This adds a second test for regular rb-tree testing in that there is no need to repeat it for the augmented flavor. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170719014603.19029-6-dave@stgolabs.netSigned-off-by:

While overall the code is very nicely commented, it might not be immediately obvious from the diagrams what is going on. Add a very brief summary of each case. Opposite cases where the node is the left child are left untouched. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170719014603.19029-4-dave@stgolabs.netSigned-off-by:

The only times the nil-parent (root node) condition is true is when the node is the first in the tree, or after fixing rbtree rule #4 and the case 1 rebalancing made the node the root. Such conditions do not apply most of the time: (i) The common case in an rbtree is to have more than a single node, so this is only true for the first rb_insert(). (ii) While there is a chance only one first rotation is needed, cases where the node's uncle is black (cases 2,3) are more common as we can have the following scenarios during the rotation looping: case1 only, case1+1, case2+3, case1+2+3, case3 only, etc. This patch, therefore, adds an unlikely() optimization to this conditional. When profiling with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES, a kernel build shows that the incorrect rate is less than 15%, and for workloads that involve insert mostly trees overtime tend to have less than 2% incorrect rate.

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4. A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree users[1]. The benefits of this series are that: (i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching. (ii) Optimize all interval tree users. (iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface. This patch (of 16): Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right, respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster overlap checking. This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular rb_root calls are: - rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement for rb_first. - rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new) - rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root) In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the interval tree changes. With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization requires zero overhead.

Patch series "Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN or warn for inconsistencies", v3. While working on enabling queued rwlock on SPARC, found this following code in include/asm-generic/qrwlock.h which uses CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to clear a byte. static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock) { return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN); } Problem is many of the fixed big endian architectures don't define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and clears the wrong byte. Define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture to fix it. Also found few more references of this config parameter in drivers/of/base.c drivers/of/fdt.c drivers/tty/serial/earlycon.c drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c Be aware that this may cause regressions if someone has worked-around problems in the above code already.

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number. Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following cases: 1) kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X)); "int" has to be sign extended to size_t. 2) while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids) MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV. Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

Alpha already had an optimised fill-memory-with-16-bit-quantity assembler routine called memsetw(). It has a slightly different calling convention from memset16() in that it takes a byte count, not a count of words. That's the same convention used by ARM's __memset routines, so rename Alpha's routine to match and add a memset16() wrapper around it. Then convert Alpha's scr_memsetw() to call memset16() instead of memsetw(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170720184539.31609-6-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4. A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte. I first noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an 'unsigned long' value. There turn out to be quite a few places in the kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both. The optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l(). Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added. This patch (of 8): memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte. memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and pointer values respectively.

If there are large numbers of hugepages to iterate while reading /proc/pid/smaps, the page walk never does cond_resched(). On archs without split pmd locks, there can be significant and observable contention on mm->page_table_lock which cause lengthy delays without rescheduling. Always reschedule in smaps_pte_range() if necessary since the pagewalk iteration can be expensive.

The fadvise() manpage is silent on fadvise()'s effect on memory-based filesystems (shmem, hugetlbfs & ramfs) and pseudo file systems (procfs, sysfs, kernfs). The current implementaion of fadvise is mostly a noop for such filesystems except for FADV_DONTNEED which will trigger expensive remote LRU cache draining. This patch makes the noop of fadvise() on such file systems very explicit. However this change has two side effects for ramfs and one for tmpfs. First fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) could remove the unmapped clean zero'ed pages of ramfs (allocated through read, readahead & read fault) and tmpfs (allocated through read fault). Also fadvise(FADV_WILLNEED) could create such clean zero'ed pages for ramfs. This change removes those possibilities. One of our generic libraries does fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED). Recently we observed high latency in fadvise() and noticed that the users have started using tmpfs files and the latency was due to expensive remote LRU cache draining. For normal tmpfs files (have data written on them), fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) will always trigger the unneeded remote cache draining.

Change the type to int to reflect the actual use of the functions and get rid of 'enum-conversion' warnings Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170731175000.56538-1-mka@chromium.orgSigned-off-by:

page_zone_id() is a specialized function to compare the zone for the pages that are within the section range. If the section of the pages are different, page_zone_id() can be different even if their zone is the same. This wrong usage doesn't cause any actual problem since __munlock_pagevec_fill() would be called again with failed index. However, it's better to use more appropriate function here.

To avoid deviation, the per cpu number of NUMA stats in vm_numa_stat_diff[] is included when a user *reads* the NUMA stats. Since NUMA stats does not be read by users frequently, and kernel does not need it to make a decision, it will not be a problem to make the readers more expensive.

There is significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (suggested by Dave Hansen). This patch updates NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter(suggested by Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't affect the kernel's decision, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use a large threshold. With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark.

Patch series "Separate NUMA statistics from zone statistics", v2. Each page allocation updates a set of per-zone statistics with a call to zone_statistics(). As discussed in 2017 MM summit, these are a substantial source of overhead in the page allocator and are very rarely consumed. This significant overhead in cache bouncing caused by zone counters (NUMA associated counters) update in parallel in multi-threaded page allocation (pointed out by Dave Hansen). A link to the MM summit slides: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/presentations/MM-summit2017/MM-summit2017-JesperBrouer.pdf To mitigate this overhead, this patchset separates NUMA statistics from zone statistics framework, and update NUMA counter threshold to a fixed size of MAX_U16 - 2, as a small threshold greatly increases the update frequency of the global counter from local per cpu counter (suggested by Ying Huang). The rationality is that these statistics counters don't need to be read often, unlike other VM counters, so it's not a problem to use a large threshold and make readers more expensive. With this patchset, we see 31.3% drop of CPU cycles(537-->369, see below) for per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark. Meanwhile, this patchset keeps the same style of virtual memory statistics with little end-user-visible effects (only move the numa stats to show behind zone page stats, see the first patch for details). I did an experiment of single page allocation and reclaim concurrently using Jesper's page_bench03 benchmark on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 processors with 126G memory) with different size of threshold of pcp counter.

This is an enhancement to avoid a non cooperative userfaultfd manager having to unregister all regions before it can close the uffd after all userfaultfd activity completed. The UFFDIO_UNREGISTER would serialize against the handle_userfault by taking the mmap_sem for writing, but we can simply repeat the page fault if we detect the uffd was closed and so the regular page fault paths should takeover.
