Subject: mm: memcontrol: make cgroup_memory_noswap a static key
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 02:06:34 +0800
cgroup_memory_noswap is used in many hot path, so make it a static key
to lower the kernel overhead.
Using 8G of ZRAM as SWAP, benchmark using `perf stat -d -d -d --repeat 100`
with the following code snip in a non-root cgroup:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <linux/mman.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define MB 1024UL * 1024UL
int main(int argc, char **argv){
void *p = mmap(NULL, 8000 * MB, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(p, 0xff, 8000 * MB);
madvise(p, 8000 * MB, MADV_PAGEOUT);
memset(p, 0xff, 8000 * MB);
return 0;
}

The performance is clearly better. There is no significant hotspot
improvement according to perf report, as there are quite a few
callers of memcg_swap_enabled and do_memsw_account (which calls
memcg_swap_enabled). Many pieces of minor optimizations resulted
in lower overhead for the branch predictor, and bettter performance.
