Subject: use per-cpu refcounts for apparmor labels?
I'm sanity-checking perf in various microbenchmarks and I found
apparmor to be the main bottleneck in some of them.
For example: will-it-scale open1_processes -t 16, top of the profile:
20.17% [kernel] [k] apparmor_file_alloc_security
20.08% [kernel] [k] apparmor_file_open
20.05% [kernel] [k] apparmor_file_free_security
18.39% [kernel] [k] apparmor_current_getsecid_subj
[snip]
This serializes on refing/unrefing apparmor objs, sounds like a great
candidate for per-cpu refcounting instead (I'm assuming they are
expected to be long-lived).
I would hack it up myself, but I failed to find a clear spot to switch
back from per-cpu to centalized operation and don't want to put
serious effort into it.
Can you sort this out?
Thanks,
