Subject: [24/34] proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"
2.6.34-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>
commit 1306d603fcf1f6682f8575d1ff23631a24184b21 upstream.
Commit d899bf7b (procfs: provide stack information for threads) introduced
to show stack information in /proc/{pid}/status. But it cause large
performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps
command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to
take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation.
If many process run, the ps performance is,
[before d899bf7b]
% perf stat ps >/dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ps':
4090.435806 task-clock-msecs # 0.032 CPUs

[after d899bf7b]
% perf stat ps > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ps':
4305.081146 task-clock-msecs # 0.028 CPUs

23917502 cache-misses # 5.556 M/sec
152.277819582 seconds time elapsed
Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.
Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:
1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
/proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.
I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.
