Subject: [PATCH v14 10/13] x86/mm: enable broadcast TLB invalidation for multi-threaded processes
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:00:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250226030129.530345-11-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250226030129.530345-1-riel@surriel.com>
Use broadcast TLB invalidation, using the INVPLGB instruction.
There is not enough room in the 12-bit ASID address space to hand
out broadcast ASIDs to every process. Only hand out broadcast ASIDs
to processes when they are observed to be simultaneously running
on 4 or more CPUs.
This also allows single threaded process to continue using the
cheaper, local TLB invalidation instructions like INVLPGB.
Due to the structure of flush_tlb_mm_range, the INVLPGB
flushing is done in a generically named broadcast_tlb_flush
function, which can later also be used for Intel RAR.
Combined with the removal of unnecessary lru_add_drain calls
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/12/19/1388) this results in a
nice performance boost for the will-it-scale tlb_flush2_threads
test on an AMD Milan system with 36 cores:
- vanilla kernel: 527k loops/second
- lru_add_drain removal: 731k loops/second
- only INVLPGB: 527k loops/second
- lru_add_drain + INVLPGB: 1157k loops/second
Profiling with only the INVLPGB changes showed while
TLB invalidation went down from 40% of the total CPU
time to only around 4% of CPU time, the contention
simply moved to the LRU lock.
Fixing both at the same time about doubles the
number of iterations per second from this case.
Comparing will-it-scale tlb_flush2_threads with
several different numbers of threads on a 72 CPU
AMD Milan shows similar results. The number
represents the total number of loops per second
across all the threads:
threads tip invlpgb
1 315k 304k
2 423k 424k
4 644k 1032k
8 652k 1267k
16 737k 1368k
32 759k 1199k
64 636k 1094k
72 609k 993k
1 and 2 thread performance is similar with and
without invlpgb, because invlpgb is only used
on processes using 4 or more CPUs simultaneously.
The number is the median across 5 runs.
Some numbers closer to real world performance
can be found at Phoronix, thanks to Michael:
