This patch series is moving out the ASID allocator in a separate file in order
to re-use it for the VMID. The benefits are:
- CPUs are not forced to exit a roll-over.
- Context invalidation is now per-CPU rather than
broadcasted.
There are no performance regression on the fastpath for ASID allocation.
Actually on the hackbench measurement (300 hackbench) it was .7% faster.
The measurement was made on a Seattle based SoC (8 CPUs), with the
number of VMID limited to 4-bit. The test involves running concurrently 40
guests with 2 vCPUs. Each guest will then execute hackbench 5 times
before exiting.
The performance difference between the current algo and the new one are:
- 2.5% less exit from the guest
- 22.4% more flush, although they are now local rather than
broadcasted
- 0.11% faster (just for the record)
The ASID allocator rework to make it generic has been divided in multiple
patches to make the review easier.
A branch with the patch based on 5.1-rc1 can be found:
