Subject: [PATCH 05/35] autonuma: x86 pte_numa() and pmd_numa()
Implement pte_numa and pmd_numa and related methods on x86 arch.
We must atomically set the numa bit and clear the present bit to
define a pte_numa or pmd_numa.
Whenever a pte or pmd is set as pte_numa or pmd_numa the first time a
thread will touch that virtual address, a NUMA hinting page fault will
trigger. The NUMA hinting page fault will simply clear the NUMA bit
and set the present bit again to resolve the page fault.
NUMA hinting page faults are used:
1) to fill in the per-thread NUMA statistic stored for each thread in
a current->sched_autonuma data structure
2) to track the per-node last_nid information in the page structure to
detect false sharing
3) to queue the page mapped by the pte_numa or pmd_numa for async
migration if there have been enough NUMA hinting page faults on the
page coming from remote CPUs
NUMA hinting page faults don't do anything except collecting
information and possibly adding pages to migrate queues. They're
extremely quick and absolutely non blocking. They don't allocate any
memory either.
The only "input" information of the AutoNUMA algorithm that isn't
collected through NUMA hinting page faults are the per-process
(per-thread not) mm->mm_autonuma statistics. Those mm_autonuma
statistics are collected by the knuma_scand pmd/pte scans that are
also responsible for setting the pte_numa/pmd_numa to activate the
NUMA hinting page faults.
knuma_scand -> NUMA hinting page faults

\|/ \|/
mm_autonuma <-> sched_autonuma (CPU follow memory, this is mm_autonuma too)
page last_nid (false thread sharing/thread shared memory detection )
queue or cancel page migration (memory follow CPU)
After pages are queued, there is one knuma_migratedN daemon per NUMA
node that will take care of migrating the pages at a perfectly steady
rate in parallel from all nodes, and in round robin from all incoming
nodes going to the same destination node to keep all memory channels
in large boxes active at the same time to avoid hitting on a single
memory channel for too long to minimize memory bus migration latency
effects.
Once pages are queued for async migration by knuma_migratedN, their
migration can still be canceled before they're actually migrated, if
false sharing is later detected.
