Subject: [PATCH 4.14 05/50] powerpc/mm: Only read faulting instruction when necessary in do_page_fault()
From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>
[ Upstream commit 0e36b0d12501e278686634712975b785bae11641 ]
Commit a7a9dcd882a67 ("powerpc: Avoid taking a data miss on every
userspace instruction miss") has shown that limiting the read of
faulting instruction to likely cases improves performance.
This patch goes further into this direction by limiting the read
of the faulting instruction to the only cases where it is likely
needed.
On an MPC885, with the same benchmark app as in the commit referred
above, we see a reduction of about 3900 dTLB misses (approx 3%):
Before the patch:
Performance counter stats for './fault 500' (10 runs):
683033312 cpu-cycles ( +- 0.03% )
134538 dTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.03% )
46099 iTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.02% )
19681 faults ( +- 0.02% )
5.389747878 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.06% )
With the patch:
Performance counter stats for './fault 500' (10 runs):
682112862 cpu-cycles ( +- 0.03% )
130619 dTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.03% )
46073 iTLB-load-misses ( +- 0.05% )
19681 faults ( +- 0.01% )
5.381342641 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.07% )
The proper work of the huge stack expansion was tested with the
following app:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[1024 * 1025];
sprintf(buf, "Hello world !\n");
printf(buf);
exit(0);
}
