Execs of dynamically linked binaries at 20-ish cores are bottlenecked on the i_mmap_rwsem semaphore, while the biggest singular contributor is free_pgd_range inducing the lock acquire back-to-back for all consecutive mappings of a given file. Tracing the count of said acquires while building the kernel shows: [1, 2) 799579 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [2, 3) 0 | | [3, 4) 3009 | | [4, 5) 3009 | | [5, 6) 326442 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | So in particular there were 326442 opportunities to coalesce 5 acquires into 1. Doing so increases execs per second by 4% (~50k to ~52k) when running the benchmark linked below. The lock remains the main bottleneck, I have not looked at other spots yet. Bench can be found here: http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c $ cc -O2 -o shared-doexec doexec.c $ ./shared-doexec $(nproc) Note this particular test makes sure binaries are separate, but the loader is shared.
