From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>
on x86, batched and deferred tlb shootdown has lead to 90%
performance increase on tlb shootdown. on arm64, HW can do
tlb shootdown without software IPI. But sync tlbi is still
quite expensive.
Even running a simplest program which requires swapout can
prove this is true,
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
#define SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024)
volatile unsigned char *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(p, 0x88, SIZE);
for (int k = 0; k < 10000; k++) {
/* swap in */
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i += 4096) {
(void)p[i];
}
/* swap out */
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}
}
Perf result on snapdragon 888 with 8 cores by using zRAM
as the swap block device.

ptep_clear_flush() takes 5.36% CPU in the micro-benchmark
swapping in/out a page mapped by only one process. If the
page is mapped by multiple processes, typically, like more
than 100 on a phone, the overhead would be much higher as
we have to run tlb flush 100 times for one single page.
Plus, tlb flush overhead will increase with the number
of CPU cores due to the bad scalability of tlb shootdown
in HW, so those ARM64 servers should expect much higher
overhead.
Further perf annonate shows 95% cpu time of ptep_clear_flush
is actually used by the final dsb() to wait for the completion
of tlb flush. This provides us a very good chance to leverage
the existing batched tlb in kernel. The minimum modification
is that we only send async tlbi in the first stage and we send
dsb while we have to sync in the second stage.
With the above simplest micro benchmark, collapsed time to
finish the program decreases around 5%.
Typical collapsed time w/o patch:
~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
0.21user 14.34system 0:14.69elapsed
w/ patch:
~ # time taskset -c 4 ./a.out
0.22user 13.45system 0:13.80elapsed
Also, Yicong Yang added the following observation.
Tested with benchmark in the commit on Kunpeng920 arm64 server,
observed an improvement around 12.5% with command
`time ./swap_bench`.
w/o w/
real 0m13.460s 0m11.771s
user 0m0.248s 0m0.279s
sys 0m12.039s 0m11.458s
Originally it's noticed a 16.99% overhead of ptep_clear_flush()
which has been eliminated by this patch:
[root@localhost yang]# perf record -- ./swap_bench && perf report
[...]
16.99% swap_bench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ptep_clear_flush
It is tested on 4,8,128 CPU platforms and shows to be beneficial on
large systems but may not have improvement on small systems like on
a 4 CPU platform. So make ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH depends
on CONFIG_EXPERT for this stage and add a runtime tunable to allow
to disable it according to the scenario.
Also this patch improve the performance of page migration. Using pmbench
and tries to migrate the pages of pmbench between node 0 and node 1 for
20 times, this patch decrease the time used more than 50% and saved the
time used by ptep_clear_flush().
This patch extends arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() to take an address of the
target page to support the feature on arm64. Also rename it to
arch_tlbbatch_add_pending() to better match its function since we
don't need to handle the mm on arm64 and add_mm is not proper.
add_pending will make sense to both as on x86 we're pending the
TLB flush operations while on arm64 we're pending the synchronize
operations.
