This appears to help cached git diff performance by about 5% on a
POWER9 (with 32MB dentry cache hash).
Profiling git diff dTLB misses with a vanilla kernel:
81.75% git [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __d_lookup_rcu
7.21% git [kernel.vmlinux] [k] strncpy_from_user
1.77% git [kernel.vmlinux] [k] find_get_entry
1.59% git [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_free
40,168 dTLB-miss
0.100342754 seconds time elapsed
After this patch (and the subsequent powerpc HUGE_VMAP patches), the
dentry cache hash gets mapped with 2MB pages:
2,987 dTLB-miss
0.095933138 seconds time elapsed
elapsed time improvement isn't too scientific but seems consistent,
TLB misses certainly improves an order of magnitude. My laptop
takes a lot of misses here too, so x86 would be interesting to test,
I think it should just work there.
