Subject: [PATCH V6 2/2] ksm: replace jhash2 with faster hash
1. Pickup, Sioh Lee crc32 patch, after some long conversation
2. Merge with my work on xxhash
3. Add autoselect code to choice fastest hash helper.
Base idea are same, replace jhash2 with something faster.
Perf numbers:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2420 v2 @ 2.20GHz
ksm: crc32c hash() 12081 MB/s
ksm: xxh64 hash() 8770 MB/s
ksm: xxh32 hash() 4529 MB/s
ksm: jhash2 hash() 1569 MB/s
As jhash2 always will be slower (for data size like PAGE_SIZE),
just drop it from choice.
Add function to autoselect hash algo on boot,
based on hashing speed, like raid6 code does.
Move init of zero_checksum from init, to first call of fasthash():
1. KSM Init run on early kernel init,
run perf testing stuff on main kernel boot thread looks bad to me.
2. Crypto subsystem not avaliable at that early booting,
so crc32c even, compiled in, not avaliable
As crypto and ksm init, run at subsys_initcall() (4) kernel level of init,
all possible consumers will run later at 5+ levels
Output after first try of KSM to hash page:
ksm: crc32c hash() 15218 MB/s
ksm: xxhash hash() 8640 MB/s
ksm: choice crc32c as hash function
Thanks.
Changes:
v1 -> v2:
- Move xxhash() to xxhash.h/c and separate patches
v2 -> v3:
- Move xxhash() xxhash.c -> xxhash.h
- replace xxhash_t with 'unsigned long'
- update kerneldoc above xxhash()
v3 -> v4:
- Merge xxhash/crc32 patches
- Replace crc32 with crc32c (crc32 have same as jhash2 speed)
- Add auto speed test and auto choice of fastest hash function
v4 -> v5:
- Pickup missed xxhash patch
- Update code with compile time choicen xxhash
- Add more macros to make code more readable
- As now that only possible use xxhash or crc32c,
on crc32c allocation error, skip speed test and fallback to xxhash
- For workaround too early init problem (crc32c not avaliable),
move zero_checksum init to first call of fastcall()
- Don't alloc page for hash testing, use arch zero pages for that
v5 -> v6:
- Use libcrc32c instead of CRYPTO API, mainly for
code/Kconfig deps Simplification
- Add crc32c_available():
libcrc32c will BUG_ON on crc32c problems,
so test crc32c avaliable by crc32c_available()
- Simplify choice_fastest_hash()
- Simplify fasthash()
- struct rmap_item && stable_node have sizeof == 64 on x86_64,
that makes them cache friendly. As we don't suffer from hash collisions,
change hash type from unsigned long back to u32.
- Fix kbuild robot warning, make all local functions static
