffff81e00000 14M ro PSE GLB x pmd
So after this patch, the 5.2 based kernel has 7 PMDs instead of 1 PMD
in 4.16 kernel. This further reduces iTLB miss rate
