x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes
Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
below advantages:
a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
to specific node.
In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.
Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing

x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes
Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
below advantages:
a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
to specific node.
In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

x86: don't call '->send_IPI_mask()' with an empty mask
As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send
an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy
with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that
case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying
reason for why those empty mask cases happened.
This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the
current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be
sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is
empty.
The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just
the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change
flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that,
the cpumask was no longer thread-local.
Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of
'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush
routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing
it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush
routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that
could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other
CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range

flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70

x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes
Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
below advantages:
a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
to specific node.
In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range
x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.
Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
