Subject: [PATCH 1/5] mm/Kconfig: add ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU option
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:54:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <492346c5e787d639ddf6a3c86bdc14496696a498.1749702889.git.gehao@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1749702889.git.gehao@kylinos.cn>
From: Hao Ge <gehao@kylinos.cn>
Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64:
ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag
If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined((it is only defined for
s390 and alpha architectures),there's no need to statically define
the percpu variable _shared_alloc_tag. As the number of CPUs
increases,the wasted memory will grow correspondingly.
Therefore,we need to implement isolation for this purpose.
However,currently ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is a #define and
is enclosed within the #if defined(MODULE) conditional block.
When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures,
ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if defined(MODULE)).
However,when building modules for these architectures,the macro is explicitly defined.
Therefore,we need to make ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU a Kconfig option.
And replace all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in the kernel
code with MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU,gated by #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU.
Then,when defining the percpu variable _shared_alloc_tag,wrap it
with the CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU condition.
Therefore,we should add the ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU option
to the mm Kconfig file.
