Patch "powerpc: Avoid taking a data miss on every userspace instruction miss" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

For an instruction miss this doesn't make sense, because we only use this information to detect if a data miss is the result of a stack expansion instruction or not. Worse still, it results in a data miss within every userspace instruction miss handler, because we try and load the very instruction we are about to install a pte for! A simple exec microbenchmark runs 6% faster on POWER8 with this fix: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { unsigned long left = atol(argv[1]); char leftstr[16]; if (left-- == 0) return 0; sprintf(leftstr, "%ld", left); execlp(argv[0], argv[0], leftstr, NULL); perror("exec failed\n"); return 0; } Pass the number of iterations on the command line (eg 10000) and time how long it takes to execute.

Patch "perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale" has been added to the 4.4-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: perf-tools-make-perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events-scale.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Mar 19 09:58:12 CET 2018 From: Stephane Eranian <eranian(a)google.com> Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 10:17:13 -0700 Subject: perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale From: Stephane Eranian <eranian(a)google.com> [ Upstream commit 88b897a30c525c2eee6e7f16e1e8d0f18830845e ] This patch significantly improves the execution time of perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() when running perf record on systems where processes have lots of threads. It just happens that cat /proc/pid/maps support uses a O(N^2) algorithm to generate each map line in the maps file. If you have 1000 threads, then you have necessarily 1000 stacks. For each vma, you need to check if it corresponds to a thread's stack. With a large number of threads, this can take a very long time. I have seen latencies >> 10mn. As of today, perf does not use the fact that a mapping is a stack, therefore we can work around the issue by using /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps. This entry does not try to map a vma to stack and is thus much faster with no loss of functonality. The proc-map-timeout logic is kept in case users still want some upper limit. In V2, we fix the file path from /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps to actual /proc/pid/task/pid/maps, tasks -> task. Thanks Arnaldo for catching this.
